3．Little birds talk with their sisters and brothers in their nest.They make a sound for food.Mum tells them to be quiet when danger comes.But now a new study finds that kind of talk begins long before the babies are born.Even in the eggs，they can talk with each other and know when to get out or when to keep waiting.
To check that finding，a team of scientists from Spain watched unborn birds carefully in Salvora Island.Over there，sea birds produce eggs and minks eat baby birds.So it is quite a dangerous place for baby birds.Knowing when to come out of the egg is a matter of life and death.
Scientists collected sea bird eggs and put them into two groups.When minks come，a parent will give warning calls to the baby birds.Scientists played those calls for one group.While the other group stayed in a safe box.They would never hear such calls.
When scientists put all the eggs together，they found something surprising：after receiving warning calls，the eggs vibrated more than the others.Those vibrations moved from one egg to another.It was just like there were ears in the eggs.It was clear that unborn birds talked with their sisters and brothers about danger.

4．The world is not only hungry，but it is also thirsty for water.This may seem strange to you，since nearly 70% of the Earth's surface is covered with water.But about 97% of that is sea water，or salt water which is not drinkable.Man can only drink and use the other 3%—fresh water from rivers，lakes，underground，and other sources.But we cannot even use all of that.However，our need for water is becoming larger almost day by day.We should take steps to deal with this problem now and in this way we can avoid a serious worldwide water shortage later on.
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water.One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it.Today in most large cities，water is used only once and then sent out into a sewage system.From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground places.
But even if every large city reused its water，we still would not have enough.All we have to do，to make use of sea water in the world，is to remove the salt.If we take these steps we'll be in no danger of drying up.

e.Drink and use all the water on the Earth's surface.
