For years, I fought with the “bird’s nest” on top of my head. My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didn’t agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair “the mop (拖把)”.
When I got to university, I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly (卷曲的) hair straightened (拉直). However, it cost me $700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror.
But when I had to rent my own apartment, the cost became too high. So I turned to Google. In the end, I found a “curly haired” salon, a place designed for girls with crazy hair. When I arrived there, the stylist, Jacquai, was waiting for me.
“Do you really think this will work?” I asked.
“No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied. “You just haven’t found a way to work with it. That’s all.”
After the hour was over, Jacquai had completed her task. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn’t believe it: my hair looked beautiful.
Now my world has changed. I am more outgoing and confident than ever. People say that I’m looking better than ever but that they don’t know what has changed. Hair is not just hair. I don’t need to tell them. My hair speaks for itself.

The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.
