| Vauban We know cars are terrible polluters, but would you give yours up? Vauban, a community in southwestern Germany, did just that, and its 5,000 citizens are doing fine．Most streets are free of vehicles, and there are generous green spaces and good public-transport lines, including fast buses and bicycle paths．When people must drive, they can turn to car-sharing clubs．“All the citizens had the chance to plan their own city,” says Andreas Dellexe, an energy expert, “and it’s just how we wanted it to be．” |
Denmark During the period of gas shortage in the early 70s, Denmark decided to become self-sufficient（自足）．So they began a few projects making smart investments along the way． On the island of Satosoc, local families, fishermen and farmers bought wind turbines（涡轮机） to produce their own energy, Within seven years these turbines were completely paid for．And can you believe just one of wind turbines produces enough electricity for 600 households? |

| Trey Parker and Matt Stone Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, have built a sustainable（可持续的） castle with outer siding and inner flooring of recycled wood, recycled carpeting, high-efficiency boiler systems． I think more and more people today are willing to make a statement about the Earth and how they want to protect it,” Michael Ruth, home designer and builder says．“For high-end homes in this valley, this is entirely consistent with what they cost．” |

| Israel Company Is it possible that annoying rush hour traffic could become a source of renewable energy? Israel’s Technion Institute of Technology claims that if we placed special generator（发电机） under roads, railways, and runways—we could harvest enough energy to mass-produce electricity．A trial process has been used on a smaller scale, in dance clubs for instance, where the pounding feet of dancers light up the floor． “We can produce electricity anywhere there is a busy road using energy that normally goes to waste,” said Uri Amit, chairman of Israel’s Technion Institute of Technology． |
Coffee Coffee．Some of us can’t start our day without it, and we don’t mind waiting 10 minutes in line for it． Here is the most effective tip to make you a superstar in environment protection． Get a coffee machine for your home or coffee, or persuade your company into buying one．（Tell them it will improve productivity．） Skip the coffee line on the way to work and make something that is better-tasting and much better for your wallet． Plus, you won’t need those plastic cups or carrying cases that just get thrown away．Better yet, use your favorite travel mug． |
The iPod Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital（数码的） noise reduction systems” So are you one of them?
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says, “I’m not available for chatting at the moment.”
Suppose you’re at work and about to make a breakthrough, but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this exact moment, the slightest disturbance would interrupt your work. Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.
It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do, their “Yes. Mum.” Problem solved.
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears, but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We’ll be in a virtual(虚拟的) world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. And they are changing our social habits along the way.
| A．Outside life is shut out. |
| B．Our high-tech tools are changing quickly. |
| C．I also have wires hanging from my ears. |
| D．In the home situation, teenagers love these wires. |
E. I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment.
F. After all, I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.
G. Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。From 18－25, according to I．Q. scores；but you are wiser and more experienced with increasing age. You are smartest in your 20's; around 30, your memory begins to go down, particularly your ability to perform mathematical computations.
__ Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college. At 60, your brain has almost four times as much information as it did at the age of 21.
You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40 to 49. Before the age of 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come；over 30，we believe that they are behind us. A National Health survey agrees: after the age of 30, we become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we keep our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, happiness, we feel, will follow.
____ Generally between 30 and 39，but the peak (顶峰) varies with different professions(职业). Mosart wrote a symphony (交响曲) and four sonatas by the age of 8, and Mendelssohn composed his bestknown work A Midsummer Night's Dream at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.
Though the peak in most fields comes early, most Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late 20's and 30's—creative people continue to produce work with high quality(质量) throughout their lives ___
| A．When are you most creative (创造性的)? |
| B．When are you happiest? |
| C．When are you smartest? |
| D．Do you know what I．Q. refers to? |
E. But your I．Q. for other tasks goes up.
F. Creative people usually produce a lot of works.
G. For the “wellconditioned mind”， there is no upper limit..（限制）
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread.
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do soIf it is caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else
At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
| A．It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online. |
| B．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face. |
| C．If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. |
| D．The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. |
E. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
F. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
G. Everyone was new to the network once.
Getting along with parents
Mom and dad are the most important people in your life, and they’re likely to influence you more than anyone else in your lifetime. It’s a parent’s job to love and guide kids, and most parents will do this as long as they live. Here are four ways you can stay close, get along, and build a strong relationship.
Spend time together. It might be easy to be physically in the same place with your mom and dad. Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV by yourself, maybe you should ask your mom and dad to play with you. You can go outside together, try a board game, or read a book together.
Many kids say they would like their parents to help them when they’re upset. But your mom and dad might not know that you’re having a problem. Tell your parents if you’re sad or struggling with something. If you don’t usually do this, give it a try and you will be glad.
Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mom and dad. It’s also lovely when a kid offers to help fold the laundry or cleans up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents might be so excited!
Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you” In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents can show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.
| A．But how much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company（陪伴）? |
| B．It’s important to show that you care for each other. |
| C．But parents do a lot more than just pass down their hobbies. |
| D．Share your feelings and ask for help. |
E. Talk on the phone and email each other to stay in touch.
F. You can brighten your parents’ day with a hug, a card or a joke.
G. That means you have many years to share with your mom and dad.
