And homes are responsible for about one fourth of the nation's total energy use. But there are surprisingly simple ways to deeply cut energy use，its effect on the environment and its cost. David Peabody and his team at Peabody Architects design passive homes. He says the design of a passive house aims to reduce energy demand to its lowest possible level. Passive houses use no solar，geothermal or wind energy equipment. Bat they are extremely energy efficient.Mr Peabody says passive houses cut heating and cooling costs by about 90 percent. But what sets his design apart from other "green homes" is that it looks like any other home. Peabody Architects says it is building the first passive home in the Washington. D.C. area. But it will not he the last. In Arlington. Virginia. Roger Lin and his brother Eric are also building one. Roger Lin of Southern Exposure Homes explains that windows are sealed against leaks and have three layers of glass. The windows are airtight. On a cold winter day，the temperature inside the unfinished home is a comfortable 12 degrees，or 50 degrees Fahrenheit.David Peabody says you can find passive honks all over the world. DAVID PEABODY："North Africa，for example，has a passive house community designing for very hot dry climates.” The first passive design was an apartment building inDarmstadt，Germany. Two physicists helped develop it about 20 years ago. Passive houses use some specialized materials. These include precast concrete panels and insulation(隔热).They also need to have special air treatment systems. Supporters say they cost only about five or eight percent more than traditional homes. But they use 10 percent of the energy for heating and cooling.28.Which of the following is the advantage of passive houses?A.They are extremely energy efficient.B.They look much like the other houses.C.They cost much less than traditional houses.D.They are more comfortable than other houses.29.People are building or living in passive homes in the following places EXCEPTA.ArlingtonB.MexicoC.North AfricaD.Germany30.What can be implied in the passage?A.Passive homes arc especially built for winter use.B.Passive homes can be found everywhere in the world.C."Green homes" differ from traditional homes in their appearances.D.The construction of passive homes takes advantage of high technology.31.What is the author's attitude toward passive homes?A.Objective.B.Negative.C.Doubtful.D.Optimistic.DSAN FRANCISCO－DJI，a Chinese manufacturer of consumer and commercial drones，made headlines in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond last week by helping to locate a missing teen. The police department in Fremont，California，on Tuesday, issued a public notice detailing how a drone had helped officers locate a missing teen.A police dispatcher(调度员)received a call around 8:30 pm on Feb 5 from the California Highway Patrol，which requested assistance in locating a missing student from the California School for the Deaf.Several officers responded on foot to the scene，conjunction of railroad track and road.

The pilot then guided officers through the communication system to approach the youth，who was cold and hungry. He was then rushed to paramedics(护理人员)nearby.Lieutenant Matt Snelson，in charge of the department's unmanned aerial-vehicle program，said the search for and rescue of "a young man who needed help，and to get him to the resources he needed" was a big success for "our UAV(无人机)team and our community". The technology allowed officers to expedite the search，which normally could have taken several hours and more resources，he said，adding，"We have been training and expanding our program to be prepared for this exact scenario.”Fremont，home to Tesla and several high-tech unicorn startups，is an early adopter of drones. The city administrator approved the purchase of the drones，along with the mecessary training，about three years ago."We feel so grateful that our technology has been used to help a young man's life.”Adam Lisberg，corporate communication director of DJI North America，told China Daily. According to available statistics，the Fremont teen was the 211th on a global public safety list of drone-assist rescues，said Lisberg.
