Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesn't want to save just one tree-he wants to save a whole rainforest! In the Redwood City, Calif, a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four years ago to do just that. So far, the team’s members have raised $4,500. That's enough to purchase and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem Survival. Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide.Logging (伐木) and farming are mostly likely to blame, scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the world's plants and animals. Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate. Evan's work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes. The prizes are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world.Evan's goal is "to save enough rainforests to last forever". He won't have to do it alone.His actions have already inspired other kids to chip_in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other kids are starting their own conservation teams. Evan says every one can help the planet-even by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his family try to make a difference every day. "We recycle, we try to limit our garbage...we've been walking a little more, and we buy local food," Evan said. |

Architecture is to building as literature to the printed word.The best buildings are often so well constructed that they outlast their original use. They then survive not only as beautiful objects, but as documents of the history of cultures. These achievements are never wholly the work of individuals. Architecture is a social art. 2. The Renaissance brought about an entirely new age, not only in philosophy and literature but in the visual arts as well.In architecture, the principles and styles of ancient Greece and Rome were brought back to life and reinterpreted (重新诠释). They remain dominant until the 20th century. 3. Many kinds of stone are used as building materials. Stone and marble were chosen for important monuments because they are not burnable and can be expected to endure.Stone architecture was often blended with stone sculpture. The use of stone has declined, however, because a number of other materials are more adaptable to industrial use.  4. The complexity of modern life calls for a variety of building. More people live in mass housing and go to work in large office buildings; they spend their income in large shopping center  s, send their children to many different kinds of schools, and when they are sick they go to specialized hospitals and clinics. All these different types of building accumulated experiences needed by their designers. 5. By the middle of the 20th century, modern architecture, which was influenced by new technology and mass production, was dealing with increasingly complex social needs. Important characteristics of modern architectural works are expanses of glass and the use of reinforced concrete (钢筋混凝土). Advances in elevator technology, air conditioning, and electric lighting have all had important effects. |
