There is a new take on an old tale.It's the story of the three

little pigs and the big bad wolf that blew down a house made of

straw and one made of sticks.The only house left standing was

the one made of bricks.Now there is new evidence to suggest

that houses built with bales(捆)of straw can be very strong.

Pete Walker is a professor at the University of Bath in Britain.

He and a team of researchers there have built a house made out of straw bale and hemp(大麻) material.During the next twelve months the team will study die effectiveness of these materials in home building.Professor Walker says there are many good reasons for using straw.It's a relatively inexpensive renewable material that's quickly and easily available.Straw takes in carbon dioxide as it grows.So it can be seen as having no harmful effects the environment.And the straw bales walls are relatively thick and so all that straw provides very good thermal insulation.So we make buildings that require very little heating in winter or indeed very little cooling in summer.So they require very little additional energy.

David Lanfear owns an eco-friendly home building service in the United States called Bale on Bale Construction.He says he laughed when some friends first told him about houses built of straw.But after doing his own research, he learned that building with straw bales makes a lot of sense.He has now helped to build more than ten straw bale houses and says the building material is becoming more widely accepted.To build the houses, he fills a wood frame with tightly packed bales of straw.Next he coats the walls inside and out with layers of clay plaster.He says the common ideas about straw houses continue, including stories about the threat of fire.As a matter of fact, straw bale houses have done well when tested for fire resistance.And his builders use the same building methods as traditional builders to keep out rain.He says we use what we call good shoes and a good hat, and that would be a solid foundation and a really good roof.

       A.is cooperating with David Lanfear in building houses

       B.is pretty sure that straw is a good building material

       C.is studying home building with his team at present

       B.need to wear good shoes in severe weather

       C.can reduce our household expense

       D.should use a special method to keep out rain

       B.straw bales have to be tested for fire resistance

       C.a wood frame of straw should be used as a good roof

My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but it wasn’t at that time.

Last Friday, after doing all family   31    in town, I wanted a rest   32    catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the    33    coffee shop—that cheap, self–service place with long    34    to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to   35    a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next   36    . It was one of those wild-looking youngsters,   37    dark glasses and worn clothes, and    38    colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did    39    me was that he had started to eat my chocolate.

Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid    40    —and really I was rather   41   

about him, I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me   42    , then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could   43     believe it. Still I didn’t dare to   44    an argument. When he took a    45    piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece”. And I got it.

The boy    46    me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out,” This   47    is crazy.” Everyone stared. That was embarrassing(令人难堪的)enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to   48    . My face went red—as red as his hair—when I    49    I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just    50    my newspaper.
