Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this
discovery has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive
engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next
invention that provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine, beyond these simple
and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability.
On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that
drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge
electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are
powered by electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten
metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet
been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable
for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or
conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances.
To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water
to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without
polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is
always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power
plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation.
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the
environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope
to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in
the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will
be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil
fuels.
Question 15. The best title for this passage could be _______.
A. "Why Electricity Is So Remarkable
B. "Types of Power Plants”
C. "How to Produce Electricity"
D. "Electricity: Harmful Effects on Our Life"
Question 16. The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first
paragraph to _______.
A. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy
B. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity
C. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy
D. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity
Question 17. Electric magnets are used in steel works to _______.
A. heat the molten steel B. boil a jug of water
C. test the steel for strength D. lift heavy weights up to ten tons
Question 18. The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. harmful effects B. scientists C. new ways D. the tides

if there was no coal.
