  Imagine growing a home from living trees instead of building a home from timber. Mitchell Joachim, at the MIT Media Lab’s Smart Cities Group, along with the ecological engineer Lara Greden and architect Javier Arbona, have proposed a system of homes that are actually a living ecosystem.

Joachim’s vision is based on a gardening method known as pleaching, which involves weaving branches together to form living lattice(格子) walls. Since the growth patterns of trees are affected by wind and sunlight, it may be possible to manipulate the way a tree develops.

This idea is an extreme, yet simple and beautiful form of green building. Not only does it not cause direct harm to the environment, but it is actually part of the environment. The house, which is a network of trees would clean the air and also provide a home for animals and birds. “Not only does it do zero damage, but it will hopefully clean the air,” says Joachim.

“A 100 percent treehouse would take years to create,”Joachim said. Depending on the climate, a house could take anywhere from 5 to 30 years to grow. Fortunately, there is a way to speed up the process.

Ecological material, Joachim suggests, should be included in the housing designs. For example, windows can be manufactured from soy-based plastics that would flex(折曲) with the home as it grows.

So what happens when a home and the great outdoors are one and the same? A home would become an actual ecosystem, a community of plants, animals and bacteria working together. The trees would also give off water vapor that would assist in cooling the homes. Solar panels and wind would help provide energy. Straw and clay could be used to insulate (使绝缘)the structures. The tree homes might even have soil pockets, where plants could grow from the structure itself.

Joachim’s project is called MatScape, designing a house in California that will be constructed from 50% recycled and 50% living elements. He sees it as an experimental step toward the ultimate living house.

67. A good title for this passage would be ______.

  A. Trees Find Its New Use                       B. Scientists Create New Houses

  C. Grow Your Home Out of Trees                 D. People Begin Living in Trees

68. It can be inferred from this passage that _______.

  A. treehouses will replace traditional buildings      

B. some ecological materials may move as the house grows

C. pollution problem will be solved once for all

D. many Canadians may be building their own treehouses

69. All the following may be true EXCEPT ________.

  A. a treehouse is an environment-friendly living ecosystem

  B. it’s the method pleaching that makes a treehouse possible

  C. how soon a treehouse will be built is up to climate

  D. energy cost is almost avoided in a treehouse

70. If this passage is continued, what would probably be discussed?

  A. Joachim’s MatScape project.                     B. Some more ecological materials.

C. More information about pleaching.                 D. An ultimate living house.

   Doctor say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

71       Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

   For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain release the same hormones(荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc.    72    

   Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

73       They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough and get angry about. If it is, they say, “   74   Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.    75    

A. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.

B. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

C. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.

D. Anger may cause you a cancer.

E. Don’t express your anger while angry.

G. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.

 Dear Brown,

    Last summer I take a part-time job in the International Camp for children. I have been told one more worker will be needed in this year and I think you are fit to it. How about join us? The camp is at the foot of a small hill close to a river. It is so a beautiful place! We can hear birds singing happy all around. Everybody sleeps in a tent, that is very exciting. We usually work only five hours a day, so we will have plenty of spare time visit the area and have a fun. I am sure it will be an unforgettable experience. If you have interests in it, reply to me soon.
