In their 1 conversation, each eye contact (接触) 2 only about a second before one or both persons look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each others 3 , emotions are heightened and the relationship becomes more intimate (亲密的). 4 , they carefully avoid this, except in proper occasions.Proper street behaviors in the United States require a nice 5 of attention and inattention. You are 6 to look at a passer-by just enough to show that youre aware of his presence. If you look too 7 , you appear too proud; if you look too much, you are too curious.

One way is the greater production of common energy sources, such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.Another way is energy conservation which means using energy more efficiently. In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.Finally, renewable energy, sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometer down. At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.1. How many ways of dealing with the energy problem are discussed in the text?A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.2. From the text we learn that coal _.A. is quite easy to produce B. is not used most efficientlyC. is the most common source of energy D. could be renewed only by new technology3. The writer tells about the “special houses” because they _.A. show the excellent skills of the buildersB. serve as an example of energy conservationC. are heated by different sources of energyD. are warmer than other types of houses4. The underlined words “geothermal energy” in the third paragraph mean _.A. renewable source B. underground sourceC. heat inside the earth D. temperature of the earth(B)Holiday-makers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel moms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the worlds first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.In two weeks time Bergqvists ice creation (作品) will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We dont see it as a big problem, ”he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”Bergqvist built his first igloo (圆顶冰屋) in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door, ”he says.After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing hotel break. “Its great fun,” Bergqvist explains, “as well as a good start in survival training.”The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. “You can get a lot of people in,” explains Bergqvist. “The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”5. Bergqvist designed and built the worlds first igloo hotel because _.A. he believed people would enjoy trying something newB. he wanted to make a name for the small townC. an art exhibition was about to openD. more hotel moms were needed6.
