That's the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out, but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they've been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won’t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.26.

However, a group of Dutch architects have already begun 3D printing an entire canal house in Amsterdam. Is the first 3D printed house a gimmick(喙头)？Definitely! Is it an experiment that pushes the possibilities for 3D printing technology and architecture? Maybe!3D Print Canal House is the brainchild of DUS Architects. “Kamer Maker,”Dutch for “room maker”, is their giant printer built inside a shipping container. Just a few weeks ago, Kamer Maker began printing plastic furniture and walls at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam. 58.Smaller versions of the unusual honeycomb walls have been tested on normal desktop printers, and everyone just needed to scale it up (按比例放大). Well, if only it were that easy.“The printer did not always manage to spread the plastic evenly(均匀的)，making some of the ribs of the honeycomb structure of the block uneven,” reported ARN(Australian Radio Network) to the surprise of no one who has used a 3D3printer. But the architects remain optimistic. The first few printed blocks are means to be test prices as they improve the process.It takes about a week to print a 3-meter high block right now. The project’s leaders hope to eventually get that down to two hours and finish the first of 12 rooms in a year, and the entire house in less than 3 years.Finally, 3D Print Canal House is an architecture research project, one that is very much being conducted in the public eye. You can actually buy tickets to visit the construction site for 2.50 Euros.The top floors will become more decorated, for example, as newer techniques are used. They’ll explore the possibilities of 3D printing, like honeycomb walls or an entire room recycled, redesigned, and built again. Nobody’s going to move into 3D printed house soon, but, if anyone ever dose, something might be learned from this experiment by the email.31.

It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良）and heal-related health problems.But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions. Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.Roger Pielke Jr. a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum's report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses4related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的)region s. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attent ion. “But the report, he said, ''will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change arc occurring in poor countries, according to the report.36. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?A. Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.B. Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.C. Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.D. Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.37. What do we learn about the Forum's report from the passage?A. It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.B. It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.C. It was warmly received by environmentalists.D. It caused a big stir in developing countries.38. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?A. Its statistics look embarrassing.B. It is invalid in terms of methodology.C. It deserves our closest attention.D. Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.39. What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?A. Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.B. It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.C. It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.D. Its rough estimates arc meant to draw the attention of world leaders.40. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?A. How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing globalwarming.B. How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.C. How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.D. How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.Part Ⅲ Close (1*15)Who won the World Cup 1994 football game? What happened at the United Nations?
