A. Dams hold water to irrigate (灌溉) fields and make power.

B. The source (源头) of the Yellow River is drying up because of it.

C. It used to carry 32 billion m³ of water a year.

D. How does it happen?

E. Its source on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (青藏高原) is drying up.

March 22nd is World Water Day every year. According to a report from the United Nations in 2006, more than half of the world’s major rivers have serious water loss and are polluted.

The Yellow River, the world’s fifth longest river, watered some of the oldest farms on earth. But now it has a serious problem.   1   In most of the past 35 years, it didn’t reach the sea.

The Nile in Egypt, running 6, 650 kms, is the longest river in the world.  2   Now it is down to 2 billion m³ or so. Australia’s Murray River reaches the sea only every other year.  One fifth of America’s Rio Grande has no water, either.

  3 

Mostly, it’s damming (筑坝) and global warming that make rivers dry.   4  Now about 45, 000 of them lie across the world’s rivers. They hold back around 15% of the world’s fresh water from running to the sea.

Global warming is making things worse. Warmer weather takes water away. The glaciers (冰川) are becoming smaller.  5   Global warming has had certain effects on water sources. Droughts (干旱) happening around the world make people pay more attention to this fact.

Last Friday after I got my pay, I went shopping on my way home. In the crowded supermarket, I lost my purse and my money was gone with it. I felt very angry and sad. We were not rich and the money was important for us. How could I tell my wife about it?

I felt really sorry for losing the money. When I got home, I cleaned the house and prepared a nice meal. I hoped what I did could comfort(安慰) my wife. When she came back, she was surprised to see the clean house and the nice meal. Then I began to tell my story when we were at table, but my wife didn't respond (反映) as if she had not heard my words. Maybe she was trying hard to hide her anger, I thought.

“I've lost my pay." I said to her again.

“I see.” She didn't seem to be angry with me. For a moment, she said nothing but enjoyed the meal with me.

“I've lost my money," I could not help asking, “why don't you blame (责备) me?"

“Oh, my dear," she raised her eyes, looked at me and said, "I'm thinking about how to comfort you. It's the thief who is to be blamed!"
