Words like ‘near’ and ‘far’ can mean different things depending on where you are and what you are doing. If you were at a zoo, then you might say you are ‘near’ an animal if you could reach out and touch it through the bars of its cage. ① Here the word ‘near’ means an arm’s length away. ② If you were telling someone how to get to your local shop, you might call it ‘near’ if it was a five-minute walk away. ③ It seems that you had better walk to the shop to improve your health. ④ Now the word ‘near’ means much longer than an arm’s length away. ⑤ Words like ‘near’, ‘far’, ‘small’, ‘big’, ‘hot’, and ‘cold’ all mean different things to different people at different times.

The water that is embedded in our food and manufactured products is called “virtual water.” For example, about 265 gallons of water is needed to produce two pounds of wheat. ① So, the virtual water of these two pounds of wheat is 265 gallons. ② Virtual water is also present in dairy products, soups, beverages, and liquid medicines. ③ However, it is necessary to drink as much water as possible to stay healthy. ④ Every day, humans take in lots of virtual water, and the amount of virtual water in a product needed is different depending on the product. ⑤For instance, to produce two pounds of meat requires about 5 to 10 times as much water as to produce two pounds of vegetables.

Water is the ultimate common resource. Once, streams of water seemed to be infinite and the idea of protecting water was considered silly. But rules change. Time and again, governments have studied how water works and have made new rules for its use. ① Now Ecuador has become the first nation on Earth to protect nature’s rights in its constitution. ② This move has declared that rivers and forests are not simply property but have a right to prosper. ③ Developing a water-based transportation system will improve Ecuador’s transportation infrastructure. ④ According to the constitution, a citizen might file suit to protect a damaged water basin. ⑤ More countries are acknowledging nature’s rights and are expected to follow Ecuador’s lead.

Considering that we use emoticons largely in electronic communication, an important question is whether they help Internet users to understand emotions in online communication. ① Particularly character-based emoticons are much more ambiguous than face-to-face cues and easily misunderstood by different users. ② Nonetheless, research indicates that they are useful tools in online text-based communication. ③ One study of 137 instant texting users said that emoticons allowed users to correctly understand the level and direction of emotion, attitude, and attention expression. Also, it said that emoticons were a definite advantage in non-verbal communication. ④ In fact, there have been few studies on the relationships between verbal and non-verbal communication. ⑤ Similarly, another study showed that emoticons were useful in strengthening the intensity of a verbal message, as well as in the expression of sarcasm.

There are many superstitions surrounding the world of the theater. ① Superstitions can be anything from not wanting to say the last line of a play before the first audience comes, to not wanting to rehearse the curtain call before the final rehearsal. ② It is said that Shakespeare’s famous tragedy Macbeth is cursed. So, to avoid problems actors never say the title of the play out loud when inside a theater or a theatrical space (like a rehearsal room or costume shop). ③ The interaction between the audience and the actors in the play influences the actors’ performance. ④ Since the play is set in Scotland, the secret code you say when you need to say the title of the play is “the Scottish play.” ⑤ According to the legend, when you do say the title accidently, you should go outside, turn around three times, and come back into the theater.
