文章缩写：用来解决水污染问题
巩固练习
一、缩写文章（可以直接用在水污染作文里）
答案：
China endures choking smog, mass destruction of habitats and food poisoned with heavy metals. This is not exaggeration.
The water pollutionhides an even more alarming fact. China is using up water at an unsustainable rate, which is polluting what little water it has left. For example, the Yellow River is often called the cradle ofChinese civilization, but the water available for use is atrocious. As a result, water shortages imperil plans to expand energy production, threatening economic growth.
The best answer would be to improve the efficiency with which water is used. However, rather than making sensible and eminently doable reforms in pricing and water conservation, some places is focusing on increasing supplies and focus on giant engineering projects. It only makes mattersworse, causing us to hit the limits of our water resources.
