III. READING:
Ex4. Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Although the world’s energy resources have taken many millions of years to produce, we are quickly beginning to exhaust these supplies. Recently a UN committee reported that the world’s oil and gas supplies would last about 100 years if they were used carefully. The report stated that there would be enough oil and gas for a century only if the present demand could be controlled. If the demand continued to grow, the report said that fuel supplies would last for less than forty years. According to the report, governments must now take steps to control the amounts of fossil fuel which are used.

2. What did a UN committee report recently?
3. How many years would fuel supplies last, if the demand continued to grow?
4. Must government take steps to control the amounts of fossil fuel which are used?
EX5. Read the following passage and tick true (T) or false (F)
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 Burnharm of the New England Institude 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.
