     It may be strange that three fourths of the world is covered with water, but we still don’t have enough
flesh, clean and safe drinking water. Most of the earth’s water is salt water of the seas. Less than 3％of
the water in the world is flesh. 68. 7％of flesh water is in the form of ice in the polar areas, and much fresh water is polluted and dangerous to use. Polluted water usually causes death among children under five in
the poor countries.
     In some countries, women and children spend much of their time going out to collect water. They often walk many kilometers each day to get just enough water for their families to cook, wash and drink. And
they can’t carry back much because they have to walk over rough(坑洼的)fields and carry a heavy bucket(桶).
    Children have to help their mothers carry water, so they may not be able to go to school, or they may
be so tired when they get there that they have difficulty studying. They may even have to spend the whole
day without drinking any water as there may not be any clean water at school, either.
     A large part of UNICEF’s work is bringing safe water to people in need of it. Last year, UNICEF built up almost 90, 000 water systems(系统)for 20 million people. It just wants to help more people keep alive. A well(井)may mean the difference between life and death.

1. Which may not be the reason for not having enough fresh water?
A. Most of the fresh water is polluted.
B. Much of the fresh water is in the form of ice.
C. Most of the water is salty.
D. There are too many people on the earth.
2. The writer wants to tell us_______ through the second and third paragraphs.
A. water can spread diseases
B. there would be no life without water
C. water is Important
D. it is hard for some people to get water
3. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. About 70％of the earth is covered with water.
B. In some countries people have to go a long way to get water.
C. If children aren’t able to get water home, they can, t go to school.
D. UNICEF is trying its best to help people in need of water.
4. The last sentence means that_______.
A. death is different from life

　　A senior United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) official on May 29 praised China for its remarkable achievements in children's welfare(福利). A. H. M. Farook, UNICEF's operations area officer for China and Mongolia said that China“ can be very satisfied to tell the whole world what can be done with limited resources to help its children to grow healthily and happily.” China's child population makes up one-fifth of the world's total. “The reason behind the tremendous (巨大的) achievement is China's long tradition of caring for children both at home and in, society,” he said. “What's more is that Chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need.”

　　The UN official made the remarks when addressing a group of 50 children and staff from the Beijing Children's Welfare Home at the Shangrila Hotel, Beijing.

　　The hotel invited the orphans to share snacks(小吃), sing, dance and play games at a park inside the hotel for a “Share The Sunshine” party, as a prelude (前奏) to celebrations to mark the Children's Day.

　　The Beijing Children's Welfare Home, set up soon after New China was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children.

　　A leading official of the welfare institution said that the children live a happy life and that the agency (机构) spends 400 ~ 500 yuan a month for an average orphan. An average Chinese workers earned 440 yuan a month during the first quarter this year.

　　Gu Xiaojin, deputy secretary-general of the China Youth Development Foundation (CYDF), said people from all walks of life have contributed to the welfare of the Chinese children.

　　She said that CYDF set up the Project Hope in 1989, which calls on people across the country to donate money to help poor children to continue their schooling.

　　By the end of last year, she said, CYDF had collected nearly 700 millions yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment (建立) of 2 074 Hope primary schools and enabled more than 1.25 millions dropouts to return to school classrooms.

　　Three “Hope Stars” also attended the party.
