One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using natural gas for cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas found in the United States, usually several thousand feet below the surface of the earth. For many years after natural gas first discovered, it was thought to have no value. Finally, however, people began to understand its uses and to find ways of storing it and of moving it from place to place. Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking, and heating. In many ways, natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It is cheap and can be used for cooking without making the room hot. It can be moved easily from one place to another through long pipelines, some of which are hundreds of miles in length. 1.

Nearly 500 people reportedly gathered at Kathmandu's historic center, Basantapur Durbar Square, to honor the dead. The death toll from the magnitude-7.8 quake has climbed to 8,413 in the Himalayan nation alone, according to reports citing the Nepal Red Cross Society. "There are so many people and so many buildings we have all lost in the earthquake. I am here to show my support for these families and to say that we are all here for you," Alok Shrestha, a citizen who attended the public ceremonies, told the Associated Press (AP). Search and rescue efforts, aided by several nations and international agencies, have continued unabated since the quake and its aftershocks flattened wide swathes of the country nearly two weeks ago.

But do you really worry about it? Do you help to save the Earth? Cleaning a planet is not a task for only one person. People everywhere have to get involved and understand this is our world. If we pass the world about the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling, the destiny of this planet can change. Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment. Did you switch off the water while brushing your teeth in the morning? You should do it! Did you walk to school or did you use public transportation? Reusing is another way of being environmentally friendly. Try to find ways to use things again! Take cloth sacks when you go shopping instead of taking home newspaper or plastic bags. You should use cloth sacks again and again. You have to save some trees! Shoe boxes and margarine containers can be used to store things or become fun art projects. Use your imagination! You can also recycle in your home or even at school. Many communities have recycling centers for newspapers, batteries and a variety of glass and plastics. These can be made into new products.

Read carefully and decide whether the following statements are true or false Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the inhabitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fires engines were prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use firefighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings. Most of those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires, which followed. If the earthquake had occurred at night while people were sleeping, far fewer would have died. 1.

Scientists know a lot about it. The moon is nearer than the sun. The moon is about 240,000 miles away. The sun is farther, 93 million miles from us. When people look at the moon, it looks almost as large as the sun. That is because it is much nearer. The sun is really much larger. The sun is a star. It sends out light. The moon is rocky and hard. It doesn’t send out light, it reflects light. This means that the moon doesn’t make its own light. The sun sends out light to the moon. Then the moon sends the sun’s light back to the earth. * True or False? 1. We can see the moon during the day. . 2. The moon is nearer to us than the sun. . 3. The sun reflects the light. . 4.
