1 Trees, plants and flowers are all around us and we enjoy their beauty every day. In fact, we are so used to them that we may even take them for granted without realising how much inspiration they have given us. When we look at a pine cone, we might think how much it looks like the tiles on a roof. An open flower might make us think how closely it resembles(v. 像，类似) an umbrella. It is natural to think in this way, but of course it wasn’t the umbrella that inspired the flower or the roof that inspired the pine cone.

We should be grateful to our parents’ love instead of taking it for granted.
2 Nature has inspired many of the most fascinating designs around us, including those in architecture. From Barcelona’s forest-like Sagrada Familia to the modern style of Beijing’s Water Cube从巴塞罗那的森林般的圣家族大教堂到现代风格的北京水立方, nature is presented in various architectural designs. Today, architects continue to explore ways to capture the beauty of natural forms, to mimic the way (that/in which) nature works or even to make natural organisms(有机体，生物体，微生物） part of a building.

ArtScience Museum, Singapore
3 People whose interest is exploring the relationship between art and science will enjoy Singapore’s ArtScience Museum. The building was designed to show the connection between nature and the modern city environment in which it sits. Shaped to resemble a lotus flower, it appears to float above the waterfront promenade and the water that surrounds it. Its roof collects rainwater and channels引导（水、能量等） it 35 metres down to a waterfall in the centre of the space\museum. The water is then recycled through the building’s plumbing system. Visitors are often amazed to find themselves in an urban building that so truly captures the beauty of natural forms. find oneself＋宾语补足语”意为“发现自己……”

The Eastgate Centre, Harare哈拉雷东门大厦
4 Harare’s Eastgate Centre is a superb example of biomimicry. To use biomimicry is to create structures based on natural forms and processes. Zimbabwean津巴布韦architect Mick Pearce was inspired to create the Centre while watching a nature documentary in which termites were constructing their nests. The insects built mounds（which were）covered in little holes designed to allow air to move freely in and out of the mounds.
be based on 以……为基础；根据……
The novel is based on a true story.
4 In a similar way, the Eastgate Centre has a “skin” covered in holes. During the day, warm air is drawn into the building through the holes, cooling as/when it reaches the middle of the building. At night, the heat absorbed by the wall during the day warms the cool air, creating a comfortable temperature inside. The design reduces the need for traditional air conditioning(空气调节系统） and heating systems, so the building uses less energy and costs less to run.

The Algae House, Hamburg汉堡藻屋
5 The world’s first algae-powered building is in Hamburg, Germany. The surface of the apartment building is covered in panels（嵌板，控制板）） that contain algae. The algae are fed with（以……为养料） liquid nutrients and carbon dioxide to encourage them to grow. In bright sunshine, they grow faster and provide shade（阴凉处）. The panels also capture heat from the sun and convert it into energy that powers the building. And that’s not all---the algae inside the panels can be harvested（收获，获取） and used to produce fuel. The building therefore not only responds to its environment and uses less energy, but also reduces damage to the environment by generating its own renewable energy.
