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. But 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. 
But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial wastes which pour into the lake 
every day. Even where law existed, the government did 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. 
 1. One environmental problem in the world today is ________. 
 A. acid rain B. safe water shortage 
 C. industrial pollution D. population explosion 
2. Which of the following is NOT the reason that makes water undrinkable? 
 A. acid rain B. garbage C. industrial pollution D. high cost 
3. What is a serious problem of Lake Baikal in Russia? 
 A. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants. 
 B. It is polluted by massive volumes of industrial wastes discharged into it. 
 C. It has 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. 
 D. The government did not have the power to enforce laws and regulations. 
4. How many countries throw industrial wastes into the Mediterranean Sea regularly? 
 A. exactly 16 B. exactly 15 C. nearly 16 D. less than 15 
5. What is the message to the readers?
