V. Read the passage, then answer the questions 
When man first appeared on earth, his greatest source of power was his own physical strength. As he grew wiser, he learned to make animals supply power for him. Then, many centuries later, he discovered that wind and water were even better power sources than animals. Still later he found that power from steam, coal, and oil was often even better than these. 
In the lastest search for improved living, physicists-scientists who study energy and matter- have been led to the study of the atom. The physicists have found that atomic energy can do such things as supplying electricity to cities, blasting out harbors, running ships and submarines and may soon provide energy for space flights.
Finding ways to make the atom work for us is a new science. It just started in the twentieth century. However, by working with atoms, scientists have found that these tiny storehouses of energy can both help and, unfortunately, harm mankind.
