Caring for animals, tutoring kids, helping seniors: Volunteer hours are more than a graduation must, they are life lessons.

    Vilma Sooknanan cleans cat cages, Max Carroll teaches children how to cook and Michael Rosenthal rolls wheelchairs at a hospital.

    What does this have to do with high school education?

    Everything.

    The three – and almost all other South Florida high school students – have to go outside of the classroom to earn their diplomas, doing what schools call “community service”.

    Broward public schools require 40 hours to graduate. Palm Beach County public schools require 20, and most private schools require at least that much.

    The purpose: To give students the chance to explore a career and create a habit of volunteering.

    “We hope that when they finish high school they’ll continue service,” says Mike Roland, student activities officer for the Broward School District.

    About half of U.S. public schools require community service, according to a national study. Broward School Board member Bob Parks says encouraging community service has launched all kinds of new projects, including tutoring and food collections.

    Sooknanan, a student at South Broward High School, is part of the Humane Society of Broward County’s volunteer program, which is so popular that even the waiting list is closed. Students work one four-hour shift a week for four months, and leave with 64 volunteer hours.

    Sooknanan changes litter boxes and puts down fresh newspaper for about 100 cats.

    Combined with her volunteer hours at beach cleanups and helping teachers at school, she’s well on her way toward 250 hours, which she hopes will catch the eye of Nova Southeastern University, where she wants to study marine biology.

    Carroll, a junior student at South Plantation High, has connected with FLIPANY, a nonprofit organization that offers cheap physical activity and food to low-income families. He helps teach children about cooking and healthy eating.

    “It has been a life-changing experience,” says Carroll, who is now leaning toward a career as a sports trainer. "I want to find a career encouraging people to lead a healthier lifestyle.”

NEW YORK (Reuters) Electric cars will not be dramatically cleaner than autos powered by fossil fuels until they rely less on electricity produced from usual coal-fired power plants, scientists said on Monday.

"For electric vehicles to become a major green alternative, the power fuel has to move away from coal, or cleaner coal technologies have to be developed," said Jared Cohon, the chair of a National Research Council report released on Monday.

About half of U. S. power is generated (产生) by burning coal, which gives off many times more of traditional pollutants than natural gas, and about twice as much of the main greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.

Nuclear and renewable power would have to generate a larger portion of U. S. power for electric cars to become much greener compared to gasoline-powered cars, Cohan, who is president of Carnegie Mellon University, said in an interview.

Advances in coal burning, like capturing carbon at power plants for permanent burial underground, could also help electric cars become a cleaner alternative to vehicles powered by fossil fuels, he said.

Pollution from energy sources did $120 billion worth of damage to human health, agriculture and recreation in 2008, and electricity was responsible for more than half of file damage, said the NRC report.

Electric cars have their benefits such as reducing imports of foreign oil. But they also have hidden costs.

Materials in electric car batteries are hard to produce, which adds to the energy it takes to make them. In fact, the health and environmental costs of making electric cars can be 20 percent greater than usual cars, the report said.

The report estimated that electric cars could still cost more than gas-powered cars to operate and manufacture in 2030 unless U. S. power production becomes cleaner.

64. Why are electric cars not clean enough?

A. Because they run too slowly.                         B. Because they are too expensive.

C. Because they rely on coal-fired power.           D. Because they give off more carbon dioxide.

65. We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. electric cars will soon take the place of gas-powered cars

B. no one holds hope for electric cars at present

C. electric cars waste more energy than before

D. some people believe that electric cars are more cleaner

66. Which of the following is not mentioned as a way to make electric cars cleaner?

A. Developing cleaner coal technologies.            B. Making electric cars run faster.

C. Generating more nuclear power.                    D. Making advances in coal burning.

67. What kind of attitude the writer holds towards the future of electric cars?

A. The writer thinks highly of electric cars.

B. The writer believes electric cars will disappear in the end.

C. The writer thinks it' s hard to popularize electric cars at present.

D. The writer thinks it' s impossible for us to use electric cars before 2030.
