Exercise 1. Read the passage carefully.
The forces of nature are used by man to generate energy for his many needs.
Gravity, being a fundamental force of nature. Is always present. One of the most obvious effects of gravity is
that it makes water flow. The flow of water has long been used by man for various purposes. River are used
for travelling and transpotation. Dams, both natural and man – made, enable electricity to be generated. On a
small scale, water power is used to run mills and do other simple work for man.
There is research being carried out to harness the energy of waves. This energy is again converted to
electricity to serve man.
By far, electricity is the most versatile of all of nature’s energy. Without electricity, we will have no electric
light, air conditioner, television, radio, electronic computer, rice cooker, motor car etc. So it is without doubt
our most important sources of energy.
The Earth is surrounded by a huge invisible magnetic force field that stays reasonably constant all the time.
Ever since the discovery of the magnetic compass, man has made used of it for navigation. The compass is
still being used today by aeroplanes and ships that sail the seas. It is indispensible component of navigation. It
enables man to find his way around the entire planet.
The most powerful force on the entire planet is the force released in an atomic explosion. Man discovered
this awesome force just about fifty years ago and has since been trying to harness it safely and profitably.
Unfortunately, nuclear energy is still a very difficult thing to control. No doubt it is a source of tremendous
and almost inexhaustible energy, but the price we must pay for using it seems too much. Nobody wants to be
burdened by the by–products of an atomic reactor. They are too toxic and radioactive. The problems
associated with safe disposal of these by–products are too numerous to surmount. Unless man finds better
ways to harness the power of the atom, it is better to leave it alone. Otherwise man might destroy himself with
it.
Sadly too, atomic energy is being used to make bombs. Bombs are nothing but tools of destrcution. Man in
his madness or ignorance has stockpiled thousands of such horrors and they are just waiting to be let loose
upon the world. So far, only Hiroshima and Nagasaki had tasted the horror of the atomic bomb. There is much
fear that one day the whole world will be consumed by a nuclear war that will end everything for man. If that
happens it will just be man’s foolishness. He is given this whole beautiful Earth to enjoy in. If he uses what he
is given correctly, he lives. If he uses what he is given foolishly, he will certainly perish.
A – Answer the questions by ticking True or False.
1. Man can’t use the forces of nature to generate energy for his many needs.
2. Man knows how to make use of rivers for travelling and transportation.
