My Dream Classroom．
1．Villagers of the high desert of Ladakh in India's Jammu and Kashmir state used to harvest plentiful crops of wheat，fruits，and vegetables in summer．But for years the streams have run dry in spring，just when farmers needed water to sow seeds．They had water when it wasn't needed during the rest of the year，such as in winter，when people let water run from taps to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting．Villagers blame climate change for causing glaciers （冰川） to shrink by melting them faster than before．
To solve the water-shortage problem，Sonam Wangchuk，a mechanical engineer，and his team of volunteers are building a huge vertical block of ice in Phyang，nine miles from Leh，the capital of Ladakh．When spring comes and the artificial glacier melts，farmers will have flowing water．This method stores water without the need for concrete water storage tanks or dam．While it won't stop glaciers from shrinking，it could help people adapt to a warming world．
Last winter，Wangchuk built a six-meter-high  prototype  on am open riverbank totest his novel idea．It stored 150，000liters of water at 3，170meters，the lowest altitude in Leh valley．This，he said，proved ice pyramids （金字塔）can be built anywhere in the region．When the prototype lasted until mid-May，he was encouraged to attempt a 30-metre-high pyramid of ice this winter．But the cost of piping water from the Phyang stream，1.5miles away，was a huge S 100，000．Not discouraged，he somehow raised the money and work began on 21January．
The site was waterproofed with clay （粘土），so when the ice pyramid melted，water would not get into the desert sand．Sprinklers （喷淋装置）sprayed water from above，and the cold wind froze the tiny drops of water as they hit the ground．A cone of ice built up slowly but steadily．With only two more weeks of winter left，time is running short．The pyramid will likely be no more than 15meters high when completed，half the size of the planned 30meters．
"This year was the first time，so there were complications and delays，Wangchuk said．"We wanted to achieve two things--to show how to make an ice pyramid and how to green a patch of desert．"It's difficult to say how many people will eventually benefit；Fhyang village has only 2，000people．But there'll he enough water for many more．This is an economic as well as ecological activity．"
In the coming years，Wangehuk hopes to build 80to 90ice pyramids，each more than 30meters tall，in Phyang village．They'll store 1bn liters of water，enough to irrigate 600hectares （ 1，500acres） of desert，he says．To make so many ice pyramids，the only additional investment is the pipeline．Wangehuk said："We need more pipes so we can extend it farther and farther．It will take another $ 100，000to make the other ice pyramids．"Once the pipes are laid，frozen ice pyramids can be built year after year without pumping in more money．The underground pipes will last a hundred years．But for now，the desert around the 3，500-metre-high Phyang will turn green in summer，as water flows for the first time in many years．

18．Editor Henry Slocum，
     I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books，or e-books，with great interest．You made several good points about the disadvantages of e-books．You may have overlooked，however，some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books．Yes，e-books are expensive，but they are also convenient．In addition，due to their environment-friendly nature，e-books have the potential to change our planet for the better．
     E-books，for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term，are about the same size and shape as regular books．They have a large screen in the middle，however．This screen shows the reader a page of text that has been downloaded from a computer．Once the reader has finished reading the page on the e-book screen，he or she scrolls down to see a new page．The process continues until the entire book has been read．
     As you pointed out，Mr．Slocum，it's great to lie on a warm，sandy beach with a book．You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book．In fact，because e-books are so light，you can carry them anywhere．Say，for example，that you like to read on the bus．Which would you rather carry with you-a heavy 800-page novel，or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces？
    Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well．They are more environment friendly than traditional books．At present，thousands of trees are cut down each year to meet the publishing industry's demand for paper．Books that don't sell are eventually returned to the publisher and destroyed．This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books，which require no paper．
Sincerely，
David Eng41．What does Editor Henry Slocum think about e-books？B
