of Pest and the river. Six bridges join Buda and Pest.
For nearly a thousand years, Buda and Pest were two towns. Then in 1873 they joined and became one city, Budapest.
Soon it became one of the most important cultural capitals of Europe.

woods or the excitement of Pest, where there are good theatres, restaurants, bars and shops. The public transport system

Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man.
The sea has provided man with food and convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds
of the world's population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land
are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many man's needs. The list of riches of the
sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30
years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor are ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is
an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the
ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source
of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The

development of strong, new materials has
made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the
problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy source of the sea will be largely solved.
36. The major things that the sea offers man are ________
A. fish and oil B. minerals and oil C. food, energy sources, and minerals D. ocean currents and waves
