Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
With more than 12, 500 plastic bottles being discarded(丢弃)every eight seconds, environmentalists are trying to come up with new innovative uses for this artificial(man－made)waste that is rapidly filling our landfills(垃圾填埋地)and harming our marine life．
Now, some developing nations are finding a new use for discarded bottles－building much－needed schools．A Central American organization called Pura Vida was the first to come up with this innovative idea．Instead of using building bricks, they filled plastic bottles with rubbish and built walls by piling them up between steel wires．The resulting structure was not only eco－friendly and cheap, but also as strong as a structure built using normal materials．
The project, which cost only US＄ 5, 181, was so successful that it had led to the establishment of a non－profit organization, Bottle Schools, which, with the support of San Diego－based Hug It Forward, has built five additional schools in Guatemala and has two more in the works．
Taking the hint from Bottle Schools is the My Shelter Foundation, which, under the leadership of Lilac Diaz, has started similar projects in Asia．Built on land donated by the government, the San Pablo, a Philippine school, was also built by volunteers and with “donations” of plastic bottles by the locals．However, unlike the other bottle schools, these bottles are filled with liquefied adobe(液化土坯)，which is three times stronger than concrete, and they are reinforced with steel bars．The school is also a lot more stylish than the previous ones, thanks to the different colors of the bottles and the open－air design．The best part is that this is just one of many such schools that will be built throughout the country．This kind of structure would be a great idea for developing countries around the world．And because it is good for the environment, perhaps it would also be a good way to celebrate Earth Day．

The expo theme, "Better City, Better Life", highlights the new thinking, new technologies and new practices for achieving healthy and sustainable urban living. Guided by these concepts, the New Zealand Pavilion will follow the theme, "Cities of Nature, Living between Land and Sky".
The aim of the pavilion is to present a welcoming vision of a nation that is working hard to bring its cities into a sustainable balance with nature; a country in which natural beauty, the inspiration that it brings, and the lifestyles that it permits, can exist alongside and contribute to a modern and creative first world economy.
In its form and content the pavilion takes inspiration from the Maori creation story in which the god Tane separated his parents, the Sky and the Earth, to create space both for the natural world and for human beings.
The location
The pavilion will be located in one of the prime sites at the expo, close to the host country's pavilion and alongside the enormous theme pavilion. It will neighbor on the main walkway and will be seen by virtually every visitor to the expo.
The design
Designed and built by international project management company Coffey Projects, the distinctive wedge-shaped pavilion will have a projected capacity of 40,000 visitors per day. It will cover approximately 75 percent of a 2000- square-metre corner site, close to both the China Pavilion and the China Theme Pavilion, and beside the main elevated walkway.
Two of the visitor experience areas:
Cities of Nature
Experiencing Inside the wedge, visitors will walk along a winding ramp(斜坡) that gradually rises up, taking them through a "day in the life" of a New Zealand family in a composite New Zealand city in a natural setting: from the mountains to the sea, past farmlands and bush and back towards the mountains, through a beachhouse, a school classroom and an office building.
Garden and wild places walk
Visitors will exit the Cities of Nature experience near the top of the wedge, and will then walk back down towards the corridor area through a garden planted with New Zealand trees and flowers, and making use of sculptural elements, audio and lighting.
