AVERAGE RESOURCES
620 m3 water
If we put fresh water and sea water together, we can each have 620 m3 water. But remember, sea water is too salty for us to drink if the factories don’t process it first. So, 620 m3 is little. Saving water in daily use is important.
0.5 hectares of forests
There are 3.869 billion hectares(公頃) of forests on Earth. But we are losing them mainly because we cut trees too much. If we calculate（計(jì)算）at the size of a football field, we are losing 343,000 football fields every day, or 1,431 per hour, or 24 per minute!
1.5 centimeters long corals(珊瑚)
All the corals that we have now spread for about 100,000 km in 109 countries. But each of us can only have such a little piece, because seas are getting polluted and corals are dying.
33 stars
According to the latest report, there are 200 billion stars in the Milky Way. Each of us can have 33 of them. Unfortunately, we cannot see most of the 200 billion stars from Earth. We can only see about 6,000 stars. If we don’t use telescopes or we have bad weathers, we can only see about 2,000 stars.
90kg rice
On average, we harvest 0.54 billion tons of rice each year round the world and each of us can have 90 kg. Asia produces and eats 90% of all the rice. How long will it take you to eat up this 90 kg rice?
1 iceberg
Luckily, we still have icebergs to share when Earth gets warmer and warmer. Each of us can have an iceberg of 170m×170m×170m. Up to 10% of Earth surface is covered by ice. There is 31,000,000km3 of ice on Earth in all.
小題1:On average we each probably have ________ fresh water in the world.
A．over 620m3B．more than 620m3C．far less than 620m3D．only 620m3
小題2:We are losing the forests on Earth mainly because of________.
A．the man-made damageB．the climate change
C．the construction of many football fieldsD．the environmental pollution
小題3:When we don’t use telescopes or the weather is bad, we can see ________ stars from Earth.
A．a(chǎn)ll the stars B．a(chǎn)bout 2,000C．a(chǎn)bout 200 billionD．a(chǎn)bout 6,000
小題4:According to the table above, we each can only have _____ because of pollution.
A．less water B．fewer icebergs C．fewer corals D．less rice

小題1:C
小題2:A
小題3:B
小題4:C

小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題。第一格sea water is too salty for us to drink if the factories don’t process it first. So, 620 m3 is little. 可知我們實(shí)際可用的淡水非常少。

Bicycle Safety
Operation  Always ride your bike in a safe, controlled manner on campus(校園). Obey rules and regulations. Watch out for walkers and other bicyclists, and always use your lights in dark conditions.
Theft Prevention  Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack---even if you are only away for a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It’s fast, easy, and free. Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen.

Brakes  Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.
Helmet  A necessity, make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fit properly.
Lights  Always have a front headlight---visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike. A taillight is a good idea.

Bicycle Parking  Only park in areas reserved for bikes. Trees, handrails, hallways, and sign posts are not for bicycle parking, and parking in such posts can result in a fine.
