21、es. They killed off many of the Indians, seized their land or pushed them off to lands farther away.

22、hat is now the US.

Even so, it represents power of about 5, 000, 000 horsepower(马力)per square mile per day: the sun gives us as much energy every miunte as mankind utili

27、zes in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine. Even w

28、indmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating affects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar engine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly eff

29、icient, in which the suns rays are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.33 How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?（A）100% but indirectly.（B） 5%.（C） 50%.（D）only a very tiny amount.34 Which of the following statements is NOT true?（A）Even windmills action depe

32、t source of power（C） how water power is produced（D）the amount of solar energy that can be utilized36 Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as Careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that th

33、ey developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them: often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real d

34、isasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the pr

35、oblems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries: however, the new rule: came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S. , for example, there is a d

36、epartment which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies t

37、hat are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are
