One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right but acid rain, industrial pollutants and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of toxic effluents which pour into the lake every day.

Even where laws exist, the government does not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s surface water but it contains 50% of all marine pollution. However, 16 countries regularly dump industrial wastes a few miles off shore.

Water is free to everyone. A few years ago, people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now so scarce that we are beginning to respect this precious resource. However, we should do something to save it right now or some day we will have no more clean water for daily use.

        Animals share the Earth with us. They fascinate us with their beauty, their grace, and their speed. We love observing their behavior, and learning more about their habits. But just loving them is not enough. All of these animals are endangered. Many of them have died, and without special care, they may someday disappear from the Earth. Each species of animals is special. Once it is gone, it is gone forever.

          The elephant seems to represent all that is strong and wild in Africa. It once had no natural enemies, but is now endangered - killed for its ivory tusks. Grizzly bears like to wander great distances. Today, because forests have been cleared to make room for people, the grizzly's habitat is shrinking and the grizzly is disappearing. The giant panda of Asia is a fascinating and unique animal. Yet there are only about 1,000 still living in the wild. Ocean - dwelling animals are in danger of extinction as well. Beautiful birds like the great green macaw are also reducing greatly in number.

           Unfortunately, it is people who cause many of the problems that animals face. We alter and pollute their habitats. We hunt them for skins, tusks, furs, and horns. We destroy animals that get in the way of farming or building. And we remove them from their natural habitats and take them home as pets.

         The world is made up of many living things, and each thing is dependent on the others to survive. If we allow even one species on Earth to become extinct, it has an impact on other living things and changes our world. When we mention any endangered wild animals, let's hope that we never again have to say, "Gone forever".

A. an animal's natural environment   B. a bear's thick wool coat      C. a bear's enemy    D. an animal's vision

B. Beautiful birds like the great green macaw are also becoming extinct.

C. Wherever people are careless about the land, there are endangered species.

D. The elephant seems to represent all that is strong and wild in Africa.

4. What will happen to some animal species if current trends continue?

A. Their numbers will increase   B. There will be no significant change

C. They will become extinct D. They will move to other habitats.
