Saving water is an important part of going green. As water becomes less and polluted more, conservation (保護(hù)) becomes more and more important. The less water you use, the less wastewater will end up in our rivers and lakes. Wasting water means that more water needs to be treated and cleaned, a process that requires quite a lot of energy.
As it is said above, cutting down on water usage is one of the most important things you can do for your local environment and the planet as a whole. That is why more green households are going blue: cutting down their water footprint by conserving and harvesting (收獲) water.
It may seem like a big concept, but going blue starts with small changes that everyone can make. Something as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl rather than under a tap to save even more. Make sure that the taps are fully turned off every time you step away from the sink or the shower — all those little drips can add up to a lot of water waste.
Another way of reducing your water footprint is reducing your dependence on the main water supply. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs. Many of us already practice rainwater harvesting in a small way. Collecting water from your gutters (檐溝) is a great way to keep your garden green without running the sprinkler (灑水器).

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 (缺乏) 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(工業(yè)) uses, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water in developed countries.
Home use takes up(占據(jù)) 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 wafer 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.

Give water, save lives

     A bottle of water may not seem like much to you, but thousands of bottles will be of great help for people who live in drought-hit(遭受旱災(zāi)) areas in China.

     Since last autumn, there has been very little rain in Southwest China. Some places, especially in Yunnan . Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, have experienced a serious drought. Crops (莊稼) died, the land cracked, and wells (井) and rivers dried up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty in finding safe drinking water.

     After learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by giving water, money and other things.

     Last week, every member of the Communist Youth League (共青團(tuán)員) and Young Pioneers(少先隊員) were encouraged to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit areas. Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined the activity. In Yuhua Primary School in Xi' an, 900 students bought over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money. They also wrote their wishes on the bottles.

     The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water.

     Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou in Guangdong went on the street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities.

     “I've heard that some children in drought-hit areas don' t have enough drinking water. They have to drink muddy ( 含有泥土的 ) water. I feel really sad about that," said one student. “I decide to take a shower twice a week instead of every day to save water.”he said.

1.Why did a serious drought happen in Southwest China?  

___________________________________________________________________________                      2.What does the underlined (劃線的) word "cracked" probably mean in Chinese?

  ______________________________________________                   !

3.What did people do after learning about the drought?

                                                                  

4.Is a bottle of water helpful for the people in drought-hit areas?

                                                                               

5.What can you learn from the passage?

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(jī)). 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.
