He suggested that the boy lookaround the palace and return in two hours.“Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something,” said the wise man, handing the boy ateaspoon that held two drops of oil. “As you wander around, carry this spoon with you withoutallowing the oil to spill.”T

Did yousee the garden that took the master gardener ten years to create?” The bo
16、y was embarrassed, andreplied that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil. “Then go back and observe the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. The boy picked upthe spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace. This time he observed all of the works ofart on
17、 the ceilings and the walls. When he returned, he described in detail everything he had seen.“But where are the drops of oil?” asked the wise man.

25、ted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in thewater and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the WaveEnergy Group at the University of Edinburgh. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves,” hesaid. Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most
26、waves are created whenwinds blow across the ocean. “The wind starts out by making little ripples(涟 漪 ), but if they keepon blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” Taylor said. “Waves are oneof natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.” When wa
27、ves cometoward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheelcalled a turbine（ 涡 轮 机 ） . The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produceelectricity.“The resource is huge,” said Janet Swain of the World Watch Institute. “We will never runout of wa
28、ve power.” Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. Oceans cover three quarters of the Earths surfacethat would makewave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weakpoints yet to overcome.Swain said
29、 that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on seaanimals are still unknown. What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic.Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. “Demand for energy to powerour TVs and computers, drive our
30、cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughoutthe world,” Swain said. In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providingthe electricity!25.

It can be inferred that someday we might not worry about .A. our power supplyB. our boat trafficC. air pollutionD. our supply of sea fish
