Comprehension
Passage 1
Answer all the
questions from the passage given below.
The
Rio Grande today is mostly used as a source of drinking water. Sadly, much of
the water has been drained from the river. Parts of the river are almost dry!
This is because people use more water from the river than the river can get
back from rain and other sources. Experts are working to correct this, though,
with hopes of restoring the river to its past strength. Today, the river is
important as a source of water for Texans and Mexicans. More important, it is a
symbol of cooperation between two nations. Though borders like the Rio Grande
separate nations, they are also shared spaces. The Rio Grande is therefore a
symbol of friendship and peace between two people.
