I grew up in a remote village. There was no such thing as a book in most families. It was at the school library that I 1 (discover) the joy of reading.

Wind is one of our cleanest and most abundant power sources. Europe is leading the way in wind power. Nearly 75% of all turbines(风力发电机) 4 (locate) there. The country that produces the most energy from wind is Germany. However, Germany 5 (consume) a lot of energy, and wind only supplies about 5% of all its electrical needs. Denmark is the global leader in this field, which uses wind 6 (supply) almost 20% of its energy.

Those people are marine archaeologists, 10 study underwater historical sites.
