A few days after I started work, I realised that the apron I wore with the golden company emblem was useful for storing apples. I could stuff as many apples as possible and no one would suspect a thing. Sure, the apron sagged with the pockets reaching below my knees but so did the others with sandwiches inside. By the end of my first week, I followed a routine. I made sure I ate two of the apples for lunch and the rest, I hid in the thermos where I had already drained my coffee. If it was a good day, I would hide the rest of the apples between two thick layers of cloth that I used to drape over my bicycle after I arrived at work. I spent most of my time at the pier. In the beginning, I did little except observe while the others knocked tirelessly at the wooden and metal planks. There were times when I despised the backbreaking tasks. I was not more than five feet and | weighed one hundred pounds. Yet, once I was familiar with the tasks, I was not exempted from anything. Workers carrying metal planks that were twice their weight were commonplace. At the end of the first month, I was exuberant. I received my first cheque. Life was getting better. I was still helping myself to the apples that rolled out from the cartons whenever the movers were transporting them to the ships. (Comprehension Fast Forward 6 – J.

The faster a given object is moving, the more energy it possesses. This kind of energy is called “kinetic energy,” from the Greek word kinesis, meaning motion. The faster a given object is moving, the greater its kinetic energy. Imagine you’re trying to hit a target with a bow and arrow. If you just throw the arrow with your hand, it won’t go very fast, and even if your aim is good, the arrow won’t penetrate the target – it’ll just bounce off! But if you use the bow, you can shoot the arrow much faster. The faster the arrow is going, the more kinetic energy it has. Kinetic energy is what allows the arrow to puncture the target. Energy can never be created or destroyed, only transferred – moved from place to place. One way energy is moved from place to place is by moving objects. . Hut Imagine hitting a tee ball with a bat. When you hit the ball with the bat, energy is transferred from the bat to the ball. If you swing the bat slowly, the ball won’t go very far when you hit it. But if you swing the bat faster, it will have more kinetic energy. That energy will be transferred to the ball, and the ball will go much farther. Energy can also be transferred through sound. Try high-fiving your friend very slowly. You probably won’t make very much sound. If you high-five at the normal speed, your hands each have more kinetic energy, and you’ll make a nice smack. What you’re hearing is energy turned into sound. The same thing happens when you hit a drum, or pluck the strings of a guitar. Energy can also be transferred through light. Light from the sun makes your body feel warmer. Plants use energy from light and grow bigger and make oxygen. Energy can also be transferred through electricity. This kind of energy can be used for almost anything. But remember: Energy cannot be created. Energy in the form of electricity has to be transferred from another kind of energy. Wind power uses a machine called a turbine that turns the energy of the wind into electricity. Coal, oil, and gas power burn different kinds of material, creating heat that gets turned into electricity. Solar power generates electricity from the sun’s light – although not as easily as a plant.
