  Napoga  is a 12—year---old  girl in Ghana, Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water . Every morning , she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away . It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga . They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然资源)on the earth.
Water covers 70 perent of the earth’s surface (表面). But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for very many things.  Fresh water covers only one percent of the earth’s surface.
You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s . But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers , lakes , and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish , too. Now, thirty-four percent of all kinds of fish are dying out.
How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then , when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants ,animals and buildings.
Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves  and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:
● Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450liters(升)each month.
● Leaky taps (漏水的龙头)waste a lot of water. Fix them right away.
●You can easily cut your 10—minute showers in half---and you’ll be just as clean.
●When you wash dishes, don’t let the water run.
●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn’t full , you are wasting water!

  The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.

  However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need of water is becoming larger and larger quickly-almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world-wide 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 sewer system(下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places. But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we'll be in no longer danger or drying up.

[  ]

A. man hasn't got enough food to eat

B. we haven't got enough fresh water

(2)The underlined word valuable means ________.

[  ]

A. mush and salty
B. fresh and enough
C. dear and useful
D. clean and helpful

(3) What should we do if we want to have enough fresh water?

(b) Carry salty water into lakes or rivers.

(c) Try to save the fresh water as much as possible.

(d) Do our best to use the water again.

(e) Drink and use all the water on the earth's surface.

[  ]

A. (c) and (e)
B. (a) and (d)
