The World’s Water Shortage(缺乏)

    The world is not only hungrybut it is also thirsty for waterThis may seem strange to you  since nearly 70 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with waterBut about 97 percent of this  huge amount is sea wateror salt waterMan can only drink and use the other 3 percent--the flesh water from riverslakesundergroundand other sourcesAnd we cannot even use all of thatbecause some of it is in the form of icebergs(冰山)and glaciers(冰河)Even worsesome of it has been polluted

    Howeveras things stand todaythis small amount of fresh water is still enough for usBut  our need for water is increasing rapidly--almost day by dayOnly if we take steps to deal with  this problem now can we avoid a serious worldwide water shortage later on

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

    Today in most large citieswater is used only once and then sent out into a sewer(下水道)  systemFrom there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanksBut it is possible  to pipe used water to a purifying plant(净化工厂)There it can be treated with chemicals so that  it can be used againjust as if it were fresh from a spring

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

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

3In order to have enough waterwe should also make use of       

    Aicebergs and glaciers                  Bsea water

    Crivers and lakes                                   Dunderground water

    In many waysthe life of a tree is similar(相似的)to our own life experience. When we are looking at the life of a tree , we learn about that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challengeEnjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of the trees!
