THE SUN AS A SOURCE OF ENERGY
As the supplies of fossil fuels-coal. oil and gas are running out, Scientist have been working hard trying to find ways of obtaining other kinds of fuel. They have succeeded in finding one that very efficient; nuclear fuel. however, the ores which produced this in of energy, e.g. uranium ores, will eventually run out, too. Fortunately a source of abundant energy, which is virtually inexhaustible-sunlight-has been waiting for the scientist.
The sun sends energy equal to that produced by 10,00 million tons of coal every second, of which the earth recevies only one two-billionth part. It is estimated that the energy which falls no one square matre of the earth's surface per second can be used to keep about 100 watt lamp burning. The sun's energy is really abundant, but only a limited amount has so far been used by a man. The sun can also used as a source of fuel for power plants. Such power plants are still in the experimental stages.
However, its hoped that they will lead the way to wider use of solar energy to run machines.
Solar energy can be used in telephone communications, space technology, and farming. Solar battries have been in experimental use for a number of years to power telephone lines. They are now being used to recharge battries which power instruments used in space vehichles. Scientist have also succeeds in catching even a small parts of the energy, no body would worry about running out of fossil fuels or uranium ores.

OIL
Oil, like coal and natural gas, is a fossil fuel. Fuel fossil are made from the remain of dead plants and animals. It is thought that oil comes from tiny plants and animals whose bodies fell in their millions to the seabed when they died. There they were covered by sands and muds, which later hardened into rock. In the course of millions of years, the plant and animal underwent chemical changes and eventually turned into oil.
Oil deposits lie hidden deep beneath the surface of the earth. They have to be searched for. Unless the oil actually come to the surface, it is impossible to be certain that any is present.
The raising demand for oil products keeps the oil companies busy exploring new oil fields, and drilling new wells. Exploration teams are sent distant region to search for oil. If the exploration shows good result, the gas pressure is less, and a pumping station must be built to bring up the oil. Wells continue to produce oil for several years, until production becomes so low that they must be abandoned.
Crude oil has to be transported to a refinery to be made into many products that are useful to man, such as processing gives aviation fuel, greases, fertilizers, insecticides, man made fibres and many things.
The oil industry has very complex and widespread distribution system. Ocean tankers, pipelines, rail tankers, and road tankers are used to bring the oil products to seaports, inland depots, can and droum factories, and to tens of thousand of petrol station in cities and along motorways.
More than any others, the oil industry influences the lives of men and women everywhere. From the largest to simplest home, whose need may only be kerosene for its lamps and stoves, there is daily need for large quantities of the various oil product.
From the oil fields the crude oil sent to a …….., to be processed into petrol and other oil the products.

In any community its various arganism are linked in a complicated web relationships. There are many usually in balance with one another. If the natural web is disturbed, the results may be disastrous. As the rule, the various populations of organisms tend to adjust to seasonal and other changes, and the whole community stays in balance. Most disturbances come from man's activities.
In an undisturbed forest, white-tailed deer feed on plants of varoius kinds. Wolves and mountain lions prey on the deer. When deer are numerous, their enemies become numerous too, because there is so much to feed upon. The deer and their enemies stay in balance with one another.
The man enters the scene. He looks on animals such as wolves and mountain lions as harmful. He killsas many as possible. When the animals that feed on deer are killed, the deer multiply, without check. Soon the large deer population has eaten nearly all the plants available for food. Then the deer begin to starve.
Another example of man's interference with natural communities is the use of chemical insecticides. Grass in the sprayed ares may be eaten by cows. As a recult, teh milk of some cows has been found to contain too much DDT. the insecticides are also collcted in the tissues of birds that eat the sprayed insects. Some of the affected birds lay eggs that do not hatch. The number of birds therefore decreases, cutting down the food supply of other animals.
Whether intended or not, almost evry change that man has made in natural webs of life has turned out to be a disaster for communities involved. Everything he does affects all therest of it, just as any change in the community or climate around him affects his won well-being. Thus, by changing natural communities, man may harm himself.

When we buy canned or bottled food products at the grocer’s or the supermarket, we will find out that there are some additives added to the main nutrients. An additives is a non-nutritive substance intentionally added to food generally in small quantities, to improve appearance, flavor, storage properties, etc.
Most governments issue lists of permitted additives stating the highest acceptable concentration, defining food products in which they may be used and sometimes recommending the maximum daily consumption. Such legislation is revised periodically, and product may be added to or deleted from permitted lists because of additional scientific knowledge and experience of their use.
A group of food additives includes vitamins, amino acids, and minerals which are added to foodstuffs to compensate for losses occurring during processing or to provide additional sources in diet that might otherwise be deficient in such nutrients. Examples of their use include enrichment o margarine with the addition of vitamin A, and niacin amide to flour or bread. Salt often has a small amount of iodine to it to avoid a diet deficiency that can cause goiter development.
Appearance is an important factor in food appeal, and legislation in most countries permits the addition of both natural and synthetic colouring mater based on the colouring standards issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO).
Flavoring materials are added to basic foodstuff to provide a characteristic product flavor or to supplement or modify the original flavor. Most flavoring materials are still of natural origin, but progress in organic chemistry has made, it possible to analyze flavoring materials and to synthesize product similar with those found in nature.
Flavor can also be influenced by the addition of the flavor enhancer such as monosodium glutamate which intensifies perception of flavoring.
The list of permitted additives were issued by ....
A.
grocer
B.
consumer
C.
legislation
D.
governments
E.
food producer

Two very important fuel gases are made from petroleum during the refining process. They are butane and propane, which are similar to methane. These gases are sold in small tanks and are used for cigarette lighters, portable melding torches, and camping stoves.
Mixture of the two gases are stored under pressured as a liquid. For this reason the mixture is called liquefied petroleum gas or LPG. As it is used the liquid in the tank evaporates and leaved the tank as gas. The main use of LPG is as a cooking fuel on farms and in small towns are where a central gas making plant would not be practical. Instead of piping the gas to the house where it is to be used, a tank of LPG is connected directly to the stove. Because LPG is sold in tanks, it is often called tank gas or bottled gas.
LPG is also used to small extent to run automobiles and tractors. When the fuel tank is empty, it is replaced by a full one.
The following answers are all correct except one. Which one is wrong? Bottled gas provides the fuel ….
A.
for cooking

In agriculture, for example, to fulfill demand for food supply. Man tends to concentrate on growing a single species of plant (monoculture) in area. High densities of crops provide optimum condition for pests and spread disease. To kill pest and the spread of disease man the uses pesticides, especially insecticides. Through effective, it is expensive and can kill many organisms whish harmless to Man’s crops so upsetting the balance of the ecosystem. They may kill the pest’s natural enemies, this removing a form of biological control of the pests. Moreover, pesticides, DDT for examples, can accumulate within the tissues of organism, and be passed along food chains where they increase in concentration. Animals at the end of the food chain may doses large enough to be fatal.
Industrialization pollutes the atmosphere, soil and water. The main factors in this are the release of chemical waste from industrial processes the use of pesticides and herbicides, accumulation of unwanted materials (rubbish) and the increasing disposal of the radioactive waste.
The only means of preventing over - exploitation of plants, animals and natural resources, and preservation. The government gives protection to the species and animal threatened with extinction and campaigns to conserve energy. Forest conservation, reforestation, reengineering: National Parks, like Ujung Kulon for example, to hunt, kill of trade in protected animal such as elephants, orang utans, rhinoceros, and cassowary. Recent efforts to transfer elephants from the neighboring areas to Air Sugihan in South Sumatera is a means of protecting elephants for extinction.

OIL
That oil has helped to shape the world is not an oxygenation. Indeed, the discovery of oil during the last hundred years has changed a great deal of things. An oil product called kerosene has replaced firewood in the kitchen of our cities. Motor vehicles using gasolineor diesel oil have put animal – drawn carriges into museums. Steamships have lost against motor vehicles. Diesel locomotives have driven steam locomotives off the rails. Jet planes using aviation feul fly the skies, making remote places reachable in a matter of hours.
That oil is indispensable to our everyday lives is not an exaggenaration, either. Yet few of us ever ask how this important liquid is extracted from the earth and changed into finished products. In the first place, it is not an easy matter to find an oil reserve. Exploration teams, sent by oil companies, have to go to remote places, and sometimes have to live under harsh conditions, to explore the earth or seabed for oil. They study the rock and the soil, and if there are promising result, the next thing for the oil company to do is to send a drilling team to the location. Again, this not a simple matter. Roads, for examples, have to be built first to transport the men and materials to the site. What is worse, the first drilling does not always bring about oil. The drilling team often has to drill up to ten wells before oil is found.
An oil product called ... has replaced firewood in the kitchen of our cities.
