 Years ago, people (66).......buy what they needed from stories and markets.

B. THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER
 More than two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Water is essential to life. Neither plants nor animals can live without it.
 Although we are surrounded by water, only less than three per cent of this water is fresh water, which is important to us. We need fresh water to irrigate our crops, and plants and animals need it to survive.
 Water has become one of the most important sources of energy. In the olden days, we used steam to move engines of ships and trains. Then we discovered hydro-electricity. This meant that there was no need to burn fuel to produce electricity. Fast-running water turned the turbo engine and this in turn produced energy like electricity. There was less pollution in the process. Later, we built dams along rivers to ensure that there was fast-running water and we also made use of tidal waves.
 Sad to say, man has polluted the water which he needs. For years, we have been polluting our water. We use water to flush our waste and we use rivers as sewers to carry our wastes away. We dump rubbish into the lakes and oceans, thinking that it will be safe. Not only that, many industries have dumped unwanted chemicals and toxic substances into the sea. This is because it is cheaper than recycling.
 Old slicks are another major problem. The oil does not degenerate but floats on the surface and prevents oxygen from entering the sea. Thousands of aquatic animals and birds have died because of this.
 We must protect the water from further pollution or we will be the ones to suffer for our ignorance.
76. About.......of the earth's surface is approximately made up of land.
A. one whole 	B. two-thirds 	C one-third 	D. half
77. Water is precious though it is in abundance because........
A. water can only be used once	B. it is salt water and not fresh water that is in abundance 
C. water is very hard to produced	D. water turns bad easily
78. Besides enabling our survival, water can also be used........
A. to produce electricity 	B. as a sewage system
C. to wash waste materials 	D. as a dumping ground 
79. In the passage, "toxic" means....... .
A. harmless 	B. healthy 	C. poisonous 	D. suffocating
80. People treat the ocean as a dumping ground........
A. so that the refuse will dissolve in the ocean	B. because the ocean is vast and has ňo other uses
C. so that the fish can eat the refuse	D. so as to cut costs
