Then one day，as he 9 the shiny bumper，he caught sig ht of his reflection in it. I guess he thinks he’s 10 her. So every day he comes to be with her.”

The Antarctic Icecap is the largest supply of fresh water，representing nearly 2％of the

world’s total of fresh and salt water. As can be seen from the table below, the amount of water

in our atmosphere is over 10 times as much as the water in all the rivers taken together. The

fresh water actually available for human use in lakes and rivers and the accessible ground

water amount to only about one-third of 1％of the world’s total water supply.
