According to the World Health Organization, around 3.4 million people die every year from diseases caused
by inadequate water or sanitation and 99% of these deaths occur in the developing world. Last night’s Not a
Drop to Drink on the BBC followed the attempts of Gerry Mariner, a worker for the charity Water.org in his
attempts to deal with this problem. Gerry has been trying to provide clean and safe drinking water to a small
community on the edge of the Namibia desert, a region that experiences only about 14 inches (350 mm) of
rainfall a year, and one of the driest places on the planet.
Mariner has been living in the small community of Poopoolupu. His role there is to try to provide a solution
to the problem of access to drinking water. Most of the country is a desert, and the population of the region
relies on groundwater and wells for water. Before the arrival of Water.org, the women of the village were
walking seven hours a day to get water for their villages – three hours to the nearest well, and four hours
back. The way back usually takes longer because the women are carrying heavy buckets of precious water
and must not spill a drop. To make the problem worse, the wells are drying up in that region. Mariner’s job
is to dig new ones.
The documentary was beautifully shot: the surrounding desert of Namibia provides lots of opportunities for
spectacular landscape shots. However, this emphasis on the landscape made the viewers feel that the director
did not think the problems of the villagers were important. We didn’t actually see the women carrying their
heavy buckets of water, we only heard about them, while instead we saw incredible shots of shifting dunes

and blue skies. Watching it on a cold dark rainy night in the middle of February, I looked longingly at the
shots of dry sandy beaches, blue sky, and hot sun, and the villagers of Poopoolupu and their water problems
seemed unimportant. This is surely the wrong message to give the audience.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
Question: What could be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Technological Innovations and Their Price
B. The Way Mobile Phones Work
C. Mobile Phones: A Must of Our Time
D. The Reasons Why Mobile Phones Are Popular
