Even so, it represents power of abou
37、t 5,000,000 horsepower (马力) per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every miunte as mankind utilizes in a year.

43、.C.D.九、BPassage Five/(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today.

44、lth and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which

Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then r
