Five Tips to Make Your House Look Greener

      There are plenty of ways to make your house look greener. It doesn't matter how many people reside in your home. It doesn't even matter what is the size of your home. What matters is how your house looks and how it affects you and others residing in it.

      It is very necessary to make your house look greener because it has a direct impact on your health. If you keep your house greener, you will get rid of many dangerous diseases. Here are some ways to keep it greener.

 1.Good and reliable Interior

      Indoor material, like windows, doors, cupboards, etc. must be of good quality. These things play an important role to clean the house. Doors and cupboards must be of high quality wood. Aluminium windows must be used. You must use high-quality paints for walls, doors, windows and cupboards.

2. Using wider windows and doors for ventilation.

      Oxygen is a necessary element to enable you to live alive. For healthy life, windows and doors must be wide and usually be kept open at least for 15 hours a day, as ventilation of air makes you fresh and healthy.

3. Placing plants especially flowers at various places

      No one wants an empty house, and plants definitely play a refreshing role. First, the plants provide you with oxygen necessary for survival. Second, plants and especially flowers spread heart-attracting fragrance. All unhealthy odors are eradicated from your home and you feel fresh whenever you are inside it. Flowers also make your home interior look more appealing.

4. Disposing off wastes away from home regularly

      It's very important to throw away household wastes far from your house every day. When wastes are kept untouched for many days, they attract bacteria and viruses. Flies and mosquitoes also start gathering and increasing at such places. As a result, diseases are caused.

5. Using anti-bacterial materials for washing floors and contents

      Usually unclean fans, floors and walls breed bacteria and viruses, which are then carried by flies and mosquitoes. These carriers then infect the humans by contact through contaminated food or direct attacks on human body. It's always recommended to use anti-bacterial or anti-viral cleaners for fans, floors, walls, laptops, and TVs.

1. A green home is closely related with the size of your home. 1  

2. A green home does good to your health. 2  

3. The quality of indoor materials is of great importance to keep the house clean. 3  

4. Household wastes should be thrown away daily. 4  

5. Flies and mosquitoes breed bacteria and viruses. 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:

 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.

6.二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容进行判断，正确为“T”，错误为“F”。

      A brand new Minecraft game will be story-driven.

      The new series of “Minecraft: Story Mode” will be set in the world of Minecraft, but it will feature an original story that combines new characters with familiar themes. It is driven by player choice. It will be a separate standalone product.

      The decision to make the new game community-driven is potentially brilliant. It’s interesting that feedback from the community is going to be brought into Minecraft: Story Mode. In a way, it echoes what Minecraft is. It is a user-generated world.

      It’s likely that there already have been gamers on Minecraft fan blogs. They have come up with theories as to how the universe was created. There could be lots of contradictory things there. But from a marketing standpoint, it makes all the sense in the world for the community of “you guys are going to write this.” 

      Minecraft first came out in 2009 and is probably due for an evolution of some sort. Story Mode seems like a natural next step. A dedicated fan base has very high expectations. It will be satisfied with the story it is developing.

       There will be challenges, however. Minecraft does not follow what the game industry is used to working with. It will be a completely different development scenario. It is a world with no story and starting from the beginning. As long as the Minecraft story is popular and successful, that might be OK.

   The new series of game will feature a new story with unfamiliar themes.     1     The new game will be combined with other products.     2      The new game is community-driven.     3     The game fans can create the theories of the universe on the Minecraft blogs.     4     Minecraft strictly follows the rules of the game industry.     5

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。 

    In 1909 an English newspaper offered ￡ 1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an aeroplane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colorful.

      One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in an accident!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aeroplane design.

      The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I'm going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.”

      Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometres from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer's field. When he did so, a customs (海关) officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not. “Have you anything to declare ” The officer demanded.

 1.The story took place  1  .

A. in the early 20th century

B. in the 19th century

C. at a time not mentioned in the passage

2. Bleriot was well known as a pilot because  2  .

A. he was unusually brave

B. he had many good ideas about aeroplane design

C. he had had a few accidents

3. Why did Hubert Latham want to fly across the Channel    3  

A. He thought he could manage it easily.

B. He knew he only had a year to live.

C. He had always been interested in flying.

4. Why did the customs officer rush to the plane    4  

A. To ask if Beriot had anything to declare.

B. To make sure that the pilot was not hurt.

C. To ask why the plane had landed in a farmer’s field.

5. “Do you have anything to declare ” means  5  .

A. “Do you want any help ”

B. “Is there anything wrong ”

C. “Have you brought anything on which custom duties must be paid ”

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

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。

In capsule hotels, each guest stays in a small sleeping space called capsule. It measures about 2 meters in length and 1 meter in both width and height.

It is a type of hotel first developed in Japan intended to provide cheap, basic overnight accommodation for guests who do not require the services offered by traditional hotels. Facilities differ, but most include a television and wireless internet connection. There are many buttons in the capsule. One turns on the light, one turns on the TV, and one controls the channels. There is a radio and an alarm clock built in. The open end of the capsule can be closed, for privacy, with a curtain or a fiber glass door. Luggage is stored in a locker. Clothes and shoes are sometimes exchanged for a yukata and slippers on entry. Washrooms are communal. Guests are asked not to smoke or eat in the capsules. Some hotels also provide restaurants (or at least vending machines), pools, and other entertainment facilities. Capsules are used primarily by men. Some capsule hotels offer separate sections for male and female guests. 

The benefits of these hotels are convenience and price, usually around ￥2000-4000 (USD 25-50) a night. They provide a place for those who may be too drunk to return home safely.

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.
