The World’s Water Shortage

The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70 percent(百分比)of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent-the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources(资源). And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers(冰川). Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing(增加)rapidly-almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid(避免)a severe(严重的)worldwide water shortage later on.

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it.

Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道). From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying(净化)plant. There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring.

But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of the vast reserves(贮备)of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.

If we take these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up.

1. The world is thirsty for water because we can only use _________ percent of the water covering the surface of the earth.

A. 3 B. more than 3 C. less than 3 D. 97

2. Which of the following statements is Not true?

A. As things remain unchanging, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us.

B. Our need for water is becoming larger and larger.

C. There will be no water shortage in the future.

D. We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem.

3. To reuse water, we should __________.

A. treat it with chemicals

B. use it only once

C. send it out into a sewer system

D. make it flow into underground tanks

4. In order to have enough water, we should also make use of _________.

A. icebergs and glaciers

B. sea water

C. rivers and lake

D. underground water

5. In the passage, the writer tells us ________.

A. to make enough water

B. to pay more attention to the water shortage problem

C. to pipe used water to a purifying plant

D. to reuse the water

Hello, everyone!

As you know, many students like to work on the Internet. Of course it can bring us many good things. We can learn more knowledge outside our books, practise our spoken English with someone else and look up some useful information. At the same time, it can bring us some bad things as well. Some students have made too many friends, seen some bad information that is bad for us and spent too much time on it. We should know what to do and what not to do.

That’s my idea. Thank you for listening.
