If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man? No one knows. This mystery (谜) has puzzled (困惑) the world for years.In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints (脚印) in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don"t walk without shoes in the snow.In 1906, another climber saw more footprints. Far off, he saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran very quickly.Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the "something". A mountain climber said he had seen the "snow man" walk slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it looked like a very large man.From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. The pictures showed clearly that the Snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an apeman(猿人）? The mystery grew! And the mystery keeps growing. Someday we may find out just what it is that makes the large footprints.31. The passage is about _______.

Man can only drink or use the other 3％of the fresh water (淡水) which comes from rivers,lakes and underground. On the other hand, because the number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, more and more fresh water is needed.

In this way, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.But heating is not the only way to get fresh water.
