recognises the benefits of new developments in communications technology. Indeed,
some people fear that text messaging may actually be having a negative effect on young people's
communication and language skills, especially when we hear that primary school children may be at risk
of becoming addicted to the habit. So widespread has texting become, however, that even pigeons have
started doing it. (35)
in this case, it's difficult to view the results as anything but positive.
Twenty of the birds are about to take to the skies with the task of measuring air pollution, each (36)
with sensor equipment and a mobile phone. The readings made by the sensors will be
automatically converted into text messages and beamed to the Internet - (37)
they will
appear on a dedicated 'pigeon blog'. The birds will also each have a GPS receiver and a camera to capture
aerial photos, and researchers are building a tiny ‘pigeon kit' containing all these gadgets. Each bird will
carry these in a miniature backpack, (38)
that is, from the camera, which will hang around
its neck. The data the pigeons text will be displayed in the form of an interactive map, which will provide
local residents with up-to-the-minute information on their local air quality.

following questions from
In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a
greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily
available, renewable resources that are both cost-effective and earth - friendly. Two such resources are
solar power and geothermal power,
Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs of
worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use of
photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In the us alone, more than 100, 000 homes are
equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the
world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant în specific geographical areas, is geothermal
power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam that
are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which produces
electricity. Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel
