by a thirsty goat came along. Seeing the fox in the
well it asked if the water was good. “Good,” said
the fox, “It’s the best water I’ve tasted in all my
life. Come down and try it yourself.”

was no way to get out. Then the fox said, “I have a
good idea. You stand on your hind legs and put
your forelegs against the side of the well. Then I’ll
climb on your back, from there. I’ll step on your
horns, and I can get out. And when I’m out, I’ll help
you out of the well.”

Pros and Cons of Family Planning Program
Most people agree that the family planning
programmer is needed for the good of family and
society. But individuals and religious groups differ
sharply on the methods of birth control that they
consider moral and acceptable.
Couples that practice birth control do so for various
reasons. They may want to limit or space their
children, or to have no children at all. Young
couples often delay having children so that both
partners can work full-time. Other couples space
their children so they can give each as much
attention as possible. Some women are advised by
their doctor to avoid pregnancy for health reasons.
In many countries with rapidly growing
populations, the government encourages couples to
limit the number of their families.
Even though birth control has gained in acceptance,
opposition to the practice is continuous. Some
people fear that birth control encourages sexual
outside marriage or that government might impose
birth control. Some religious groups oppose birth
control on moral grounds.
Some religious groups teach that artificial methods
of birth control are immoral because they separate
the purposes of intercourse in marriage-conjugal
love and the procreation of children. Although they
oppose all artificial birth control, they consider
natural family planning to be acceptable.
Some religious groups refuse to use … birth control
because of moral values.

Will solar energy ever be a main source of
energy for industrial societies? The solar energy is
cheaper than any fossil fuel because we can get the
abundant source of energy from the sun.
In sunny deserts, the sun’s radiation that
reaches the ground can be used to produce
electricity for industries and homes. In one of
experiment, solar ponds can produce hot water to
drive generators.
Unfortunately, we can’t power our homes
entirely on sunlight. Solar energy can only be
exploited in bright light. Its great potential,
therefore, is in countries that have clear skies for
most of the year. Most houses, however, are not in
the sunniest part of the world. In addition to convert
sunlight directly into electricity, solar cells are
needed. Although they are very cheap to run,
relatively they are expensive to buy and many
people can’t afford them.
Which of the following can produce hot water to
drive generators?
 Solar car
 Solar cells
 Solar ponds
 Solar heating
 Solar batteries
