Nuclear energy is commonly offered as an alternative to overcome
the crisis of energy. The debate whether the use of nuclear energy is an
appropriate choice has not come to an end. Some people agree with the
utilization of it because its benefits. some others, however, disagree
because of its risks to environment.
Those who agree with the operation or nuclear reactors usually
argue that nuclear energy is the only feasible choice to answer the
ever-increasing energy needs.
According to them, the other sources of energy: oil, coal, and
liquid natural gas are not renewable and safe, while nuclear energy can be
sustainably produced in a safe way.
However, people who disagree with the use or nuclear energy
point out the waste of nuclear products completely destroy environment and
human lives.

of soil and water. Take for an example, the blow up of the nuclear reactor at

A fox fell into a well and
couldn’t get out. By and by a thirsty goat came along. Seeing the fox in the
well it asked if the water was good. “Good”, said the fox. “It’s the best
water I’ve tasted in all my life. Come down and try it yourself. “The goat
thought of nothing but how thirsty he was. So he jumped into the well. When
he had drunk enough he looked around but there was no way to get out. Then
the fox said, “I have a good idea. You stand on your hind legs and put your
forelegs against the side of the well. Then I’ll climb on your back, from
there I’ll step on your horns, and I can get out. And when I’m out I’ll help
you out of the well.” The goat did as he was asked and the fox got on his
back and so out of the well. Then he coolly walked away. The goat called
out loudly after him out. The fox
merely turned to him and said, “If you only has as much sense in your head as
you have hairs in your beard you wouldn’t have jumped into the well without
making sure that you could get out
again.

For
many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were the
chimpanzees. Now, however, there is proof that dolphins may be even cleverer
than these big apes.
Although
a dolphin lives in the sea it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many
ways, therefore, like a human being.
Dolphins
have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible
for man to learn how to talk to dolphins. But this will not be easy because
dolphins cannot hear the kind of sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to
dolphins, therefore, he will have to make a third language which both he and
the dolphins can understand.
Dolphins
are also very friendly toward man. They often follow ships. There are many
stories about dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.

Ants are small insect. The body of an ant is clearly divided
into three sections; the head, the thorax, and the gaster. (The narrow waist
is actually within the abdomen, so the part of the abdomen behind the waist
is called the gaster.) The waist can be made up of one or two small segments,
depending on the species.
Ants are social insects living in colonies comprised of one or a
few queens, and many workers. The queen generally stays deep and safe within
a nest. Most ants that you see
are workers and these are all females. Depending on species, workers may be
similar in size, or come in a range of sizes,
Ants tend to corne in dark or earth tones. Different species are
black, earth-tone reds, pale tens, and basic browns.

There are two
reasons why I have decided to attend
First of all,
there is the question of money: Bingston ‘s tuition is reasonable and I don’t
even have to pay it at all at once. This is very important since my father
isn’t rich man. With Bingston’s deferred plan, my father will be able to pay
my tuition without too much difficulty.
The second reason
is the fine education, which I feel I will receive there in agriculture, my
chosen field. It is a well-known fact that Bingston hires only the finest
professors in its agriculture Department.
Moreover, the
university requires all agricultural students to gain practical experience by
working on farms in the area while they are still going to school.
