PartⅢTrue or False Questions 21-30 are based on Passage 3. Passage 3 What Americans Have Been Doing to Save Energy In 1973,the OPEC countries raised the price of oil.They have been raising the price once or twice a year since then.This change caused many serious problems with the economies of the big industrial countries such as the United States,Japan,and West Germany.In 1973,there were long lines at gas stations all over the United States. Sometimes people had to wait hours to buy gas.Americans began to change their way of thinking about energy. Before 1973,most Americans owned big cars.The typical American car was a huge one,and it used a lot of gas,but the increase in the price of oil changed this.Since 1973, more and more Americans have been buying small foreign cars because they use less gas. Because of this,the American automobile industry has not been doing very well for about six or seven years.The four major automobile companies in the United States have been losing money.Their car designers have been working hard to design smaller cars that use less gas. Americans love their cars.When gas was cheap,Americans drove everywhere,even to buy something at a store two or three blocks away.On Sundays many families got into the car and went for a ride for an hour or two.Because of the high price of gas,many Americans have been changing their ideas about driving. Today Americans are worried about saving energy in their homes,too.Before OPEC raised oil prices,the typical American home and office building was too warm in the winter and too cool in the summer.Since 1973,Americans have been more careful with heating and air conditioning.Many families turn down the heat to 15'C at night and 18'C during the day. Perhaps because of this,companies that make long underwear have been doing very well since 1973. People have been looking everywhere to find ways to save heating oil and electricity. Many people have been buying old-fashioned stoves so as to burn wood.Most people have been more careful to turn off electric lights.For several years the government has been giving tax money back to people when they improve their homes to save energy.For example,when people spend money to put new and better windows on their houses,the government returns some of their tax money. 943
