Home Heating
Central heating became popular only afterthe Civil War. Typically, coal-burning furnaces (火炉)fueled the early systems. Natural gas had developed into the leading fuel by 1960.Its acceptance resulted in part from its wide uses.Because it comes primarily fromU.S. and Canadian fields, natural gas is also less vulnerable (脆弱的) than oil is to war. Oil remains the most important fuel in a few areas,such as New Englard.
Electric heating dominates most areas withmild winters and cheap electricity,including the South and the Northwest. It wasmade popular at least in the South by the low cost of adding electric heating tonew houses built with air-cbnditioning.Bottled gas,which is somewhat more expensivethan utility gas, is the fuel of choice in rural areas notserved by utility pipelines.Wood is the leading heating fuel in just a few rural counties.Home heating, whichaccounts for less than 7 percent of all energy consumed in the U.S., has had a commendable(值得赞扬的) efficiency record: from 1978 to 1997, theamount of fuel consumed for this purpose declined 44 percent despite a 33 percentincrease in the number of housing units and an increase in house size. The U. S.Departmentof Energy, however, forecasts that energy used in home heating will rise by 14 percentover the next two decades. That rise is small considering an expected 21percentincrease in the number of houses and the trend toward larger houses.
Natural gas end electricity will probablydominate the home heating market for the next two decades. Solar (太阳的) heating never became popular because of cost and limited winter sunlightin most areas; in 2000 only 47, 000 homes relied on it.

Art Without Limit
Art should not be limited to a museum. " Art and creative elements (创造性元素) can be mixed into daily life." said Professor Cheng of the Fine Arts Department.
Public art can be seen as a realization of Professor Cheng' s words above. It is simply artwork presented in the public space, where one could walk by any day. Connie Yu, a businesswoman,
likes the idea of public art. "I like the idea of bringing afl to people, rather than people to art. " However, the idea of public art is not very well developed in Hong Kong. A walk through the central area only presents one with a limited number of public art pieces. Most of them seem to be more for the purpose of decoration (装饰) than presenting art to the public. Also, people do not pay much attention to them.
Alex Chan, a 34-year-old Hong Kong artist, said, "Public art is a great way to express your-self as an artist, to give something to people who don ' t normally go to the museums,and to give them a break from their daily life. It is just a shame that it' s not so common in Hong Kong. "
61. What is "public art" according to the text?
(A) Fine art pieces in museums.
(B) An exhibitions for the artists.
(C) Artwork by ordinary people.
(D) Art pieces in public places.

In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the market place. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not al ways be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases trans actions considerably. In the modem market economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.
An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all trans actions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to. how much of each goods and services should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production, consumption, and exchange for the whole economy.
In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition: parentage, religion, and custom fix every person's place within the economic system. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone, progress may be difficult to achieve. A stagnant society may result.
What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To outline contrasting types of economic systems.
B.To explain the science of economics.
C.To argue for the superiority of one economics systems.
D.To compare barter and money-exchange markets.
