Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
There are several methods to generate electricity such as using fossil fuels and nuclear fission. However, burning fossil fuels pollutes the atmosphere and rivers. Besides, they are expensive and limited sources of energy. Similarly, using nuclear fission also harms the environment because it forms dangerous radioactive waste. In contrast, making electricity from sunlight is cleaner and safer.
Sunlight offers many ways to get energy. For instance, a window can allow warm sunlight into your room, or solar water-heating systems can use it to warm water for houses, swimming pools and schools. In addition, sunlight also warms the Earth and causes wind which can be exploited to generate electricity. Lastly, Photovoltaic, or PV systems use a type of material that converts sunlight into electricity. PV systems can power air conditioners or satellites like the International Space Station. They are also used to run calculators, recharge cell phones, or even power lightweight cars.
Sunlight creates a large amount of environmentally friendly heat and electricity. Therefore, it can be an alternative source of energy today and in the future.

Traveling is one of the most popular forms of recreation in the USA. Most American employees receive an annual vacation with pay, and it is a good time off for traveling. Traveling within the country is popular because foreign travel generally takes more time and money. However, Americans who wish to vacation outside the USA are free to go almost anywhere. Obtaining a passport is a routine matter.
Every year about 13 million Americans travel abroad. The most popular vacation periods are during the summer and during the two-week school break on the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. These periods are also the most crowded and generally the most expensive time to travel, so people who can adjust their schedules sometimes choose vacation in the autumn. American vacationers often travel by car. Most families have a car, and those who do not have a car can rent one. Cars are usually the economical way to travel, especially for the families. It is also fairly fast and convenient. Excellent highways connect the major cities. They enable vacationers to travel at an almost steady speed of 55 to 65 miles an hour. Tourists that want to travel faster often fly to their destination and then rent a car to go around when they get there.
