15、nk or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildingsthese are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the
16、 building crafts practised on the British Isles(英伦诸岛). Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too.Thatching is a solitary (独自的) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practised today has changed ve
17、ry little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm
18、in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow the
19、m to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defence against the heat.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following remains a uniqu

BBrandy/B Every couple experiences disappointment as initial romance and passion fade and they discover all their differences. He doesn t do enough housework. She s too emotional. He watches too much TV.

BAnthony/B What if she is in corporate sales and he is a musician? She prizes safety and security while he longs f
29、or adventure? She loves watching football at home while he is a rover with a passion for sailing? Less resilient couples might see such dramatic differences as grounds for divorce. But paradoxically, it is this unbridled independence that holds marriage together.I Now match each of the persons with
