What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects (建筑师)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” of the house is deep under the ground It uses the soil to keep 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, firing 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 which used to pollute the environment can now be a useful air conditioner because.it is easier for hot air to flow out through the chimney.

We live in a sweet world. The average' American kid takes more than 20 teaspoons of sugar per day. and adults eat 50% more sugar today than they did in the 1970s. We all know that too much sugar isn't good for us, but do we know it could be dangerous? A team of researchers at the University of Utah used mice for a study on the negative effects of sugar. They found it could have serious effects on people's health.
Sugar is found not only in sweets and candies, but also in other foods like pasta and biscuits.
During the 58-week-Iong study, mice were having a diet containing 25% more sugar. This amount equals a healthy human diet along with three cans of soda daily. The team found these mice were twice as likely to die as those eating without the additional sugar, even though the mice did not show signs of getting much weight or high blood pressure.
Scientists often use mice for research because they have a similar genetic structure(基因结构)to humans. "Since most substances(物质)that are dangerous in mice are also dangerous in people, it's likely that those physical problems that cause the increasing deaths of mice are the same in people," says study author James Ruff of the University of Utah. Findings show negative effects cannot be seen as easily a3 weight gain or heart problems. Sugar can lead to long-term changes in the body and even shorten lives.
Cutting sugar out of the American diet may be difficult but making the effect to control our nation's desire for sugar will be helpful for a truly sweeter future.
