This view highlighted the link between water and jobs, this year’s focus for World Water Day. World Water Day is an opportunity for everyone to learn more about water-related issues, be inspired to tell others and take action to make a difference. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in his message that water is of the greatest importance to human survival, the environment and the economy. However, even with its importance, he noted, water as an issue does not generally receive the attention as it should. Mr. Ban pointed out that people who have the least access to water often also lack access to health care and stable jobs, which causes poverty to continue. He called for action to deal with water inequality between men and women, cities and countryside, and the rich and the poor, as parts of effort to realize the 2030 plan for sustainable development. 193 UN member states have adopted the 2030 plan since last September. 2. What problem did the UN Secretary-General ask the member states to deal with? A、The wealth gap. B、Poor health care. C、Slow economic development. D、Unequal water resources.

The study uses detailed computer modeling to predict various probabilities involving water availability and use in the future. In the paper, the scientists conclude there is a high risk of severe water stress in much of Asia that is home to roughly half the world’s population. While climate change is expected to have serious effects on the water supply in many parts of the world, the study puts emphasis on how much industrial expansion and population growth may make water-access problems worse. "It’s not just a climate change issue," says co-author Adam Schlosser. "We simply cannot ignore that economic and population growth in society can have a very strong influence on our demand for resources and how we manage them. And climate, moreover, can help to increase those stresses considerably." 3. What is the news report mainly about? A、A study of Asia’s water problems and their causes. B、MIT’s new solutions to increasing water supply. C、Scientists’ prediction of climate change in Asia. D、The future of the world’s industrial development.
