Unit 1 Banana Electricity
Reading Comprehension
Australia's banana farmers had a problem. Each year, they had too many
bananas. When the farmers sold their bananas, there were always extras.
Some bananas were too small, and some were too old. So, the Australian
farmers just threw the extra bananas away. They threw away 20,000 tons of
bananas a year. That‟s a lot of bananas. They thought this was wasteful, and the
old bananas were bad for the land.
Then some scientists at Queensland University had an idea. They wanted to
turn the extra bananas into electricity. When bananas get old, they put
chemicals into the air. Scientists can use these chemicals __________ ___
. Today, the scientists are testing their idea.
If it works, Australia‟s extra bananas could give electricity to over 500 families!
