　　Do you have any foreign friends? Do you know their characteristics(特征)?

　　The Germans are very quiet and they always keep calm. They don’t like to speak more words. They look very serious. They like different kinds of amusements. The Germans are very hard—working. They like tidiness, especially the women, who always keep their home clean.

　　In some ways, the Englishmen look the same as the Germans. They are very quiet and never talk too much with the strangers. They are really polite, so we often hear they say “Thank you.” Or “Sorry.” The gentlemen are also the Englishmen.

　　The French’s holidays are very long. They like traveling and usually spend their long time staying in other countries. The Frenchmen are more outgoing than the Germans. It is very easy to make friends with them.

　　Compared to the Frenchmen, the Americans are more outgoing. And they are even opener than all of the Europeans. They don’t like to depend on others. So it is very common that the students do part-time jobs in their free time. And in Americans’ eyes, success is an important part in their life.

　　We all know the dangers of fires. It’s good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.

　　Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.

　　Make escape plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.

　　Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.

　　Practise for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:

　　★Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.

　　★Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.

　　★What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket(毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.

　　There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help.

　　What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects 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” of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil 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 architecture (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.

　　61. What is the best title of the passage?

　　A. Green house of the future.

　　B. The greener, the better.

　　C. How to build green houses.

　　D. Changes of the houses.

　　A. with the root of a leaf.

　　B. with the energy from sunlight.

　　C. with the soil under the ground

　　D. with gardens on its walls.

　　63. What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?

　　A. It will take in light.

　　B. It will produce energy.

　　C. It will turn dark.

　　D. It will turn white.

　　64. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future .

　　A. will be more delicious.

　　B. need more cooks.

　　C. cost as much as possible.
