Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(加纳), Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her
family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily(日常) cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can‟t get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然资源) on the earth.
Water covers 70% of the earth‟s surface(表面). But most of that is sea water. We can‟t use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth‟s surface. You probably feel lucky that your life isn‟t as hard as Napoga‟s. But that doesn‟t mean you don‟t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.
How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.
Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won‟t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:
●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.
●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!
●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers(沐浴) in half—and you‟ll be just as clean.
●When you wash dishes, don‟t let the water run.
●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn‟t full, you‟re wasting water!

【答案及解析】
1. 选C。从第1段中的句子She has no time to go to school可知，她根本没有去上学。故选C。
2. 选B。短文第3段中介绍了全球70%被水覆盖，但只有1%才是饮用淡水。而世界上的很多国家和地区都缺水。所以选B项，即我们的生活用水很少。
3. 选D。由第5段中的句子Dirty rain, called acid rain, is also bad for plants animals and buildings.可知，acid rain(酸雨)的危害很大。 故答案选D。
4. 选A。A选项与C选项相互矛盾，则必有一个为正确选项。而从第3点建议(advice)可知，你可以沐浴只须五分钟来节约用水，若用10分钟则是浪费水。故选A。
5. 选C。读完全文我们知道地球上的水资源有限，所以大家都要节约用水。故选C。
