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 oil runs out? Perhaps we will go back to use our horses, carriages(马车) 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 electricity! Some countries have coal and 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(海潮). We put turbines into the mouth of the river. When the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and when it goes out, it turns them again.

Once there was a forest where all the animals lived happily together. One day a family went to spend the day in the forest, and the son left his socks there. After the family left, a bear came by, found the socks, and decided to try them on. They fit so well, and he liked them so much that he wouldn’t take them off.

All the animals talked about the bear’s new look. Soon, in that forest, there began appearing squirrels in shirts, rabbits in shoes, and even rats wearing hats! The forest doctor shook his head, telling animals, “This can’t be good. Animals don’t need clothes!” But no one listened to him. They said he was just out of fashion.

However, it wasn’t long before the first results of fashion-fever came. Several times the squirrel caught his shirt on trees, stopping him in mid-jump and sending him falling to the ground from a tree. The rat couldn’t go into his hole without taking off his hat first. Even the bear, because of his socks, slipped from the river rock and almost killed himself.

When the animals came to see the doctor, he gave them all the same advice, “Take off those clothes before one day they’re going to kill you.” Those who listened to the doctor’s advice stopped having accidents. And the animals realized that they didn’t need clothes at all. Starting to wear them had been very dangerous, and they had only done it to make others admire them, and to get attention.
