Daddy didn't love me. It was Mom who held the family together.

He just went to work every day and came home late. He had a list of things I did wrong and he always told me about them seriously.

Once when I stole(偷) a piece of candy, he made me take it back and tell the man I stole it and that I should pay for it. But it was Mom who understood I was just a kid.

I still remember how he taught me to ride a bicycle. I told him not to let it go, but he said it was time. I fell and Mom ran to pick me up, but he waved her off. I was so ▲ that I got right back on that bike and rode it myself. He didn't even feel embarrassed(尴尬的) and just smiled.

When I went to college, Mom wrote me lots of letters. He just sent checks and a little note about how great his garden looked now that I wasn't playing football on it.

Whenever I called home, he acted like he wanted to talk, but he always said, "I'll get your mother."

When I got married, it was Mom who cried. He just blew his nose loudly and left the room.Daddy just didn't know how to show love, unless.

①In December 2021, people in Shenzhen found that water ran more slowly from their taps.The government(政府) said the city was facing its most serious problem-- WE ARE SHORT ON WATER.

②Some other cities in the southern part of China, like Chengdu and Guangzhou, are also becoming" thirsty", The Paper reported. Compared with northern areas(地区), southern areas have more rain and are close to more rivers and lakes. So why are they still short on water?

③In big cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou, populations are growing fast. As a result, people and factories need more and more water. Each person in Shenzhen has less than 200 cubic meters of water each year. It's 1/12 of the country's average(平均水平). According to the UN, it is an "absolute water shortage"(极度缺水) when the number is below 500 cubic(立方) meters.

④Climate change is making the water problem worse. For example, most cities in Guangdong depend on the Dongjiang River as their main source(来源) of water. In 2021, the river was reported to be drying up. Because of climate change, there's also less snow in the mountains of Tibet. The snow has long been the source of water for many areas in China. Those mountains might provide less water in the future. B aidu文库

⑤There are other reasons for water shortages. For example, water pollution makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don't use water efficiently (有效地). Some cities have enough rainfall, but don't have big lakes or reservoirs(水库) to store water. The water just goes into the sea.
