Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels. Burning them increases the amount of greenhouse gas (1) ___ in the atmosphere. If we continue to use fossil fuels the way we do now, we will soon run (2) ___ of them. Fortunately, we no longer have to depend only on fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas. We can use renewable energy from sources such as wind, rain, waves, and sunlight, which can be replaced (3) ____. In addition, such energy has a low (4) ____ impact. Renewable energy used to be very expensive. In recent years, (5) ____ it has become cheaper and easier to produce thanks to technological advances. Wind energy is one of the (6) ____ and most sustainable type of energy. It does not release carbon emissions and is entirely renewable as there will always be wind. Solar power is the most (7) ____ source of renewable energy. It exists in large quantities and is freely available. It is also completely renewable as the (8) ____ will keep on shining. Hydropower, a form of renewable energy that uses the force of fast-moving water to produce electricity, is even more reliable than solar or wind power.

1 (trang 43 SBT Tiếng Anh 11 Global Success): Read the text. Match the headings (A-F) below with the paragraphs (1-4). There are TWO extra headings. (Đọc văn bản. Nối các tiêu đề (A-F) bên dưới với các đoạn văn (1-4). Có HAI tiêu đề phụ.)

A. Hopes for the future

B. Methane emissions in Canada and Brazil

C. The cow mask and its uses

D. Efforts to reduce methane emissions

E. Keeping cows healthy

F. Cows, methane, and global warming

Methane-catching masks for cows

1. ___

There are more than one billion cows in the world, and cow farming is a large source of methane emissions. This colorless and odorless gas is much more powerful than CO2 at warming the earth.

2. ___

Farmers and companies are developing solutions for decreasing cows' methane emissions. In Canada and Brazil, farmers started adding a special ingredient to their animals' feed to reduce cows' methane production. In New Zealand, scientists are working on a vaccine that can cut methane emissions. Rather than stopping methane emissions, a UK company has designed face masks to catch the gas before it is released.

3. _____

The masks will allow cows to continue their normal diet but will turn methane into CO2 and water. They can fit comfortably on the cow's head and can be adjusted to different head sizes. Sensors on the masks can notice when methane comes out of the cow's mouth and provide the percentage of the gas. This information can also be useful for farmers who can use it to identify the early signs of disease. For example, if a cow eats less, but produces more methane than usual, it may have a health problem.

4. ____

It is predicted that the need for beef and dairy products will go up in the coming years. The company developing the methane-catching masks hopes that farmers will start using their invention, which will slow down global warming.
