There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to using horses, carriages and bicycles.
In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas made from petroleum(石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.
Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity(电) to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal(煤) and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines(涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.
We are also able to get power from the ocean tides. We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again.
Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future?

     "What would you do if you were the mayor (市长) of your city?" We asked some students from
different cities in Anhui. Here's what they said:
      Deng Chuan, 15, from Hefei
      With the development of modern industry, more and more waste water is being poured into the
Fei River, It has caused serious pollution. The river is becoming so dirty that few living things can live
in it. So, if I were the mayor, I would order all the factories that pour the waste water into the river to
close down. As we all know, water is very important to our lives. So it is very important to protect water.
      Zhang Yan, 14, from Wuhu
      Our city is more and more beautiful. But sometimes it's not convenient for the blind. There are not
enough pavements (人行道) in our city. Some of the old ones are broken. They may not be safe to walk
on! If I were the mayor of our city, I would build more pavements for the blind.
      Wang Lili, 16, from Chaohu
      There are more and more old people in our city. And there are not enough places for them to relax
and enjoy themselves. So, if I were the mayor, I would build an activity center in each residential (住宅)
area for the old. So old people can play cards or chess. This will make old people not feel lonely and spend
