     Almost everyone in the world uses oil in some way. Cars, buses, planes and many trains and ships

also need oil. Even our bicycles need oil. Indeed the whole world would stop if there was no oil. Today

there is a growing need for oil in the world. So people are looking for it everywhere. They look for oil

in deserts, in the mountains and under the sea. Quite often they find nothing, but the search for oil always

goes on. What are the largest oil producers in the world? The U.S, the U.S.S.R., and countries of the

Middle East. But China is catching up fast. Before liberation we used to buy nearly all our oil from the U.S.

Many foreign people said China was "oil-poor". But since liberation oil has been found in many parts of the

country, today everyone agrees that China is rich in oil. Our oil will not only meet the great need in our

country, but also be sold to other countries.
