Tony Wrench and his wife Faith, wearing the traditional woolly jacket, have set up their home in the shadows of Preseli Mountains.
They built the house in the winter of 1997 with the dream of living what they call“low-impact lives”. Their dream is to get close to nature, have little pollution and prove they can change the world. But their action was stopped almost a year later by the local government. Eventually, a new rule about environment protection was brought and the government encouraged the couple to carry on their “low-impact lives”.
The completed house is built around a frame of 200 firs(冷杉木)and made entirely of natural materials, in a style that is part-native American, part-ancient Celt. Mr. Wrench said this house was more like a sort of large basket. The most expensive part of the building was the rubber (橡膠 ) pond-liner for the roof at ￡650—all in it cost a grand total of￡3, 000, the labor being supplied by the couple and a few good friends. The idea is to try to make the most of the natural resources around them, reducing their impact as much as possible on the environment.
Electricity is generated from three solar panels on the roof and a small windmill. Food is mostly home-grown (自產的) and they even make their own wine from a vine（藤）on the roof. Drinking water comes from the mountain stream and hot water is more or less on-tap through a back-boiler system fixed up to the back of the fire by the old whisky barrel(桶).
Waste is dealt with by being rotted, which in turn provides fertilizer for the corns and vegetables etc. . They are by no means tired of life; on the contrary they like it. Mr. Wrench in particular likes nothing better than a nice hot bath. They wait for enough wind to charge the laptop so they can watch a DVD in the evening.
Their life is not a challenge of existence; they say—just an attempt to keep their footsteps on the planet as light as possible.
55. What can we know from the passage?
A. Mr. Wrench planned to run a wine factory when he was young.
B. Mr. Wrench and Faith love their house and have been in it for twenty years.
C. Mr. Wrench and Faith’s behavior once was forbidden by the local government.
D. Mr. Wrench and Faith can’t watch TV in their house because there’s no electricity.
56. From the text we learn that the couple’s house______.
A. cost them 3, 650 pounds in all
B. is only made of about 200 firs
C. is not strong enough to resist the wind
D. was built by them and some of their friends
57. The food that the couple eat is mostly______.
A. produced by themselves
B. bought from a supermarket
C. offered by the government
D. grown on the roof of their house
58. According to the passage, the waste is______.
A. dealt with to help crops grow better
B. thrown away
C. buried deeply
D. sold to other farmers

When we think about giving help to developing countries, we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it's far from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to come up with some better ideas to help them.
I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer and he planed to produce a lot and sell them to the children in developing countries at a low price after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop will be covered in rubber so that it is very strong and won't be damaged easily. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to surf the Internet. By improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to 'kill two birds with one stone’, and that is always a good thing.
【小題1】It's an excellent idea to recycle old mobile phones because .
| A．it reduces waste and can help others |
| B．it prevents waste and can earn lots of money |
| C．it can send the waste produced by developed countries to other countries |
| D．it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users |
| A．to show what high technology can bring us |
| B．to show the kindness of people in the developed countries |
| C．to show how to find business opportunities in developing countries |
| D．to give an example of how to help developing countries |
| A．A newspaper. | B．A magazine. |
| C．A lecture. | D．An advertisement. |
