閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
。
A
These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.
Green building means“reducing the huge effect of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington D. C. said.
According to Holowka, buildings account for 65 percent of total US electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that they don’t destroy forests.
Marty Dettling is the project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high—rise building. According to Dettling,“We’ve reduced our energy use by one—third and our water by 50 percent.”
The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power.“On the lace of the building we have solar panels(太陽能電池板)which change the sun’s energy into electricity,”Dettling explained.
The Solaire also has lights that automatically(自動地)turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.
Not everyone wants to move into a green building very much, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said,“It’s going to be big.”
B
The meaning of the word“volunteer”may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means“one who offers his or her services”. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I wanted to try her kind of work too. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets(床單), and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
C
“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,”say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as a great importance: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which is now used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with, and nor is it necessarily a characteristic of high intelligence, just because that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong emphasis(強調)on test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can’t recognize ways to apply it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earlier age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s just choosing between two food items(物品)for lunch, decision—making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. This may be confusing for the child, but it is all right. This is because one of the most important characters of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
62. What did the company where Drew once worked learned from its mistake?
A. They encouraged people to work a longer time.
B. They discouraged people from thinking freely.
C. They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.
D. They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and improving new ideas.
