Ⅷ.阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
A drought is a long time without enough rain, and it can bring many problems to people's lives. When rivers and lakes dry up, farmers can't water their crops. Last summer, my uncle's farm lost all his wheat because of the drought. He said it was the worst year in a decade. Droughts also make it hard for people to get clean water. In some villages, people have to walk miles to find wells, and even then, the water might be too dirty to drink. Moreover, droughts can cause wildfires. When the land is too dry, a small spark can start a big fire that burns forests and homes. Last month, a fire near our town destroyed 20 houses, and firefighters had to use trucks to bring water from far away.
Thankfully, people are becoming more aware of the importance of water conservation during droughts. They recycle water from washing vegetables or dishes to water plants and flush the toilet. Some communities even organise workshops to teach people how to save water in daily life. Although droughts are difficult, working together helps everyone survive and makes our communities stronger.
