   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 (表面) is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water.
Man can only use the other 3% the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources (源泉).
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 for 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 (缺乏) later on.
    We all have to learn how to stop wasting (浪费) our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop
(开发) 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 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 we will be in no danger of drying up.
1. The world is thirsty for water because ___.
[     ]
A. man has not got enough food to eat
B. we haven't got enough fresh water
C. only 70% of the earth's surface is water
D. more water is sent into sewer system
2. The underlined word "valuable" means ___ and ___.
[     ]
A. much, salty
B. fresh, enough
C. dear, useful
D. clean, helpful
3. What should we do if we want to have enough fresh water? ___.
[     ]
A. Make full use of the sea water
B. Carry salt 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
4. The best but the most difficult way to solve (解决) the water problem of the world is to ___.
[     ]
A. remove the salt from sea water
B. make the water in cities clean
C. take the water from underground
D. make the need for water smaller
5. What is the best title for this passage? ___.
[     ]
A. The Importance of the Water
B. The World's Water Problem
C. The Thirsty World
D. Fresh Water and Sea Water

     One of the most important world problems is the growing population on the earth. The population of the world today
is more than 6,500,000,000. That is a great number and we know it quite well. The important thing is not how large the
population of the world is now, but is the speed of the growth. It's about 1.63% every year.
     In order to give you some ideas of the birth rate, look at the second hand of your watch. Every second, four babies

     As prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) trend (趋势) in the U.S. continues
to grow.
     "We needed furniture (家具) for our living room," says John Ross, "and we just didn't have enough
money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago,
and like many young people these days, they are trying to make a home at a time when the cost of living
is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week lesson for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their
furniture and make repairs around the house.

save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourself", you can go

     Life in the 21st century will be different from life in the 20th century, because many changes will take
 place in the new century. But what will the changes be?
     The population is growing fast. There will be more and more people in the world and most of them will
 live longer than before. Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in
 every home. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects in schools.
     People will work fewer hours than they did in the 20th century, and they will have more free time for
 sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And more people will go to
  other countries for holidays.
     There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for buildings, new towns and houses.
 Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat
 it every day, instead, they eat more vegetables and fruit. Maybe people will be healthier.
     Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots (机器人).
