7．What will the house of the future look like？Could it have gardens on its walls，or a pool with fish for dinner？Architects （建筑师）believe that they are all possibilities．The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible．
The tree house
Many architects in the world would like to build a"tree 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 create fresh air for the home．The"root"（根） of the house is deep under the ground．It uses the soil （土壤） to the home's temperature．
The Lizard house
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 dark to protect it from strong heat．During dark days，it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy．
Meals at home
This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architec ture （建筑风格）．It has gardens on the outside wall of the house．People can plant tomatoes，carrots and green tea on them．So every day in the morning，you just need to walk outside and collect your meals．
Learning from the past
Looking to the future isn't the only way to be green．Sometimes，ancient techniques （古老的技术） can also help cut down energy use．For example，a chimney （烟囱） can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier of hot air to flow out at the chimney．

"I think if the companies get the food with no checking，they will never check their food．It gives them the chance of making the food of poor quality，"an old man said in the shop．"I hope our government not only gives it up，but also makes some strong rules to manage the companies，"a young woman told us．"The important point is our government should send officers to the companies and check their food every time，"a shop owner said．A young expert of food safety said，"The department of government should take the food from the shop or supermarket and check，not ask them to send．In that way，we can get the real checking．"

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times （46）faster than that of sound．In one （47）second，light travels about 300，000kilometers，but sound travels only 340meters．You can get some idea of this difference by （48）watching the start of a running match．If you stand far away from the starter（发令员），you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound （49）reaches your ears．
The fast speed of light produces some strange facts．The nearest star is （50）so far away that light which you can see from it tonight started to travel to you four years （51）ago at a speed of nearly two million kilometers every minute．The light from some of tonight's stars started on its （52）journey towards you even before you were born．
So，if we want to be honest，we （53）can't say，"The stars are shining brightly tonight．"We have to say，"The stars look nice．They were （54）shining four years ago，but their light has just reached the （55）earth．"It's really amazing，isn't it!"

The London Olympic Games are coming soon．This summer，Chinese sports fans will be able to watch the exciting games in 3-D on CCTV．
When you watch 3-D movies or TV，you have to wear a special pair of glasses．The 3-D glasses make the people and the things on the screen look like they are in the room with you．
3-D，means having three*dimensions：*width，height and*depth.3-D technology is based on the way the human brain and eye work．Because the*pupils of a person's eyes are about 6.5cm apart，when we look at something，each eye sees it from different*angle．Our eyes send the two pictures to our brain，and the brain puts them together．The small difference between the picture from the right eye and the picture from the left eye make us see depth．
While watching 2-D films，we don't have to wear the special glasses．We see the pictures in two dimensions，each eye get the same information．This is because there is only one way of watching it．
So the aim of 3-D technology is to get a different picture into each eye of the person．It uses two film*projectors．One*projects a left eye picture and the other projects a right eye picture．When we are in the cinema，we can see different pictures in each eye at the same time with the help of the 3-D glasses．
While watching 3-D films，we feel that we are actually in the same environment as the things we are watching．However，some people are against watching 3-D films．One of the reasons is the 3-D glasses makes the screen of the film or TV look darker．It is bad for eyes．What's more，people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3-D movies，because their brains need to work harder to"read"the pictures．
