However, only 3% of the water is fit for human use, and the rest is frozen or salty. According to a report by WWF, water shortage influences nearly 27% of the world's population. Many reasons cause water shortage. The first is climate change. The heat caused by climate change leads to water drying out. The next is water pollution, which makes the limited water unsafe for using. What's more, the growing population makes the situation worse. In the last 50 years, the human population has more than doubled, and today 41% of world's population is badly in need of water. So, what are the results of water shortage? Firstly, people lack enough water to drink, which does harm to their lives and health. Besides, water shortage brings about hunger. Plants can not grow when there is not enough water. As a result, there is less food for people. Therefore, it's time to take action. Here are three ways for us to save water in daily life. First, take shorter showers. Save a minute or two of your shower time. Millions of people doing even the little things makes a difference. Second, check your taps. If you forget to turn off a tap, all those wasted drops add up—sometimes 5,300 litres of water a year. Third, reuse water. Collect water after washing vegetables and pour it on your plants. Task I: Finish the chart according to the article. Fill in each blank with n．o．more．．．．than．．．．3．words.．．．．． Task II: Answer the following questions. 46. Why can we only use a little bit of the water on Earth? 47. What does the heat caused by climate change lead to? 48. Except the three mentioned methods, how can students contribute to water conservation in their daily lives? List your way(s) in about 20 words. Water Shortage Reasons (43) (44) Growing population (41) Lacking drinking water Hunger (42) Taking shorter showers Checking your taps (45) 任务型读写答题区 41.______________ 42. _____________ 43. ______________ 44. _____________ 45. _______________ 46. 47. 48.
