Lycee Si-Tarek of Relizane Second Year Pupils Scientific Streams First Term Examination Text PART ONE : Reading.                                                                                                          15 pts Take your time watch this video first:                                           Now read the following passage carefully then do the activities below. Without water, life could not exist. Because water is essential to all life, we must manage it intelligently and carefully. We think there is plenty of it – oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. It may even seem as though we have more water than we need. Unfortunately, the reality is not the case. Water is essential to people in more ways than you might think. We need water for cooking, bathing, transportation and recreation. We eat aquatic plants and animals. We use water to irrigate our crops, and to manufacture products. Most of the water on Eath (97 percent) is salt water stored in oceans. Only about three percent of the Earth’s water is fresh water, and most of that is locked up in ice caps and glaciers. There will never be more water on Earth than there is now. The same water is simply recycled over and over again. Just think – the water we are using now is the very same water the dinosaurs used to drink millions of years ago.
