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.

Read the following passage and then do the exercises below.

The Ancient Mexicans used to respect and fear the sun. They were frightened that the sun might stop rising. As a result, they used to make sacrifices so that the sun god would continue to give them day and night and the four seasons.

Farmers, however, used to worship the rain god almost as much as the sun god. Even today there are ruins of great pyramids they used to build to worship the sun and the rain gods.

Another popular god was the wind god, which took the form of a snake with feathers. This feathered snake was also the god of knowledge for the Ancient Mexicans. Under its influence, civilization spread throughout Mexico, which at that time was mostly a peaceful country with plenty of skilled craftsmen and traders. Unfortunately, news of this civilisation eventually spread, and Mexico was invaded from the far north. Later, other people called Aztecs settled in Mexico. At first they used to live on an island in a lake where Mexico city now is. The people used to grow maize and they built beautiful towns and temples, developing Mexico into one of the most advanced civilisations of the time.
