17、 back40 Solar energy for your home is coming. It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor. The type of home you have is another. Things like insulation present ener

18、gy coasts, and the type of system you buy are added factors.Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. And when Mother Nature says thats all. The only way we can

19、delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun.We wont have to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides begin an endless source of energy, the use of the sun has other advantages as well. The sun

20、 doesnt offer so many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel plants add to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we wont need so much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.With all these good points, why dont w

21、e use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy. All that is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Expe

22、rts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed. Solar energy is now in its infancy. It could soon grow to bec

27、llion also have a passenger-side device located in the dashboard. Air bags are designed to protect against sudden, fierce frontal highway impacts.Five years ago evidence of serious air bag injuries began to surface. Drivers in minor fender benders suffered severe eye and ear injuries, broken bones a

28、nd third degree burns from the force of the inflating bags. In December 1991 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)advised parents to avoid putting rear facing infant sets in front of air bags, acknowledging that the force of the explosive bag could harm infants, whose heads were

29、only inches away from the devices.Last October it was determined that all children 12 and under were more susceptible to injury and death than adults; their more fragile bodies were seated lower, increasing the impact of the air bag to the head area. In addition, more children were not properly rest

30、rained or were out of position when the air bag inflated. On November 22, 1996, after nearly 60 deaths and thousands of injuries were attributed to the devices, the NHTSA mandated improved labels for all new vehicles, warning of the risk to children under 13. Despite these problems, officials stress

31、 the overall effectiveness of these devices. “All in all, air bags work well and are responsible for an 11 percent reduction in driver fatalities. “ says NHTSA Administrator Dr. Ricardo Martinez. “ First and foremost, make sure youre properly buckled up before getting on the road. “ says Brain ONeil

32、l, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Keep in mind how close you sit to an air bag. Push seats as far back as possible, remaining just close enough to control the pedals. Your face and torso should be at least 10 to 12 inches from the steering column. “Its not a bad idea actual

33、ly to measure the distance with a ruler to be sure. “ adds ONeill.Adjustable steering wheels should be pointed toward the chest rather than the head to prevent inflating bag from damaging the face or neck. Also, position hands at nine oclock and three oclock on the wheel to keep your arms away from

34、an opening air bag.Pregnant women in particular should keep their abdomen as distant from the air bag as possible. In the final trimester, women should point adjustable steering wheels upward, away from their fetus. Perhaps most important, children 12 and under should always ride in the back seat, b

40、seems to be slipping out of reach(够不着 ). “Maybe young couples can no longer afford to buy a ready-made house as their parents did, “ says 40-year-old building instructor Pat Hennin. “But they can still have a home. Like their pioneer ancestors(祖先), they can build it themselves, and at less than half

41、 the cost of a ready-made house. “The owner-builders came from every occupational group, although surprisingly few are professional building workers. Many take the plunge(冒险尝试)with little or no experience. “I learned how to build my house from reading books, “ says John Brown, who built a six-room h

42、ome for $25, 000 in High Falls, New Jersey. “If you have patience and the carpentry(木工工作)skill to make a bookcase, you can build a house. “An astonishing 50 percent of these owner builders hammer every nail, lay every pipe, and wire every switch with their own hands. The rest contract for some parts

43、 of the task. But even those who just act as contractors and finish the insides of their homes can save from 30 percent to 45 percent of what a ready-made home would cost.One survey revealed that 60 percent of owner-builders also design their homes.

48、ht and sound. The name television comes from the Greek word tele, meaning “far“, and the Latin word videre, meaning “to see“. Thus, television means “seeing far“. Sometimes television is referred to as video, from a Latin word meaning “I see“. In Great Britain, the popular word for television is “te

49、lly“.Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic waves which are sent through the air. In TV, both sound and light are changed into electromagnetic waves. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s, inve
