But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or 38 water. Man can only drink and use the 39 3%--- the fresh water from 40 , lakes, underground and other sources. And we cannot even use 41 of that, because some of it is in the
42 of icebergs and glaciers(冰川). Even worse , some of it has been 43 .
However, 44 things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is
45 enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly--- almost day46 day. Only if we take steps to 47 with this 48 now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage 49 on.
We all have to learn how to stop 50 our valuable water. One of the first
51 is to develop ways of reusing it.
Today in most cities, water is used only 52 and then sent out into a sewage system(下水道). From there it returns to the sea 53 runs into underground storage tanks(箱). But it is possible to pipe 54 water to a purifying plant(工厂). There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it 55 fresh from a spring(泉水).

There were some people in the southern part of Greece called Spartans, who were famous for their simple habits and their bravery(勇敢). The name of the area in which they lived was Laconia, and so they were also called Lacons.
One of the strange rules which the Lacons had was that they should speak briefly, and never use more words than needed. And so a short answer is often spoken of as a Loconic answer.
There was in the northern part of Greece a land called Macedon, and this land was at one time ruled over by a warlike king named Philip.
Philip wanted to become the master of all Greece. So he raised a great army, and made war upon the other states, until nearly all of them were forced to call him their king. Then he sent a letter to the Spartans in Laconia, saying, “If I go down into your country, I will level your great city to the ground.” In a few days, an answer was brought back to him.

Since telegrams(电报) are paid by the words, every word costs money, and people always try to use as few words as possible. Little words like “a”, “an” and “the” disappear, so do all the auxiliary verbs that English students hate: do, does, are is… So a news reporter who wanted to know how old the film star Cary Grant was, sent a telegram saying,” How old Cary Grant?”
Unfortunately, although the “little words” have gone, nobody knows exactly where they have gone from. So the reporter received a reply from Cary Grant which said, “ Old Cary Grant fine. How you?”

For hundreds of years, the only means of distance communication was through newspaper, books and letters. People who live in remote areas sometimes has to wait for days and even weeks before they found out what was happening in the outside world.
The first steps towards a faster means of communication was made in 1838 with the invention of telegraph. The major problem was that it was not possible to send human voice by this system. An artificial language called “Morse Code” was developed. With the introduction of the telephone in 1876, however, people could talk to each other over long distances using the human voice.
The development of the telegraph and the telephone helped to keep people to date with what was happening in the world. The problem of both systems was that all messages had to go through wires. Wires(电缆，电线) are expensive to lay , and easily broken. The problem is worse when wires are laid under the sea. The telephone wire between Australia and Canada is 9,000 miles long (14,480km), and most of it is under the sea. When underwater wires are broken, perhaps by large fish or by movements in the earth, it is difficult to find the break, and expensive to repair it.
Current research in telephone communications is so extensive and changes are coming about rapidly that no one can describe exactly what the telephone of tomorrow will look like. But people believe there will be more and more telephones in the future, and they will be better ones.
73. Hundreds of years ago, it took days and even weeks _______.
A. to receive message B. to get things
C. to arrive D. to wait
74. It was impossible to send voice by ______.
A. mobile phone B. wireless phone
C. radio D. telegraph
75. The word “extensive” in the last paragraph means________.
A. 昂贵的 B.便宜的
C. 广泛的 D. 方便的
