II. Read the following passage carefully, then make questions from the
suggestions and answer them.
We can develop alternative sources of energy and unless we try we’ll never
succeed. Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more
economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any sources
of energy.
If we didn’t waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. We can
save more energy by conservation than we can produce for the same money.
Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power, tidal power, hydroelectric
plants… our fossil fuel will run out and we‘ll all freeze or starve to death.
Many countries are spending much more time and money on research
because the energy from the sun, the waves and the wind lasts forever. We really
want survive unless we start working on cleaner and safer sources of energy.
