On March 22nd, World Water Day draws attention (注意力) to the importance of water in our lives, the problems many people have getting clean water, and solutions (解决方法) to these problems. Why do we need water? The human body is around 60% water, and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. As well as needing clean water to drink, we need it for cooking, washing and brushing our teeth. Farmers use water to make the plants grow. We also use a lot of water to make clothes. Do you know that it takes about 2,700 kilos of water to make one T-shirt? Does everyone have enough water? We all need water to live, but more than two billion people around the world live without clean water. Many of them live in the countryside or in places where there is a war (战争). Some people live in the desert and it is very hot, so it is very hard for them to get water. If we drink dirty water, we will be ill (生病的). In some countries, women and children walk many kilometers every day to get water, and sometimes the water isn’t even clean! If children spend most of their day walking to get water, they can’t go to school. What do people do on World Water Day? On World Water Day, many countries hold activities to tell people about the problems of dirty water and to try to find ways to provide everyone with clean water. They make posters to tell the importance of saving water. They also sell old books to raise money to help. 1．When is World Water Day? ___________________________________________________ 2．What do farmers use water for? ___________________________________________________ 3．How much water does it take to make a T-shirt? ___________________________________________________ 4．What will happen if we drink dirty water? ___________________________________________________ 5．Would you like to take part in World Water Day activities?

Coral reefs are built by lots of polyps. As old polyps die (死亡), new polyps grow on the top. That’s how coral reefs form. Polyps grow in special places with a lot of food. They also need clean and warm water to grow. Some coral reefs can exist for a long time, and they’re home to more than 4,000 kinds of fish! Save coral reefs! Many coral reefs are disappearing (消失). Coral reefs are amazing and wonderful, and they’re important to us in many fields. But they are in danger. Because of human activities, many coral reefs disappear. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), over 90% of coral reefs may disappear by 2050 if we do nothing.

Xiaoya says, “I think you’d better wash the fruit in a basin. It helps save water.” But Zhouzhou doesn’t think it matters a lot. So she still keeps the water running and washes apples. Then Xiaoya comes to her and tells her a story she knows from an activity. There is a small village in Africa. People there can only take showers once a week. And they even don’t have enough clean water to drink. After hearing the story, Zhouzhou feels sad for the African people.

It is called the “elixir (灵丹妙药) of life” because no life can live without it. Although nearly 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water, only a small part is fresh and fit for drinking. This makes it necessary to save water and use it wisely. Water is needed for many activities in our daily life such as drinking, cooking, cleaning and farming. Plants, animals and humans all count on water to live. Farmers need water for growing crops, and industries need water for producing things. Besides, water is necessary for keeping us clean and staying healthy. Without water, it is impossible to prevent illnesses. Sadly, being short of water is a growing problem in many parts of the world. Overuse, pollution, and climate change have made clean water harder to find. Many people don’t have safe drinking water. This affects their health and quality of life. Water is life. We must save it for ourselves and for future generations (代). 1．Why is water called the “elixir of life”? ___________________________________________________ 2．What do farmers need water for in their daily life? ___________________________________________________ 3．What things have made clean water harder to find? ___________________________________________________ 4．What can we do to save water?

Nothing can get in my way. I am a desert. My body is mostly made of sand and I seldom see rain. I am very hot during the day and very cold at night. Nobody wants to live in such difficult conditions, but a few plants and animals can survive. How amazing! I am the ocean. I am huge. I cover more than two-thirds of the earth’s surface, so people call the earth the “Blue Planet”. What a beautiful name! I am home to hundreds of thousands of living things. I am a forest. I am full of trees, and I produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe.

Every year, thousands of tourists from all over the world come to Yueyang in order to enjoy the beautiful sights around Dongting Lake. With the development of our society, protecting Dongting Lake has become a hot topic (话题). In fact, people of Yueyang are trying to improve the environment of the lake. On the one hand, they set up East Dongting Lake Nature Reserve in 1982. It provides a good place for birds and rare (珍稀的) animals. If you go there, you can see birds flying and milu deer (麋鹿) eating grass in East Dongting Lake Nature Reserve. On the other hand, factories mustn’t put wastewater into the lake. Fishes are living in the clean water. At the same time, they plant colourful flowers and green trees along Dongting Lake.

It is called the “elixir (灵丹妙药) of life” because no life can live without it. Although nearly 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water, only a small part is fresh and fit for drinking. This makes it necessary to save water and use it wisely. Water is needed for many activities in our daily life such as drinking, cooking, cleaning and farming. Plants, animals and humans all count on water to live. Farmers need water for growing crops, and industries need water for producing things. Besides, water is necessary for keeping us clean and staying healthy. Without water, it is impossible to prevent illnesses. Sadly, being short of water is a growing problem in many parts of the world. Overuse, pollution, and climate change have made clean water harder to find. Many people don’t have safe drinking water. This affects their health and quality of life. Water is life.
