　　Preserving Natural Resources

　　Thrdugh the changes'in the ways Of making a living in a family over several gen，erations， man has been warned against waste of natural resources and emphasizing the urgent need to preserve these resources.

　　Ever since man appeared on the earth， man's survival has been heavily relied on nature. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes fromm'notate， ranging from the food we eat， the water we drink， to the wood which is tm'ned into furniture.With the development of technology and population growth， the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate.However， natural resources are not inexhaustible. Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is an example in point.

It is up to us to take effective measures before the situation gets out of hand.

　　保護自然資源

　　經過幾代人謀生方式的變化，人類已經得到警告，要反對浪費自然資源，急需保護這些資源。

　　自從人類在地球上出現以來，人類的生存就一直依賴自然。我們日常生活所用的一切，從喫的東西、喝的水到做家具的木材，幾乎都來自自然。隨著科學技術的發展以及人口的增長，所用物品的數量和範圍以令人擔憂的速度在增長。然而，自然資源竝不是無窮無盡的。一些儲量已經到了窮盡的邊緣，而且沒有希望替換它們。分佈廣泛的水的缺乏就是一個例子。如果人類不爲將來著想繼續浪費自然資源，後代就會受到威脇。我們應該採取有傚措施，防止形勢惡化。
