Reading1
Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world’s energy resources are
limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them economically and try to find out
alternative sources of power.
 According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving
coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is the only alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it’s very dangerous. What would happen if
there was a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the future generations.
The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as economical as possible.
1. Natural resources will never run out.
2. We don’t know exactly how much fuel is left.
3. We shouldn’t waste fuel.
4. According to Professor Marvin Burnham, solar energy will be used as a substitute for natural resources.
5. All people agree to use nuclear power as an alternative energy.
6. Radioactivity from nuclear power causes cancer and may have bad effect on the future generations.
7. Natural resources should be used as much as possible.


 Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspaper, we hear, see or read about many problems in the world, for
example, pollution problems.
Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes, cars, airplanes, trains and
poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped any where, even in the city where many people are living. The
second pollution problem is sea pollution. Many people earn their living from fishing in the sea, and the fish they catch feed
many people. But the sea has become so polluted from oil spills and factory wastes that the fish are dying. This pollution is not
only killing the fish, but is also affecting those people who eat fish.
Seldom do you find a place nowadays that is not polluted. This problem is growing more difficult everyday. We must
find a good solution that makes the world a better place to live.
1. We hear, see and read about problems in the world _________
A. once a week

People use many sources of energy. Ancient people used only their arms, hands, and simple tools until they discovered fire.
Later, people learned to use the energy of the wind to sail ships. Then they learned to use animals to do work. In the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries, people began to use machines. The first machines used steam. They burned coal to heat water. The
hot water turned into steam, and the steam engine did the work. Later, people began to use the gasoline engine, and today
people are using nuclear energy.
Energy is one of the basic concepts, or ideas, of physics. It is the ability to do work. Without energy we could live.
We need energy to work, and scientists are always looking for new sources of energy.
1. None of the world’s energy comes from the sun.
2. Wind, steam, and gasoline are sources of energy.
3. People have never used nuclear energy.
4. Energy is the ability to do work.
5. We need new sources of energy.
