Question

【题目】 Mina Guli is a 46yearold woman from Australia. She cares a lot about saving water. To help protect water on the earth, she has organized an event called “Run4Water”. Last year, she spent seven weeks running across seven deserts on seven continents(大洲) to let people know about the water shortage(短缺) across the world.

Mina's journey covered more than 1，400 kilometers, almost the distance of 40 marathons(马拉松). She went to Spain, Jordan, Antarctica, Australia, Chile, South Africa and America.

In Jordan, Mina really came to understand how important water was. She planned to use the local water along the way, but she got little water in this country. “The wells are dry，” she said. “Jordan is having serious water problems. In the places where you expect to get water, you don't get any.”

On her way, Mina also talked with local people about the water conditions. She recorded the whole journey and put it on the Internet so that people could see what she was doing and start to save water in their own ways.
