In the late 1800s, industrialization had driven urban populations and land prices up, making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective. Skyscraper construction exploded across the US after the turn of the 20th century. In New York, the record for the world's tallest building was broken six times between 1908 and 1931. The development of steel frames made it easier and cheaper to build tall. The invention of the elevator, meanwhile, made inhabiting higher floors far more convenient.
However, today's skyscrapers look little like those built in the first half of the 20th century. This is mostly thanks to architecture's next major technological change: the curtain wall. Soon, glass was produced quickly and uniformly, and glass windows soon became the choice for skyscrapers. Glass windows have many advantages. In addition to allowing for greater floor space and letting natural light come in more easily, glass is much more flexible. The usage of glass could also help buildings stand greater wind as well as huge swinging caused by earthquakes and typhoons.
"The role of skyscrapers has two parts," explains Simon Chan, an experienced architect. "Every city wants to have this landmark that gives that sense of unique culture, but they also need places for people to live and work in urban settings," he adds. A typical example is Hong Kong — one of the world's most expensive housing markets. Land there is very limited, and going high is almost the only solution. But there comes along the next big challenge. The buildings and their construction account for more than 1/3 of the world's energy consumption, and contribute to almost 40% of greenhouse gas emissions.
Glass skyscrapers, for example, will probably change the look of our skylines, adding beauty to our city. However, they rely on energy-consuming air conditioning to tackle heat-and-airflow problems. So, encouraging natural ventilation (通风) or using buildings themselves to produce solar or wind energy to reduce carbon emissions is the frontier for skyscraper architects. There should be many new developments in skyscraper design and technology with the aim of making skyscrapers something that saves energy.
Are you a tea drinker? If so, you're not alone. Every day around the world millions of cups of this popular brew are drunk, and it's been that way for thousands of years. The oldest discovered tea is from the Han Dynasty, dating from 206BC to 220AD.But it's thought that the tea trend really took off during the Tang Dynasty in the 8th Century, when it became China's national drink. Now, Turkey, the Republic of Ireland and the UK are believed to be the biggest tea-drinking nations, per capita.
Tea is consumed in many: ways - slurped, sipped or glugged. It can be poured from pots, infused or brewed in the cup using tea bags - and it's this latter process that is causing concern. Research last year found some premium tea bags might be leaving billions of microscopic plastic particles in the cup. Scientists from McGill University in Montreal found that some 'plastic' tea bags shed high levels of microplastics into water. However, The World Health Organization says such particles in drinking water do not appear to pose a risk.
Most tea bags are made from paper, with a small amount of plastic used to seal them shut -made from oil. This has led to debate about whether they can be recycled, but many are still composted. However, gardener Mike Armitage has told the BBC that the plastic contained in the soil could be washed into streams and rivers and ultimately out to sea.
Unilever, the owners of the tea brand PG Tips, said their tea bags are made with a small amount of plastic -used to seal them - and that they are suitable for composting. And the brand Yorkshire Tea said their bags do contain 25% polypropylene, but they were "actively developing plant-based and biodegradable alternatives".
While tea bag manufacturers might be doing their bit to reduce plastic pollution, it could be a good time to switch your favourite beverage to coffee, or if that isn't your cup of tea then try using loose-leaf tea, which can have a better flavour.
E. O. Wilson, "the Darwin of the 21st century", is considered the world's leading expert on ants and a pioneer of the theory of biodiversity.
Wilson was born in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1929. When he was young, he was crazy about the natural world and spent his childhood exploring woods and observing insects. When he was in high school, he narrowed his focus down to the study of insects. After earning his master's degree in biology in the University of Alabama, he went to Harvard University to work for a PhD in 1951. After graduation, he remained there for his career as a teacher.
Wilson authored many books and was awarded quite a few prizes, such as the Crafoord Prize and the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction. Wilson has a strong gift for storytelling and narrative. His books are easy to understand and can attract readers, even those who don't care much for scientific topics. In his writings, Wilson further enlarged his study from biology to other subjects, such as sociobiology, geography and even art.
The friendship between the scientist Finch and Wilson is also worth mentioning. "On his 88th birthday he wanted to collect ants in the delta so we wandered through an Alabama woodland," Finch recalled, "We also went to other areas like two boys getting into the woods." After retiring from teaching in 1996, Wilson founded the E. O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation to promote worldwide understanding of the importance of biodiversity. "He's still writing," said Finch. "He always tells me," This is my last book. "But he actually told me that six books ago."
Stress exhaustion is a combination of physical exhaustion and emotional exhaustion that is the result of long-term high-stress situations. Many may even experience feelings of extreme helplessness and hopelessness. If not addressed, it can lead to additional health problems.
The immune system, the body's first line of defense against illness, can be affected by stress. High amounts of stress send out certain chemicals that are unfriendly to the immune system. In the short term, this may not have a harmful effect..
Stress exhaustion also affects a person's work performance. Why? First of all, it can be very difficult for a person to make the right decision with stress exhaustion.. What's more, the person's ability to process new information can decrease. And his possibility of making costly and harmful mistakes during work increases.
In the case of students, too much schoolwork combined with working long hours can be dangerous. Housewives often struggle to take many difficult tasks, including caring for children and maintaining a household. Other people may also experience a unique combination of causes that result in stress exhaustion.
To prevent stress exhaustion, stress management techniques should be used.There are a variety of techniques to improve sleeping habits, for example, setting a sleep schedule. Avoiding food and exercise for at least four hours before sleeping has also been shown to improve sleep.
A. They start with enough healthy sleep.
B. The lack of sleep can also cause exhaustion.
C. He may find it difficult to remember things.
D. Thus, the immune system should be well protected by us.
E. But in the long run, the immune system will be damaged.
F. People suffering from this condition can feel tired and anxious.
G. Persons of all ages and occupations can be affected by stress exhaustion.
Life is colorful. Sometimes it's just like potato salad; when it's shared, it became a picnic.
With three young children to bring up, my husband John and I were very 1. "Can we go on a picnic, Mom?" my six-year-old daughter, Becky begged. "Please." I had said no so many times in 2 months, and I decided the usual Saturday morning chores could 3. To her 4, I agreed.
I prepared a few sandwiches and 5 a cooler with ice and drinks and called John 6.
My eleven-year-old twin sons loaded the cooler and the picnic basket in the trunk and off we went to spend some 7 time together as a family.
About the time I got the lunch 8 out on the table, John arrived on the 9. That was one of the happiest meals we ever shared together. The meal was full of laughter. We felt a closeness that had been hidden by work and school responsibilities for so many months. John and the boys threw rocks into the lake, Becky fed the ducks and I sat quietly at the picnic table,10 God for blessing me with such a wonderful family.
That night as our children went to bed, I kissed their cheeks. It 11 me what a wonderful life I had. As I walked out of the room it dawned on me that even the busiest 12 could become a picnic when it's shared with the ones you love. Even though kids have now grown up and 13 from home, I can still remember how I felt that day while sitting at the picnic table.
Maybe today would be a good time to 14 potato salad, call all of my 15 kids, feed some hungry ducks and skipped a few rocks into the lake. Since life is like potato salad, let's make it a picnic.
Shoppers seeking witches, ghosts and severed heads (decorate) their homes for Halloween (find) something truly scary this year: empty shelves.
The supply-chain snarls that have shaped much of life in the pandemic are now (responsibility) for shortages of Halloween décor and costumes.
A Home Depot spokeswoman says that stock on its Halloween items went quickly "as consumers are (engage) with decorating again this year."
The National Retail Federation predicts that Halloween spending will reach an all-time high this year of $10.1 billion, up a record $9.1 billion in 2017.
Franco Pacini, co-owner of costume mask company Zagone Studios, says the skyrocketing price of freight shipping and (rise) prices on items like foam are stretching the business financially. The company has met demand by ordering early and working seven days a week, he says. It's already placed (order) for next Halloween.
Some retailers are splurging on airfreight to avoid the backlog of container ships at U.S. ports, says Katherine Cullen, NRF's senior (direct) of industry and consumer insights. Other, smaller shops are buying up vintage or used masks, costumes and other paraphernalia from local collectors.
Amy Cobaugh, 49, avid Halloween decorator in North Canton, Ohio, got (create) when she couldn't find any fake spider webs to decorate her yard. She instead bought 10 pounds of elastic netting used to wrap meat.

My Dream Career
Good morning, everyone！
……
Thank you for listening!
I lived in the State of Texas, where sudden storms often happened every year. Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After lunch, Papa headed out to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started dinner. Everything seemed peaceful. Faye and I played happily in the yard. The heat had been building since dawn. Suddenly the temperature dropped— it felt good.
Then Mama shouted from the house, "Iris, you and Faye get inside, read quick now!"
I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust, like thick smoke from a railway engine's chimney. All the birds flew away. The stop lights nearby weren't working because of a power failure.
"Faye, go with Mama!" I shouted. "I'll warn Papa."
Faye ran toward the house. The storm hit so fast that I hardly saw her climb the steps. In a short time, the day turned into night. I screamed for Papa, hoping my voice would lead him back. But I couldn't hear or see him at all.
Some poor house roofs were blown off, and small trees down. I thought a terrible storm was on the way and the scene was "the worst I've seen in several years." The dirt and sand stung(刺痛) my face like a thousand bees. I needed to get to shelter. Covering my face with one hand, I made my way toward the car and opened the door. Dirt flew in with me as I pulled the door closed. Papa was still out somewhere! I needed to help him find the car.
I searched the dashboard (仪表板) and found the switch for the front lights. They made some rays, but would Papa see them in the thick darkness? I pushed the horn (喇叭) again and again, hoping Papa would hear it.
Paragraph 1: Suddenly, Papa's face appeared at the window.
Paragraph 2: Papa shut off the car's lights and I worried the dirt would bury us.
