three types of fossil 1 fuels produce carbon dioxide in far great quantities than 2 plants can use The carbon dioxide
then accumulates in the atmosphere and may even increase the earth‟s „heat load‟ and lead to global 3 rises.in
temperature Thus, contrary to popular belief, the use of coal, gas, and oil is not as safe as was originally
thought. Furthermore, all three fossil fuels are non-renewable forms of energy
Wind power is a pollution- 4 free source of renewable energy but it can not be used in many parts of the world where
there is 5 insufficient wind It is also impossible to use wind power efficiently at present
Solar power is renewable, it does not cause pollution and it does not add to the earth‟s heat load. Unfortunately, solar
power is not 6 distributed equally and in some areas, it is difficult to collect and 7 store Solar power also requires
expensive 8 equipment
Finally, nuclear power provides a very efficient and renewable power 9 source However, not only is there a great
danger of leaks or accidents but there is also the problem of the 10 disposal of radioactive waste

local hospital One night, a nurse came to them and explained that some patients were too sick to come to the lounge
where the performance was being held She asked whether one of the performers could do a song or two in a patient‟s
room “It was a magical moment,” recalls Tiwary ”The one-to-one interaction between the musician and the people in
the hospital had a very powerful effect ” Solomon and Tiwary were aware that studies have shown that music helps in
relieving pain, but this firsthand experience gave them real proof of the benefits. So they designed a plan that would
