28、,” a young mother named Shoba said one recent Saturday morning, pointing to a row of pails filled with thick, caramel (焦糖)-colored liquid. “Whoever drinks it will die.” The water was from a pipe shared by thousands of people in the poor neighborhood.

DSolar energy for your home is coming. It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether
45、or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor and the type of home you have is another.

46、w, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. Sooner or later Mother Nature will say thats all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun. We wont h
47、ave to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides, the sun doesnt offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel(矿物燃料) adds to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we won
48、t need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.With all these good points, why dont we 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
49、 energy. All that is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts 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
