Exercise 3: Read the passages below and choose the correct answer ( A or B ,
C, D) Man and most animals need a constant supply of water to live . Farmers need
water for their crops. Hydroelectric dams hold back needed water and provide power for
homes and industries . Trees and grass , and other plant life play an important part
in the natural circulation of water , and thus help conserve it . Without plants most of
water would run off as soon as it falls , taking away valuable soil . Rapid runoff would
cause frequent floods , and leave little water during dry seasons . Nature
has many ways of conserving and controlling water . But man often upsets the water
balance in his desire to grow more crops . He drains ponds , swamps , and wt lands . He
plows under the natural soil , cut timber and dredges and strengthens streams .These
changes reduce natural storage of water and speed runoff . Water can be held on
the land by planting vegetation . Forests and grass should be planted where there are no
natural growths . Dams built across rivers help hold back the water . Reservoirs ( hå
chøa nh©n t¹o ) behind the dams store water during wet seasons for use in dry seasons .
Dams help prevent floods by controlling the flow of water .
