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. However, acid rain, industrial pollution 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 industrial effluent which pour into the
lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the government do not have the power to enforce
them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the
world's water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16
countries regularly throw 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 scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do
something now.

A. laws B. the government C. animals D. plants
31: How many countries throw industrial wastes into the Mediterranean Sea regularly
A. nearly 16 B. exactly 16 C. over 16 D. more than 16

During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to .They often
