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.



71. Which of the following power sources causes pollution by emitting harmful gases?

A. Wind. B. Petrol. C. Water. D. Sunlight.

72. The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ______.

A. the tides B. scientists C. harmful effects D. new ways

73. What do we call machines that make electricity?

A. Voltages B. Generators or turbines. C. Pipes and radiators. D. Electric magnets.

74. Before electricity, what was sometimes passed through pipes to heat rooms?

A. Gas. B. Hot wind C. Steam D. Petrol

75. The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to ______.

A. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity

B. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy

C. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy

D. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity

76. What does the author mean by saying that electricity is flexible?

A. It is used to drive motor engines. B. It can be adapted to various uses.

C. It can be made with ease. D. It is cheap and easy to use.

77. The main forms of power used to generate electricity in Australia are ______.

A. atomic power and water B. wind and gas

C. water and coal D. sunlight and wind power

78. Electric magnets are used in steel works to ______.

A. heat the molten steel B. lift heavy weights up to ten tons

C. test the steel for strength D. boil a jug of water

79. The advantage of harnessing the power of the tides and of sunlight to generate electricity is that they _____.

A. do not require attention B. are more adaptable

C. do not pollute the environment D. are more reliable

80. The best title for this passage could be ______.

A. “Types of Power Plants” B. “Why Electricity Is So Remarkable”

C. “Electricity: Harmful Effects on Our Life” D. “How to Produce Electricity”

THE BODY CLOCK

Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired than flying to London from New York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology. Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on. It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”).

This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m. Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon. One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external world. Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity. To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the same rate. So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace. Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether.

Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours. It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day. That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east. NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights. When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock. Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency.



One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted. There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours. Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well. Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent. It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive. But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone.
