29、urces, however, is that they are not renewable.Another way is energy conservation(節(jié)能), which means using energy more efficiently(有效地). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materialsbetween the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the

30、cold out and the warmthin. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of

31、 theearth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down. At six kilometres, therefore,it rises to nearly two hundred degrees.

37、 of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen.
