Dirty water can be dangerous to drink and can make people ill.It can damage(破坏) the environment and animals.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 gases from factories and cars mixed with water vapour(蒸气) in the air can cause pollution.When the water vapour 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.So we can never attach too much importance to protecting water resources.We should also 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.

A.回答问题
In the past five years,about 2.8 billion school textbooks were sold every year,with total spending of 20 billion yuan,news magazine Outlook Weekly reported.
Zhao Dehua,a businessman in Guangdong,owns a large factory dealing with things that can be reused.He said many college students sold the textbooks they had used for four years at a price of 1 yuan per kilogram.As these textbooks are mostly used to produce reused paper,the cost is even higher than that of newspaper.
At present,free textbooks on music,art and science for the nine-year education from primary school to middle school have been reused.But there isn’t a good plan for the second-hand textbook trade,so most of the textbooks end up as waste.
“Every year,second-hand booksellers collect textbooks at a price of about 4,000 yuan a ton.It is more than twice the price of usual waste paper.But the number of people who come to collect second-hand books is still small,” Zhao Dehua said.
“Setting up the way of textbook reuse is good for the environment.Besides,it also helps to develop students’ saving habits and sense of environmental protection,” said Zhu Pin,head of a school in Jiangxi Province.Up to now,the school has set up a way for reusing the textbooks and it can save a lot of money every year in the next five years.
1.What does Zhao Dehua’s factory do
It deals with things that can be reused.
2.How much did the college students sell the textbooks
At a price of 1 yuan per kilogram.
3.Why do most of the textbooks end up as waste
Because there isn’t a good plan for the second-hand textbook trade.
4.Is the number of people who collect second-hand books small or large
It’s small.
5.Who is Zhu Pin
Head of a school in Jiangxi Province.

参考范文
Hello,everyone.My name is Li Hua.It’s really my great honor to stand here and give a short speech.I’m here today to talk about something we use a lot every day—paper.
Paper plays an important part in our daily life.As students,how should we avoid wasting paper First of all,we can use both sides of every piece of paper,especially when we’re taking notes.Secondly,we can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packing.Thirdly,we can also use cotton handkerchiefs and not use the paper ones.When we see people around us wasting paper,we are supposed to stop such bad behavior and tell them the importance of saving paper.
All in all,saving paper is good for the environment.Let’s take action and do our part in environmental protection.
