篇二：Saving Water
The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale.

節(jié)約用水
世界不僅餓了,而且渴了水。這對你來說可能很奇怪,因為地球表面近75%的表面覆蓋著水。但約97%的這一巨大數(shù)量是海水或咸水。人類只能喝和使用其他3%——來自河流、湖泊、地下和其他來源的淡水。我們甚至不能使用所有這些,因為其中一些是以冰山和冰川的形式。更糟糕的是,其中一些已經(jīng)被污染了。
然而,今天的情況,這少量的新鮮水,不斷被雨水取代,仍然足夠我們。但是我們對水的需求正在迅速增加——幾乎每天都有。只有我們采取措施解決這個問題,我們才能避免以后出現(xiàn)嚴(yán)重的世界性缺水問題。有限的供水將對農(nóng)業(yè)和工業(yè)產(chǎn)生不利影響。讓我給你一個小竅門,說明水對工業(yè)的重要性。你知道嗎,要生產(chǎn)一噸鋼,它需要約91升水?
我們都必須學(xué)會如何停止浪費我們寶貴的水。我們應(yīng)該采取的第一個步驟是開發(fā)重用的方法。在這個領(lǐng)域已經(jīng)做了大量的實驗,但是只有小規(guī)模的實驗。
