Saving Energy
Just a century ago, humans used very little energy because we had less of the
things that consume it. There were no computers, phones, TV, cars, lights, washing
machines and all that. After the industrial revolution, people started using a lot more
manufactured items such as electronics, automobiles, and home appliances. These
items use a lot of energy, but if we all cut its use by half, that would be huge savings,
and make a great difference.
Saving energy can be achieved in different ways: 1. Energy conservation, 2. Energy
Efficiency, and 3. Recycling. These first two are not the same, even though people
often use them to mean the same thing.
1- Energy Conservation: This is the practice that results in less energy being
used. For instance, turning the taps, computers, lights, and TV off when not in use.
It also includes running in the park or outside instead of running on the treadmill in
the gym. Energy conservation is great because we can all do this everywhere and
anytime. It is a fundamental behavior we must acquire.
2- Energy Efficiency: This is the use of manufacturing techniques and technology
_______ produce things that use less energy for the same result. For example, if a
heater is designed to warm your home with less energy than regular heaters, that
would be an energy efficient heater. If your washing machine uses less energy to
do the same job as other washers, that is an energy efficient washer. An interesting
fact is that homes built in the U.S. after 2000 are about 30% bigger, but they use
less energy than older homes.
3- Recycling: This involves the use of waste or old materials to make new ones,
like collecting all old newspapers from the town at the end of every day and turning
the papers into fresh paper for printing again. We can collect all plastic bottles and
send them to be used for new plastic bottles or used for children plastic toys. Recycling saves energy __________ less energy is used to recycle than to turn new
raw materials into new products.
This means that to save energy, we should use all these great ways. If we all try to
do this, together we can save some money and use less natural resources too.

Read the following text and answer question.
Introduction to global food loss and food waste
Food losses and food waste are quickly becoming a top global issue, because while there are millions of families with children starving, others are living in abundance, with many others carelessly throwing food away. Many of us have wasted food in one way or the other, but the real food losses and waste matter is ______ than just consumer food waste.
From farming fields and storage places, through transportation, processing, market places, down to
consumption places such as homes, schools, restaurants and workplaces, more than half of all food
produced globally go to waste. This is a tragedy!
In developing countries, it takes a lot of man-power to produce food. In more advanced countries, machines and technology are used, but the drain on energy, destruction of vegetative lands, the use of chemicals and ______ impact on the environment are phenomenal. Putting all that together, it is clear that a major problem has emerged and we are all in a position to help in one way or the other.

Here’s why we’ll never be able to build a brain in a computer
It’s easy to equate brains and computers – they’re both thinking
machines, after all. But the comparison doesn’t really stand up to
closer inspection, as Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett reveals.
People often describe the brain as a computer, as if neurons are
like hardware and the mind is software. But this metaphor is
deeply flawed.
A computer is built from static parts, whereas your brain
constantly rewires itself as you age and learn. A computer stores
information in files that are retrieved exactly, but brains don’t
store information in any literal sense. Your memory is a constant
construction of electrical pulses and swirling chemicals, and the
same remembrance can be reassembled in different ways at
different times.
Brains also do something critical that computers today can’t. A
computer can be trained with thousands of photographs to
recognise a dandelion as a plant with green leaves and yellow
petals. You, however, can look at a dandelion and understand
that in different situations it belongs to different categories. A
dandelion in your vegetable garden is a weed, but in a bouquet
from your child it’s a delightful flower. A dandelion in a salad is
food, but people also consume dandelions as herbal medicine.
In other words, your brain effortlessly categorises objects by
their function, not just their physical form. Some scientists
believe that this incredible ability of the brain, called ad hoc
category construction, may be fundamental to the way brains
work.
Also, unlike a computer, your brain isn’t a bunch of parts in an
empty case. Your brain inhabits a body, a complex web of
systems that include over 600 muscles in motion, internal organs,
a heart that pumps 7,500 litres of blood per day, and dozens of
hormones and other chemicals, all of which must be coordinated,
continually, to digest food, excrete waste, provide energy and
fight illness.[…]
If we want a computer that thinks, feels, sees or acts like us, it
must regulate a body – or something like a body – with a complex
collection of systems that it must keep in balance to continue
operating, and with sensations to keep that regulation in check.
Today’s computers don’t work this way, but perhaps some
engineers can come up with something that’s enough like a body
to provide this necessary ingredient.
For now, ‘brain as computer’ remains just a metaphor.
Metaphors can be wonderful for explaining complex topics in
simple terms, but they fail when people treat the metaphor as an
explanation. Metaphors provide the illusion of knowledge.

Organ Donation and Transplant
At this moment, more than 113,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ.
One more person is added to the national waiting list every 12 minutes.
Each of these people is in desperate need of a kidney, liver, heart, or other organ.
More than 6,500 people a year -- about 20 a day -- die before that organ ever
becomes available.
Organ donors are always in short supply. There are far more people in need of a
transplant than there are people willing to donate an organ.
Most of the organs that are available come from deceased donors. When you fill
out an organ donor card with your driver's license, you're agreeing to donate all or
some of your organs if you die.
A smaller number of organs come from healthy people. More than 6,000
transplants from living donors are performed each year.
You might have wondered about donating an organ -- either to a friend or relative
who needs an organ right now, or by filling out an organ donor card.
Just about anyone, at any age, can become an organ donor. Anyone younger than
age18 needs to have the consent of a parent or guardian.
For organ donation after death, a medical assessment will be done to determine what
organs can be donated. Certain conditions, such as having HIV, actively
spreading cancer, or severe infection would exclude organ donation.
Having a serious condition like cancer, HIV, diabetes, kidney disease, or heart
disease can prevent you from donating as a living donor.
“Anyone YOUNGER THAN age 18 needs to have the consent of a parent or guardian. (lines 15-16). The
