The world is not only hungry, it will also be thirsty for water. About 97% of water on the earth is sea water, or salty (咸的) water. Man can only use the other 3% of the fresh water (淡水) which comes from rivers, lakes and underground.

The sea is very big. Look at the map of the world, there is more sea than land. It covers (覆盖) quarters of the earth, it looks very beautiful when the sun is shining on it. But it can be terrible when there is a strong wind.

Some parts of the sea are very deep. There is one place near Japan. It’s nearly 11 kilometers high. If we put that mountain into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometers of water above it!

The sea is salty. There is one “sea” called the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is not a sea. It’s a big lake in the Jordan Valley. It’s the saltiest. It’s near the city of Jericho. It’s about 80 kilometers long, between 4.8 and 17.7 kilometers wide. The river Jordan runs into the Dead Sea. The sun is not there and the water is salty. Fish can’t live in the Dead Sea and plants can’t grow near it. People can’t swim well in the Dead Sea, but they can float (漂浮) on the water. The water is very blue and the air is clean. In winter people come to the Dead Sea to enjoy the sunshine.

16. Does the fresh water come from rivers, lakes and underground?

A．Yes, it does.

B．No, it doesn’t.

C．Yes, it doesn’t.

D．No, it does.

My friend Peter was kind and lovely. But as a student, he was bad at maths, English and science because he didn't have an aptitude (资质) for that kind of study.

One day we were playing football and the bail got stuck in a tree. Peter climbed the tree to get it, and one of the teachers, John Marston who was looking out of the window, noticed that he was a talented climber.

Mr Marston was an expert (专家) in climbing. He had climbed many mountains.

One weekend Mr Marston invited Peter to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Peter really enjoyed the climbing. Mr Marston told Peter he was a very talented climber for his age. Peter left school three years later with no qualifications (毕业证), but he kept climbing regularly until he became very good at it. In his early twenties, he became a professional climber.
