Bamboo flooring(竹地板)is a growing trend in home flooring and is also a great improvement to traditional hardwood floors.It is the most environmentally friendly kind of natural flooring that you can select for your home.It is also a renewable(可再生的)resource,is stronger than steel,and does not suffer from problems as a result of temperature changes.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth,and only takes five years to grow to adult form.Bamboo is harvested every five years,and starts to re-grow immediately after being harvested.For this reason,bamboo is a kind of grass,not a tree.Bamboo is hollow(空心的)but very hard and can stand up to 50,000 pounds of pressure per square inch.
Bamboo flooring has become very popular with its rich and beautiful golden earth colors.But it is important to shop around for a good-quality bamboo flooring product that contains no formaldehydes(甲醛),which is said to be the best kind of bamboo flooring.Many brands use cheaper bamboo that may contain formaldehydes,and this can cause indoor air pollution problems as certain chemical materials in the bamboo slowly release their pollutants into the air.
So,why should we turn to bamboo to save the enviroment?In fact,bamboo cannot save the environment directly,but it is an excellent replacement product for much of the hardwood species of trees that are being harvested in rainforests.Once harvested,if these hardwood trees do grow back,it can take up to 200 years!Rainforests are the lungs of our planet and they make a significant contribution to global oxygen production.學(xué)科網(wǎng)

Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day). (358 words)
【小題1】 The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.
A.help travelers pass time |
B.a(chǎn)ttract lots of travelers to the UK |
C.a(chǎn)llow travelers to make flexible plans |
D.cause travelers to pay more for accommodation |
A.a(chǎn) hotel away from the train station |
B.the tube line to Covent Garden |
C.a(chǎn)n ideal holiday destination |
D.the name of a travel agency |
A.lies on the ground floor |
B.is located in central London |
C.provides cooking facilities for tourists |
D.costs over £100 on average per day in late September |
A.half an hour | B.one hour | C.one hour and a half | D.two hours |
A.to tell visitors how to book in advance |
B.to supply visitors with hotel information |
C.to show visitors the importance of self-help |
D.to offer visitors some money-saving tips |

Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers (消費(fèi)者) these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (配方) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages (普通包裝). These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.www.zxxk.com
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology (心理) behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom (底部) of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
【小題1】All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except ________.
A.ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands |
B.producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items |
C.ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural” |
D.the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands |
A.They are believable. | B.They are attractive. |
C.They are helpful to consumers. | D.They are full of misinformation. |
A.to make use of ads |
B.to buy only ordinary items instead of famous brands |
C.to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch |
D.not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural” |
A.a(chǎn)ds sometimes don’t tell the truth |
B.discount clothing stores are good places to go to |
C.going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy less than you plan to |
D.the quality of ordinary items is usually higher and the prices are relatively lower. |
