Read the text “Water” and do the multiple choice items below.

Water is the ‘life blood’ of our earth. It is in every living thing. It is in the air. It runs through mountains and valleys. It forms lakes and oceans. Water is everywhere.

Nature has a great water system. Rain water finds its way to streams (=ручьи) and rivers. Rivers lead to the ocean. At the mouths of the rivers, fresh water joins the salt water of the ocean. Here at the mouth of a river there is much important plant (=растение, растительный) and animal life. Pollution (загрязнение) destroys this life, however. We have to clean our streams and rivers. Man has to work with nature – not against it.
