W: Exactly。
M: But, wait a minute. Packaging, shipping, financing, etc. willpush up our cost and we could no better off, maybe worse off。

W: What does the term “alternative energy source” mean?
M: When we think of energy or fuel for our homes and cars, wethink of petroleum, a fossil fuel processed from oil removed fromthe ground, of which there was a limited supply. But alternativefuels can be many things. Wind, sun and water can all be used tocreate fuel。
W: Is it a threat of running out of petroleum real?
M: It has taken thousands of years to create the natural storesof petroleum we have now. we are using what is available at a muchfaster rate that it is being produced over time. The realcontroversy surrounding the mass petroleum we have is how much weneed to keep in reserve for future use. Most experts agree that byaround 2025, the petroleum we use will reach a peak. Thenproduction and availability will begin to seriously decline. Thisis not to say there will be no petroleum at this point. But it’llbecome very difficult and therefore expensive to extract。
W: Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fueland energy sources?
M: The two very clear reasons to do so, one is that whether wehave 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find otherfuel sources eventually. So the sooner we start, the better off wewill be. The other big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels,you release substances trapped into the ground for a long time,which leads to some long-term negative effects, like global warmingand greenhouseeffect.
13. What do we usually refer to when we talk about energyaccording to the man?
14. What do most experts agree on according to the man?

Section C
When most people think of the word “education,” they think of apupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing,the teachers are supposed to stuff “education”. But genuineeducation, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago , isnot inserting the stuffing of information into a person ,but rather elicitingknowledge from him. It is the drawing out of what is in the mind。“The most important part of education,” once wrote William ErnestHocking, the distinguished Harvard philosopher, “is thisinstruction of a man in what he has inside him”.
