THE UTOPIA OF SHARING IN ONEIDA

Nineteenth-century visitors to the Oneida Village in central New York State found a family of 300
members who lived in a large beautiful house and shared everything.

Twenty-first century visitors who stay in one of Oneida's eight guest rooms pay $ 100 for a
comfortable bedroom, a simple breakfast and a private tour of the 10.300-square- meter museum
house. Which also contains 35 private apartments.

Like me, many visitors had relatives among those nineteenth - century dreamers. Others just want
to see for themselves the building where it is said that the most successful social group in American
history lived .

"I don't know of anywhere else where you can live in a museum ," said the director of Oneida House.
"It' s very unusual.”

A man named John Humphrey Noyes and a small group of people moved to New York State in 1848.
They wanted a place where they could live according to their particular beliefs, in their efforts to
create a more equal society.

They owners share the building with guests who stay in large comfortably- furnished bedrooms with
private baths. The library and lounge and the grounds of the building are open to guests, as are
several of the museum's public rooms.

The old library, unchanged from the nineteenth century, holds a rich ; collection of
nineteenth-century books and magazines, which learners ; used to study Latin and Greek, algebra
and astronomy.

TOMORROW'S CARS
CO2 , a gas that is part of the atmosphere, is important for many parts of nature like plants, as it helps them
make their own food. We make CO2 when we use petrol cars. This is now dangerous for our world because
these cars have sent a lot of CO2 into the air. Then, using electric cars instead of petrol cars is one excellent
way to stop problems like changes in the weather. In the United Kingdom not many cars are electric; so the
government, those who are the managers of the country, believes there is a lot to do to make electric cars a
good change and have a better world to live in. They also believe that it will help the UK become the first
country in the world to make cars that send much less CO2 into the air.
Some pro-nature groups that work to make the world better believe this plan will not work and say that it is
too late to stop CO2 from petrol cars.
In the past two years, the British government has spent billions of pounds studying how to make electric cars
and how to make the British use them. Now they are ready to help companies make more electric cars and less
petrol ones and hybrid cars, which work with both petrol and electricity.

B. Other plants.
0. What do plants need to make their food? C. All parts of nature.

A. Some plants.
26. What puts the world in danger? B. Too much gas.
