IV. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions (2ms)
In Britain, natural gas is the most popular fuel of heating homes, and for cooking. It
is piped all over the country from the gas fields below the North Sea. Natural gas is used
chiefly as direct source of energy, although it is also used in chemical industry. At the
moment the supply is plentiful, but it will be running short by the end of the century, and
will run out, during the 21st century unless are found. We could do without natural gas, as
coal gas can be used as a substitute, and there should be enough coal to last for several
centuries. However, it is a form of energy which is not only cheap, but also highly
efficient.

so people cant go there yet. However, people have already been on the moon. Scientists
know a lot about it.
The moon is nearer than the sun. The moon is about 240,000 miles away. The sun is
farther, 93 million miles from us. When people look at the moon, it look almost as large
as the sun. That is because it is much nearer. The sun is really much larger.
The sun is a star. It sends out light. The moon is rocky and hard. It doesnt send out light;
it reflects [ri'flekt] light. This means that the moon does make its own light. The sun sends
out light to the moon. The moon sends the suns light back to the earth.
