The world is not only hungry, it will also be thirsty for water. About 97% of water on the earth is sea water, or salty water. Man（人类） can only drink or use the other 3% of the fresh water which comes from rivers, lakes and underground.
The sea is very big. Look at the map of the world, there is more sea than land. It covers about three quarters of the earth, it looks very beautiful when the sun is shining on it. But it can be terrible when there is a strong wind.
The sea water is salty. There is one “sea” called the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is not a sea. It’s a big lake in the Jordan Valley. It’s the saltiest lake in the world. It’s near the city of Jericho. It’s about 80 kilometers long, between 4.8 and 17.7 kilometers wide. The river Jordan runs into the Dead Sea. Fish can’t live in the Dead Sea and plants can’t grow near it. People can’t swim well in the Dead Sea, but they can float （漂浮） on the water. The water is very blue and the air is clean. In winter, people come to the Dead Sea to enjoy the sunshine.

Mike and Dick work in the same office. They don’t like the cold weather. And one day they decided to take their holiday in Australia. Their plane arrived in Sydney at nine in the morning. They had a good rest in a hotel. The next morning they rented (租) a car in the city and began their travel. A few hours later, the sun was shining in the sky and there were no shade trees (遮阴树) beside the road. It was so hot that they could hardly go on driving. They had to stop to look around. Mike found a river about half a kilometer away from them. They were both very happy and drove the car quickly. Soon they got to the river. Before they jumped into the water, Dick saw a boy playing under a big tree. He asked,“Are there any sharks (鲨) in the river, boy?”“No, there aren’t,”answered the boy. So they began to swim in the river. After a while, Dick felt something hit against his leg. He told Mike about it. They were afraid and stopped swimming. Dick asked loudly,“Is it true that there aren’t any sharks in the river?”“Yes, sir,”said the boy,“There’re a lot of crocodiles (鳄鱼) in the water. All the sharks have swum away!”
