The polluted land，which is mostly in economically developed areas，accounts for one-tenth of the countrys total arable（可耕种的）land，according to an incomplete survey by the State Environmental Protection Administration，Chinas top environment watchdog. Pollution on cultivated land threatens the environment，food safety and the sustainable development of agriculture，the administration said. Because of continual，too much use of chemical fertilizer, pesticide and agricultural plastic sheeting, as well as irrigation using polluted water, a large amount of contaminants（污染物）remain in the cultivated land. The contaminants affect the soils ecological structure and function，leading to decreased soil productivity, lower crop yield（产量），and lower quality of agricultural products-It also leads to worse water quality in rural areas. Less than 9 per cent of drinkable water passed checks for bacteria in243 rural water supply stations across the county. Another survey, which took samples of drinking water and groundwater an 69 small towns。 in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province of North，China, showed that more than half of the water contains too much nitrate（硝酸盐），which may cause diabetes（糖尿病）and damage the kidney. The administration estimated at least 1 90 million farmers are drinking water that contains harmful substances. Many villagers drink unfiltered water taken from shallow water wells or water cellars， which are reported to have poor sanitary conditions68. The author writes the passage to .

But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more. Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer. Its faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And thats why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear. “When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.” “Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.” Many students dont feel this is something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite? Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writers emotion. Through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.” To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand. 64. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.B. To type or to Handwrite.C. Writing by Computer will Replace Writing by Hand.D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.65. Which of the foll
