Exercise 3. Read the text and write the main idea of it; translate it into Russian:

Using the Earth's Resources

The term "energy shortage", when used to say that the world is running out of energy resources, is not correct. The world is not short of energy resources. Man's need is to convert sufficient amounts of the earth's energy into usable products as population and demand grow.

There is a continuous flow of energy into and out of the Earth's surface environment. The largest source of the energy flow is solar radiation. It is an unlimited source of energy. Most solar energy is unused. Only a small part of it is caught by plant leaves and stored as chemical energy. It becomes the source of food energy for humans and animals.

Solar energy is the original source of fossil fuels, too. Through the ages the remains of plants and animals have been stored in the earth and have become our source of coal, oil and natural gas. But these resources may last two - three centuries. These fossil fuels are limited and non-renewable in the next million years.

Man must not only convert these fossil fuels into useable energy. But he must also create and adapt energy from other sources. These sources known as renewable are: wind, water, the Sun, geothermal processes and nuclear fission. For example, man can convert solar energy directly to electricity. Synthetic oil and gas can be produced from coal. These are the aims of today’s technologies. Man’s activity in this sphere offers hope for the future.

Exercise 4. Read the text, rewrite it and translate into Russian:

Oil Business

Do you know that nowadays speaking about all the activities connected with oil and gas business the petroleum experts use three terms: upstream, midstream and downstream.

To start the story of oil business one should know something about the origin of petroleum. Most geologists believe that oil is of organic origin, i.e. (that is), it originated from decomposition of mainly marine animals and plants buried under thick layers of mud perhaps as long as 400-500 million years ago. These deposits rich in organic material became the source rocks (sedimentary rocks) for the generation of crude oil...
