TRUE OR FALSE
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 today,
the process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant
windmills. Geothermal power, heart from 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 the temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

Electricity is the most common form of energy today. In the modern world electricity is very available
at the touch of a switch. Electricity has many uses. The most common use of electricity is to provide
artificial lighting. In factories, electricity is used to light up the work place. It is also used to operate
air conditioners, computers and many other machines. Electricity is also used to power the many
appliances that we have in our homes. Such appliances include television sets, computers, electric
fans, irons and many others. The list is simply endless. Modern man will most probably be lost without
electricity.

Our oceans are becoming extremely polluted. Most of this pollution comes from the land, which
means it comes from people. Firstly, there is raw sewage, which is directly pumped into the sea. Many
counties, both developed and developing are guilty of doing this. Secondly, ships drop about 6 million
tons of garbage into the sea each year. Thirdly, there are oil spills from ships. A ship has an accident
and oil leaks from the vessel. This not only pollutes the water, but it also kills marine life. Next, there
are waste materials from factories. Without proper regulations, factory owners let the waste run
directly into the rivers, which led to the sea. And finally, oil is from the land. This can be the result of
carelessness or a deliberate dumping of waste.

Nowadays, environmentalists are so worried about environmental problems that can directly
affect peoples life. Among the problems mentioned every day on mass media, air pollution and water
pollution are considered the most serious ones.
There are many factors that cause the pollution of the air : chemicals from burned fuels, smoke
from automobiles, and acid rain from chemical transformation. Smoke can cause serious health
problems while acid rain is responsible for the destruction of many forest ecosystems.
Raw sewage, garbage, and oil contribute to the pollution of water. When water is polluted, it
causes a lot of waterborne diseases and threatens marine wildlife. About 1.5 billion people around the
world lack safe drinking water and every year, 5 million people die from diseases.

In Western countries, electricity , gas and water are not luxuries but necessities. Companies now
realize that consumers want products that will not only work effectively, but also save money.
For most North American households , lighting accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of the
electricity bill. However, this amount can be reduced by replacing an ordinary 100 watt light bulb with
an energy saving bulb. These bulbs use a quarter of the electricity of standard bulbs and last eight
times longer. Therefore, consumers can save about US 7 to US 21per bulb.
* Decide if the statements that follow it are True or False
1) Only electricity is necessity for everyone

Gone forever
Animals share the Earth with us. They fascinate us with their beauty, their grace, and their speed. We
love observing their behavior, and learning more about their habits. But just loving them is not
enough. All of these animals are endangered. Many of them have died, and without special care, they
may someday disappear from the Earth. Each species of animals is special. Once it is gone, it is gone
forever.
The elephant seems to represent all that is strong and wild in Africa. It once had no natural enemies,
but is now endangered - killed for its ivory tusks. Grizzly bears like to wander great distances. Today,
because forests have been cleared to make room for people, the grizzly's habitat is shrinking and the
grizzly is disappearing.
The giant panda of Asia is a fascinating and unique animal. Yet there are only about 1,000 still living
in the wild. Ocean - dwelling animals are in danger of extinction as well. Beautiful birds like the great
green macaw are also reducing greatly in number.
Unfortunately, it is people who cause many of the problems that animals face. We alter and pollute
their habitats. We hunt them for skins, tusks, furs, and horns. We destroy animals that get in the way
of farming or building. And we remove them from their natural habitats and take them home as pets.
The world is made up of many living things, and each thing is dependent on the others to survive. If
we allow even one species on Earth to become extinct, it has an impact on other living things and
changes our world. When we mention any endangered wild animals, let's hope that we never again
have to say, "Gone forever".
Decide whether the following sentences are True or False. (1 pt)
1.
The elephant represents strength and bravery in Africa.
2.
There are only about 1,000 giant pandas still living in the wild.
3.
Living things on earth are dependent on each other to survive.
