The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental
destruction, is changing the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders

were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were
considered unrealistic. Now, however, the movement is growing, as builders have been able to
take advantage of new technology.
Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps.

Also, they reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One
way is to provide an alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is
possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Once installed, they provide energy at
no cost and with no pollution.
Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible
to cut down the electricity use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing lowenergy light bulbs. To reduce the amount of fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also
add insulation to the walls so that the building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most
environmentally responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and
building had to consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees
and the need to lessen the negative environmental impact. 75 percent of the building materials
were recycled materials, and the energy use has been reduced by 43 percent and water use by 32
percent, compared with other buildings of the same size.
In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed
according to green building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was
once the site of army housing. The site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30
percent less energy than conventional ones. These houses, heated by special non-polluting
systems, are also equipped with solar panels.
A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include
houses for 400 families built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall
insulation. In a second phase, entire neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well,

the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas in new neighborhoods across China.
Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies,
and governments are beginning to see their benefits. Green buildings not only are
environmentally friendly, improve living and working conditions but also save money in the
long run.

D. They are more economical and produce no pollution.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only
in the past two decades. The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the
ecosystems with the highes species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance
and fragility of biological diversity. The high rate of species extinctions in these environments
is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological diversity in all
ecosystems. As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect Earth's
ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the
most common problem is habitat destruction. In most situations, the result is irreversible. Now
humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as
disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the

variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution.
Certainly, there have been periods in Earth's history when mass extinctions have
occurred. The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical events, either climatic or
cosmic. There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between
species reached an extreme conclusion. Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on
Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species
survived and which died out.
However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human
species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment. In fact,
there is wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the
changes themselves, that will lead to biological devastation. Life on Earth has continually been
in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time for
the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new
environments.
