Waterpebble: Saving water one drop at a time

Waterpebble is a harmless and trendy Eco-gadget designed to help raise awareness regarding how much water is being used while in the shower, and to help decrease that amount so gradually that it’s practically undetectable. The goal is to make saving water fun and easy while bringing its importance to the forefront.

Inventor:

Paul Priestman is the innovative mind behind Waterpebble and was originally inspired by a hotel bathroom sign that read, “Please Use Water Sparingly(儉省地).”

Usage:

The Waterpebble is a small round device that has three light indications of red, orange and green. They indicate, respectively, “Too much”, “Just enough” and “Well done you’re saving the planet” .Simply place Waterpebble in the bottom of the shower and it records the length of your showers. From that point on it starts gradually encouraging you to reduce your shower time by flashing the appropriate light. If you let it go all the way to red, then you have exceeded(超過)the amount of time of your shower. If you stop showering at green, you have kept your shower at six minutes or less and have beat your record.

Effects:

Families who use Waterpebble can look forward to low water fees on their future water bills. It is a clever and environmentally-friendly way to make the process of saving water more instinctive. Waterpebble is not only encouraging people to use less water, but also helping people to become educated about conservation. Families report that their kids love the idea of playing a role in protecting the planet and without being constantly reminded. Waterpebble is being praised as a constructive device that allows people to ease into water conservation in a way that is enjoyable and educational.

【題目】What makes a building ugly? Everyone's got their own opinion, so it’s hard to say. Now, let’s take a look at some of the world’s worst buildings.

The Torre Velasca

The Tone Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan (Italy). The tower, which went up in the 1950s, is about 100 metres tall. Its design is actually a modern representation of a traditional Lombard castle, where the lower parts were narrower(狹窄的) than the upper parts.

The Mirador Building

The Mirador Building in Madrid (Spain) was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect Blanca Lleo. The building, which is a block of flats, opened in 2005. There is a large rectangular(矩形的) hole in the upper part of it, which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground.

The Prague TV Tower

The Prague TV Tower is in Prague (the capital of the Czech Republic). It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall, thin space ship. Prague is famous for its architectural beauty, so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak, many felt it didn’t fit in.

The Longaberger Basket Company

The Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark, Ohio (USA). The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket. It’s got seven floors and two handles at the top. The handles weigh about 150 tons. It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it’s certainly one of the most unusual.

1According to the text, the Torre Velasca _________.

A. is similar to a Lombard castle

B. was created by Blanca Lleo

C. has a history of over 100 years

D. is taller than the Prague TV Tower

【題目】The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government’s health budget(預(yù)算)be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.

Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.

One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.

In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people’s health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one’s family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.

However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.

1What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Prevention or Education? B. Prevention or Treatment?

C. Health or Illness? D. Exercise or Illness?

2Which of the following can replace the underlined word “bankrupt”?

A. Unable to be cured.

B. Unable to pay one’s debts.

C. Stronger than ever before.

D. More successful than ever before.

3We learn from the passage that .

A. dressing warmly can prevent diseases

B. a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise

C. It’s better to have more health education.

D. the government’s health budget should be increased

4Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

CP(Central Point) P(Point) S(Sub—point次要點(diǎn)) C(Conclusion)

A. B.

C. D.
