      For one week in April, millions of people chose not to watch TV for “TV Turnoff Week”. TV Turnoff
Week started in 1995 and is more popular every year. Many people discover that you can have a good time
with the TV off. If that sounds crazy to you, just have a look at some numbers:
     ―An American teenager spends 900 hours every year at school; the same teenager spends 1,023 hours
every year watching TV. That's 2 hours 49 minutes every day. 
     ―An average (平均) British person (not just teenagers) watches 3 hours 35 minutes every day.
     ―In the US, most TV has adverts. American children see 20,000 adverts every year. By age 65, an
American has seen two million ads!
     But some research from Britain says that may not be a problem. The London Business School watched
people carefully during TV adverts and they discovered that people don't watch a lot of the ads. The
researchers discovered that the most common activity during the adverts was talking to other people in the
room. Many other people started reading or doing housework or changed channels during adverts. They
only really watched them about 25 percent of the time.

       Many places in the world need more fresh water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water
into fresh. Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?
        In some places, the sun is not hot enough. Or it does not shine every day. In such places, other ways of
heating sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling sea
water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.
        But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is
freezing. The fresh part of salt water freezes (冷至結(jié)冰) first. To get fresh water, the bits of ice are taken out. 
        Which way is the best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way
for each place.
        Symi's way seems very good for small, hot places. It doesn't make very much water at a time. But the
factory is easy to build and costs little. That is why people in many dry places talk about Symi!
