Part one: Read the text carefully then do the following activities: (14pts)
Three quarters of the world’s surface is water, but 99% of that is unusable to us because it is found in
oceans and glaciers. Only 1% of the Earth’s water is usable. A small portion of the water we use comes from
rivers, streams and lakes. Most of it is ground water from cracks and crevices beneath the Earth’s surface.
Around the world, drinking water is being contaminated by agricultural pesticides and fertilizers, animal
waste, mining, leaking garbage dumps, industrial and household chemicals, acid rain, sewage and oil or
chemical spills from factories. If we do not learn to care for the small percentage of the Earth’s water that is
usable, we may come to appreciate this natural treasure the hard way.
Contaminants can be found in every body of water in the world, including our tap water. The Environment
Protection Agency has found more than 700 pollutants in US drinking water.
Many cities add chlorine and up to 60 other chemicals to their water to make it “safe” for drinking.
Unfortunately, many of these chemicals have foul tastes and odors, color the water and are suspected of
causing cancer and others diseases.
Some people have decided that the solution to our water problems is to drink bottled water. Although
bottled water costs 900 times more money than tap water, US residents purchased 1.7 billion gallons of it in
1989.
While buying bottled water may be a good idea, it is far from being the solution to this problem. Many
people can’t afford it, and animals don’t even have a choice. However, we can all do much to save the clean
water we have and to keep it from becoming contaminated. Through the choices we make with our food,
energy and trash, we can help to purify the waters of the Earth.
