It’s hard to find a person who doesn’t like traveling. The human’s hopes to explore (

new areas drive us to visit new countries and discover new places. It’s a pity that it is

search travel articles to learn more.

you should have a large background in traveling. It will help you create original (

articles and share your traveling secrets with your readers.

Singapore, as a small island country, has depended mostly on water supplies from

neighboring Malaysia for a long time. Low Pei Chin, a water engineer from the government,

told reporters from Agency France-Press, “Singapore is short of natural resources. That is

why we are always looking for ways to explore water resources. One major plan is to “collect

every drop” and “reuse endlessly”.

The government has created a highly developed system that turns wastewater into

drinkable water. Reused wastewater can meet 40 percent of Singapore’s water need. The

试卷第3页，共10页

government expects to meet 55 percent of the need by the year 2060.

Most of the water is used for micro-chip producing factories. But some of it is added to

the country’s drinking water supplies. The system also helps reduce ocean pollution, as only a

small amount of the treated water is sent into the sea. According to the United Nations, 80

percent of the world’s wastewater runs back into the oceans without being treated or reused.

The Changi Water Reclamation Plant on Singapore’s eastern coast is the main part of the

country’s recycling system. The system has a network of tunnels and high-technology

treatment centers. Parts of the water treatment centers are underground and wastewater enters

the center through a 48-kilometer tunnel. In one building, a network of air flow systems has

been put in place to keep the water smelling as fresh as possible. When waste arrives at the

plant, it goes through cleaning process before powerful pumps send it to areas above ground

for more treatment. There, the treated water receives the last process, through which bacteria

and viruses are cleared out. Every day, this large center can treat up to 900,000,000 liters of

wastewater.

Now the country also continues to enlarge its recycling system. It will add another

underground tunnel and a major water treatment center to serve the western part of the island.

The government expects work on the center to be completed by 2025. By the time the project

is finished, Singapore will have spent about $7.4 billion on its water treatment systems.

These new gloves are expensive, but they take the term “handsfree” to a new level.

People can talk into them as they make a call. The gloves cost 1,000 pounds a pair.

They come with a speaker unit (

扬声器装置

) put into the thumb (

拇指

) and a

microphone built into the little finger that can be connected to any using Bluetooth. Phone

users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of

their pocket or handbag.

Artist Sean Miles, form Winsor, designed (

设计

) the great gloves that double as a phone

in part of his project. He connected gloves with parts from mobile phones recycled through

O2. Mr. Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves: one in pink and the other in brown and

yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves.

If need is great, they will then be produced at a larger amount.

O2 Recycle, which supported the project, says that there are already 70 million unused

mobiles phones in the UK. Bill Eyers, head of O2 Recycle, asks people to recycle their

phones responsibly.

Designer Sean Miles, the4l-year-old man behind the designs, said, “I hope that my

project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets (

小器

具

). If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than throw them away as rubbish, I

think this project will have fulfilled its goal.”

Miles is now working on connected phones with handbag. So people don’t spend time

searching the around in their bags to find a phone when it rings.
