　　It seems strange that while three-quarters of the world’s surface is covered with water, getting an adequate(足够的)supply of it that’s fresh, clean, and safe to use for drinking, cooking and washing, is one of the most important problems that faces humanity．Most of the earth’s water is salt water in the oceans, only three percent is fresh and only a small part of that is possible．It may be trapped deep underground, and anyway unequally exist around the globe, so droughts and floods happen now and then．Of the remaining fresh water, much is polluted and dangerous to use．

　　A large part of UNICEF’s(联合国儿童基金会)work is bringing safe water to people and educating them in basic health care．Some diseases spread by polluted water are the most common causes of death and illness in children under five in the developing world．

　　Although water gives life, it can also carry some kinds of disease－a leading cause of blindness among children．Mosquitoes, and flies that live near in water bring yellow fever, malaria(疟疾)and sleeping sickness, so good piped water supplies are needed to reduce the need for people to gather in such an area．

　　In the country, women and children spend a major part of their time going out to collect water, often walking many miles each day to provide just the limited family needs for cooking, washing and drinking．And they can’t carry much while walking over rough fields bearing a heavy bucket(桶)．

　　Because children have to play their part in family life, and that includes getting water, they may be unable to go to school, or be so tired when they get there that they have difficulty learning．They may even have to spend the whole day without a drink as there may not be any clean water there, either．

　　Last year, UNICEF aimed to get almost 90000 water systems set up, to benefit 20 million people, working where it is most badly needed, often just to ensure keeping alive．A well may mean the difference between life and death．

(1)

What is the main reason for the inadequate supply of fresh water?
[　　]
A．	Most of it is polluted．
B．	Most of it is almost impossible to get．
C．	Most of it is in the sea．
D．	Floods and droughts have taken place time and again．

(2)

Which of the following statements is NOT true?
[　　]
A．	Water can spread diseases．
B．	There would be no life without water．
C．	Water has something to do with some children’s death and illness．
D．	Children would not die if they had enough fresh water．

(3)

The purpose of this passage is to ________．
[　　]
A．	inform the reader
B．	comfort the reader
C．	persuade the reader
D．	frighten the reader

What do you know about the sea? You may have seen it. Some of us have swum or bathed in it. It looks beautiful on a fine sunny day and it can be very rough when there is a strong wind. What other things do we know about it? Of course, the sea is very large. In the world there is more sea than land. The sea covers three quarters of the earth. The sea is also very deep in some places. It is not deep everywhere, some parts of it are very great. At one spot, near Japan the sea is nearly 11 kilometers deep! Just think of it, the highest mountain in the world is only about 9 kilometers high! If you have swum in the sea, you know that the water is salty. Rivers carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are more salty than other parts. Do you know the Dead Sea in Arabia? It is very salty. Swimmers cannot sink in it! Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea. It is a strange sea. In most parts of the sea, there are a lot of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. No sunlight can reach the depth of the sea. So it is completely dark. Strange fishes live there. Some are blind. Some have their own lights. Some have great jaws. With their great jaws, they swallow fish larger than themselves. The sea can be very cold. Deep sea divers know this well. At the top of the water may be warm. Then as the divers go down, the sea becomes colder and colder.
Many scientists are now making a study of animal and plant life in the sea. They hope to find new resources for mankind.
