With child behavior, there is almost much more than it meets the eye. Because it occurs at so many different levels, child behavior that seems simple at one level can often be much more complex and meaningful at another.
For instance, a little child’s pattern of getting into cupboards, drawers and closed rooms, even after being told not to, is easily considered as bad behavior. When viewed at that level, the pattern is unacceptable and could lead to punishment. But it can be viewed at a more complex and meaningful level, namely child exploration. If a child regularly experiences an angry parent who seems determined to prevent any exploratory activities, the child will decide to continue to achieve future discoveries. When parents view this behavior as born out of natural curiosity rather than simple opposition, they are more likely to accept and appropriately monitor it. Although it may lead to warning responses to ensure the child’s safety, it is less likely to lead to punishment.
There are countless other examples. Holding a goldfish outside its bowl is foolish at one level but also can be seen as a young child’s attempt to express physical affection for a pet. Spending time with friends rather than family is selfish at one level but also indicates a teen’s need for independence.
The point here is that child behavior is often exhibited in simple forms that can appear to be oppositional, selfish or generally unacceptable if viewed only at that basic level. However, when viewed at a more meaningful level, the same apparently simple behavior can be seen as something larger and potentially more adaptive. This doesn’t mean the behavior should be ignored, especially if it is inappropriate. But looking at the bigger picture of a child’s behavior, adults might gain a fuller understanding of what they’re dealing with, which can create more flexibility in how they respond.

When Italian designer Arturo Vittori and Swiss architect Andreas Vogler first visited Ethiopia in 2012, they were shocked to see women and children forced to walk miles to access what, for them, had always been within easy reach, water. 
Only 34 percent of Ethiopians have access to a reliable water supply. The vast majority travel for up to six hours a day to fetch some or, even worse, has to use pond water polluted by human waste, subject to the spread of disease. Worldwide, about 768 million people—two and a half times the U.S. population—don’t have access to safe drinking water. So just imagine if we could just pull water out of thin air?
That was what Vittori and Vogler asked once they saw the severe problem and promised to take action. Their firm, Architecture and Vision, has since come up with WarkaWater, a grand palm-like structure that may look like something you’d see in a modern art museum, but it’s been designed to harvest water from the air.
WarkaWater, which is named after an Ethiopian fig tree, consists of a 30-foot bamboo frame containing a fog-harvesting nylon net that can catch water easily, can be easily lowered for repairs and allow communities to measure the water level. 
Collecting water through condensation（水珠）is hardly a new technique, but the creators of WarkaWater say their tree-inspired design is more effective, maximizing the surface and perfecting every angle to produce up to 26 gallons of drinkable water a day—enough for a family of seven.
Western NGOs have been working to provide clean water access in Africa for decades, so WarkaWater joins a very long list of earlier attempts. So far, high-tech solutions, like the once promising Playpump, have failed, mostly due to high costs and maintenance issues.
This is where WarkaWater stands apart—a low tech solution that is easy to repair and far more affordable than digging wells in the rocky Ethiopian plateau.

68. WarkaWater is designed mainly to __________.
 A. simplify maintenance       B. reduce water supply costs
 C. preserve water supplies      D. gather clean water efficiently
69. WarkaWater works by __________.
 A. a nylon net to make a bamboo frame to pull water out of air
 B. a fig tree to make a bamboo frame to harvest water from air
 C. a nylon net on a bamboo frame to pull water out of air
 D. a nylon net on a palm-like fig tree to harvest water from air
70. According to Paragraph 6, what caused Playpump to fail?
 A. Lack of money and maintenance issues. B. Unsuccessful designs.
 C. Lack of advanced technology.   D. Unreasonable structures.
