Children should use Google an Yahoo to improve their essays, according to the official exams watchdog．Ofqual said putting keywords into Internet search engines was a "good starting point" when researching specific articles．

       But guidance sent out to schoolchildren in England warns pupils to be extremely careful when using other websites such as Wikipedia．The on-line encyclopedia（百科全书）—created using contributions from readers—was not " authoritative or accurate" and in some cases " may be completely untrue" , said Ofqual．

       The comments were made in a series of documents sent to pupils, parents and teachers warning against cheating at school．

       Ministers have already outlined （概述） plans to give up coursework in most subjects-replacing it with controlled projects in the classroom under teacher control．It followed the publication of a report that warned coursework had become "less useful "as children were increasingly tempted by websites offering to help them write articles．

       One notice for teachers tells them to carefully examine pupils' work for signs of "cutting and pasting"from websites．Among the most obvious performance was when an article suddenly changed " in font （字体） , styles , sizes and line spacing" , Ofqual said , indicating that passages had been carelessly copied ．

       Teachers were also told to look out for the use of phrases and spellings in American English, suggesting pupils had downloaded work from foreign websites suggesting pupils had downloaded work from foreign websites．This includes phrases such as " go get" for" go and get" for " go and get" ," have gotten " instead of " have got”．

       Parents are also warned against giving sons and daughters too much help．They should discuss coursework with their children but "not give direct advice on what should or should not be include-ed", said Ofqual．

       But Ofqual insisted that the guidance should not stop pupils using the Internet．ALL passages taken from websites should be cited, it said, and pupils should rely on authoritative on-line sources when researching work．

       It added that Google and Yahoo could be "a good starting point for your research" and pupils should use search engine "advanced choices" to Limit results．

       Rooftops covered with plants —called "green roofs"—could help fight global warming, scientists now suggest．

Green roofs are growing more popular in cities, with the number of green roofs In Germany, widely considered the leader in green roofing, some 12 percent of all flat roofs are green, with the German green roof industry growing 10 to 15 percent annually．

These roofs can reduce heating and air conditioning costs, with a roughly 10 percent reduction in natural gas usage and a 2 percent drop in electricity use for a typical building． Moreover, green roofs last two to three times longer than standard roofs．They also store storm water, which could otherwise exacerbate(加剧） flooding．" They can also bring in birds and butter flies ．help improve biodiversity（多样性） , " Rowe said ．In addition to taking in pollution and noise, the plants in green roofs naturally absorb carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas behind global warming．However, Scientists at Michigan State University found that replacing traditional roofing materials with green roofs in an urban area the size of Detroit, with a population of about one million , would take dioxide sent out by 10 , 000 mid-sized SUVs and trucks ．

       The challenges green roofs now face in the United States are something about policy and costs． "The government should not necessarily mandate（强制执行） them, but it can provide support for them, just as they do in Germany and elsewhere, " Rowe told live Science．"And green roofs are more expensive, but only initially．Over time, they're cheaper once you consider their benefits energy-wise．It takes about 11 to 14 years to break even．"

       A．Green roofs are becoming more popular in cities and rural areas．

The relationship between the United States and France began during America's quest for independence from Great Britain in 1776．Benjamin Franklin was among those who served on the diplomatic front during the Revolutionary War．By living in Paris as the American ambassador, Benjamin cultivated a relationship with the French government and the French people．As a result, French soldiers fought alongside the American colonists （拓殖者） ．Paris was the site for peace negotiations between the United States and Great Britain at the end of the war．

　　　 Ellis Island, which was the arrival point for European immigrants, is part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument．Between 1892 and 1924, more than 22 million passengers saw the Statue of Liberty as they passed through Ellis Island and the Port of New York．This landmark of freedom became a National Monument in 1924 and a major tourist attraction in the 20th Century．
