    Land Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.

    Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For examples, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty（螺旋状防波堤）, made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.

    Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.

    Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay（衰落）. That’s one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.

    1. What do we know about Robert Smithson?

    A. He is a great creative artist.

    B. He lives near the Great Salt Lake.

    C. He made the most famous Land Art.

    D. He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.

    2.One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies in _______.

    A. it shows the extreme beauty of nature

    B. it develops and decays gradually over time

    C. it combines the landscapes around completely

    D. it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature

    3.What is the passage mainly about?

    A. Works of Land Art. B. History of Land Art.

    C. Changes of Land Art. D. Introduction of Land Art.

    I am so pleasant to have a word with you about what you are going through right now. It is natural that people often miss your parents the first time they leave home. The fact is you cannot live with your parents forever. Most people had to leave home for higher education or employment. It is important that you should realize that present separation contributes to the healthy and optimistic personality.

    You need to make friend in school and share ideas with those live closest to you now. Because you will still，miss your parents，your new friends will bring happiness and joy to your new life. Beside，I suggest that you enjoy yourself by taking an active part in various activities in school, from whom you will get much pleasure.

    Wish you happiness every day.

    Faithfully yours，

    Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new material that can move heat out of buildings and into space. The researchers say the material can cool buildings even on hot days. The cooling material is a very thin sheet with many layers that could be placed on a roof like solar panels(板). However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into radiation.

    Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand. The panels act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect the light from the sun. And he says both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space. "It's a structure(构造) that cools itself without electricity input, even under the sun. So, what it does is basically radiate heat to outer space and also reflect the sunlight so it doesn't get heated up by the sun. Mr. Fan says it is like having a window into space. The heat is sent directly into space without warming the air.”

    He says buildings in developing countries that do not have electricity or air conditioning could use the panels. "In areas where electricity is out of reach for many people, there is a potential (潜在的) benefit for storing medicine or even food. In many of these situations, being able to reduce the temperature is important. And this would provide a way to do it.”

    The researchers say the main problem is creating actual cooling systems using the high-tech panels. They say it may be possible to develop a cooling spray(喷涂) that could be used on present solid structures. They believe the cooling spray technology could be developed in the next three to five years. They say as much as 15 percent of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems.

    1.The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.

    A. living on hot days is no longer a big problem now

    B. a new material is created to cool the buildings

    C. researchers are developing new solar panels on roofs

    D. the new material is a very thin sheet with many layers

    2.How does the panel work?

    A. It takes in the heat and cools it down.

    B. It uses a mirror to reflect the sunlight.

    C. It sends heat away right into space.

    D. It has a window to let out the heat.

    3.The new material is especially useful in areas that ________.

    A. suffer high temperature

    B. have poor air conditioning

    C. have plenty of food

    D. are short of power

    4.What can you infer from the passage?

    A. The appliance of the new panel is still under research.

    B. Some people got benefits from producing the panels.

    C. People may have problems in using the new material.

    D. The new panels may save 15 percent of the energy.
