Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more and more and more
people in the world. Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water. We
live in a world of water. But almost all of it – about 97% - is in the oceans. This water is too salty to be
used for drinking, farming, and manufacturing. Only about 3 % of the world’s water is fresh. Most of
this water is not easily available to man because it is locked in glaciers and icecaps.
There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be. Most of the water we use
finds its way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the earth as rain.
Water is used and reused over again. It is never used up. Although the world as a whole has plenty of
fresh water, some regions are always too dry, and others too wet. A region that usually gets enough rain
may suddenly have a serious dry spell and another region may be flooded with too much rain.
