and birds. but dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time - at least twenty or thirty years. like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. they also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. we now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw. strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people. there is a story about sailors in the 19th century. in a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of new zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called jack. from 1871 to 1903 jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called the penguin shot and wounded jack. he recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the areaexcept for the

building materials and the fashions for their houses. however, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat. houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. in some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜). during cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. the reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. the body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. by sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat. people who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. however, home builders use the fact that heat rises. this natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. as they are open to the suns rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. they also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. so these houses are energy saving. house building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. they try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. and someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy saving houses. 12what did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap? athe climate of their areas bthe energy for their houses cthe fashions for their houses dthe building materials for their houses 13people in some areas gain a source of heat by _. akeeping their livestock downstairs bprotecting their livestock from the cold csharing their houses only with their cows dliving on the second floor with their livestock 14the underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that _. aheat raises the temperature in the houses bheat increases the temperature of rocks cheat goes up if temperature is raised dheat goes in the upward direction15from the passage, we can infer that _. apeople will no longer consider building materials in the future benergy saving buildings will become more popular in the future calmost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks denergy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology.
