This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70 percent（百分比）of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent－the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources（资源）. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers（冰川）. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing（增加）rapidly－almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid（避免）a severe（严重的）worldwide water shortage 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 the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible topipe used water to a purifying（净化）plant. There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of the vast reserves（贮备）of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.If we take these st eps we’ll be in no danger of drying up.1. The world is thirsty for water because we can only use _________ percent of the water covering the surface of the earth.A. 3B. more than 3C. less than 3D. 972. Which of the following statements is Not true?A. As things remain unchanging, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us.B. Our need for water is becoming larger and larger.C. There will be no water shortage in the future.D. We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem.3. To reuse water, we should __________.A. treat it with chemicalsB. use it only onceC. send it out into a sewer systemD. make it flow into underground tanks4. In order to have enough water, we should also make use of _________.A. icebergs and glaciersB. sea waterC. rivers and lakeD. underground water5. In the passage, the writer tells us ________.A. to make enough waterB. to pay more attention to the water shortage problemC. to pipe used water to a purifying plantD. to reuse the waterBThe United States has many different kinds of climates（气候）. On the northwest coast（海岸）, the temperature changes very little between summer and winter, but the north central（中部的）states have a very different kind of climate. In those states, people wear light clothes in summer, and they need heavy woolen clothes in winter.In the southwest coast, the climate is rainy and warm during the winter, but the summer is dry and hot.In the northeast of the United States, summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures. Summer is usually hot, and winter is usually cold. Spring temperatures are warm, and fall temperatures are cool.Years ago, people in the cold parts of the United States didn’t often get fresh （新鲜的）vegetables and fresh fruits during the summer. Today, however（然而），trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very quickly to all parts of the United States. In thi s way, Americans “send their climates” to people in other states.1.

People found graphite in 1564. They thought it was a kind of lead. Today we still call pencils “lead pencils”. The first pencils were made by putting strings（线）around sticks of graphite.The first wooden pencils were made by Kasper Faber in Germany in 1761.Erasers（橡皮）like those we use today were first made in France by a man named Magellan in 1752.
