READING COMPREHESION 1. Read the passages, and then answer the questions SAVING ENERGY In Western countries, electricity, gas, and water are not luxuries but necessities. Companies now realize that consumers want products that will not work effectively, but also save money. For most North American households, lighting accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of the electricity bill. However, this amount can be reduced by replacing an ordinary 100-watt light bulb with an energy-saving bulb. These bulbs use a quarter of the electricity of standard bulbs and last eight times longer. Therefore, consumers can save about US$7 to US$21 per bulb. In Europe, there is a labeling scheme for refrigerators, freezers, washing machines and tumble dryers. The labels tell consumers how much efficiency each model has, compared with other appliances in the same category. Ultimately, these innovations will save money as well as conserve the Earth’s resources. Questions a. Are electricity, gas, and water necessities in Western countries? b. How much does lighting account for in the electricity bill for most North American household? c. How longer do the energy-saving bulbs last compared with the ordinary 100-watt bulbs? d. Name some products that are labeled in Europe. e. Why should we save energy? 2. Read the passages, and then answer the questions A SPACE TRIP If you decide to take a space trip, you will have to get ready a few months before the flight. You must be in excellent physical condition. You should run a lot, swim every day, and do aerobics and push-ups. You must get a letter from the doctor that shows you are in perfect health. Once you get on the trip, you will be in a different world. You will see pictures of the Earth. You may also find your country and other interesting places. You will be able to see the oceans, the big rivers, the tall mountains. You will be able to see them many times because you will orbit the Earth 16 times a day! You will also be to see stars that you couldn’t see from the Earth. When you are in orbit, you will able to get out of your seat and walk in the cabin. You will able to walk on the walls or on the ceiling like in a circus. You will not weigh anything! You will feel totally free and enjoy the wonderful feeling you have never had before. If you were on board now, you would experience those marvelous things. Questions 1. What will you have to do if you decide to take a space trip? 2.
