In recent years, there are more and more Confucius Institutes being built

all around the world, which shows that our Chinese culture become much more

popular than ever. As one of the four ancient civilizations, China has long

history and creates many splendid cultures. The ancient culture once had great

makes Chinese culture colorful and prosperous. If one wants to know or study

Chinese culture deeply, he or she must spend much time in it, otherwise he or

she can only get the tip of an iceberg.

Oceans becoming more acidicThe worlds oceans are slowly getting more acidic, say scientists.The researchers from California say the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters pH value is not great at the moment but could pose a serious threat to current marine life if it continues, they warn.Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of fossil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater.

Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid.Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.But these researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change."This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira."And we predicted amounts of future acidity that exceed anything we saw over the last several hundred million years, apart from perhaps after rare catastrophic events such as asteroid impacts."If carbon dioxide release continues unabated, ocean pH could be reduced by as much as 0.77 units, the authors warn.It is not absolutely clear what that means for marine life, however.

Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean lifeforms may be more sensitive to pH changes.Coral reefs and other organisms whose skeletons or shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected, the team speculate. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH.In recent years some people have suggested deliberately storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of curbing global warming.But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered."Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing - because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet; and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.

The Marine life environment is a complex system including seawater, sea water content and suspension, seabed sediment and Marine life.The abundant biological resources, mineral resources, chemical resources and power resources of the sea are the indispensable resources of human beings, which are closely related to the survival and development of human beings.

The main objective of Marine conservation is to protect Marine life resources so that they are not depleted for sustainable use.Special priority should be given to protecting Marine life that is valuable and endangered.According to the relevant departments of the investigation, due to overfishing, accidental killing of non-target to allow hunting of Marine, coastal tidal flats in the engineering construction, mangrove deforestation, widespread Marine pollution, at least 25 in the worlds most valuable fisheries resources exhausted, whales, turtles, manatees and many other Marine animals are in danger of extinction.With the expansion of Marine development, the potential for greater damage to Marine biological resources is expected.

Marine conservation of the first task to stop the excessive use of Marine biological resources, secondly we must protect Marine habitats or niches, especially their migratory, spawning, feeding, avoiding DiHai coast, beaches, estuaries, coral reefs, to prevent the heavy metals and pesticides, oil, organic matter and eutrophication of nutrients, such as pollution of the sea.To maintain the renewable capacity of Marine biological resources and the natural purification capacity of seawater, maintain the balance of Marine ecology and ensure the sustainable development and utilization of the sea.

动物与我们人类一样，有思想，有感情，也有它们自己的生活方式，更有自由权。

Animal and human, thoughts, feelings, have their own way of life, more freedom.

我们不应该去破坏他们安详和谐的生活，我们也无权去破坏他们的生活，当然，更没有理由去指责伤害他们。

We should not go to destroy their peaceful and harmonious life, we have no right to destroy their life, of course, theres no reason to blame them.

每当我们的饭桌旁摆上一道道香喷喷的菜，比如：蛇、青蛙、等动物。我们是不是应该想一想，我们每吃一种动物，就等于放走了多少对农民对庄家有害的虫。我们更是不是也应该换位思考一下，它们都在齐心协力的抓害虫，可人类不但不领情，反而把它们当做他们的食物，当作我们人类每天赚钱的东西，他们是多么可恶呀!

When we put on the table a tasty dish, such as: snake, frog, and other animal. We Shi Bushi should think, each of us to eat an animal, is tantamount to let go of the number of farmers to the harmful insects. We Shi Bushi should also think about, they all make concerted efforts to catch insects, human can not only do not appreciate, but put them as their food, as we human beings to make money every day things, how they are hateful!

如今，地球上的许多生物已经很罕见了，甚至有的已经濒临灭绝了!如果地球上没有了动物，地球将会变成什么样，人类又将会变成什么样?

Now, a lot of life on earth is very rare, and even some on the verge of extinction! If there were no animal, the earth will become what, and humans will become what?

我想，是我们人类好好反省的时候了，如果再这样下去的话，我们将会成为动物们的敌人了，更别谈什么“与狼共舞”

I think, when we reflect on the human, if this goes on, we will be the animal enemies, not to mention what "dances with wolves"

人类，快点醒醒吧!保护野生动物，现在开始，还来得及!

Man, come on come on! The protection of wild animal, now, before it is too late!

这句话说得没错，如果没有了水，地球就会干裂;如果没有了水，我们人类就可能渴死;如果没有了水，就没有了我们这个美丽的世界。我们要爱惜每一滴水，爱惜地球母亲每一滴眼泪。

我校有好多同学，一下课，就跑到水龙头跟前，把水龙头打开，然后就拿水泼别人。走的时候也不把水龙头关上，就飞快地跑。

我曾经也干过这样一件“傻”事。

每个礼拜，我和姐姐都要玩水，我们把水龙头打开，水表里的红色三角就转起来了。水龙头开得越大，红三角转的速度越快，付的水费也就越多。

一天，我和姐姐又要玩水了，姐姐一打开水龙头，水表里的红三角又转起来了。姐姐看了，自言自语道：“要是水流出来，水表不走那该有多好啊!”这句话正巧被在旁的我听见了，我想了想，就说：“姐姐，我们只要把水龙头开得小一点，水表就不会走了。”“真的吗?”姐姐惊讶的问。“不信你自己试试看。”姐姐试了试，果然，和我说的一样。姐姐又高兴又惊奇地问：“谁告诉你的?”“谁也没有告诉我。”“昨天，我洗完脸，没有把水龙头关紧。水一滴一滴地流出来，可水表一点也没走。”我神秘地对她说。“好，好，好!那我们快积水。”可是她一想，便皱起眉头，姐姐说：“这样太慢了!”“不要紧，我们只要从早上开始一直积到中午，不是就有许多水了?”她立刻迎上去说：“这叫积少成多。”说完，我俩发出低微的会心的笑声。

这个“秘密”终于被爸爸发现了。

我们争先恐后的把这个“秘密”告诉爸爸，以为爸爸会表扬我们。谁知道，爸爸语重心长地对我们说：“你们知道你们在干什么吗?这是偷水!”“啊?我和姐姐呆住了。我们都成了小偷了，这么严重呀!爸爸又说：“如果人人都像你们一样，谁给国家交水费呀!你们不是偷了国家的水吗?在说，浪费水也是不应该的!”听了爸爸这番发人深思的话，我和姐姐的脸“唰”地一下子红了。过了一会儿，我忽然昂起头，指着那盆水说：“爸爸，我们把这盆水交工吧!”“这倒不必了，以后可不能再这样做了。”爸爸严肃地对我们说。我们响亮的回答：“是!”

同学们，如果你们也是这样的话，就请赶快改正吧!

水是生命之源，我们要节约每一滴水……

As we all know,the number of Siberian tiger is becoming smaller and smaller. The appearances of Siberian tiger is terrifyingly.They are with an red-brown colour and brindle on their furs.They are mainly inhabit in forests and mountain area of the north by east in China.Their favourite food is fresh meat,especially the small animals.Their habitual behavior is to hide by day and come out at night. And we should try our best to protect them.

Recently, a large number of affairs about sexual assault were disclosed and reported by mass media. As far as I am concerned, people should get some enlightenment from these affairs, such as enhancing and strengthening education inSelf-protection awareness, especially for children and students.

最近，有很多关于的事件媒体揭露和报道。我认为人们应该从这些事件中得到一些启示，比如，提高和加强自我保护意识教育，特别是对于儿童和学生。

Children and students are hurt most in this kind of affairs. As a result, to enhance and strengthen their self-protection awareness is indispensable. In addition, to strengthen the awareness of defending danger is also important. If they can realize the potential danger from someone or something before it happens, they can make some preparations to avoid the danger and reduce the rate of being hurt.

因这类事件伤害最大的是儿童和学生。因此，提高和加强自我保护意识是必须的。此外，加强防范危险的意识也是很重要的。如果他们能在事情发生前意识到某人或某事的潜在危险，他们就可以做一些准备来以避免和减少受伤率。

Therefore, I advocate that parents should help their children develop self-protection awareness from birth, such as designing some situation for them to cope with. In addition, parents should teach their children to recognize the danger and how to avoid and reduce the danger from outside. Besides, children also need to develop an excellent ability of observation.

因此，我认为父母应该帮助他们的孩子从出生开始就培养自我保护意识，比如，设计一些情况来让他们应付。父母还应该教导孩子认识危险，如何避免和减少来自外界的危险。此外，孩子也需要培养优秀的观察能力。

In a word, to protect children needs both the effort of parents and children themselves.

总之，保护儿童需要家长和孩子他们自己的努力。

There used to be many kinds of birds which are pests for protected crops. They are good friends at present.But the number of the birds has been greatly reduced because too much poison is used. As the result, the numberof the pests has increased.The peasants spent a lot of money and time in killing them every year.But it is still hard to eliminate them.Now you can see how poor it is for us to protect wild animals and to keep the balance of nature.Only that everyone know these can we live on a beautiful lives.

曾经有许多鸟类都能够保护庄家，以防害虫的侵害。他们是农民的好朋友。但是鸟类的数量正在急剧减少，这是因为人们大量使用农药造成的。所以，害虫的数量增加了。每年，农民都会花费大量经费，以及时间来消除害虫。但是，人们还是很难将它们清除。如今，我们无法保护野生动物，并无法保持生态平衡。只有我们所有人提高意识我们才能过上幸福的生活。

Ocean refers to the protection of the marine environmental protection,including protection of marine resources and protection of the marine ecosystem.

Marine organisms,including sea water is an environmental and water-capacity solution and suspended solids,sediments and marine life,the complexity of the system.Rich in marine biological resources,mineral resources,chemical and power resources,such as human resources indispensable treasure trove of resources,human survival and development of the relationship is extremely close.

At present,the protection of the marine main objective is to protect the living marine resources,so that it will not be failure for the sustainable use of mankind.Special priority should be to protect those valuable and endangered marine life in danger.According to the survey departments of the United Nations,as a result of over-fishing,accidental killing of non-target to allow the killing marine life and coastal tidal flats of the project,the mangrove deforestation,pollution of the marine environment in general,at least 25 of the worlds most valuable fisheries resources Exhausted,whales,sea turtles,manatees and other marine animals face extinction risk.With the expected expansion of the scale of ocean development,the possibility of living marine resources caused more damage.

First of all,the protection of the marine task to put an end to the living marine resources over-exploitation,to be followed to protect marine life habitat or habitat,particularly their migration and spawning,feeding,Dihai to avoid the coast,tidal flats,estuaries,coral reefs,it is necessary to The prevention of heavy metals,pesticides,oil,organic produce and easy eutrophication of nutrients such as marine pollution.To maintain living marine resources and renewable sources of natural water purification ability to maintain the ecological balance of oceans and the sea of humanity to ensure the continued development and use.

Protect Our Environment It is important to beal with the rubbish in cities. Our world was colorful,beautiful and full of life. But these years, people have built many factories along rivers. Many trees have been cut down. Many animals have lost their homes. Factories cause pollution. Rivers become polluted. As a student, you should do every things in your everyday life to protect them. First, stop wasting more water. Second, throw waste things into different dustbins. For example, waste paper should be throw into paper recyclable bins. Third, stop cutting down trees. Instead, plant more. Fourth, pick up garbage in the park or on the road when we are free. Last, call on more and more people to pay attention to contrlling pollution. In a word, everybody has his duty to protect the world.

Our modern city is too crowded， and to solve the problem， three proposals are put forward. Most people believe that we should fist practise the policy “Late Marriage” and “One Couple， One Child” in order to reduce the birth rate. Secondly， the city government must have a tight control over rural people entering cities to engage themselves in trade or do various physical jobs so as to lessen the pressure on the city caused by the increased population. Finally more and more people suggest that living blocks with shopping centers， schools， hospitals as well as cinemas and theatres round them or even satellite towns should be built in city suburbs or the countryside round the cities. In this way city citizens will be encouraged to move there to live and work. If these three proposals are well carried out， the city population will be greatly reduced.

我们现代城市太拥挤了，要解决这个问题，提出了三点建议。大多数人认为我们应该在政策上“迟婚”和“一对一”，以降低出生率。其次，城市政府必须严格控制农村人口进入城市，从事贸易或从事各种体力劳动，减少人口增长造成的压力。最后，越来越多的人建议，居住在购物中心、学校、医院、电影院、剧院等生活街区，城市郊区或郊区的城市应该建在城市郊区或城市周边的城市。在这个方式中，城市居民将被鼓励在那里生活和工作。如果这三项建议都很好地实施，城市人口将大大减少。

[保护环境英语作文如何减少城市污染

题目：请以“saving water”为题，并根据以下提示写一篇不少于60单词的作文。

saving water

1 what do we use water for?

2 why water is very important in our daily life?

3 how do we save water?

参考范文

as we all know, water is essential in our daily life. we drink water every day, we use water to wash things and cook food, we also use water to make machines. people cant live without water.

我们都知道水对于日常生活的重要性。我们每天喝水，用水洗东西和烹制食物，我们还用水来制造机器。离开水，人类就无法存活。

though about 75% of the earth is covered with water, only 3% of it is fresh water. so we must save water by having a shower instead of a bath. we can save water by fixing dripping taps immediately and we can also save water by not washing under a running tap.

虽然地球75%都被水覆盖，但其中只有3%是淡水。所以我们应该用淋浴代替泡澡来节约水，同时及时修好滴水的水龙头，并且不要开着水龙头洗东西。

and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

我一直认为水是不会枯竭的。但是，现在，我们的生活中有时候都没有水可用了。因为水，是人类生命的源泉。没有水，人无法生存，万物不能生长，因此，节约用水必须从我做起，从小做起，也是每个人应尽的义务和职责。

例如，我们的生活中。洗衣服用的脏水还可以用来冲马桶，用洗青菜的水还可以用来拖地。水是可以循环用的。有些人，只会把洗手，洗脚的水倒掉，不知道循环用，我觉得这样太不应该了。在我们的社会上有这样一些人。他们在公共场所上用水，但他们却不把水龙头关掉。如果你一天到晚都这样开着，那会损失几吨的水啊。还有一些工厂把那些工业污染都排在小河，小溪里。使清澈见底的水比下水道里的水还要脏，还要臭。现在我们可用的水越来越少。有时候我家一连几天都没水。这给我们带来了很大的不便。其实，人类现在是慢性自杀，他们毫不痛惜地污染、浪费水资源，然而，水又是多么的宝贵呀！如果现在不好好珍惜水资源，未来的水将像油一样珍贵。所以，我们要搞好水的循环利用。所以我们要行动起来，为了创造美好的环境，我们要珍惜每一滴水。让我们从身边小事做起，从自己做起，保护有限的水资源，保护人们赖以生存的环境。

现在看来水虽是可再生资源，但人类不加以保护，总有一天水会枯竭，到时候来后悔就来不及了，我们应该以实际行动来保护好水环境。

Animals are humans good friends, we should take good care of them and protect them, but some people use them as toys and dishes...

First said the toys, many children, and even some adults, every time to buy a pet, such as cats, dogs, goldfish... At home, like toys play a trick on them, teasing, I want to say: the animal is also a life! They also have dignity! Also, to keep small animals if oversight, sometimes will make them sick, and even death.

Besides, dishes, many adults like to eat wild animals, like frogs, snakes... So, many animals are extinct! And also have a lot of harm to human body!!!! It is said that in 2003 "SARS" is caused by this! My sincere cautions: "please dont eat wild animals again!"

Also, many people especially love to eat frogs, so there are a lot of people to make money, cruel killing frogs to the vegetable market to buy... Do you in the killing of those who kill the frog, the frogs at the same time, have you ever thought, the frog is humans good friends, they can do to help farmers uncle catch insects, protect crops?

Animals are friends of human beings, to protect animals, please! To protect animals, everyone duty!

动物是人类的好朋友，我们应该爱护它们、保护他们，可有些人却把它们当成了玩具和盘中餐……

先说玩具吧，许多小朋友，甚至一些大人，每次买了宠物，像小猫、小狗、金鱼……养在家里，把他们像玩具一样捉弄、戏弄，我想说：动物也是一条生命!它们也是有尊严的!还有，养小动物如果一时疏忽，有时会把他们弄生病，甚至死亡!

再说盘中餐吧，许多大人喜欢吃野生动物，像青蛙、蛇……这样，使得许多动物都灭绝了!而且对人体也有很大的危害!据说2003年“非典”就是因为这样引起的!我诚恳的告诫大家：“请大家不要再吃野生动物了!”

还有，许多人特别爱吃青蛙，所以有许多人为了赚钱，残忍的杀害了青蛙拉到菜市场去买……请问那些杀害青蛙的人，你们在杀害青蛙的同时，有没有想过，青蛙是人类的好朋友，他们能帮农民伯伯捉害虫、保护庄稼呢?

动物是人类的朋友，请大家保护动物吧!保护动物，人人有责!

As we all know，the environmemt around us is getting worse and worse .In some places，we cant see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. But what can we do?How to protect our environmemt ?For example，we can go to school on foot or by bike . we can use shopping baskets not plastic bags when we go shopping，and we can use both sides of the paper when we write .In a word，if everyone pays more attention to our environment ，there will be less pollution and our life will be better。“There is only one earth”，I hope everyone will protect our environment well.

The earth is our home, but also our mother. Earth free supply us all kinds of resources, but we still for a little petty profit, regardless of the consequences of wanton to destroy her. As the only one earth, "the article said, we cant count on destroyed the earth moving to other planets, the earth if lost, then fell to the earths fate will eventually befall humans. So we too late, too late, to protect our earth, care for the environment, I suggest you to do the following:

1. Cherish now every mouthful of air, as far as possible to reduce the number of the factory, industrial waste gas will be less. The good news is, we see the government has put many polluting factories, rectification within a time limit or migration. We also know that every household use of coal gas has been changed to natural gas, advocating walking with less cars, this is to protect the atmosphere. We more afforestation, forest not only can breathe fresh air, also can purify the air. To stop deforestation behavior, less destruction of nature.

2. Dont abuse of various resources, such as coal, ore, wood, water... If these resources are endless, is bound to form all kinds of resources depletion, when people do not have the resources, we could not survive.

3. The water is the source of life, but it is too small. Although the surface looks large area on earth is covered by water, but with less than one over ten, an acute shortage of water in many cities, so, we should save water. At present, the school advocates our toilet cistern in home put a mineral water bottle, isnt it the measures to save water? Use to wash the dishes, the water that clean out rice water the flowers, use wash clothes water to flush the toilet, isnt it a to save water!

As long as everyone to do the above, the earth has been already saved!

地球是我们的家，同时也是我们的母亲。地球无偿的供给我们各种资源，而我们却还为了一点蝇头小利，不顾后果的肆意去破坏她。正如《只有一个地球》那篇文章所说的，我们不能再指望破坏了地球移居到别的星球上去，地球如果灭亡了，那么降临到地球上的命运终究也会降临到人类身上。所以我们亡羊补牢，为时不晚，保护我们的地球，爱护环境，我建议大家做到如下几点：

1.珍惜现在的每一口空气，把工厂的数量尽可能的减少，工业废气也会随之减少。可喜的是，我们看到政府已将许多重污染的工厂叫停，限期整改或迁移。我们还知道每家每户用的煤气已改成了天然气，倡导步行少用汽车，这都是保护大气的举措。我们还要多植树造林，森林不仅能呼出新鲜空气，还能净化空气。要制止乱砍伐森林的行为，要少破坏大自然。

2.不要滥用各种资源，如，煤、矿、木、水……如果这些资源被无止境的开采，必定会形成各种资源的枯竭，当人们没有资源时，我们就无法生存了。

3.水是生命的源泉，但是它又实在太少了。虽然表面看起来地球上大面积都被水覆盖，可是能用的却不到十分之一，许多城市严重缺水，所以，我们要节约用水。目前，学校倡导我们在家里的马桶水箱里放一个矿泉水瓶子，不正是节约用水的举措吗?用洗菜、淘米的水浇花，用洗衣服的水冲马桶，不正是为节约用水尽一份力嘛!

只要大家做到以上几点，地球就有救了!

In particular, is the giant whale mass stranding of whales is not uncommon, even in the same group of whales stranded in a few days in a row, but because it has always been hard to understand. According to the scientists speculate, as the whale to have a strong group of marine animals, and the scope of activities near the coast, so there are two possibilities: First, the leading whale sick, toward the beach, the other whales also customary to follow the whale to the Forward setting; Second, the whales chasing prey into the bank. When one or a few stranded whales, other whales will follow suit or to try to rescue, resulting in a large number of whales stranded at the same time on the same piece of the beach.

I am a student from Xinhua Middle School in Chongqing，China. Informed that you have a vacancy for a student to serve as the spokesman for animals, I cannot resist my inner excitement,hoping to seize the opportunity to do something for animals .

我是来自重庆新华中学的一名学生。得知你们有一个空缺给学生充当动物发言人，我抑制不住内心的激动，想要抓住这次机会为动物做些什么。

In my mind，nothing can delight me so much as caring for animals. Wherever I go and whatever I do, I usually keep in mind that animals are angels from the heaven, which bring us endless comfort and pleasure. I have been a panda lover since my childhood. Panda is so lovely that brings fun to people and they are regarded as the treasure of our country. Unfortunately，such a rare species is now faced with the danger of being extinct。What I am eager to do is to raise people’s awareness of animal protection and appeal to more people to care for our earth companies.

我认为，没有什么能够像关心动物一样让我快乐。不管我去到哪里，在做些什么，我会时刻牢记动物是来自天堂的天使，带给我们无尽的舒适和快乐。我从小开始就是一名熊猫爱好者。熊猫是如此可爱，给人们带来乐趣，而且它们是我国的国宝。不幸的是，这种稀有物种现在正频临灭绝的危险。我想要做的是提高人们保护环境的意识，呼吁更多的人关心我们地球的伴侣。

It is my belief that all human beings can make a difference together. I would appreciate it if my application could get your approval.

我相信，所有人团结起来就会有很大的不同。如果我的申请能够得到大家的赞成，我将不胜感激。

当你在用水时，看到从水龙头里源源不断流出来的水，你是否想过有多少个国家，有多少人，多少地区严重缺水，渴望着水，流出来的水能救活多少人!当看到别人浪费水时，你是否为浪费的水而心疼，为能用浪费的水救活的人而悲哀。你又是否想过要节约用水呢?

据了解，世上的水只有十分之三的水是淡水，而且，这些淡水大多数分布在南极、北极，水被节成了冰，所以只有很少的水才可以喝，我们却不能节约用水。中国，是世界12贫国之一，淡水资源不到世界的均量的四分之一;其中400多个城市缺水，130个城市严重缺水，每年受旱农田32亿亩，约有5000万人和3000万头畜牲面临水荒如果一个水笼头1秒钟漏掉1滴水，一小时漏掉360吨水。水的浪费是惊人的：一个关不紧的水龙头，一个月可以流掉1至6立方米水;一个漏水的马桶，一个月要流掉3至25立方米水;一个城市如果有60万个水龙头关不紧、20万个马桶漏水，一年可损失上亿立方米的水。

记得有一次，我在上公共厕所时，看见一名中年妇女带着他的儿子在洗手盆前玩水将白花花的自来水往上抛，弄得地上满是水。妇女也不理，任其玩。大概过了一两分钟，才离开。小孩离开前还要故意把水龙头打开然后得意地走了。我，来到洗手盆前，看着满地的水，不由得愤怒起来：这样浪费水，是多么可耻的行为!

如果再这样的浪费水资源，这样，持续不了多久，人类就会灭亡，世上的所有生灵将残遭灭绝，这美丽的地球将有成为一片废墟。就算有水，那也将是人类的一滴眼泪了。这是多么恐怖的事情!

看到这里，你又是否开始有了节约用水，保护水资源的冲动?其实保护水资源并不难，我们可以从身边的小事做起!洗米水可以浇花;洗手时把水龙头开小一点;洗完衣服或者是涮完拖把的水，可以在便后冲马桶;用完水后关紧水龙头……很多很多。由于水危机已经是全球性的事实。无数有识之士为此忧心忡忡。早在1977年联合国就召开水会议，向全世界发出严正警告：水不久将成为一个深刻的社会危机，继石油危机之后的下一个危机便是水。把水看成取之不尽、用之不竭的时代已经过去，把水当成宝贵资源的时代已经到来。1993年1月18日，联合国大会通过决议，将每年的3月22日定为“世界水日”，用以开展广泛的宣传教育，提高公众对开发和保护水资源的认识。每次世界水日，都有一个特定的主题，至今已度过17届世界水日。

节约用水是每个公民应尽的责任和义务，水是不可替代的宝贵资源，是人类不可缺少的!如果人类不从现在节约水源，保护环境，人类看到的最后一滴水将是自己的眼泪!所以我们要保护环境节约用水，从身边的小事做起，从一点一滴做起。让我们保护水资源，做到不浪费、不污染，还人类一个美丽的家园，还地球一个优美的环境，还所有人珍贵的水资源吧!

Saving Water

The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. For us, the systems are as important as the spacecraft.

节约用水

我们的世界不仅饥饿，而且因为缺水而干渴。对你来说这可能似乎奇怪：因为我们的地球表面75%由水覆盖着。但是，这巨大的数量中97%是海水、或咸水。只有剩下3%

的来自河流、湖泊、地下，和其他来源的淡水供人们饮用、使用。即使如此，这3%的水源我们也不能够完全使用，因为有些淡水是以冰山或冰河的形式存在。更糟糕的是，一些水源已遭受了污染。

然而，尽管按现状看来，这些少量的淡水即使时常转化成雨水的形式，对我们来说，也仍然够用。可是我们对水的需求却日益迅速增长。我们只有现在采取措施解决这一问

题才能避免未来世界范围内的严重水资源缺乏。限量供水会对农业和工业产生不良的影响。我们举个小小的事例就能证明水对工业的必要性。每生产一吨钢材就要消耗91，000升水，你知道吗?

我们必须杜绝对宝贵水资源的浪费。我们应该采取的第一步就是要发展水再利用的方法。该领域的实验已在进行，但是仅是小规模地进行。水资源再利用系统的重要性

对我们而言，与空间站不相上下。
