IV. Read the passage and make the correct choice:
We are in an energy crisis and we will have to do something quickly. Fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) are rapidly
running out. The tragedy is that fossil fuels are far too valuable to waste on the production of electricity. Just think of all the
things you can make from oil! If you don't start conserving these things now, it will be too late. And nuclear power is the
only real alternative. We are getting some electricity from unclear power-station already. If we invest in further research
now, we'll be ready to face the future. There's been a lot of protest lately against nuclear power — some people will
protest at anything — but nuclear power-stations are not as dangerous as some people say. It's far more dangerous to
work down a coal-mine or on a North Sea oil-rig. Safety regulations are very strict.
