　　Many places in the world need more fresh(淡的) water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh.

　　Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?

　　In some places, the sun isn't hot enough, or it doesn't shine every day. In these places, other ways of heating(加热) sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling(煮沸) sea water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.

　　But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is freezing(冷冻). The fresh part of salt water freezes first. To get fresh water, the pieces of ice are taken out.

　　Which way is best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way for each place.

　　Symi's way seems very good for small, hot places. It doesn't make very much water at a time. But the factory is easy to build and cost little.

　　It isn't strictly true that one half of the world is rich and the other half is poor. It is one-third that is very rich and two-thirds that are very poor.

　　People in the rich countries don't understand the great difference between them and those in the poorer countries. A very simple example is that a dog or a cat in north America eats better than a child in the poorer countries. A fisherman in South America may be catching fish which is processed into pet food, and his own children are not getting enough to eat for their bodies to grow properly.

　　Although a lot of the world's natural resources like oil come from these poorer countries, people in the richer countries are using about sixty times as much of these resources as people in Asia or Africa. And it's the richer countries that decide what kind of prices they are ready to pay for these resources. And the prices the richer countries get for their own exports, however, are always rising. So they are getting richer and richer and the poorer countries are getting poorer.

1．________ of the world is very rich and ________ very poor.

[　　]

A．One half, the other half is

B．One-third, two-thirds are

C．One-four, three-fourths are

D．One-third, one-third is

2．In the passage, the writer says that the fish a fisher-man in South America catches may be made into -.

[　　]

A．his own pet food

B．pet food for poor countries

C．pet food for richer countries

D．the food for children's bodies to grow properly

3．A lot of the world's natural resources come from ________.

[　　]

A．richer countries in Africa

B．poorer countries in the world

C．poorer countries in South America

D．countries in Asia

[　　]

A．the richer countries
