| The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems 1 that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we 2 drink or use for watering plants. Man can only drink and use the 3% of the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that, 3 some of it has been dirty. Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to 4 water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. 5 have always been making study in this field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then 6 to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be 7 . What could people turn to next? The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be 8 is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is 9 , but it's already in use in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no 10 of drying up. |
