时尚 （语法：现在进行时） 每日一文 请同学们反复地、大声地朗读这篇文章。 The world is not hungry , but it is thirsty . It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we cant drink or use for watering plants directly (直接地) . Man can only drink and use the 3% - the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we cant even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted (污染) .　　Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it . Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers . But it can be used again. Even if (即使) every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next? The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but its already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, well be in no danger of drying up. ★★★词汇拓展 请各位同学利用好词典工具，完成以下任务： 单词 音标 中文意思 nearly cover reuse scientist already expensive 知识在线 一、现在进行时要点 现在进行时：表示主语现在或当前一般时间正在进行的动作。有时，也可以表示有计划的未来。 请再观察例句，总结现在进行时态的结构 ①They are drinking juice. ②The little boy is eating an ice cream. ③I am writing a postcard. 现在进行时结构：be+动词的ing 现在进行时的时态公式根据人称、数量和现在分词变化的不同，主要有以下两方面： 1.人称的不同 第一人称单数 I+am+doing+sth 第一人称复数 We+are+doing +sth 第二人称单复数 You+are+doing +sth 第三人称单数 He（She, It）+is+doing+sth 第三人称复数 They+are+doing +sth 2.现在分词变化规则 ★一般在词尾加ing, 如：read-reading look-looking play-playing eat-eating ★以不发音的-e结尾的词先把去掉e再加-ing ，如：take-taking have-having
