Clean water is not only important for people ...

Clean water is not only important for people to produce food, but necessary for our life. However, many people in Asia and Africa don’t have enough clean water to use. The World Health Organization reports that almost 4,000 children die each day of dirty water or lack of water.

Farmers use 70%~85% of the world fresh water to produce food. People usually don’t pay much attention to how much water industry (工业) uses, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water in developed countries.

Home use takes up only 8% in the world. But as cities grow, more water will be used. The local government has to try to make people use less water.

In 60% of European cities, people are saving water by using less. They even keep waste water for other use.

In Australia, the government has encouraged people to collect rainwater and recycle water from showers for a second use.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program to encourage families and businesses to check their water use and save more water. Scientists and the UN are looking for good water management as the key to solving the problem. We can all work together to protect our fresh water in our daily life.

九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

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% 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 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(缺少)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 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 steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up.
