and grasses to agricultural and city life wastes biomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.According to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), because the energy it contains es from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun’s energy. In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery(電池) for storing the sun’s energy. As long as biomass is produced continuously – with only as much grown as is used – the ―battery‖ lasts forever.According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between and percent of the nation’s total electricity supply. In 2008—although the numbers aren’t all in yet – wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.6Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may save homeowners’ money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.72. Why is biomass considered as ―a sort of natural battery‖?A. It burns merely plant matter. B. It keeps producing electricity.C.

I wonder if you could sell some Chinese knots for me. I made them myself with red silk threads, cloth and other materials.

People can either give them as gifts to friends or hang them in their house. They are only US dollars each. If anyone wants to know more about the knots, let them write to me. Also, do let me know if you need further information. Thank you!
