35、 the latest version, people can add a spoken message. The default through the computers speakers is: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen.

51、iners are often filled in faraway lands，then shipped from abroad，and stored in refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap，filling a glass，and drinking up！Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided，says Peffers，“M
52、ost bottled water is just tap water.”And what comes out of your tap is carefully monitored to follow the strict rules. Consider another fact that bottled water is surprisingly expensive, especially when compared with the alternative, which is almost free, and it is astonishing that Americas desire f
53、or bottled water seems impossible to satisfy, reaching nearly 30 billion bottles a year.“My parents generation never had bottled water，”says Isabelle Silverman，an Environmental Defense legal adviser. She has made a commitment to going bottle free.“You dont need to fetch it home from the store，and it
