the following passage carefully and then answer the questions (5 pts) Use energy more efficiently and help save the planet by switching to low-energy light bulbs Many of us still use traditional bulbs around the house But simply replacing one traditional 100-watt bulb in your home with a low-energy equivalent will save you the amount of electricity required to make 1,200 cups of tea It will also reduce your annual electricity bill, so as well as using less energy, you’ll be paying less money This is because traditional bulbs only use 10% of the electrical energy to produce light, while the remaining 90% is wasted as heat Low-energy bulbs, which are also known as Compact Fluorescent Lamps, or CFLs, are more efficient because most of the electrical energy is used to generate actual light instead CFLs are more expensive to buy, costing an average of £6 each compared to 40p for a traditional equivalent, but they work out cheaper in the long run because they use less electricity and are much more durable, lasting at least six times longer However, they have some drawbacks For example, they can have a slow start-up, taking some time to reach their full brightness, so you are recommended to use them where they will be left on for longer periods, such as your living room or hallway This also avoids frequent switching on and off, which may also shorten the life of the bulbs
