Dirty water can be dangerous to drink and can make people ill. It can damage(破坏)the environment, animals and fish. Here are some causes of the dirty water.
Sewage(污水)is a big part of dirty water. In many places, untreated sewage goes straight into rivers, lakes or seas. Too much sewage kills fish and other water life. It can make the water unsafe to drink, wash or swim.
Oil is an important source of energy, but it can also cause pollution. If a truck or ship leaks(泄露)while transporting oil, plants and animals can die. For example, birds get covered in oil and they are unable to fly, and their feathers no longer protect them from the cold.
Factories often run waste liquid into rivers. This may contain dangerous chemicals, which could do harm to plants, animals and humans. Some factories would filter the waste before it goes into rivers. This helps to keep the environment cleaner.
Smoke and the gases from factories and cars mixed with water vapor(蒸汽)in the air can cause pollution. When the water vapor falls to the ground as rain, the chemicals in smoke and gases are mixed with the rain. This is called acid rain(酸雨), it can kill plants and animals.
As we all know, water is an important part of human life. And the water resources are limited on our earth. We should take action to save water and protect the valuable water resources in our daily life. At the same time, we can also encourage more people to join us.
1.Why do we need to treat the sewage before it comes into the river
A.Because it looks dirty.
B.Because it would cause damage to water life.
C.Because it would kill some animals, like fish and pigs.

2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.Oil makes plants and animals die.
B.Oil is an important source of energy.
C.Oil can be leaked during transportation.
D.Oil is an important cause of pollution.
3.What does the underlined word “filter” in Paragraph 4 mean

4.How do the smoke and gases influence the environment

May 12th—International Nurses Day is an important date to all nurses. The tireless efforts of nurses all over the world are celebrated every year on May 12th, because it is the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, who is widely considered the founder of modern nursing.
Nurses are appreciated in many different ways on International Nurses Day, also called IND.People are encouraged to take time to thank a nurse who has been there for them or their loved ones during days of sickness. Do you know the history of International Nurses Day
It all began in 1953, when Dorothy Sutherland, an official with the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, asked President Dwight D.Eisenhower to proclaim (宣布) a Nurses Day. However, he did not do so at that time. The International Council of Nurses has celebrated on May 12th since 1965. In January 1974, this day was finally officially made International Nurses Day.
Because this day is all about celebrating nurses’ endless contributions (贡献) to society, taking this opportunity to show a nurse who has taken care of you how much you appreciate him or her is very meaningful on this day. If you are feeling especially grateful for the way a certain nurse took care of you (fed you, brought you a blanket, monitored your vital signs, made sure you were getting the right pills, changed your wound dressings, helped you get to the bathroom, let you cry on his or her shoulder, or any of the hundreds of other things nurses do), May 12th is the day to show that gratitude. So take a trip down to the hospital with a box of chocolates, a bouquet of flowers, or anything else you think that particular nurse might like.
Some people, after having spent months in the hospital with a serious condition, decide to order pizza or cake for the entire medical team that was looking after them, a gesture that team is guaranteed (肯定的) to remember you for forever, if you should decide on it. However, as mentioned before, it’s the thought that counts the most. A nurse’s main goal is to help you get through treatment and get better, so just knowing he or she succeeded is a reward in itself.
