About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn’t want to carry too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred- dollar bill in the safe for me.
The next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money. I didn’t have any proof that I had given the man the money. There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.
The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk. This I did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Since I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.
Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer’s plan into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel. I asked for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me, I denied（否认）it. The lawyer said to him, “I saw this gentleman give you a hundred dollars. If you don’t hand it over immediately, I’ll be forced to call the police.”
The clerk realized he had been tricked, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
“I don’t know how to thank you enough for getting my money back,” I said to the lawyer. And what you suppose he answered?
He said, “Oh, don’t thank me. That will be a hundred dollars, please.”

Xi’an, capital of Shaanxi Province, will be supplied with more water this summer. Water from the Shitouhe River, 140 kilometres west of Xi’an, is planned to flow into the city in early June, adding 350,000 tons of water per day for industrial use. With 200,000 tons of water a day already supplied by the existing project drawing water from the Heihe River, Xi’an will get a total of one million tons of water per day this summer, which can basically meet the city’s demands.
Xi’an, with a population of more than three million, needs one million tons of water supply a day for industrial and drinking use. However, it is only supplied with 700,000 tons of water a day at present, 500,000 tons from underground and 200,000 tons from the Heihe River.
Last summer, Xi'an suffered its worst water shortage ever, getting just half the amount it needed. More than 40 large-scale factories had to cut back on water use, and many people had to line up at midnight to get drinking water.
Project Heihe started in 1989 and its first stage was completed. It has received I.I billion yuan and still needs another billion to reach its planned supply of 1. 1 million tons of water a day. Combined with the 500,000 tons of underground water the city already gets, Xi’an will have much more water than it needs. Statistics suggest that industrial and commercial(商业的) companies use more than half of Xi’an’s water. So those factories have been asked to take water-saving measures using technology. About three quarters of the water used by them is reused. A citywide movement to save water has also started.
16. Xi’an needs at least____ tons of water per year.
A. 127,750,000 B. 200,750,000 C. 365,000,000 D. 255,500,000
17. At present, the water Xi’an needs is from______.
A. the Heihe River B. the Shitouhe River
C. the Heihe River and underground D. Both A and B.
18. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Part of Project Heihe has been completed.
B. Water from the Shitouhe River has already been drawn into Xi’an.
C. It will take another billion yuan to complete Project Heihe.
D. About half of the water needed by Xi’an is from underground.
19. With a large population of over 3 million, Xi’an has about half of the water used ____.
A. for drinking B. by industry C. for farming D. by factories
20. This passage is mainly about how to ___.
A. solve the water shortage problem in Xi’an
B. draw water from the Shitouhe River into Xi’an
C. complete Project Heihe D. reuse water
