　　In the US and Britain， the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now， Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse， students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tap is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit(IC)card reader at each tap shows the time. No money， no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system， which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system， but only 160 tons now.

　　Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they're still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.

　　“It's a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card，” said Ren， a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students' suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they've finished the shower. Not surprisingly， some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water­saving sense.

　　Without the time limits， most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.

　　Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience， 10～20 minutes is enough，” said Dai Zhihua， a third­year student who usually takes 8 minutes.

　　A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two­minute shower.

　　A total solar eclipse (日食) which will pass over some of Earth's most densely populated regions on July 22,2009，may become the most viewed eclipse ever.People across central India and in parts of Nepal，Bangladesh，Bhutan，and Myanmar will briefly find themselves in daytime darkness before the solar eclipse reaches China.

　　Most of the best viewing opportunities are in China，where some 30 million people will be able to witness the solar eclipse in the coastal cities of Shanghai and Hangzhou alone，according to eclipse scientist Jay Pasachoff of Williams College in Massachusetts.The eclipse will then continue east，passing over Japan's Ryukyu Islands before reaching its maximum duration(持续时间) point over the Pacific Ocean，where are sun will be completely blocked by the moon for 6 minutes and 39 seconds.

　　Thousands of overseas tourists and potentially millions of Chinese are gathering in areas along the eclipse path，where hotels are charging higher rates，according to Chinese media reports.The July 2009 total soalr eclipse is expected to have the longest duration of all eclipses in the 21st century，experts say.

　　Pasachoff will see only about five and half minutes of the total eclipse from a site in eastern China.Pasachoff and his team will observe the solar eclipse from a remote hotel at an altitude of about 900 meters on Tianhuangping，a mountain outside the Chinese city of Hangzhou.The location sits above pollution that could obstruct (遮住) a full view of the eclipse.

　　He chose the site years in advance so he could witness the event from the Asian mainland.Teams of astronomers from around the world have already joined him at Tianhuangping.Pasachoff will witness his 49th solar eclipse and 29th total eclipse since he began observing the sun on October 2,1959.“We brought about half a ton of equipment and picked up an equal amount borrowed here from our Chinese colleagues，so there is a lot to get ready，”he added.
