V. READING COMPREHENSION (0.5 pt)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.
	One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using natural gas for cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas are found in the United States, usually several thousand feet below the surface of the earth. Natural gas is most often found in places where petroleum, the oil from which gasoline is made, is found. Often the natural gas must be removed before the oil itself can be reached.
	For many years after natural gas was first discovered, it was thought to have no value. Finally, however, people began to understand its use and to find ways of storing it and moving it from place to place. Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and heating. It has also been used for electric generators and hybrid cars recently. In many ways natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be used for cooking without making the room hot. It is cheap and can be moved easily from one place to another through long pipelines, some of which are hundreds of miles in length.
76. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
	A. natural gas is useless	B. people once wasted natural gas
	C. natural gas is moved in trucks	D. natural gas is found where there’s no petroleum
77. This passage as a whole is about _______.
	A. discovering natural gas	B. finding petroleum.
	C. using natural gas and petroleum	D. natural gas and its use
78. Which of the following is NOT true about natural gas?
	A. It is not used for heating.	B. It is cheap.
	C. It moves through pipes.	D. It can be stored.
79. According to the passage, the easiest way to move natural gas from one place to another is _______.
	A. to liquidize it and move it through pipelines
	B. to liquidize it and move it by trucks
	C. through pipelines
D. to store it in large tanks to move

SAVING ENERGY
 Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actual, the world’s energy resources are limited. Nobody know exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them economically and try finding out alternative sources of power. According for Professor Marvin Burnham of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is very late; and nuclear power is the only alternative. However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because of it’s very dangerous. What would happen whether there were a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may bad affect the future generations. The more effective thing is that we should use natural resources as economical as possible.

Large amounts of natural gas are found in the United States, usually several thousand feet below the surface of the earth. Natural gas is most often found in places where petroleum, the oil from which gasoline is made, is found. Often the natural gas must be removed before the oil itself can be reached.
	For many years after natural gas was first discovered, it was thought to have no value. Finally, however, people began to understand its use and to find ways of storing it and moving it from place to place. Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and heating. It has also been used for electric generators and hybrid cars recently. In many ways natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be used for cooking without making the room hot.
