III. Read the passage and decide whether the following statements
are true or false.
Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up.
Actually, the world’s resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much
fossil fuel is left.
However, we should use them economically and try to find out
alternative source of energy. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the
England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas
before it is too late and nuclear power is a potential alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it
is dangerous.
What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity
causes cancer and may badly affect many future generations.
Therefore, while scientists are trying to find out other sources of energy,
the most important thing for us to do now is to use our natural resources as
economically as we can.
