　　Queensland has recently started to carry out a water recycling policy．Queenslanders will be drinking recycled water as well as using it for other purposes．They were quickly followed by South Australia, where the government changed their former anti-recycling policies．

　　So what is Victorian Government doing? It's bringing Victorians “good news” that they won't have to drink recycled water．Great…We actually have a government that is DUMBER than SA and QLD ones…Good news indeed．Now every Melbournian knows－we are smarter and better than the Queensland folks．Then why are we run by fools?

　　Bracks' government has put the State's water protection on the constant force, by using dangerous and awful system for its projects and failing to provide the necessary rules for the industrial needs．After spoiling the water resources for years on end－Bracksie blames the households(i．e．YOU)for water wasteage．Ridiculous restrictions(限制)are made, supported by Dob-your-neighbour phone line．Cars become dirty, grass becomes dead, naked people bathe in the showers…Water resources keep on decreasing．So instead of supporting recycling, Bracks owes it to people's showing no attention．Most of Europe as well as parts of Asia drink recycled water, despite not being in a serious draught(干旱)like Australia．Drinking recycled water is SAFE, if the technologies used are proper ones．

　　Meanwhile, the real reason for the draughts－environmental change is hardly being addressed by the State Government at all．Yes, they have given us a target for CO2　20％decrease in 20 years' time, but we question：A, that is not enough; B, that is too far away; C, what is going to be done to achieve those targets?

(1)

A．

great

unimportant

stupid

B．

閱讀理解：

　　Our boat floated on, between walls of forest too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains．Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed：where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore．In any case, what would we have sailed by landing?The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures, and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way．So we stayed in the boat, hoping we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization．

　　We lived on fish, caught with home-made net of string(we had no hooks), and fruits and nuts we could pick up out of the water．As we had no fire, we had to eat everything, including the fish, raw I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience; perhaps sea fish which do not live in the mud are less tasteless．After eating my raw fish, I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice-cream．In the never-ending damp heat of the jungle, ice-cream was a particularly frequent dream．

　　As for water, there was a choice：we could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst．We drank the water．Men who had just escaped what had appeared to be certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water．In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result．

　　One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us．We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time：we might not be so lucky to escape in a stolen boat again．

(1)

What they could see in the boat was only ________．

[　　]

high wall

villagers from time to time

vast land

heavy woods

the mud on the shore was too soft

the forest was too thick to let them go through

C．

they could not find the mark on the map

they could not find anyone to lead them out of the forest．

[　　]

A．

rich of fruits and animals to be served as food

B．

not very thick as they could advance slowly by cutting the branches

full of various dangerous beings

full of ancient trees
