It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.?? There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high rise flats. Children often fall over while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip (滑跤) on wet floors if they are not careful.?? Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances (电器) such as rice cookers which make life easy for the modern house wives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves (煤气灶) used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used.They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires. ?? But all such accidents can be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety.For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to.

Water goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle（循环）. The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again.

The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this groundwater, it wouldn’t look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earth’s surface.

Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once groundwater is pumped out of the ground from a deep well（井） by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.

43.In which order does water go around Earth?

a .Fall down as rain or snow.

b. Heated up by the sun on lakes, oceans and other wet places.

c. Cool off high in the sky.

d. Form clouds.

e. Change into vapour.

A. dacbe B. becda C. caebd D. bceda

44. The groundwater seems to________.

A. be just on the ground B. be pure water like that in a lake or river

C. exist in rocks and sand D. flow along like rivers or streams

A. run B. pushed C. drawn D. picked

46. What conclusion（结论） can we draw from the passage?
