Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world's
energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should
use them economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin
Burnham of the New England Institute ofTechnology, we have to start saving coal, oil and gas before it
is too late; and solar power is the only alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it's very dangerous.
What would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly
affect the future generations. The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as
economical as possible.

Exercise 15. Read the passage and answer the questions given.
It takes you about 16 hours to travel from New York to Beijing. Beside, you also have to wait at
the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer onto a different airplane. If you add all of that extra
time, the trip will take at least 20 hours. But in the future, this trip might only take 2 hours.
Nowadays, a private company is developing something called ET3 which stands for "evacuated
tube transport technology". Here is how it works. A tube goes all way from New York to Beijing. The
tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules use move through the tube. Six people can sit in one

67
Tailieugiangday.vn
capsule. The capsules use electricity instead of gasoline. The capsules can travel about 6.500
kilometers per hour. That is much faster than airplane - most modern airplanes usually only fly at
about 800 kilometers per hour.
So how is this possible? How can these capsules travel so fast? The answer is that there is no air
inside the tube. When airplanes fly, they have to move through the air. The air slows the airplanes
down. Because there is no air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to move at a very high speed.
Besides, the capsules are quite light. They only weigh 183 kilograms.
It is exciting to think of how ET3 will change in the future. Maybe someday, you will be able to
have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing.
1. How long will it take to travel from New York to Beijing if you travel by ET3?
_______________________________________________________________________________.
2. What does ET3 stand for?
