It started in 1993 after a UN meeting about the environment. The UN shares reports about water around this day and has different themes (主题) every year to help people know and find ways to solve water problems. Clean water is quite important for drinking, staying clean, and staying healthy. Sadly, many kids die every day because they don’t have safe water. The UN says lots of people still don’t have it at home, especially in the countryside and places with wars or changing weather. Many people, often women and kids, have to spend lots of time walking far to get water if there is no clean water around. This takes time away from their work, school, and home tasks. Water is getting less and less, and by 2030, many people might have to move because there’s not enough water. Some groups are helping bring clean water to worldwide. We can also help by joining World Water Day activities, and being serious about our water use. And we need to use water smarter, especially in our daily lives.

Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish. In some cities, the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places. To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish—filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump. In other cities, the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow. 31．What’s the main idea of the article? A．To let us know taking away rubbish is a big job.

Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish. In some cities, the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places. To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish—filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump. In other cities, the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow. 31．What’s the main idea of the article? A．To let us know taking away rubbish is a big job.
