No one knows when the first house was built and who was the first one to built the house. But the houses are changing all the time.

（ ）61. What will the house of the future look like？ Could it have gardens on its walls， or a pool with fish for dinner？ Architects [建筑學家]believe that they may come true one day. The only thing for sure is the houses will be as green as possible in the future.

（ ）62. Many architects in the world would like to build a house like a leaf， the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water， produce electricity， and even make fresh air for the room. The“root”[根]of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the room’s temperature.

（ ）63. Like a lizard [蜥蜴]， changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun， the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat. During dark days， it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.

（ ）64. This design is perhaps for the future of food. It has a garden on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes， carrots and green tea on them. So every morning， you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.

（ ）65. Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes， the old ways of building houses can also help cut down energy use. For example， a chimney[煙囪]can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to run out of the chimney.

Potatoes are very popular today. But in the past this was not true. Potatoes grew in South America 5，000 years ago. But they only became popular in other places 200 years ago.

In the 16th century， the Spanish took the potato from South America to Europe. But the people didn’t like this strange vegetable. Some people thought that their skins would look like the skin of the plant if they ate the potato. So they only ate the leaves. This made them sick because there is poison[毒藥]in the leaves.

In the 1800s， people started to eat potatoes. Potatoes became the main food in Ireland. Then something unlucky happened. In 1845， a disease killed all the potatoes in Ireland. Two million people died of hunger.

Today each country has its potato dish. Germans eat potato salad， and the USA has the baked potato. Of course， the French invented French fries.

Fill in the blanks according to the passage. Only one word for each blank.

In the mid 1990’s， people started doing business on the Internet. There were two kinds of companies then. First， there were traditional companies. They sold things in stores. Then， there were Internet companies. They didn’t have a store， and they only sold things on the Net.

Traditional companies didn’t want to lose any business. Quickly， they made their own websites and began selling things on the Net. These are the so-called“brick and click”companies[磚塊點擊公司]. Many stores are made of brick. And you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That’s where the name“brick and click”comes from.

By the late 1990’s， competition among Internet companies was great. So e-business like amazon. com， buy. com， and etoys. com were in trouble. Their profits[利潤] were not very high. Many of these businesses were losing much money. In 2000， many e-businesses went out of business.

Why are brick and click companies， like Barnes and Walmart so successful？ First， many customers know and trust[相信]their names. Their websites are easy to remember. These companies also have a lot of experience. In a word， they know how to run a successful business.

In the world of e-commerce[商業(yè)]， companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer. Will brick and click companies win the war？ Only time will tell.
