We drink tea every day. But more than three hundred years ago most of the people in Europe (歐洲) did not know anything about tea. Some people heard about it, but very few of them know what to do with it.
　　There is a story about an English sailor (水手) who went to countries in the east，the west and the south. He went to India and China. One day he came home and brought some tea as a present for his mother. She told her friends about the present and asked them to a “tea party”. When her friends came to the “tea party”, the old woman offered (給) them brown tea-leaves (茶葉). The old woman’s friends began to eat them. Of course, nobody liked the tea-leaves.
　　At that time the sailor came in. He looked at the table and said, “Mother, what have you done with the tea?”
　　“I boiled (煮) it，as you said.”
　　“And what did you do with the water?”
　　“I threw it away, of course.” answered the old woman.
　　“Now you may throw away the leaves, too.” said her son.

Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(加納)，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(自然資源) on the earth.
Water covers 70% of the earth's surface. But most of that is sea water. We can't use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% 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, 34% 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 450 liters(升) each month.
●Leaky taps(漏水的龍頭) 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're  wasting water！
【小題1】On the earth，_______.

A．sea water is more widely(廣泛地) used than fresh water
B．there is very little water for our living
C．there is 71% of fresh water
D．we don't need to worry about water
【小題2】Acid rain _______.
A．is only bad for living things
B．can be produced in factories
C．doesn't do harm(傷害) to people，but it's bad for plants，animals and buildings
D．doesn't just do harm to human beings but to animals，plants and buildings
【小題3】Which of the following wastes water？
A．We need ten minutes if we want a clean shower.
B．We should put in enough clothes when we wash them in washing machines.
C．You can keep yourself clean by having a shower for five minutes.
D．Don't let the water run when we brush our teeth and wash dishes.
【小題4】What's the main idea of the passage？
A．Something must be done to prevent water from being polluted.
B．Clean water means much to human beings and living things around us.
C．It's time to take care of the water we use.
D．Water is the most important natural resource on the earth.

0．5 hectares of

forests

閱讀短文，判斷下列句子是否符合短文內(nèi)容。符合的寫“A”，不符合的寫“B”。（共5小題，每小題2分）

Water is the most important in our lives. Not Many people understand this but it’s quite true. The human body can go without food for a long time. We’ve got many examples for this. Yet two or three days without water can usually make people die. Man can’t live without water.

  Many people don’t understand how much water the human body needs to work well, and many people, especially young people, do not drink enough water, even in very hot weather. About two thirds of our body is water. When we do sports, some of the water will get away from our body. If we don’t drink some water, our body won’t have enough water. And if we don’t have enough water, we’ll feel tired and many of us will get ill. So you know how important water is to us.

 But at present we face water crisis(危機). Water is becoming less and less. So， we should protect water resources(資源) and try our best to save water in our daily life. Here are some tips for saving water:

1. Turn off the tap(水龍頭) in lime.

2. Take shorter showers.

3. Don’t let water run while washing your face and reuse the water after we finish washing.

4. Encourage your friends and neighbors to join in the action of saving water.

1.Nobody can live without water.

2.About one third of our body is water

3.If one doesn't have enough water, he’ll feel tired and may get ill.

4.We’d better take longer showers and let water run while washing.

5.It’s our duty to protect water resources and save water.
