with plans to build homes and a golf course that float. an increase in sea levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would make the maldivesa nation of tiny coral islands in the indian oceanvirtually uninhabitable by 2100, the uns climate change panel has warned. president mohamed nasheed has vowed a fight for survival, and last month he signed a deal with a dutch company to study proposals for a floating structure that could support a conference centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course. “it is still early stages and we are awaiting a report on the practicality,” a government official who declined to be named said. the company, dutch docklands, is currently building floating developments in the netherlands and dubai. there was no immediate comment from the firm but its website said it undertook projects that make “land from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on land”. the maldives began to work on an artificial island known as the hulhumale near the crowded capital island of male in 1997 and more than 30,000 people have been settled there to ease congestion. the city, which has a population of 100,000, is already protected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall, and the government is considering increasingly imaginative ways to combat climate change. nasheed, who staged the worlds first underwater cabinet meeting in october to highlight his peoples serious and difficult situation, has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the world to enable maldivians to relocate if their homes are completed covered. he has also promised to turn his nation into a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” by 2020. his plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources such as burning coconut husks. 1. why do you think mohamed nasheed chose dutch docklands? a. because it has experience in building floating structure. b. because it has a good fame throughout the world. c. because it charged much less than other companies. d. because it supports building floating structures in the world. 2. the hulhumale was built with the purpose

consumption.large numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that weve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills. looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student halls, i consider myself lucky to still be alive. unfamiliar to freshers, there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of students accommodation.i have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, i think i have now finally acquired all the domestic (居家的) skills i missed out in my modem education.in 2006 and 2010, the charming educationist sir ken robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the importance of creativity in education. robinsons main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents. i would like to go a step further and propose that besides our talents, the system takes away what used to be passed from generation to generation a working knowledge of basic life skills.todays graduates may have earned themselves honor in history, law or economies, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.since the invention of the internet, it has never been easier for people to access information, but our highly specialized education has made us more one sided than ever.i suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of “domestic science” education, before the current lack leads to serious accidents in student halls.36people call us useless students for the reason that .awhat weve learned is beyond consumptionbwe are educated generationcweve entered higher
