“I THIRST”Each day water

题文

“I THIRST” Each day water-related dias kill 3,900 of the world’s children.Across the world, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. More than 2.6 billion people lack basic sanitation (卫生设备). The combination proves deadly. Each year, dias related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 5 million people and cau an estimated 80 percent of all sickness in the developing world. Safe drinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and women, and poverty.Consider the facts:* The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometres.* only 58 percent of children in sub-Sharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.* Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne dias.Here are three ways you can help:1) Write CongressCurrent U.S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen. Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad.2) Sponsor a project with a faith-bad organizationMany U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations can make safe water a reality for thousands of people.3) Support nonprofit water organizationsNumerous U.S. bad nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community led projects related to drinking water and sanitation. Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows, some organizations are large, others small-scale, some operate world-wide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, Latin America. Support them generously.小题1:The three facts prented in the passage are ud to illustrate that ______.A．poverty can result in water-borne diasB．people have no access to clean drinking waterC．women’s rights are denied in some developing countriesD．safe drinking water should be a primary concern小题2:The intended readers of the passage are _______.A．AmericansB．overas sponsorsC．CongressmenD．U.S. bad water organizations小题3:The main purpo of the passage is to call on people to ______.A．get rid of water-related dias in developing countriesB．donate money to people short of water through religious groupsC．fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problemD．take joint action in support of some nonprofit water organizations 题型：未知难度：其他题型
