Answer to Question 1

In recent years, scientists have been experimenting with new and more efficient windmills. The new structures appear
to be more like tall wind towers equipped with propeller blades. New technology has improved propeller blades



Answer to Question 2

The potential of tidal power is estimated at 2.9 million megawatts of power daily. The principal drawback of tidal
power is the massive dams and levees that must be constructed initially.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
