9.March 22nd every year has been the World Water Day since 1993.Everyone knows that over 70% of our planet is covered with water,but do you know that only 3% of the water is fresh and less than 1% of this fresh water is available for human use?
Water shortage
The World Bank reports that 80countries now have water shortages,while 40% of the more than 2billion people,have no access to clean water.Fresh water is such a life-or-death issue(问题) in many parts of the world that every eight seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water.
How to save water
Turn off the tap while you brush you teeth in the morning and before bedtime,and you can save up to 8gallons of water!That adds up to more than 200gallons a month,enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds 6small sharks!
Keep your shower under 5minutes long.In fact,a 5-minute shower uses more water than a person living in poverty in a developing country uses in an entire day.
Fix the leak.If your toilet has a leak,you could be wasting about 200gallons of water every day.That would be like flushing your toilet more than 50times for no reason!
We each share responsibility for the sustainable management(可持续管理) of our water resources,which means using less water at home,in the workplace,at school,on holidays,on the farm,…everyone,everywhere,every time.

81.How long is it since the first World Water Day?(No more than 5words)
21 years
82.How many suggestions does the writer give us to save water?(No more than 2words)
3/Three
83.What example does the writer give us to show fresh water is a life-or-death issue?(No more than 10words)
Every eight seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water.
84.What's the purpose of writing this passage?(No more than 12words)
To tell readers the importance and the ways of saving water./To call on readers to save water./To arouse our responsibility for the sustainable management of our water resources..
