VI. Read the passage and then answer the following questions (1m)
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 Burnham of the New England Institute 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 is 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 economically as
possible.
