        The idea of daylight saving time started with an American named Benjamin Franklin (1706--1790). He explained how a lot of the money spent on candles used for light (this was before electricity) could be saved if everyone woke up earlier and went to bed earlier.

    　　Even though Franklin's idea had a clear meaning, most people didn't want to get up earlier than they had to.Who would?

    　　It was not until 1907 that an Englishman named William Willet came up with a way to“ make” the sun set later His idea was to turn clocks forward by 20 minutes on each of the four Sundays in April, for a total of 80 minutes.

    　　William's idea was laughed at, at first. But when World War I started in 1914, many countries decided they had to save energy for the war.

    　　Daylight saving time has other uses. The more time you spend outside playing, the less time you are spending in front of the computer or the TV. These things also use energy.

    　　Also, daylight saving time sometimes causes problems. For example, China used it in 1986--but stopped it in 1991. That was because the temperatures are quite different from North to South and time from East to West.

    　　If the people from northwest part of China use daylight saving time, sometimes they have to get up to work when it is not very bright outside. That will cause some trouble for them.

    　　Still, most parts of the world do have daylight saving time, and most people look forward to the extra hour of evening light.

    　　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”(根)of the house is deep under the ground．It uses the soil(土壤)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．

    (1)

    What is the best title(标题)of the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Green house of the future．

    C．

    How to build green houses．

    D．

    Changes of the houses．

    (2)

    We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home．

    [　　]

    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．

    (3)

    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．

    (4)

    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．

    D．

    will be greener．

    (5)

    A chimney can be a useful air conditioner but it used to cause ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    pollution．

    B．

    accident．

    noise．
