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.

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

In
capsule
hotels,
each
guest
stays
in
a
small
sleeping
space
called capsule.
It
measures
about 2 meters in length and1 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
, 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. About
30% at the Capsule Hotel were unemployed or underemployed and were renting capsules by the
month. It was first offered to salary men who had missed the last train home, but now it is also
popular with travelers from all over the world. Therefore, it's going to gain more popularity.

Amphibious Architecture: Flood-Proof Home Designs




Instead of trying to beat back the rising flood, innovative amphibious buildings can adapt to
the rising flood. These buildings are ready for whatever Mother Nature might throw at them
–
even
10-foot floodwaters. Let's take a look at just two of them.
The UK's First Amphibious House



The
UK's
first
amphibious
house
is
located
on
the Thames
River.
And
the
first
amphibious
building in Britain will be completed soon. Baca Architects designed this home for a couple who
wanted
to
live
on
a
flood-prone
island,
an
island
easy
to
be
attacked
by
floods,
in
the
Thames
River. This building is equipped with a terraced landscape. And this terraced landscape acts as an
early warning system when the waters are rising. The terraces will be filled with water before the
‘wet dock’ un
der the house does, and then the home itself will slowly rise to stay above the water.
Solar Powered Floating School in Nigeria



Residents of Makoko in Nigeria have been building houses on stilts for generations. People
there go from one house to another by canoe. As sea levels are rising, officials threaten to tear
down the entire community. If these houses are tore down, 250,000 people will be homeless and
have
to
look
for
a
new
place
to
live.
Architects
found
a
solution
in
floating
structures
with
improved
sanitation
conditions.
The
first
completed
example
is
a
three- storey
solar-powered
school.




This amazing floating school addresses social, physical and ecological needs. Built on top of
256
recycled
blue
barrels,
the
school
buildings
are
made
of
triangular
bamboo
and
wood.
Makoko's residents made full use of their skills when building these structures. With three levels,
the
solar- powered
high
school
has
room
for
100
local
kids
and
recycles
rainwater
to
flush
the
toilets. And the cost for the whole school structures was under $$7,000.
tive amphibious buildings have adaptation to the rising flood.

回答正确

first amphibious building in Britain has been completed.

回答正确

3.250,000
residents
of
Makoko
in
Nigeria
will
be
homeless
if
officials
tear
down
their
houses.

回答正确

first completed floating school has three floors.


回答正确

the opinion of the writer, the cost for the floating school was quite high.

The fridge is considered necessary. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food list
appeared with the label:






In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, 1 was fed well and healthy. The milkman came every
day, the grocer, the butcher (
肉商
), the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times
each
week.
The
Sunday
meat
would
last
until
Wednesday
and
surplus(
剩余的
)
bread
and
milk
became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty
years on food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.






The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation.
Many well-tried techniques already existed -- natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring,
bottling...






What
refrigeration
did
promote
was
marketing
---
marketing
hardware
and
electricity,
marketing
soft
drinks,
marketing
dead
bodies
of
animals
around
the
world
in
search
of
a
good
price.






Consequently,
most
of the world's fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they
might prove useful, but in the rich countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically
almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense,
busily maintaining an artificially- cooled space inside an artificially-heated house -- while outside,
nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.






The fridge's effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human
happiness has been not important.
1. The statement
the author was well-fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fifties.

回答正确

2.
The author
says
that
nothing
was
wasted
before
the
invention
of
fridges
because
people
had
effective ways to preserve food.

回答正确

3. Consumers benefited the most from fridges according to the author?

4. What refrigeration did promote was food-preserving.

It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device
，
and yet it is one of the
fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet
，
a big
online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then
，
that
people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels.






Internet
giants
such
as
Microsoft
knew
consumer
confidence
was
the
key
to
getting
virtual(
虚拟的
) shopping off the ground
，
and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop
online.






Credit
card
companies
，
too
，
quickly
saw
the
potential
for
online
shopping
，
and
have
installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your
online credit purchases
，
many credit card companies will happily refund(
退还
) your money and
then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that
’
s buying power!






There are other bonuses for online shoppers
，
of course. No line
?
ups
，
for one. No annoying
mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won
’
t get them
what they want.






When shopping online
，
consumers can sit down
，
have a coffee
，
and wear their slippers
，
not
having
to
worry
about
their
hair
or
parking
，
and
just
clicking
through
sale
after
sale.
Comparison shopping couldn
’
t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies(
快递公司
) getting
in on the act
，
you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases
delivered right to your door.






No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional retailing and instead
looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.
