    Scientists are working on machines that will take salt out of ocean water. Some of these machines work very well, but they【S9】______too much to use as much as we would like. So the scientists keep trying to find cheaper【S10】______to do the job. The people and plants on the land of this Earth need nonsalty ocean water more than gold and jewels!
