SOLAR ENERGY
Sunlight carries huge amounts of energy. You can feel the Sun’s energy when sunlight warms your
skin on a summer day. To capture the Sun’s energy, scientists have developed solar cells, called
photovoltaic cells. These cells convert sunlight into electricity.
When sunlight hits a solar cell, some of the light energy is absorbed. This light energy causes the
particles in the solar cell to move faster, and the environment of these particles creates
electricity.
In some places, large panels of solar cells harvest sunshine to make electricity for homes and
businesses. Solar cells have been placed on cars and appliances, too. Since the Sun sends
abundant free energy streaming toward Earth 24 hours a day, people in many parts of the world,
not just the sunniest places, have fixed solar cells and solar panels on the roofs of their houses or
businesses to lower their energy costs.
Experts say that the huge installation of solar panels in sunny regions could generate enough
electricity to supply an entire country. Capturing this energy can help overcome our diminishing
energy supply. New ways to capture this energy are being developed all the time to maximize
efficiency.
1. What is the source of solar energy?
A. sunlight B. photovoltaic cells C. solar panels D. electricity
2. Solar cells are used ………….
A. to collect energy from the sun B. to provide sunlight to houses
C. to convert sunlight into electricity D. both a and c are correct

A. unlimited B. dangerous C. plentiful D. clean

A. the Sun produces a large amount of energy.

C. scientists are constantly developing new ways to capture the Sun’s energy
D. people use solar energy to reduce their energy costs.

Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time
Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes from
household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce and throw
away. What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help save the
environment by doing simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling can
also reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little effort. It
is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do
it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be conserved by taking
short showers instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine
only when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.
Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should also try to use
this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into compost
for plants. The average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste every day, but we can reduce that
amount by recycling and reusing.
If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more polluted.
Question 1: Pollution can be caused from the following sources EXCEPT______.
A. water in rivers B. water from households C. wastes D. household chemicals
Question 2: Recycling can help us ______.
A. never cut down trees B. use products again and again
C. place garbage bins easily D. produce more paper products
Question 3: In order to save water, we can do all of the following things except ______.
A. take short showers instead of baths B. repair leaky faucets
C. fully use the washing machine D. turn the faucet off while brushing your teeth
Question 4: Recycling helps to reduce waste because______.
A. plants need to develop B. a person can do it in his home
C. waste can be recycled and reused D. an average man produces compost for plants
Question 5: The word "It" in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. cutting down B. the number C. recycling D. effort
