Zhang Xiaowen, who is sixteen, a middle school student in Northern China. She is

one of the best student in her class and she was won an award for young scientists last

year. When seating in the classroom she looks just like all her classmates and after

class her life is obvious different. She was born without the ability to use her legs and

she has no feeling below the waist. She had to use a wheelchair to get around and it

often takes her a little long to do everyday things, such as getting out of bed, getting

dressed and going to the school. So far she has created many programmes and one of

which received an award at her province’s science fair.

Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? ___71____ . Yet a very young child – or even an animal, such as a pigeon — can learn to recognize faces. We all take this for granted.

____72____ . When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.

Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. ____73____ . But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.

There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. ___74___ . Bookworms, conservatives, military types – people are described with such terms.

People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. ____75____ .

71________    72________    73________    74________   75________

A. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” look like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.

B. But we can easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad buys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

C. We also tell people apart by how they behave.

D. People have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints.

E. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing his personality.

F. Experts say that actors differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics in acting.

G. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another.

Today we bring you 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 of straw can be very strong. They are also very environmental.

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 bales and hemp material. During the next twelve months the team will study the effectiveness of these materials in home building. Professor Walker says there are many good reasons for using straw.

Professor Walker: “One of the benefits is it’s a relatively inexpensive renewable material that’s readily available.” He also agrees that straw takes in carbon dioxide as it grows and helps the environment in other ways. So it can be seen as having no harmful effects on the environment.

Professor Walker: “The straw bale walls are relatively thick and so all that straw provides very good thermal insulation. So we make buildings that require very little heating in the winter or indeed very little cooling in the summer. So they require very little additional energy.”

Professor Walker says this reduces home operating expenses. It also reduces the effect on the environment. He says the current interest in straw bale houses is a direct response to the problem of climate change.

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 made 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. Mr. Lanfear says straw bale houses have done well when tested for fire resistance. And he says his builders use the same building methods as traditional builders to keep out rain.

David Lanfear: “We use what we call good shoes and a good hat, and that would be a solid foundation and a really good roof.”

　 D. Houses made of bricks are no better than those made of straw.

69. The disadvantage of the house built with straw bales is ________________.

　 A. having no harmful effects on the environment

　 B. requiring very little additional energy

70. According to the passage, we know that ________________.

　 A. the house made of straw bales is still under research
