V. Read the passage carefully , then answer the questions .
1. In Britain , natural gas is the most popular fuel for heating homes , and for cooking . It is piped all over the country from the gas fields below the North Sea . Natural gas is used chiefly as a direct source of energy , although it is also used in the chemical industry . At the moment the supply is plentiful , but it will be running short by the end of the century , and will run out during the 21st century unless new supplies are found .

However , it is a form of energy which is not only cheap , but also highly efficient .
