I. Read the following passage carefully. Answer the questions that follow, and choose the best answer to
each question.
In todays fast-paced, cyber-linked world, it would be hard to imagine working without the internet. Most of us would probably feel pretty desperate. Well, how about trying to live a day without
water, a real every-day nightmare for some people. I know how it feels. After suffering from one-day emergency shutdown of my local water supply, which prevented me
from getting a 5 single drop of water from the tap, let alone showering or flushing the toilet, I
started to think how ironic it is that on a planet where water covers 71 percent of its surface, I suddenly had no.
But when I learned that just over 2 percent of the total volume of water in the global cycle is fresh water, and that most of that is locked up as polar ice caps and in glaciers, I became horrified.
Yes, horrified at the thought of more than 6 billion people sharing this small amount of water that is available. It 10
made me wonder: is there anything I can do to use this precious resource more wisely?
That question leads me to one of my favorite lines from the movie Evan Almighty. How do we change the world? By doing one act of random kindness at a time. Its a message that applies to
all aspects of life, including in conserving water. 15 So, to begin with, I started to list some of my water-consuming activities. And from various
sources, I found out that taking a bath is the biggest water consumer about 45 percent of the total daily consumption, followed by toilet flushing 25 percent and kitchen activities 15 percent.
A survey conducted in 2006 by the Directorate of Water Development of the Public Works Ministry showed that the average daily use of fresh water in Indonesia was 144 liters per person. Based
on that figure, bathing, flushing and 20 kitchen activities represent 65, 36, and 21.5 liters respectively or 122.5 liters in total. Assuming
the Indonesian population represents around 230 million people, all having equal access to 122.5 liters per day, can you imagine what happens to that 2 of global fresh water? You do the math
Those numbers have given me a stronger urge to be more efficient with my personal consumption of fresh water. So, I started off with my-bathroom. First, I readjusted the showerhead to a low-flow version
and took shorter showers, 25 less than 5 minutes long, since that could already reduce my water use
approximately by half. Second, I tried a simple trick suggested by a friend to save water in the toilet tank, by placing a
one-liter plastic bottle filled with water in the tank. This way, I save one liter of fresh water every time I flush the toilet. If the toilet is used 10 times a day, I have already saved 10 liters of fresh water.
And since I am not really a kitchen type of person, I believe my water spending in that department

wouldnt 30 exceed 10 liters per day.
So in total, I could save around 56.6 liters per day from bathroom and kitchen activities. Not bad for a start, as there are still more things that can be done to efficiently use water.
