22、ullivans Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped（立方体形状的） beach house was built to replace one smashed（破碎）to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago.

23、re Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolinas shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement（执行）of building codes wasnt strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugos wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enf
24、orced codes. The new beach house on Sullivans Island should be able to survive Category 3 hurricanes with peak（最高点的） winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour. At first sight, the house on Sullivans Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell（外形） makes it look like a large party lante
25、rn ( 灯笼 ) at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving（蒙蔽）. The houses wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength. To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings（木桩） - long, slender colu
26、mns of wood anchored（锚）deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure（不安全的）, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also lift up the house above storm surges（波涛）. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. These swells of water come
27、ashore at fantastic speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings, said Huff. Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially hidden by the houses ground-to-roof shell. The shell masks（掩饰） the pilings so that the house doesnt look like its standing with its pant legs pulled up,
28、said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained. 56.

32、mas, garages or airports. Do you invite your friend to the restaurant? Then you pay the bill. Does your friend invite you? Your friend pays.

38、light. Hurry up, man! I dont want to miss my train, said the young man. And I dont want to have an accident, replied Mr Hart quickly. While he was driving, Mr Hart suddenly recognized the mans face. He was a thief. The police were looking for him. His picture was in the newspapers. Mr Hart raced thr
39、ough the street and drove through red lights. Soon there was a police car behind him. Mr Hart raced on until he reached the station. He stopped in front of the station at two minutes to three, and the young man quickly jumped out of the taxi. Stop! Stop! cried Mr Hart. At that moment the police car

44、ship which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they
45、can manage without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as dustmen, taking some of the waste

Later people used dogs for the hunting of other animals, and the dogs didnt eat what they got until their m
51、asters agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chickens. But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to hunt other animals.
