The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆).
Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The building—the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex—uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning equipment didn’t have to be imported.
The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.
During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.
This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature changes—days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃ at night. “You couldn’t do this in New York, with its hot summers and cold winters,” Pearce said.
The engineering firm of Ove Arup & Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh—far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.
1.Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?
A. It was designed in a smaller size.
B. No air conditioners were fixed in.
C. Its heating system was less advanced.
D. It used rather different building materials.
2.What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A. Hollow space.
B. Baseboard vent.
C. Fresh air from outside.
D. Heat in the building.
3.Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York?
A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.
B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.
C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.
D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.
4.The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature control system_____.
A. works better in hot seasons
B. can recycle up to 30% of the air
C. functions well for most of the year
D. allows a wide range of temperatures

When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it like it’s the most precious thing in the world．Because in some ways, it is．
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves．
And that’s only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes．We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home, school and work．Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．
Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow．If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible．
By trial and error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly．
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible．
Think about how we learn: we don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it．You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away．Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something．That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults．Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do．You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey．Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey．
So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes．They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible．
1.Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?
A．Because mistakes make us suffer a lot．
B．Because it’s a natural part in our life．
C．Because we’ve been taught so from a young age．
D．Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers．
2.According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?
A．We should try to avoid making mistakes．
B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes．
C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn．
D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．
3.The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means_________．
A．a small child learning to walk
B．a kindergarten child learning to draw
C．a primary pupil learning to read
D．a school teenager learning to write
4.We can learn from the passage that_________．
A．most of us can really grow from success
B．growing and improving are based on mistakes
C．we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D．we read about something and know how to do it right away
