Professor Hormats,a close watcher of China, said that every timehe goes to Beijing，he＇s impressed（印象深刻的）.During his early visits to China，people there wore the same style of clothes and could find only several kinds of shampoo（洗发水） in shops.
“For me it was just amazing, people living there may not have noticed the changes day by day, like watching grass grow," said David Roberts, who first visited China in 1981 and has been visiting the country every year since 1997.“I'd go to China every year and see the exciting changes," he said.

If you've ever walked through fog,you might have noticed that your skin and hair get wet.
36 Scientists are helping people collect these drops to make drinking water.
In some towns, there is no fresh water. People there have to use trucks to carry fresh water. 37
Since rain falls to the ground， it can easily be collected into tanks（水箱）.But the water drops that make up fog don't hit the ground. 38 To turn fog into water, you have to catch the water drops.
A fog catcher is made of nets with two posts. The nets are usually set up on a top of hill. As fog passes by, the nets catch the water drops. The drops run down the nets and into channels（水槽）.
39 A fog catcher can collect 10,000 liters of water a day. Scientists have helped set up fog catchers for towns in Chile, Nepal and Mexico.
Fog catchers are a great way for people in small and lonely towns to have their
own fresh water. Centuries before scientists created fog-catching nets, nature was making fog into water on its own. 40 People learned to drink the water collected on the leaves. Thanks to modern fog catchers, enough water can be made for a whole town!
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺，内容完整。
A.Instead，they float（漂浮）in the air.
B.As fog passed through the mountains, large leaves got the drops just like the nets do.
C.It is expensive.
D. This is because fogis made of tiny water drops.
E. The channels lead the water into large tanks where it can be stored.
