1．What will the house of the future look like？Could it have gardens on its walls，or a pool with fish for dinner？Architects（建筑師） believe that they are all possibilities．The only thing for sure isthat the house will be as green as possible．
The tree house
Many architects in the world would like to build a"tree house．"Like a leaf，the surface of the house collects sunlight  during the day．The energy can be used to heat water，produce electricity，and even create fresh air for the home．The"root"of the house is deep under the ground．It uses the soil to control the home's temperature．
The Lizard（蜥蜴） house
Like a lizard，changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house．When it's in the bright  sun，the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat．During dark days，it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy．
Meals at home
This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture（建筑風(fēng)格）．It has gardens on the outside wall of the house．People can plant tomatoes，carrots and green tea on them．So every day in the morning，you just need to walk outside and collect your meals．
Leaning from the past
Looking to the future isn'tthe only way to be green．Sometimes，ancient techniques（古老的技術(shù)） can also help cut down energy use．For example，a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out（排出） the chimney．
任務(wù)型閱讀：根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，填寫下列表格．

The houses of the future will be as green as possible．

20．People often call the plastic bags"white pollution"．（71）B，it becomes the worst invention for the human．It is reported that it takes 100-200years to break down the plastic bags completely．However，a 16-year-old high-school Canadian student called Daniel Byrd discovered the way to break down the plastic bags!
The idea of the invention comes from his housework．（72）E．Every time，when he opens the closet，the plastic bags fly out．This makes him very angry．（73）A．With his teacher's help，he found that when he put the two germs（細(xì)菌） mixture up and that made the plastic bags break down quickly．
He made an experiment first．He put some earth germs and plastic bags together．After 12weeks，he found the plastic bags had been broken down．（74）C．The experiment also showed that the plastic bags could be broken down in three months．And they only gave out some water and little carbon dioxide （CO₂）．
Now Byrd has got 30thousand dollars from his invention．（75）D He has also got a lot of award from many universities．

A．So he thinks how to deal with these plastic bags B．Because it is hard to break down C．Then he made another experiment D．He wants to go to college with his money E．He always helps her mother do the housework

19．As is known to all，wasting has become a more and mire serious problem．We can easily see many people throw a lot of food away．Some people spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes．What do you think of them？Here are some of students'opinions：

Mary

As for me，I believe"Waste not，want not．"We know there are still millions of Chinese living in a poor condition．We can never afford waste．Therefore，it is no doubt that saving is still a good habit that we should not give up．I do not like the men who spend their money in a wrong way．They do not know waste is a bad thing．It can only make them happy for the time being．

Jacky

More and more people are no longer interested in the simple life style，including me．And I feel embarrassed to save the things I used．What I love is the latest fashion．In my eyes，saving is already out of style．

Sally

One of the best ways we students can do in this situation is to recycle the textbooks we are using every day．After we've used them and are moving on to new ones，we should find ways to recycle these books instead of simply throwing them away．There are different ways to do so，such as sending them to a recycling factory，reusing them for other purposes，passing them on to new students and so on．

Tim

The negative effects（負(fù)面影響） of waste can be shown as follows．Firstly，it makes some students ask their parents for money quite often，which is harmful to their development．If they don't learn to support themselves，they will be"useless people"when they graduate．Secondly，it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling．Last but not the least，just like what Mary said that our country is still poor．There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help．

What You Need：
（61）B
What You Do：
☆A(yù)fter your children have finished reading a book or a lesson，ask them to make a movie in their mind．Sounds unbelievable？It's something your children may have already been doing．（62）DHave them close their eyes and imagine six important parts of the book．
☆（63）EThe children should use one piece of unlined paper for each scene．It is like a storyboard used by movie makers to plan every scene．Tell your children that details they see，feel，taste，and hear are all important to be included．
☆When your children have finished their movies，write down a short name for each scene．（64）A
☆Using all the pictures and names can help your children write a summary（概要） of the story on the lined paper．As your children use each movie scene and name，help them pay attention to the six most important parts of the book or lesson．
This kind of activity allows children to draw what they read，and they don't have to write．It gives learners a way to organize their thoughts through pictures．（65）CThey will enjoy this very much and may even forget they are doing schoolwork!

16．Chinese students may be the world's most hard-working at home．A recent report says that 15-year-olds in Shanghai spend the longest time on homework，compared with their peers around the world．
The report was released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development （OECD）．It surveyed 510，000 students in 65 countries and regions．Results show that the global average is about 4.9 hours'worth of homework each week．Students in Shanghai spend the longest time-13.8 hours．Those in Russia and Singapore take 9.7 and 9.4 hours respectively （各自）．Students in Finland spend the least time-fewer than 3 hours．
The study shows that students who did more homework scored higher in the Program for International Student Assessment （PISA），an academic test for 15-year-olds．For example，Shanghai and Singapore，where students spent much of their time on homework，came in first and second respectively in the PISA math test in 2012．
What's more，teens from wealthier backgrounds were doing 1.6 more hours of homework than their poorer peers．It may"have widened the performance gap between students from different socio-economic backgrounds"，the report warns．Poorer students may not have a quiet place to study at home，"it suggests．"Their parents may not be able to guide，motivate and support their children on homework because of work responsibilities．"
However，the number of hours spent on homework may influence students on an individual level，but it doesn't affect the country level．Factors like have a bigger impact on a country's overall performance．
A Report On Time for （71）Homework

（72）Time and countries/regions
Time and score	The （73）moretime students spent，the higher score they got．
Time and family （74）backgrounds	Teens from wealthier families spent more time than those from poor families．
Conclusions	Students'individual level may be （75）influenced/affectedbecause of the number of hours spent on homework． Teacher quality and school system organization affects the country's level．

15．Four types of friends you need in your life
Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime？The survey shows if you want to live longer and more happily，you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble．
The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away．
1．A Loyal Best Friend  Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations．This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets，but still loves you all the same．
2．A Friendly Neighbor  These days，a lot of people don't know their own neighbors．It's a shame，because some neighbors can be the most helpful people．If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday，you can call your neighbors to lock it for you．So it's wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors．
3．A Workmate   You'll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day．Your workmate doesn't have to be your best friend．If you two get along well with each other，you can always start going out with them outside of the office．
4．A Friend From a Different Culture  If everyone had a friend from a different culture，the world would be a much better place．Remember that don't be friends with someone just because they're from a different culture．Instead，keep your mind open，and if you meet someone from other places，try to learn about their customs，values，and traditions．
If you have such kinds of friends，you will surely live longer and more ha ppily．
