12．A few years ago，Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50percent less energy，cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning．"I think half of then fell off their chairs，"Gerner says．
Gerner manages school facilities （设施）for Clark county，Nevada，a district roughly the size of Massachusetts．By 2018，143，000additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system．Gerner needs 73new schools to house them．Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes （样品）； They plan to construct their schools starting in 2009．The district will then assess how well the schools perform，and three winners will copy those designs in 50to 70new buildings．
Green schools are appearing all over，but in Clark County，which stands out for its vastness，such aggressive targets are difficult because deign requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate．"One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation（朝向），"Mark McGinty，a director at SH Architecture，says．His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas．"You have the same building，same set of windows，but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun，it will be really expensive to cool．"
Surprisingly，the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings．"I don't believe in the new green religion，"Gerner says．"Gerner says．"Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical．I'm interested in those that work．"But he wouldn't mind if some green features inspire students．He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power．"You never know what's going to start the interest of a child to study math and science，"he says．

62．How did the architects react to Garner's design requirements？B

Dear Mrs．Winthorp，
So my first week at college is over!No lectures this morning so I think I'd email you and let you know what things are going．
I'm glad to say that anything has worked out fine in the dorm．I remember asking for a room as far away from the lifts as possible and they find me a comfortable one on second floor．There are two girls from my course here and I plan to make friend with them so that we can help each other on the course work．Everyone else seems very nice and warmly here．
Well，I had better to stop now．I'm going to attend mine first lesson this afternoon，for I've got some preparation to make，Keep in touch．
Best，
Carol．

8．It's not easy being a teenager（13至19岁青少年）-nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager．You can make your child feel angry，hurt，or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself．It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you you'll still be there for him when he needs you．
Expect a lot from your child，just not everything．Except for health and safety problems，such as drug use or careless driving； consider everything else open to discussion．If your child is unwilling to discuss something，don't insist he tell you what's on his mind．The more you insist，the more likely that he'll clam up． Instead，let him attempt to solve（解决）things by himself．At the same time，remind him that you're always there for him should he seek advice or help．Show respect for your teenager's privacy （隐私）．Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions．
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family．If your child talks on the family's telephone for too long，tell him he can talk for15minutes，but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time．This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls，but teaches your teenager moderation（节制）．Or if you are open to the idea，allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job
