问题                         New Energy Source
   Solar energy for your home is coming. It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor. The type of home you have is another. Things like present energy costs and the type of system you buy are added factors.
   Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. And when Mother Nature says that’ s all, the only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun. We won’t have to worry about the sun’ s running out of energy for another several billion years or so.
   Besides being an endless source of energy, the use of the sun has other advantages as well. The sun doesn’ t offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel plants add to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we won’ t need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.
   With all these good points, why don’ t we use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy.
   That is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed. Solar energy is now in its infancy. It could soon grow to become a major part of our nation’ s energy supply.
One of the important reasons that people don’ t want to use solar energy is that they don’ t know how to use it in their house.
选项 A、TRUE
B、FALSE
C、Not Given
答案C
解析 题干要求判断人们不愿意用太阳能的原因之一是他们不知道在家里怎么使用这种能源。根据第四段的讲述，我们得知“The biggest reason is money”，但是没有明确告诉我们题干中提到的原因是否存在，所以无法判断题干是否正确。
