The world is not only hungry but 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% of fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground and so on. And we can not even use all of that because some of it has been made dirty.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember how important water is. The water that we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. Today we 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.
How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First they pollute the air. Then when it rains, the rain water makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain 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 stop wasting 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 the sea or goes underground.
But even though every large city reused its water, we would still not have enough. So we should make use of sea water by removing the salt in it. If we can take these steps, fresh water won’t be used up.
小题1:The world is thirsty for water because _______.

A．we don’t have enough fresh water	B．a lot of water goes into sewer systems
C．only 70% of the earth’s surface is water	D．sea water is widely used rather than fresh water

小题2:From this passage, we know acid rain _______.

A．is only bad for living things	B．is not bad for buildings and factories
C．can be produced in factories	D．is bad for people, animals, plants and buildings

小题3:One difficult way we can solve the problem is to _______.

A．use the water with salt in it	B．remove the salt from sea water
C．get water from underground	D．reuse the water in cities

小题4:What is the best title for this passage?

A．Fresh water and sea water	B．A thirsty country
C．The importance of water	D．The world’s water problem

Can you imagine a classroom without one thing that has long been considered a necessary part? No notebooks, no textbooks, no test papers. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.
A “Paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to realize. Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use hand-sized or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.
Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying, from maths to social science.
A high school teacher, Judy Herrel in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web. “Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible,” she said.
A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper.
“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,” she said.
But, with all this technology, there’s always a risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or a technical problem, paper textbooks should still be widely available (可得到的) for these students.
小题1:The underlined word “critical” in the first paragraph probably has the same meaning as _______.

A．worrying

B．dangerous

C．happy

D．important

小题2:You are sure to find __________ in a paperless classroom.

A．pens

B．computers

C．test papers

D．notebooks

小题3:According to Judy Herrel, __________.

A．the Web can talk the students everywhere

B．the Web can take the place of teachers

C．the Web is a better tool for information

D．the Web is for downloading information

小题4:The paper textbooks should still be widely available because __________.

A．students won’t have trouble with their pens

B．computers may break down sometimes

C．students may not get all information from the Internet

Oriole’s Nest
Picky, Picky
Scientists have no idea exactly why birds choose certain objects to build their nests. But scientists know that the main reason birds build nests is to keep their babies safe, warm and healthy.
Baby birds grow faster and are healthier when they are warm. They also learn to fly and leave the nests sooner than birds without warm homes.
What A Yarn (纱)
Yarn is big on an oriole’s shopping list during nest building. Scientists are still trying to work out why so many birds choose white yarn over other colors for nest building.
Scientists think that the white objects remind birds of cotton fluff (绒毛) they find in the wild.
Do It Naturally
Even though birds can help us recycle some of our junk by using it to build nests, they also need to use lots of natural things. Long grass, dried sticks, spider’s silk and mud are some of the natural ingredients that are good for nests, too.
You can make a collection box of things to leave for birds so they can help themselves. Hang a small plastic box with holes on a tree branch. Fill the box freely with nest building goodies. Hang the box on a tree and watch birds climb on board to pick through the junk to find their treasures.
Warning: Don’t let the birds turn into a tasty treat. Keep your bird station away from places where cats hang out.
For The Birds!
Stop! Don’t throw all that garbage out! Give some to the birds. Look and see how your old junk can help beautify and warm a bird’s new home.
小题1:The baby birds with warm homes are able to _____.

A．choose right objects	B．leave the nests sooner
C．build good nests	D．learn to fly higher

小题2: What can people make for birds to build nests?

A．Holes on the tree.	B．Food out of the rubbish.
C．A warning board.	D．A collection box of things.

小题3:What can we learn from the passage?

A．Birds build nests to store things.

B．Birds regard white objects as cotton.

C．Birds and humans can help each other.

D．Birds and cats fight against each other.
