come from medical sources, nuclear power plants, or laboratories which handle radioactive materials.
Air, soil, and water can be polluted by radioactivity. It can cause damage to animals, both internally
and externally, by eating, drinking, or touching it. It can cause birth defects and genetic problems. It

Elements are the basic substances that we cannot divide into simpler substances. We group elements by
the things they have in common – what they look like, how they react with other substances, if they
conduct electricity, etc. We group elements into nine official groups. The element, “Hydrogen” is in a
group by itself. It is different from all the other elements.
Hydrogen is a basic substance. 90% of all atoms in the universe are hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms
are the lightest atoms. Hydrogen got its name from the scientist Lavoisier. Lavoisier noticed that
hydrogen atoms are always present in water. The word root “Hydro” means water. Therefore, it was
intuitive to represent hydrogen with the letter H.
38. Hydrogen is a basic substance. 90% of all atoms in the universe are hydrogen atoms.
The word “ basic” can be best replaced with ……
A. extra C. additional
B. slight D. vital
Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an eco-friendly
alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights campaigners are worried that this will
lead to destruction of rain forests. Food prices could also go up as there is increased competition for
crops as both foodstuffs and sources of fuel. Last week, the UN warned that biofuels could have
dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that land converted to grow
biofuels does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest. There is already great concern about
palm oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an important biofuel, as rain forests are
being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to create palm oil plantations.

The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts left Earth in 1977 on a five-year mission. Their mission was to reach
Jupiter and Saturn and send information back to earth about them. Jupiter and Saturn are the largest
planets in the solar system. In 1981, they finished their mission. But, they kept going. Scientists
decided to plan a longer trip for them: they would travel even further until they reached Uranus and
Neptune.
Voyagers 1 and 2 are very efficient. They were built with no moving parts. They use the breakdown, or
the decay, of the space element “plutonium” to create fuel. They can each get the equivalent of 30,000
miles per gallon of gasoline! They were made to be able to work in radioactive environments. The “gas
giants” – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune – are very radioactive places.
