Are you looking for a cheap, clean,effective sourse of power that doesn’t cause pollution or waste natural resourses? Look no further than solar energy from our sun.At present,most of our electricity comes from the use of coal,and gas,oil or nuclear power.This power could be provided by the sun. One present of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total population.
	Many countries are already using solar energy.Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and the sun’s energy is used to heat water .The energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy too.
	Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all buildings will be heated by solar energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2015

III, READING 
 1/ Reading the passage and decide if the following sentences are true or false. 
 Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the habitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. 
 The fire engines were prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use fire fighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of buildings. 
Most of those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires, which followed. If the earthquake had occured at night while people were sleeping, far fewer would haved died. 
 True or false T F 1. Almost a hundred thousand people were killed in Tokyo in 1923 because of an earthquake. 
 2. The fire engines were prevented from going to help because most of the water pipes had burst.
3.Over ninety percent of the damage was caused by fire.

5.Why was it impossible to use fire fighting equipments?
6.What were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake?

Vesuvius and covered the town of Pompeii in 79 AD. Everyone in the town was killed. The Mt. St. Helens volcano didn’t kill many people.
