问题     The burning of coal is very wasteful of energy. This can be realized when we remember that one pound to coal burned in the furnace of a power station【C1】______raise enough team to drive a generator【C2】______will produce enough current to light a one barelectric fire for three hours. On the other hand, if all the energy in the atoms of a pound of coal could be released,【C3】______should be enough energy to【C4】______all the machinery in all the factories in Britain for a month.
    In simpler words, all this means that one pound of any element or compound of element, if completely converted【C5】______energy by breaking up the atoms, would【C6】______the same amount of heat【C7】______the burning of 1,500,000 tons of coal. Scientists have calculated that if a bucket of sand from the beach could be completely【C8】______into energy, and if the energy so obtained was used to drive electric generators, enough【C9】______would be produced to supply the whole of Europe for five years.【C10】______other words, a bucket of sand contains enough energy to【C11】______a thousand million pounds’ worth of electricity.
    Albert Einstein was the first man to realize the vast【C12】______of energy locked in the atom. Einstein was also the first to show in theory how the energy of the atom might be released. Indeed without Einstein’s theory【C13】______was the result of many complicated mathematical calculations, there would never have been any practical【C14】______of nuclear power.
    In 1905, which was many years before other scientists really understood a great deal about atomic energy, Einstein declared that if you "destroyed" a given mass of matter, you would obtain【C15】______its place an enormous amount of energy.
  【C16】______support this theory, Einstein worked【C17】______what is probably the most important equation in the history of mathematics. It was【C18】______no means a complicated equation, but in fact a very simple【C19】______. Here it is: E=MC2.
    Turned into simple language, Einstein’s equation means that energy(E) is equal【C20】______mass(M) multiplied by the speed of light(C) squared(C2).
