The best thing you can say about the roofs of most city buildings is that you don’t have to look at them much. That’s very good, since and urban landscape viewed from above can be and unlovely thing-block after block of tarred(鋪有瀝青的)black rooftops, sticky in summer, windswept in winter, ugly year-round. Or at least that’s the way it used to be.

But urban roofs are going green. Environmental designers have begun to realize that the tops of buildings don’t have to be wastelands. Indeed, they can be gardens, planted with grasses, flowers and bushes.

A planted roof usually comes in one of two varieties: extensive or intensive. The extensive type is wide and shallow, with a soil depth of less than 8 inches, able to support smaller plants, The intensive type may be smaller, but it’s relatively deeper and home to larger plants.

Whatever the design, green roofs are not so simple as ordinary gardens. They have multiple layers beneath the soil, including a drainage layer, waterproofing, structural support, and so on .

But this system can do a great deal of good. A recent paper in the journal BioScience tells that green roofs can control temperature, contain water and clean the air. And most impressively, they can cut heat loss from a building by 50%, lower air-conditioning costs by 25%, and reduce the urban-heated-island effect by 2℃.

Of course, apart from the square feet greened and heat reduced, green roofs are even more valued since people can gain some psychological comfort simply by having a quiet place to go. As so often happens, what’s good for the planet can also be good for the spirit.

Recently divorced in my 30s, I had no job and was on my way downtown on a rainy day to go to the employment offices. I had no umbrella, for my old one had   21   apart, and I couldn’t afford another one.

The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion. It 31 (argue) that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked 32(intensive). Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with  33  smaller population.
One of the  34(difficult) in carrying out a world-wide birth control program is that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country. In a developing country  35  a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, 36 will be the first concern of government to place a limit  37  the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a 37(decline) market. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened.  39(face)  with such considerations, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population,rather than one which is stable  40 in decline.

The British people either don’t care or are kept in the dark regarding    31   country’s colonization overseas. When you talk to an average Britisher, he doesn’t seem to know   32    about his country’s glorious days as a result of colonization one or two generations ago.
