 Top 3 Green Home Innovations

            1    .There are many things you can do to reduce carbon emission and help to make the earth a better place for future generations. Here are a few suggestions.

            2    Although LED lamps cost more money than standard incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs do at the beginning, these long-lasting LED lamps will eventually be worth the money because of nergy  saved. LED lamps also produce a cleaner, more natural light.

            3    .“Water”is a hot topic, especially in the Southwest. Household  water filters are now available to clean and reuse water from showers and baths. Gray water reuse systems redirect the used water from washing machines to lawns or gardens.

            4    

            5    . Building materials and embellishments like paint and carpets can  emit  chemical compounds into the atmosphere, and because a home is an enclosed space, those compounds can sometimes accumulate to dangerous levels. Installing a whole-house air purification system is one way to keep indoor air clean and circulating.

         Going “green” doesn't have to be a challenge. A home is a long-term investment. You don't have to start over from cratch.  Make small changes. Choose environmentally friendly paint or LED bulbs.  

         Chances are that your home will need improvements eventually.Whenever possible, choose upgrades that will reduce your carbon footprint. It's good for the planet, and it's good for you.

A. In recent years indoor air pollution has got a lot of attention.

B. Air Purification

C. Water Recycling

D. In the last decade a growing number of people were interested in conserving energy and preserving the environment by living “green”

Amphibious Architecture: Flood-Proof Home Designs

    Instead of trying to beat back the rising flood, innovative amphibious buildings can adapt to the rising flood. These buildings are ready for whatever Mother Nature might throw at them– even 10-foot floodwaters. Let's take a look at just two of them.

The UK's First Amphibious House

   The UK's first amphibious house is located on the Thames River. And the first amphibious building in Britain will be completed soon. Baca Architects designed this home for a couple who wanted to live on a flood-prone island, an island easy to be attacked by floods, in the Thames River. This building is equipped with a terraced landscape. And this terraced landscape acts as an early warning system when the waters are rising. The terraces will be filled with water before the ‘wet dock’ under the house does, and then the home itself will slowly rise to stay above the water.

Solar Powered Floating School in Nigeria

   Residents of Makoko in Nigeria have been building houses on stilts for generations. People there go from one house to another by canoe. As sea levels are rising, officials threaten to tear down the entire community. If these houses are tore down, 250,000 people will be homeless and have to look for a new place to live. Architects found a solution in floating structures with improved sanitation conditions. The first completed example is a three-storey solar-powered school.

    This amazing floating school addresses social, physical and ecological needs. Built on top of 256 recycled blue barrels, the school buildings are made of triangular bamboo and wood. Makoko's residents made full use of their skills when building these structures. With three levels, the solar-powered high school has room for 100 local kids and recycles rainwater to flush the toilets. And the cost for the whole school structures was under $7,000.

1.Innovative amphibious buildings have adaptation to the rising flood.   1  

2.The first amphibious building in Britain has been completed.   2  

3.250,000 residents of Makoko in Nigeria will be homeless if officials tear down their houses.   3  

4.The first completed floating school has three floors.    4  

5.In the opinion of the writer, the cost for the floating school was quite high.    5

 While there are still many people who don't feel comfortable using a credit card to buy over the Internet, e-commerce is absolutely here to stay. If you take a few precautions buying over the Internet can actually be safer than using your credit card in a restaurant.

 Just as you should notice your surroundings and suspicious-looking people when withdrawing (提取) money from an ATM, you should know how to recognize the warning signs of Internet tricks and take steps to avoid being a victim when shopping online. Here are some good tips to remember when shopping online:

 Before submitting your personal information to a site, try to find out how the information may be used and whether it will be sold to or shared with other businesses. If you don't like what you read, shop somewhere else.

 Use a credit card, not a debit card (借记卡) for shopping on the internet. Debit cards don't have the same protection as credit cards.

 Carefully review your credit card and bank statement each month for unknown charges and inform your credit card company or bank immediately if you notice any charges you didn't know about.

 Clean your computer with free online software that detects spy-ware and install a firewall (防火墙) to ensure the sites you shop on don' t install spy-ware on your computer.

    In 1933, an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said “Stop! That's our duck!”

     The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper(发脾气) very quickly . And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.

      In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and hid friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.

      Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.

6.二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

      Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a 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 of 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 ready to be mined (开采).

　　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 (水流) 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 sources of the sea will be largely solved.

1.The major things that the sea offers man are  1  .

A. fish and oil

B. warm temperature and ocean currents

C. the food, energy sources, and minerals 

2. The sea serves the needs of man because  2  .

A. in provides man with food

B. it supplies man with minerals

C. all of the above

3. We can conclude from this passage that  3  .

　　A. the sea resources have largely been used up

　　B. the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed

　　C. the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea have already been solved.

4. The underlined words Oriental people in the fourth paragraph probably mean  4  .

　　A. the people in Asia       B. African people       C. European people     

5. The best title for this passage is  5  .

A. Sea Harvest

B. Technology for Exploiting the Sea

C. Man and the Sea

21.阅读短文，根据短文内容从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个正确答案。

Lynne Shaner used the Internet to buy everything she needed for her wedding and holiday gifts for her husband and step-daughter. Other than food, 90 percent of her purchases are made on the computer in her Washington apartment.

“I find that, by being able to go online and choose the things that I need to choose, and have them delivered to me right at my doorstep, I eliminate all the driving, all the crowds, all the noise of that, and I usually get a better selection,” Shaner explained. 

Analysts say US online shopping has hit records in November and December. Fifty-seven percent of Americans have made at least one online purchase. Traditional merchants worry that the growing e-commerce will shrink their share of the market. Cornell University Marketing Professor Ed McLaughlin says they have reason for concern. 

“Anything that can move online will go. It is just a matter of time,” he stated. McLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods like clothing, which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing — as well as items that are difficult to ship. He says some bricks and mortar stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and electronics. Traditional stores also offer a social experience that some shoppers enjoy.

“Oftentimes, you need that last sense of ‘this is exactly what I want’ before you part with your money,” he said. “And you can’t always get that online. It’s a rather cold process. Traditional stores can also deliver goods more quickly than online retailers,” Martin says. And smart merchants are using stores to guide customers to websites and using their websites to encourage customers to visit their stores.

While e-commerce worries some merchants, it’s a huge boost for delivery services like FedEx and UPS. UPS Manager Dana Kline says e-commerce means her company is even busier than usual this time of year. “We are expecting 28 million pieces on their peak day, which is December 20, which is up about a million from last year,” she noted. UPS is so busy that it’s hiring 55,000 temporary workers during the holiday season to deliver gifts. Those packages are headed for homes, including Lynne Shaner’s purchase.

Ieoh Ming Pei is definitely one of the biggest names in architecture. Born in China in 1917, Pei was the son of a prominent banker. He grew up mostly in Hong Kong and Shanghai. At the age of 17, Pei left for the United States to study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then Harvard University.

Pei attracted great attention in the US for the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, but it was the Louvre Pyramid that brought him worldwide fame. In 1981, the newly elected President of France came up with an ambitious plan for a variety of construction projects, including the renovation of the Louvre Museum. Pei was invited to join the renovating team. Pei finally agreed to take on the project after three secretive trips to Paris.

Pei designed not only a glass and steel pyramid to serve as the entrance to the Louvre, but also a transformation of the interiors. The public reacted harshly to the design, mostly because of the proposed pyramid. In an attempt to soothe public anger, Pei took a suggestion from then-mayor of Paris and placed a full-sized model of the pyramid in the courtyard of the Louvre.

During the four days of its exhibition, an estimated 60,000 people visited the site. Critics eased their opposition after witnessing the proposed scale of the pyramid. The new entrance was opened to the public in March, 1989. By that time, public opinion had softened on the Pyramid; a poll found a 56 percent approval rating for the pyramid. “The much-feared pyramid has become adorable,” wrote a French writer. The experience was exhausting for Pei, but also rewarding. “After the Louvre,” Pei said later, “I thought no project would be too difficult.” Now the Louvre Pyramid is Pei’s most famous structure.
