27、he modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of mans needs.

28、ave existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel, and copper and so on exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.

29、 past mainly by Oriental peoples. Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy.

When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. . You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy

38、 an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an of-ficial U. S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires or war.
