VII. Read the passage and choose the correct answer.
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 try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Ma 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 the only alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it is very dangerous. What would
happen if there were 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.
