    　　Snowflakes(雪花)seem like white stars falling from the sky．But they don't always look white．Sometimes they appear to have other colors．Some are red, yellow, or black．There have been snowflakes of almost every shape．Think how it would seem to have these coining all around you．Wouldn't they look pretty?

    　　Black snow came down in France one year．Another year gray snow fell in Japan．It was found that such snow was mixed with ashes．This made it seem dark．Red snow has come down in other countries．When this happened．it was mixed with red dust．That is why it looked different．Most snow looks white, but it is really the color of ice。It is ice that comes from snow clouds．Each snowflake begins with a small drop of water．More water forms around this drop．The way the water freezes gives the snowflake its shape．

    　　No two snowflakes are of ever just the same size or shape．All start out flat and have six sides．Some snowflakes are broken when they hit the ground．Others melt(融化)as they fall．When air is cold and dry, the falling snowflakes are small and hard．If the air is wet and warm, the snowflakes are big and soft．

    　　Would you be surprised to see snowflakes as big as your head falling from the sky? It happened once in our country．It could happen again．

    　　After being rescued, one of the survivors told doctors he wanted to call his family．“I have two daughters and a son．I have to work in the mine to earn money for them,”said another 45-year-old survivor who was taken to the Shanxi Aluminium Plant Hospital, which admitted(接纳)35 survivors from the mine．The hospital is among five local ones treating the workers．

    　　If you want to find a conversation topic in India, talk about families．Another useful subject to start with is cricket(板球)．But once you get to know a person better, any topic is acceptable．Indians love to talk about politics and religion．They enjoy heated discussions．Conversation is an art form and people take the time to really talk．

    　　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 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 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 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!

    (1)
