7．The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use，according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre （UKERC）．The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions （排放）by 80percent by 2050，part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016．But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own-though extremely important-is not enough to achieve such reductions：the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too．
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency （效率），which  instead focus on architectural and technological developments．
‘Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything，'explains Katy Janda，a UKERC senior researcher，‘consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design．'In other words，old habits die hard，even in the best-designed eco-home．
Another part of the problem is information．Households and bill-payers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits．Without specific information，it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices．Feedback （反馈） facilities，like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use； some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15percent energy savings using smart meters．
Social science research has added a further dimension （方面），suggesting that individuals'behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted 一 whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat （恒温器），for example．
Janda argues that education is the key．She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them．

5．Kino，Juana，and Coyotito begin their long march north．They walk all night and make camp in a roadside shelter at sunrise．Along the way，Juana begins to doubt whether the pearl is worth far more than the dealers offered，but Kino points out that his attackers would not have tried to steal the pearl were it worth nothing．
The family hurries farther into the shade for another rest．As Juana plays with Coyotito，Kino wakes from a dream and demands that they keep quiet．Moving forward，he spots three trackers following them．He decides to lose them up in the mountains．
As their climbing grows steeper，Kino varies and doubles back on their way to mislead the trackers．As the sun begins to set，Kino and Juana reach a nearby opening and refill their water supply at a pool and stream，where Juana washes Coyotito．From the lookout，Kino spies the trackers at a distance below，hurrying up the slope（山坡）．Kino misleads the trackers by creating a false track up the cliff（悬崖）and going down again to take shelter with Juana and Coyotito in a nearby cave．
By evening，the trackers arrive at the pool，where they make camp and eat．In the cave，Coyotito grows restless，and Juana quiets him．Kino notices that two of the men have settled into sleep，while the third keeps watch．
Kino takes off his clothes to avoid being seen by the watchman，hiding behind a palm tree waiting for a move before the moon rises．Just as he is ready to spring，the moon appears，and he realizes that his opportunity has been lost．
Suddenly，Coyotito lets out a cry．The watchman shoots in the direction of the cry．As the watchman shoots，Kino springs upon the trackers，killing the watchman and seizing the gun．Knocking one of the other men out with a fierce blow，he watches as the last man attempts to flee up the cliff．The man makes little progress before Kino stops him with a first shot，and then murders him with another shot between the eyes．In the moment that follows，Kino hears the blood-curdling cry issuing from his wife，mourning the death of Coyotito．
Later the next day，Kino and Juana walk side by side into La Paz，with Juana carrying Coyotito's body in a sack over her shoulder．They walked，with unmoving eyes．all the way to the sea．At the edge of the water，Kino stops and pulls the pearl from his pocket．He stares into it carefully，and a flood of evil（邪恶的）memories washes over him．Kino holds the pearl out in front of him，and then throws it out into the ocean．
