which aims to make the simple treehouse become a world-class destination for travellers. The Treehotel,
located in a place called Harads, will consist of four rooms when it opens on July 17th.. the Cabin, the
Blue Cone, the Nest, and the Mirrorcube.
Two additional rooms are scheduled to open in October. The long term vision (想象) is even more
expansive. "Our goal in five years is to have 24 rooms from 24 different architects," says Treehotel
co-founder Kent Lindvall.
The first six rooms were designed by five different architects. The Mirrorcube which stands four meters
high and four meters wide, and the walls of which are made with a mirrored glass, has drawn widespread
attention as it will be attached to a single tree. "It"s an interesting building. You can"t find anything else like
this in the world today. It"s unique (独特的)," says Lindvall. "Everything will reflect in it-the trees, the birds,
the clouds and the sun in the forest. So it could hardly be seen in the forest. This is untouched forest and
we want to keep it the same way."
Lindvall says the Treehotel"s vision proves a powerful draw, with enquiries (询问) coming in from far
and wide. "I think what"s exciting here is that we"re just 60 km below the Arctic Circle. It means there"s a
good possibility to have the northern lights in the winter and of course to have the midnight sun in the
summer."
The motto of the Treehotel is "Feel Free in a Tree" and expense will cost up to about $ 555.50 for two
guests in the Cube, which is designed to hold up to four guests.
B. covering a large area
C. requiring knowledge and skills
D. increasing suddenly and rapidly
B. it"s large with plenty of space
C. there is a large mirror wall in it
D. it has limited effect on local wildlife
B. The Treehotel is a great base to explore the many local places of interest.
C. Travellers can have a relaxed holiday at a reasonable price in the Treehotel.
D. The six rooms of the Treehotel was separately designed by 6 different architects.
B. In a magazine.
C. In a website.
D. In a science journal.

dark as people switched off lights in their homes and skylines dimmed around the world on Saturday to
show concern about global warming.
Up to 30 million people were expected to have turned off their lights for 60 minutes by the time "Earth
Hour"-which started in Suva in Fiji and Christchurch in New Zealand-completed its cycle westward. More
than 380 towns and cities and 3 500 businesses in 35 countries signed up for the campaign that is in its
second year after it began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia"s largest city.
"Earth Hour shows that every day people are prepared to pull together to find a solution to climate change.
It can be done." said James Leape of WWF International, which was running the campaign.
Lights at Sydney"s Opera House and Harbour Bridge were lowered as Australians held candle-lit beach
parties, played poker by candlelight and floated candles down rivers.
In Bangkok, some of the city"s business districts, shopping malls and billboards went dark, although street
lights stayed on. One major hotel invited guests to dine by candle light and reported brisk business.
In Copenhagen, the Tivoli Gardens and the Royal Palace and the opera darkened for an hour, along with
many street lights.
"In the central square a lot of people were standing looking at the stars," said Ida Thuesen, spokeswoman
for WWF Denmark. "It"s not often you can see the stars in a city."
"It is not just about turning off the lights, it is about raising awareness," San Francisco Mayor Gavin
Newsom said. "Energy efficiency is low-hanging fruit. Energy efficiency is the easiest thing we can do to
reduce global warming."
Buildings account for about one-third of the carbon emissions that scientists say will boost global average
temperatures by between 1.4 and 4.0 degrees Celsius this century, bringing floods and famines and putting
millions of lives at risk. Organizers of Earth Hour said that while switching off a light for one hour would
have little impact on carbon emissions, the fact that so many people were taking part showed how much
interest and concern about the climate crisis had taken hold. They said they planned a similar event March
28, 2009.

Bruni on Feb. 8 or 9, media reported Monday. The report said that in December---less than a month after
Sarkozy met Bruni-he gave her a heart-shaped diamond engagement ring.
Carla Bruni, Italian singer, former model and girlfriend of France"s President Nicolas Sarkozy, holds the
hand of her son Aurelien while wearing a pink heart-shaped ring during a visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins
of Petra Jan. 5, 2008. French newspapers reported that Sarkozy would marry her early in February.
Sarkozy and his wife of 11 years, Cecilia, divorced in October. Their marital (婚姻) problems became
well known in May 2005 when she appeared in public at the side of event organizer Richard Attias.
A marriage to Bruni, a one-time star of the catwalks who is now a singer, would be Sarkozy"s third: He
divorced his first wife, Marie, in the late 80s-after he had met and befriended Cecilia. Political analyst
Dominique Moisi said that a Sarkozy proposal to Bruni could be part of his desire to head off any future
arguments, and the speed of their visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan. 5, 2008 would fit with
his personality as a busy man in a hurry.
"Apparently, he"s going to marry her, so the problem will be behind him," Moisi said. "He will increase
the opportunities to travel with her, and to say to the French, "You see, I must remarry… You need a first
lady.""
Bruni, an Italian-born French citizen, has dated famous men including Mick Jagger and Donald Trump.
She has also reportedly been linked to singer Eric Clapton and actor Vincent Perez.

planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their
hands with soap.
Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical
moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.
Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap.
The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are
equally effective at removing disease-causing germs (病菌). They say the correct way to wash hands is
to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including
under the fingernails. Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.
The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing.
Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell,
which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.
It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any
medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾), which is the second leading cause of child
deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half.
B. Hand Washing Gets a Day of Its Own
C. It Is Soap That Matters
D. Partnership for Hand Washing Takes Action
B. help the developing countries
C. promote the importance of soap in hand washing
D. make a culture of hand washing in the third world
B. soap helps to get rid of more germs off hands
C. soap attracts people to do more hand washing
D. soap gets people into the habit of washing hands
B. causes the greatest number of child deaths
C. can be prevented by washing hands with soap
D. makes soap stand out in hand washing
