Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo .Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel ,the world’s first igloo hotel .Built in a small town in Lapland ,it has been attracting lots of visitors ,but soon the fun will be over .
In two weeks’ time Bergqvist’s ice creation (作品)will be nothing more than a pool of water .“We don’t see it as a big problem ,”he says .“We just look forward to replacing it .”
Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition.It was so successful that he designed the present one ,which measures roughly 200 square meters .Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base :when the snow froze ,the base was removed .“The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door ,”he says .
After their stay ,all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success.With no windows ,nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃ ,it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing (轻松的)hotel break .“It’s great fun ,”Bergqvist explains ,“as well as a good start in survival training.”
The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt :it is now attracting tourists from all over the world .At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms .“You can get a lot of people in ,”explains Bergqvist.“The beds are three meters wide by two meters long,and can fit at least four at one time .”

Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted .Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment(环境)friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem .One result is that millions of tons of glass ,paper ,plastic ,and metal containers are produced ,and these are difficult to get rid of .
However ,today ,more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment .Before they buy a product ,they ask questions like these :“Will this shampoo damage the environment ?”“Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once ?”
A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it .This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green ,” that is ,friendly to the environment .
Only a few years ago ,it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets ,but now there are hundreds .Some supermarket products carry labels (标签)to show that the product is green .Some companies have made the manufacturing (生产)of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising .
The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business .No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it ,use it ,throw it away ,and forget it .”The public pressure is on ,and gradually business is cleaning up its act .
64.It becomes clear from the text that the driving force (动力)behind green products is .
A.public caring for the environment B.companies ,desire for bigger sales
C.new ways of doing business D.rapid growth of supermarkets

A.Business and People B.Business Goes Green
C.Shopping Habits Are Changing D.Supermarkets and Green Products

A.a selling point B.the company name
C.a great demand for health foods D.the manufacturing of green products

If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language ,you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson ,”and “Webster ,”but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English –William the Conqueror .
Before 1066 ,in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups .In the west-central region lived the Welsh ,who spoke a Celtic language ,and in the north lived the Scots ,whose language ,though not the same as Welsh ,was also Celtic.In the rest
