Though water does not seem all that exciting, it is very valuable. The Ancient Greek people believed all the fresh water on the earth came from a river called Okeanos. They imagined that clouds collected rain from its magical waters. The reason they believed in this is because water is important for humans. Doctors say that without water we would die in about one week.

There are two places that our fresh water comes from. The first is surface water, which includes all the water in lakes or rivers. The second is groundwater, which refers to(涉及)all the water that comes from under the ground。

Water must be treated before it can come out of the tap(水龙头). First, anything harmful in the water must be removed. Then a cleaning agent（净化剂）is added. This will destroy any remaining germs(细菌)

There are reported of factories in China letting waste water leak into the ground. Industrial waste water is a big problem as it can pollute our drinking water. Even if the water is treated, it is for drinking.The Ministry of Environmental Protection has improved the water in China since 2014. In 2011, 76% of water was safe for drinking. But treated water should always be boiled before drinking .

Some countries have more fresh water resources(来源) and this means that it is easier for them to treat their water.

A report from a British Consulting Firm called Maplecroft found that Iceland has the best

fresh water supply in the world. That is because most of the tap water in Iceland comes from pure mountain springs. No treatment of any land is required before the Icelandic people drink their delicious water.

On Oct20, the European Space Agency( ESA )sent the spacecraft(字亩飞船) Bepi Colombo to explore Mercury. The last Mercury mission (任务) was the launch of NASA's MESSENGER Probe in 2004.

BepiColombo will reach Mercury in 2025. At that time, it will come into two orbiters(轨道飞行器)One will go into the orbit close to the planet It will try to find out what Mercury's surface is made of.

The answer is to slowly get close to Mercury. The spacecraft will fly by Earth, Verus and Mercury over seven years before finally entering Mercury’s orbit, according to the Guardian. This will help the spacecraft avoid (避免) the sun' s gravity.

Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system(太阳系) It is also the closest planet to the sun.Temperatures on the side facing the sun can reach 400 C. But on the other hand, temperatures are as low as -180 C, according to the Guardian. There are even places near the planet's poles that never see the sun.Scientists believe there might be ice in these places.

Earth's animal in Crisis

Every two years, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) publishes the Living Planet Report-a report on Earth's overall heath. The WWF released this year's report on Oct.30. It says that the numbers of animals Including mammals(哺乳动物), birds and fish have fallen by 60 percent since 1970.

This is mainly because of human activity. Climate change, habitat loss(栖息地减少), pollution and hunting are some of the biggest reasons.

Human should take this species loss seriously,Vox Media said.It can affect（影响）us in many ways.A 2017 study said 75-percent decline( 下降) in populations of flying insects over 30 years. Insects help plants produce new seeds. Without them. humans and animals won't have enough food to eat. The report also showed that the loss in species made about half of the earth's shallow water coral (浅水珊瑚) disappear little by little. The whole ocean environment would be in great danger.

All over the world, people are cutting down forests, using too much water from rivers and filling oceans with plastic. Only a quarter of the worlds total land area is not affected by human activity.

We need to find ways to meet the needs of our growing population while protecting the environment,the WWF said. The group suggested that different countries should work together to work it out.
