Get aboard if you want to learn more about this underground transportation system. This is an unusual form of transportation, because it is a tunnel that trains travel through an
22、d not an actual form of transportation. The Chunnel is actually the English nickname for the Channel Tunnel. In French, it is called le tunnel sous la Manche. It is a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover. It connects Cheriton in Kent, England with Sangatte in northern Fran
23、ce. It is the second longest rail tunnel in the world.Did you know that the British and the French had a race whi1e they were building the Chunnel? The race was to see who could get to the middle of the tunnel first. The British won by a little bit. It took 15,000 workers over seven years to dig the
24、 tunnel. The tunnel was finished in 1994.The completed Chunnel cost about $ 21 billion. But it all paid off, because it became very popular, very quick. Millions of people use it. Now it is getting even more popular.There are three complete tunnels in the Chunnel. The two outside ones are the passen
25、ger trains. The small inner one is a guidance train. The guidance train is not used for transportation.

Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kinds of things they do.The quickest way to make a
29、 friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about
30、how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesnt it make you want to keep talking to that person?Ask your new friends questions about themselves.

31、ou have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them.

34、years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didnt have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either. Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noi
35、se pollution makes us talk louder and become angry easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It is bad for all living things in the world. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. We need to do many other things. We should put waste things in the dustbins instead of on
36、the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, less pollution will be made. Rules are not enough to solve the problems.

He and other scientists wanted to find a source of f
40、uel that poor people in rural areas of developing countries could use to make electricity.The United Nations Development Program says a billion and a half people have no electricity. A billion others have an undependable supply. Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural Indonesia. He saw that t
41、here was very little waste in the use of agricultural products. Everything that farmers grew was used for something. Even the remains of fruit that people did not eat were fed to chickens.Little waste meant there was little that could be used for fuel. Growing a separate fuel crop would take land aw
42、ay from food crops. That was something Professor DeBolt did not want to do. DeBOLT said, The people at most risk with respect to energy poverty, typically theyre the same people who have food insecurity issues as it is. And then any change in availability would be most damaging to that group of peop
43、le. But he found one item that was in plentiful supply and would not create competition between food and fuel. Coconut shells are generally thrown out. Yet Professor DeBolt says it has an excellent heating value. All someone needs is a way to release that energy. DeBolt says he and his team see poss
44、ibilities for coconut power. Coconuts are growing here and these are the areas where there is possibility for energy poverty to be eased at least in part by these small-scale production systems. The researchers say these systems could provide as much as thirteen percent of the energy needs of a coun
45、try like Indonesia. Other tropical countries with large crops of coconuts and similar fruit could benefit, as well. But DeBolt says this is not a perfect solution. There are technical questions, like how to safely deal with the dangerous waste produced in the process. And there needs to be money to
46、get these projects started.15Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural areas of developing countries to . A. help farmers make full use of waste B. seek certain materials to make electricity C. persuade farmers to grow more coconuts D. find a suitable place to carry out the experiment16DeBolt thought it was not a good idea to grow fuel crops because . A. there are plenty of coconuts B. local farmers have no interest in it C. it would make food problems worse
