* Read the passage, then answer the questions.
In Britain, natural gas is the most popular fuel for heating homes and cooking. It is piped all over the country from the gas fields below the North Sea. Natural gas is used chiefly as a direct source of energy, although it is also used in the chemical industry. At the moment the supply is plentiful, but it will be running short by the end of the century and will run out during the 21 st century unless new supplies are found. We could do without natural gas, as coal gas can be used as a substitute, and there should be enough coal to last for several centuries. However, it is a form of energy that is not only cheap but also highly efficient.
1. What is natural gas used for?
Natural gas is used for heating homes and cooking.
2. Where does it come from?
it comes from all over the country from the gas fields below the North sea.
3. What is natural gas used chiefly as?
Natural gas is used chiefly as a direct source of energy, although it is also used in the chemical industry.
4. Is the supply plentiful now?
Yes, it is.
5. What will happen if we can’t find new supplies?
If we can't find new supplies natural gas will run out.
6. When will it run out?
It will run out during the 21stcentury.
7. What can be used as a substitute for natural gas?
coal gas can be used as a substitute for natural gas.
8. How long should there be enough coal to last?
There should be enough coal to last for several centuries.
9. Is natural gas expensive?
It is cheap.
10. Is it efficient?
Yes, it is.
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's 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 economical as possible
