Energy is everywhere. We use energy to move the mouse for a computer,to jump,shout,walk and run.

  Electricity is a form of energy and it is what powers the TV,hairdryer,mobile,fridge,electric toothbrush and more!Our growing need for energy is one of the problems of the world today,because producing electricity also produces pollution.

  Here are some simple ways to make a big difference when using electricity.

  On or off? Leaving televisions and computers on with the little red light showing still uses electricity,even though they might look like they're turned off. To stop this you can turn them off on the wall.

  Lights off!Turning off lights when you're not in the room can save a lot of energy.

  Fridge door closed. The fridge is an important part of the kitchen. It keeps food fresh,cool and healthy!But it takes a lot of energy to keep cool,so help it by not leaving the fridge door open or putting hot things inside.

  Use the sun's energy. An increasing number of people are fitting solar panels (太陽能板) to their houses. They create electricity from sunlight,which can then be used to power their homes. Solar heating panels make hot water,reducing the need for electricity or gas to heat water.

It keeps food fresh,cool and healthy！"可知，冰箱"了以保持食物新鮮、涼爽和健康，排除"根據(jù)第二段最后一句中的"producing electricity also produces pollution"可知，我們發(fā)電的時(shí)候也產(chǎn)生污染，排除D.
