The world is not only hungry，but it is also thirsty for water.This may seem strange to you，since nearlv 75% of the earth’S surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is seawater， 5 1 salt water.Man can only drink and use the other 3%of the flesh water that comes from rivers，lakes，underground，and other 52 .And we cannot even use aU of that，because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers.Even worse，some of it has been polluted.

However，as things stand today，this small amount of flesh water， 53 is constantly being replaced by rainfall，is still enough for US.But our need 54 water is increasing rapidly--almost day by day.Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now 55 a severe worldwide water shortage later on.A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry.Let me give you just one small example of 56 necessary water is to industry.Do you know that 57 a single ton of steel，it takes about 91，000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop 58 0ur precious water.One of the first steps we should take 59 to develop ways of reusing it.Experiments have already been done in this field，but only on a small scale.The systems that have been worked out resemble 60 used in spacecraft.

Need A Master Degree or Not

Nowadays, most people want to enter graduate school. In fact, this desire has grown considerably in the past few years. Students struggle to pass the graduate school entrance exam, to survive the pro-gram, and find a job at the end of it. They read many exam preparation books. They may also attend special "exam preparation" seminars and courses. There are some reasons for such phenomenon.

First is the general perception that a graduate school diploma, a master' s degree, is needed for getting a better job. Second is that some students might not be sure what they want to do, and a few more years inside the courtyards of academic seems desirable.

In my opinion, this is not reasonable. I don' t deny that a few passed and went on, but the majority failed and finally wiped away their valuable times. So we don' t have to study for the mas-ter degree. Never forget the old saying: every road leads to Rome!
