People used to think that wetlands were wasted land. Developers would drain them with ditches(水溝),fill them in with tons of soil,and build houses,schools,and parking areas on them.Then scientists began to realize the important role wetlands played in the environment.

Wetlands act like giant sponges(海綿) during storms.They soak up extra storm water and afterward release it slowly back into the water cycle.This helps prevent flooding. Towns where people have drained wetlands have found that in a big storm,their streets and homes are often flooded because there are no wetlands to soak up the excess water.

Wetlands also act as giant filters where pollutants are absorbed and dissolved over time.Though wetlands can become polluted from dumping,wastewater,and fertilizer run?off from farm fields,they are able to process some pollutants over time because of all the microorganisms and plants living there.

Wetlands are especially important for providing homes and breeding grounds to millions of birds,fish,and amphibians worldwide. Many wetlands have become national wildlife refuges(避難所),where you can go to take pictures and look at birds and animals.

The Everglades are a huge wetland that once covered more than four million acres of southern Florida. Sometimes called the “river of grass”,the Everglades are a shallow sheet of water that slowly flowed across a grassy plain. In the late 1800s people began draining parts of the Everglades for development. Roads were built and towns sprang up.The Everglades shrank to half its original size. Cities like Miami grew up where once there was a thriving wetland. Sewage and waste from the cities were pumped into the remaining wetlands. Over time scientists began to see the importance of the Everglades. Even with its smaller size,the Everglades filtered the pollutants coming from the cities,absorbing the worst of it like a sewage treatment plant. During storms the Everglades protected the cities from storm surge flooding. They also are just a great place to visit and see wildlife.

1.The first paragraph is intended to tell us________.

A.wasted land used to be wetlands

B.people didn’t know the importance of wetlands before

C.wetlands used to be left undisturbed

D.wetlands can be used for building

2.Why can wetlands be compared to giant sponges?

A.They absorb extra water from storms.

B.They become large or small in size.

C.They absorb pollutants and dissolve them.

D.They are made of soft soil.

3.As for the importance of wetlands,how many aspects are mentioned in the passage?

A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.

4.The example of the Everglades is given in the last paragraph to show________.

A.the threat to wetlands

B.the protection of wetlands

C.the development of wetlands

D.the importance of wetlands

5.We can infer from the passage that________.

A.some wetlands can be used to build cities or towns

B.wetlands in the world are disappearing fast

C.wetlands play an important role in the ecosystem

D.wetlands are especially important to wildlife

Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is the amount of water they have been told all their life. But a recent report offers some different advice. Experts suggest people should obey their bodies: they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking.

The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, which provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public. The report contains some general suggestions. It says women should get about 2.7 liters of water daily and men about 3.7 liters. But wait–in each case, that is more than eight glasses.

There is one important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods.

As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need twice as much water as others do.

All this, however, does not answer one question. No one seems sure why people have the idea that good health requires eight glasses of water daily. It may have started with a misunderstanding.
