No one knows when the first house was built and who the first one to build the house was. But the houses are changing all the time.

31. What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects(建筑学家)believe that they may come true one day. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible in the future.

32. Many architects in the world would like to build a house like a leaf—the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even make fresh air for the room. The “root”(根)of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the room’s temperature.

33. Like a lizard(蜥蜴), changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.

34. This design is perhaps for the future of food. It has a garden on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.

35. Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, the old ways of building houses can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney(烟囱)can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to run out of the chimney.

A. Learning from the past

B. Meals at home

C. The lizard house

D. Houses in the future

E. The tree house

F. The history of the houses

Some people succeed, while others may not. This is because some people have certain qualities, which others do not.

The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, you must be optimistic(乐观). If you do not expect to win, you will not try as hard as people who do expect to win. You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation(动机) is a key to getting success. If you do not have an aim, then you won’t work hard and put your performance under the microscope(显微镜) to make sure that every detail is right.

Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity---thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing. Think about some successful people you know. They might be successful with a little creativity, but the most successful people are the most creative ones.

Reading is another way to success, as it will help you learn about how other people have got success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang, who have got amazing success in their areas of business.

Practicing is also important if you want to be successful because practice makes perfect. Practise every day at whatever career you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself, your business and your self-confidence begin to grow. If you feel confident about what you do, this confidence will make other people believe in you as well. Your workmates will be happy to work with you, and your boss will give you more responsibility(责任). Finally if you are a successful person, you will be able to look people in the eye and smile confidently.
