V. Read the passage carefully and write the answers ( from 36 to 40 )
The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are burning

garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is
also an efficient way to dispose of waste. Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal,
oil shale and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are under way to
harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal, heat from the earth, is also being tested. Some experts expect
utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric
power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only four percent. The
oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean
currents, tides and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences
in ocean water to produce energy.
