The central government can also make treaties with foreign countries. It has the power to print money. The Constitution gives the central government these powers. These powers belong to the central government only. However, the states have many powers that the central government cannot control. For example, a state is allowed to tax people who live and work in the state. The central government cannot put a limit on the amount of money that a state taxes its people. Many people feel that the federal system has many good points. One good point is that it restrains the power of the central government. The central government cannot become too powerful. Another good point is that the central government makes sure that the bigger states dont become too powerful. Under the Constitution, all states are treated equally. The laws of the central government do not favor one state over another. QuestionsQuestions 2626 toto 2828 areare basedbased onon thethe passagepassage youyou havehave justjust heard.heard. 26.26.

Unlike the rockets of the previous twenty years, Columbia has the enormous advantage of being specially designed to return to earth and make further flights. Among the large number of projects, scientists are investigating its future use. The most exciting, perhaps, is that the first steps can now be taken towards establishing human colonies in space. The present Space Shuttle can only stay in space for about a week, but it could take people out to build “islands” where they stay for longer periods. By the year 2050 scientists estimate that man will be able to construct permanent settlements. The first “islands” would be energy stations. There would be no hope of establishing colonies in space unless people could obtain energy there, instead of getting it from the earth. However, if the original could convert solar energy into electricity, it would be possible to provide the equivalent of a filling station for cars on earth, allowing the Space Shuttle to refuel and stay in orbit longer periods of time. If this initial project was successful, much larger solar energy stations would be constructed later with materials brought out by the Shuttle. Eventually, man would be able to construct an “inhabitable planet” in space.

They say illegal turtle hunting is one of the major threats to endangered sea turtles in southern California and Mexico. It has been illegal to harvest and eat sea turtle meat in Mexico for more than ten years. However, demand for sea turtle meat is widespread in both Southern California and Mexico. Biologists believe that illegal hunting is one of the main reasons for the sharp drop in sea turtle populations during the past thirty years. The week before Easter Sunday is an especially deadly time for the turtles. As many as 5,000 turtles are killed during this time each year. Many Mexicans and Mexican Americans eat turtle meat during the days before Easter because they are forbidden to eat meat at that time for religious reasons, and turtle flesh is considered fish. The Sea Turtle Conservation Network sent a letter to Pope John Paul. They urged the Roman Catholic Church leader to officially declare that sea turtle flesh is meat, not fish or seafood. They say thousands of these endangered animals would be saved if people did not eat them during this religious period. About 35,000 endangered sea turtles are killed illegally near the coasts of California each year. Studies have shown a sharp drop in the numbers of females. They travel from as far away as Japan to lay their eggs on local beaches. Environmental activists say hunting sea turtles for their meat is the main barrier to the recovery of the species. They have urged the governments of the U.S. and Mexico to improve enforcement of the ban on sea turtle harvesting.
