Unit1As is well known, the energy crisis has been with us for a long time, and will be with us for an even longer time. It has become evident in the past few years that the amount of fossil fuel in the earth’s substrata is not an infinite source of energy.Due toa steady increase in industrial and technological demand, an energy shortage is highly probable if the industrializednations do not conserve existing resources and establish alternative ones .The fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas, are rapidly diminishing in supply as consumption increases. Clearly, a replacement for these natural sources of energy is required. Several possible alternatives have been suggested , such as solar, geothermal and nuclear energy.Solar energy has the obvious advantage thatthe sun is an inexhaustible and abundant source which is free of both pollution and radioactivity.A lot of research is currently directed at discovering ways of harnessing solar power cheaply and efficiently, and of storing solar energy in reasoning small spaces.Geothermal energy, which involves stored underground reservoirs of steam, is also pollution-free. Nuclear fission, a process whereby a uranium nucleus absorbs a neutron, is not. The reaction causes the nucleus to split into higher elements, producing a large quantity of heat. The by-products of this reaction are dangerously radioactive.众所周知，能源危机已经伴随我们很长时间，并将与我们更长的时间。它在过去几年已经变得很明显，在地球的基质的化石燃料的量是不是一个无限的能量源。利用工业和技术的持续的需求，如果工业化国家不节约现有资源和建立替代的能源短缺是非常可能的。化石燃料，煤，石油和天然气，迅速减少供应的消费增长。显然，这些天然能源的替代是必需的。几个可能的替代方案已经被提出，如太阳能，地热能和核能。太阳能具有明显的优势，太阳是一个取之不尽、用之不竭的丰富来源，这是免费的污染和放射性的。现在大量的研究集中在发现太阳能利用廉价和有效的方式，并在推理小的空间存储太阳能。地热能源，包括地下蒸汽储藏的，也无公害。核裂变，一个铀原子核吸收一个中子，不。该反应导致原子核分裂成更高的元素，产生大量的热。该反应的副产物是危险的放射性。Unit2On an average of six times a day, a doctor in Holland practices active euthanasia: intentionally administering a lethal drug to a terminally ill patient who has asked to be relieved of suffering.
