Read the following passage and choose the best option to complete the blank or answer the question
The green building movement is changing the way buildings are constructed. This movement started in
the 1970s, as people began to see that modern life was destroying the environment we all share. Natural
resources were being destroyed, energy and water consumption was rising, and so was pollution of all kinds.
This environmental destruction has continued, and one important factor has been the way that buildings are
constructed. In fact, energy use in buildings represents about 32 percent of all energy use in the United States.
In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact
of buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the green building movement is growing, as builders
have been able to take advantage of new technology and as the costs of this technology have gone down.
Environmental building methods are now practical enough to save money for builders and for building owners,
even as they reduce damage to the environment.
First, green builders try to make use of recycled materials as much as possible. In fact, vast amounts of
materials such as steel, cement, and wood are used in construction. Now there are companies that specialize in
gathering old materials, processing them, and selling them to builders for new buildings. States and cities are
encouraging these companies, as the reuse of materials also means less waste in dumps. For larger builders or
individual homeowners, it is possible to find everything from steel and cement to doors, windows, sinks, tubs,
brick, and hardware.
Another way that builders can reduce environmental impact is to reduce the energy requirements of a
building. This can be done in several ways. One is to provide an alternative, nonpolluting source of energy. The
first alternative energy source to be developed was solar power. With solar panels-wide, flat sheets of special
material-it is possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Builders can install solar panels on the
roofs of buildings and connect them to cooling or lighting systems. Once the panels are installed, they provide
energy at no cost and with no pollution. Another, nonpolluting solution for reducing energy use is a technology
known as geothermal heating. To obtain geothermal heat, builders place special pipes below ground, where

A. build green buildings.
B. work in green buildings.
C. use green materials.
D. put trees in buildings.
Question 7: According to the passage, all of the following can be made from recycle materials EXCEPT

buildings.

Question 9: Solar panels are NOT used to
A. light the house
B. cool the house
C. warm the house
D. transfer electricity to the sun rays.
Question 10: Geothermal heating technology is
A. using underground pipes to collect geothermal heat.
B. collecting pipes from below ground.
C. using underground pipes to control underground temperature.
D. using up the heating energy.

through it properly. During the operation, it had been fairly easy for Upton to reattach the arteries that brought
blood to his patient's ear, since artery walls are thick and easy to see. However, since the veins that carry blood
away from the ear are much smaller and hard to find, Upton had not been able to reattach enough of them. If
something wasn't done quickly, the ear would not survive.
Luckily, Dr. Upton remembered an article he had read about research into the properties of leeches.
Through the results of the research were still uncertain, Upton decided to take a chance. He bought some
leeches from a laboratory and placed them on the boy's ear and they began to feed. The boy felt no pain
because the mouths of leeches contain a natural painkiller. As the leeches sucked some of the extra blood out of
the boy's ear, they added a special chemical to the blood so it would not harden and form clots and it would
flow more easily. Within a few minutes, the boy's ear began to lose the terrible black color. The leeches had
soon eaten enough and fell off. Several days later, after applying more leeches, the boy's ear was entirely pink
and healthy. Other doctors then began to experiment with the use of leeches in the reattachment of other body
parts, and finally, in 2004, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved the use of medicinal
leeches in reconstructive surgery.
