Water and the Body
More than 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water. This includes both fresh water and sea water. More than 70% of all the fresh water in the world is in the form of ice, including massive glaciers, or ‘rivers of ice’, in the continent of Antarctica.
Water is also the most important substance in the human body. It makes up about 70% of your body’s weight. If you weigh 48 kilograms, the water in your body accounts for about ( 1 ) kilograms. Your blood is almost all water. Large parts of your skin, bones and other body tissues are water, too.
If the amount of water in your body is ( 2 ) by just one or two percent, you feel very thirsty. With a five percent loss, your skin would ( 3 ), you would find it hard to move your muscles, and you could not think clearly. A person would die if the amount of water fell by more than ten percent. People can ( 4 ) only a few days without water.
To stay healthy, each person needs to take in at least two liters of water every day. About half of this amount comes from the water and other liquids you drink. Solid foods provide about one third of the water needed by the body. ( 5 ), bread is 30% water, steak is 60%, potatoes are 90% and tomatoes are 95%. The rest of the water needed each day is produced by the body itself.
As you can see, water is not only the most common substance in the world, but is also vital for every person to live. We are often told to save energy and usually think of gas, electricity and oil. However, in the future, the thing which may be most important of all, is to make sure everyone has enough water.

New Zealand
New Zealand, or Aotearoa, as the original Maori inhabitants named it, is a country full of natural beauty. Although the country is only a little larger than Britain, it has everything a nature seeker could want: ancient forests, fast-flowing rivers, deep lakes, huge glaciers, snow-capped mountains and sandy beaches. However, it isn’t crowded – the population of 3.8 million is only around half that of London. It is said that there are more sheep than people.
Some of the animals and birds that live in New Zealand cannot be found anywhere else because it has been an island country for a long, long time. The most famous of them is a flightless bird called a kiwi, and this has become the nickname for New Zealand people too. New Zealanders speak English but its sound may be different from other varieties of English such as American and British. There is also a strong Maori influence on New Zealand culture.
The capital, Wellington, is a small city on the coast, and plenty of festivals, cafes and restaurants make it a fun place to be. January and February are good months to visit, when a series of festivals called the Summer City Program takes place.
The largest city is Auckland, which is known as the City of Sails because of the hundreds of sailboats in its beautiful harbor.
Adventure tourism is big business. A popular outdoor activity is hiking, and there are thousands of kilometers of tracks to choose from. Other popular activities include skiing, volcano climbing, sea kayaking and white-water rafting. Also, for air thrills there is parachuting, bungee jumping and skydiving.
However, you can still enjoy a visit to the country without being so active. There are many interesting and beautiful places to visit and things to see on a regular sightseeing tour.
