You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (來源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (風(fēng)車) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started being concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.風(fēng)能早在公元前七世紀(jì)就開始被人們用風(fēng)車所利用，當(dāng)人們發(fā)明了電以后，風(fēng)能被用來發(fā)電，但隨著電的廣泛使用，風(fēng)車逐漸不被人們使用了。3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.B．Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.C．Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.D．50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit.答案：B。offence points；or temporarily banned from driving.The same punishment applies to failing to provide speeimens(樣本) for breath，blood or urine tests without good excuse.Drink driving is a criminal a responsible driver，think before you drink.
