cheap and plentiful that the whole world came to depending on                  S3.______

Many people are surprising when they learn how many items                      S5.______

how they can make better use of the two other major fuels,
coal and natural gas, but they have found that neither can take place          S8.______
of oil in their economies. In recent years there has been a
growing concern for the environment, and coal is a popular fuel                S9.______
with environmentalists. Coal mines are ugly, and their development
has a serious effect on animal and plant life;
coal itself is a heavy pollution.                                              S10.______
