Most of our electricity comes from the use of coal, oil, water power and nuclear power. We are looking for a cheap and clean source of power. Solar energy can be cheap and clean because it is available and it doesn’t cause pollution. One percent of the solar power that reaches the earth is enough to provide power for the total population. It is possible to store energy for a number of days, so solar energy can be used on cloudy days. Many countries in the world are beginning to use solar energy. By this way, we can save natural resources.

Answer the questions:

1. Where does most of our electricity come from?

________________________________________________________________.

2. Why do we think solar energy is clean?

_________________________________________________________________.

3. Why is it possible to use solar energy on cloudy days?

________________________________________________________________.

4. According to the passage, how can we save natural resources?

_________________________________________

As you know, our environment is falling so we have to protect it now before it too late. Here are some tips for you to prevent pollution. We should reduce, reuse and recycle things after we use them and we should plant more trees so the air will be fresher. If we walk or cycle more there will be less air pollution and we should turn off the computer and light before we going out the room so we can save a lot of electricity. However, here are some action we shouldn’t do for our environment. We shouldn’t throw rubbish into the river because it can cause the water pollution. We shouldn’t use many things made of plastic because it’s is not good for the environment. If anyone follow there tips, we will help our environment a lot.

In the future, we will live in amazing new houses. Our houses will use the sun or the wind to make electricity. We won't have cookers, dishwashers or washing. We will have robots to cook our dinner and wash our clothes. We will have robots to look after our children, and to feed our cats and dogs.

We won't use computers. We will have special remote control units. We can surf Interet, send and receive e-mails and order food from the markets without getting out of bed.

We won't have TVs or CD players because we will have watches that play music, take pictures and tell time. Our cars might not use gas. They might use energy from air, water or plants.In the future the air will not be polluted. Our world will be a great place to live in

1 What will our houses use to make electricity in the future?

2 what can special remote units do?

3 how will the air be in the future ?

4 why will not we have TVs or CD player?

5 what energy might our cars use?

Read the passage and check (ü) whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

Energy makes change; it does things for us. It moves cars along the road and boats over the water. It bakes a cake in the oven and keeps ice frozen in the freezer. It plays our favourite songs on the radio and lights our homes. Energy makes our bodies grow and allows our minds to think. Scientists define energy as the ability to do work. People have learned how to change energy from one from one form to another so that we can do work more easily and live more comfortably.

All forms of energy are stored in different ways, in the energy sources that we use every day. These sources are divided into two groups – renewable and nonrenewable. Renewable energy source is an energy source that can be replenished in a short period of time. Nonrenewable energy source is an energy source that we are using up and cannot recreate in a short period of time.

Renewable energy sources include solar energy, which comes from the Sun and can be turned into electricity and heat. Wind, geothermal energy from inside the Earth, biomass from plants, and hydropower and ocean energy from water are also renewable energy sources.

However, we get most of our energy from nonrenewable energy sources, which include the fossil fuels – oil, natural gas, and coal. They’re called fossil fuels because they were formed over millions and millions of years by the action of heat from the Earth’s core and pressure from rock and soil on the remains of dead plants and animals. Another nonrenewable energy source is the element uranium, whose atoms we split (through a process called nuclear fission) to create heat and ultimately electricity.

Question: Most of our energy we use every day comes from renewable energy sources.

A. True

B. False

Almost all our energy comes from oil, coal and natural gas. We call them fossil fuels. The earth’s
fossil fuels are running out. What would happen if there were no oil, coal and gas on earth?
Scientists are trying to find and use other alternative sources of energy. We can use energy
from the sun, the wind and the water.
Solar energy is unlimited. It supplies all the energy used to grow plants, to evaporate water for
rain, and to maintain the temperature of the planet. All are necessary for human life. If we’re able to
collect solar energy, we’ll be sure to make good use of this abundant source of power.
Another source of energy from nature is the wind. Wind power is clean and plentiful. Energy
from the wind has been used for centuries to move ships, grind grain, pump water and do other kinds
of work. In more recent time, wind power has been used to generate electricity.
Water can also provide power. For a long time, people have used water to power machines.
Some early uses of water power were to mill grain, saw wood and power machinery for the textile
industry. Today water power is mostly used to generate electricity.
11. We are asking the question “What would happen if there were no oil, coal and gas on earth?” because ___.
A. we are now depending so much on fossil fuels.
B. we are looking forward to seeing great changes.
C. we are looking for other alternative sources of energy.
D. other sources of energy can come from the sun, the wind and the water.
12. Which of the following can NOT be used as alternative sources of energy?
A. coal/gas B. the sun/the water
C. the sun/the wind D. solar energy/nuclear power
13. Centuries ago, people used wind power to ___.
A. maintain the earth’s temperature B. get water from underground
C. grow plants D. generate electricity
14. Up till now, water energy has been used for ___.
A. similar purposes C. the textile industry
B. moving ships D. different purposes

15. The word “plentiful” in line 8 mostly means ___.
A. fresh B. natural C. available D. limited
