21-1. Ieoh Ming Pei is definitely one of the biggest names in architecture. Born in China in 1917, Pei was the son of a prominent banker. He grew up mostly in Hong Kong and Shanghai. At the age of 17, Pei left for the United States to study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then Harvard University.
Pei attracted great attention in the US for the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, but it was the Louvre Pyramid that brought him worldwide fame. In 1981, the newly elected President of France came up with an ambitious plan for a variety of construction projects, including the renovation of the Louvre Museum. Pei was invited to join the renovating team. Pei finally agreed to take on the project after three secretive trips to Paris.
Pei designed not only a glass and steel pyramid to serve as the entrance to the Louvre, but also a transformation of the interiors. The public reacted harshly to the design, mostly because of the proposed pyramid. In an attempt to soothe public anger, Pei took a suggestion from then-mayor of Paris and placed a full-sized model of the pyramid in the courtyard of the Louvre. During the four days of its exhibition, an estimated 60,000 people visited the site. Critics eased their opposition after witnessing the proposed scale of the pyramid. The new entrance was opened to the public in March, 1989. By that time, public opinion had softened on the Pyramid; a poll found a 56 percent approval rating for the pyramid. “The much-feared pyramid has become adorable,” wrote a French writer. The experience was exhausting for Pei, but also rewarding. “After the Louvre,” Pei said later, “I thought no project would be too difficult.” Now the Louvre Pyramid is Pei's most famous structure.

21-2. There are plenty of ways to make your house look greener. It doesn't matter how many people reside in your home. It doesn't even matter what is the size of your home. What matters is how your house looks and how it affects you and others residing in it.
It is very necessary to make your house look greener because it has a direct impact on your health. If you keep your house greener, you will get rid of many dangerous diseases. Here are some ways to keep it greener.
1. Good and reliable Interior Indoor material, like windows, doors, cupboards, etc. must be of good quality. These things play an important role to clean the house. Doors and cupboards must be of high quality wood. Aluminium windows must be used. You must use high-quality paints for walls, doors, windows and cupboards.
2. Using wider windows and doors for ventilation.
Oxygen is a necessary element to enable you to live alive. For healthy life, windows and doors must be wide and usually be kept open at least for 15 hours a day, as ventilation of air makes you fresh and healthy.
3. Placing plants especially flowers at various places
No one wants an empty house, and plants definitely play a refreshing role. First, the plants provide you with oxygen necessary for survival. Second, plants and especially flowers spread heart-attracting fragrance. All unhealthy odors are eradicated from your home and you feel fresh whenever you are inside it. Flowers also make your home interior look more appealing.
4. Disposing off wastes away from home regularly.
It's very important to throw away household wastes far from your house every day. When wastes are kept untouched for many days, they attract bacteria and viruses. Flies and mosquitoes also start gathering and increasing at such places. As a result, diseases are caused.
5. Using anti-bacterial materials for washing floors and contents.
Usually unclean fans, floors and walls breed bacteria and viruses, which are then carried by flies and mosquitoes. These carriers then infect the humans by contact through contaminated food or direct attacks on human body. It's always recommended to use anti-bacterial or anti-viral cleaners for fans, floors, walls, laptops, and TVs.

21-3. Television has become such a major part of life that many American parents use it as a babysitter. A new study shows that almost one-third of families have TVs in children's bedrooms, and the number of television programs geared toward infants is growing.
Katie Weaver has her hands full. Four children in her kitchen, and two of them are hers. All of them are under the age of six, and thirsty at the same time. It's enough to get on the nerves of any adult. Like many of the 1,000 parents surveyed in a Kaiser Family Foundation study, Katie admits she sometimes uses TV as a pacifier when her children are overly excited and it usually works.
“I don't use it as a babysitter because they don't watch enough or long enough for that, but if they are very hyped up, sometimes I'll use TV to calm them down,” she said. While there has been some concern that watching too much television fosters obesity in children, the long-term effects of parking a very young child in front of the “tube” are not clear.
“A lot of them are two-parent working families, so we're talking about having very little time with the children. If that time is used in front of a screen, rather than interactively, it's compromising the way these children are learning to pay attention, the way they're learning to problem-solve, and most importantly, the way they're learning to think and use language,” said Greenspan, who is the expert of the Kaiser Family Foundation study.
In the survey, parents of children much younger, up to a year old, report viewing averages of an hour per day. For kids one to two years, it's close to an hour and a half. Greenspan believes babies and children under the age of two should not be watching at all and he's worried that some parents are concealing the real truth. “If anything, it's an underestimation, because if a kid's watching two hours, they might say an hour. So I think what we're getting is a minimal estimate,” he said.
Television programming for very young children has been increasing. Yet one researcher involved in the Kaiser study says there is still no evidence that children up to the age of two learn anything of value from television.

The decision to make the new game community-driven is potentially brilliant. It's interesting that feedback from the community is going to be brought into Minecraft: Story Mode. In a way, it echoes what Minecraft is. It is a user-generated world.
It's likely that there already have been gamers on Minecraft fan blogs. They have come up with theories as to how the universe was created. There could be lots of contradictory things there. But from a marketing standpoint, it makes all the sense in the world for the community of “you guys are going to write this.”
Minecraft first came out in 2009 and is probably due for an evolution of some sort. Story Mode seems like a natural next step. A dedicated fan base has very high expectations. It will be satisfied with the story it is developing.
There will be challenges, however. Minecraft does not follow what the game industry is used to working with. It will be a completely different development scenario. It is a world with no story and starting from the beginning. As long as the Minecraft story is popular and successful, that might be OK.

21-6. Today I'll be talking about the invention of the camera and photography. The camera is often thought to be a modern invention, but as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkens silver salt. Used as a camera, a big box was set up, and a small hole was cut in one side to let the light in; he made temporary pictures on the salt. Silver salt is still the base of the photographic film today. Then a French scientist made the first permanent picture by using a special piece of metal which was covered with silver salt. A photograph he made in 1826 still exists.
The painter De Gear improved the process by covering the metal also with placing the common salt which we can eat. This was in 1839, the official date of beginning of photographs. But the problem was the printing of the photographs. And it wasn't until other scientists developed the kind of photographic paper we now use that good prints were possible and photography became truly modern. In the 1870's, Matthew Bradey was able to take his famous pictures in American Civil War. In the 20's of this century, Georges Mann of the United States simplified film developing, and Dr Edward Lane invented the so—called ‘Instant Camera' which uses self—developing film. If we say photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it took more than 100 years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical refinement(密度).

21-7.Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself：“I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive old age.
She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until, at twenty—seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children , of whom five survived ; her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery(刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures：detailed and lively portrayals(描绘) of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of colour and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it.” she said.

21-8. In capsule hotels, each guest stays in a small sleeping space called capsule.
It measures about 2 meters in length and 1 meter in both width and height. It is a type of hotel first developed in Japan intended to provide cheap, basic overnight accommodation for guests who do not require the services offered by traditional hotels. Facilities differ, but most include a television and wireless internet connection. There are many buttons in the capsule. One turns on the light, one turns on the TV, and one controls the channels. There is a radio and an alarm clock built in. The open end of the capsule can be closed, for privacy, with a curtain or a fiber glass door. Luggage is stored in a locker. Clothes and shoes are sometimes exchanged for a yukata and slippers on entry. Washrooms are communal. Guests are asked not to smoke or eat in the capsules. Some hotels also provide restaurants (or at least vending machines), pools, and other entertainment facilities. Capsules are used primarily by men. Some capsule hotels offer separate sections for male and female guests.
The benefits of these hotels are convenience and price, usually around ?2000-4000 (USD 25-50) a night. They provide a place for those who may be too drunk to return home safely. About 30% at the Capsule Hotel were unemployed or underemployed and were renting capsules by the month. It was first offered to salary men who had missed the last train home, but now it is also popular with travelers from all over the world. Therefore, it's going to gain more popularity.

21-9. Lynne Shaner used the Internet to buy everything she needed for her wedding and holiday gifts for her husband and step-daughter. Other than food, 90 percent of her purchases are made on the computer in her Washington apartment.
“I find that, by being able to go online and choose the things that I need to choose, and have them delivered to me right at my doorstep, I eliminate all the driving, all the crowds, all the noise of that, and I usually get a better selection,” Shaner explained.
Analysts say US online shopping has hit records in November and December. Fifty-seven percent of Americans have made at least one online purchase. Traditional merchants worry that the growing e-commerce will shrink their share of the market. Cornell University Marketing Professor Ed McLaughlin says they have reason for concern.
“Anything that can move online will go. It is just a matter of time,” he stated. McLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods like clothing, which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing — as well as items that are difficult to ship. He says some bricks and mortar stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and electronics. Traditional stores also offer a social experience that some shoppers enjoy.
“Oftentimes, you need that last sense of ‘this is exactly what I want' before you part with your money,” he said. “And you can't always get that online. It's a rather cold process. Traditional stores can also deliver goods more quickly than online retailers,” Martin says. And smart merchants are using stores to guide customers to websites and using their websites to encourage customers to visit their stores.
While e-commerce worries some merchants, it's a huge boost for delivery services like FedEx and UPS. UPS Manager Dana Kline says e-commerce means her company is even busier than usual this time of year. “We are expecting 28 million pieces on their peak day, which is December 20, which is up about a million from last year,” she noted. UPS is so busy that it's hiring 55,000 temporary workers during the holiday season to deliver gifts. Those packages are headed for homes, including Lynne Shaner's purchase.
