Clean water is not only important for people to produce food, but necessary for our life. However, many people in Asia and Africa don’t have enough clean water to use. The World Health Organization reports that almost 4,000 children die each day of dirty water or lack of water.
Farmers use 70%~85% of the world fresh water to produce food. People usually don’t pay much attention to how much water industry (工业) uses, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water in developed countries.
Home use takes up only 8% in the world. But as cities grow, more water will be used. The local government has to try to make people use less water.
In 60% of European cities, people are saving water by using less. They even keep waste water for other use.
In Australia, the government has encouraged people to collect rainwater and recycle water from showers for a second use.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program to encourage families and businesses to check their water use and save more water.

It is easier to go down a hill than to climb up a hill, so it is to fall into bad habit than into good ones.
Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little while people do not notice their danger. Some schoolboys first pick up bad habits in school and on the streets. When they cannot finish their lessons, they copy from their classmates. If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to learn to smoke. When they are older, the habits become so strong that they can never get rid of them. From copying, they fall behind, then learn to steal, and smoking is bad for their health. At last they become worse and worse.
How necessary it is that we get rid of the bad habits at the very beginning.
| A．quickly | B．suddenly | C．quietly and slowly | D．easily |
| A．only in class |
| B．in schools and on the streets |
| C．when they were born |
| D．at home |

| A．become too strong to get rid of | B．become smaller |
| C．run away | D．leave |
