Green building means" reducing the impact(影响)of the building on the land", Taryn Holowka of the U. S. Green Building Council in Washington,@D@C, said.
According to Holowka, building account for(占了)65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.
But green building can reduce energy and water use. Also, the building are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green building are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don't destroy forests.
Marty Dealing is project manger for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, "We've reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent." The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power. "On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the sun's energy into electricity," Dealing explained.
The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water reusing it.
Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, "It's going to be big."
In the second paragraph, the underlined words "the building" most probably refer to ______.
A．an ordinary building
B．an energy-saving building
C．a green-colored building
D．a water-reducing building

2. The newly designed office was made with environmentally safe building materials instead of building products that are harmful to the environment. For example, the floor of the office is made of bark(树皮)from a cork tree. The bark of a cork tree will renew itself so the tree does not die. The cork floor also feels good to stand on.
3. The floor in another part of the office is made of bamboo(竹子). Bamboo is a fast-growing grass that quickly replaces itself. Other areas of the floor are covered with carpeting. However, unlike many offices, the carpet was made without harmful chemicals.
4. Storage areas in the office are made from the crushed shells of sunflower seeds. The office doors are made from pressed wheat straw. Wheat straw is an agriculture waste product that would normally be burned. That process adds chemicals to the atmosphere.
5. World Resources Institute officials also chose lighting and other electrical equipment that use less energy. And, they improved their communication systems. New video communication equipment lets workers see and talk to people in other cities. The new equipment was added to reduce the amount of travel by office workers. That reduces the amount of harmful gases that are released into the atmosphere by cars or planes.
6. The organization's officials also announced a plan that would reduce harmful carbon dioxide gases from their office by the year 2005.
7. World Resources Institute officials say the cost of building a "green" office is similar to that of a traditional office. They say building more "green" offices could lead to a healthier environment. They say a healthy environment and a strong economy can exist together. The organization says it is creating a work environment that is better for people.
A. A plan to reduce harmful gases from offices
B. A "green" office safer for people
C. The decoration of the green office
D. The materials of the green office
E. More things to do for a better work environment
F. The cost of the green office
