Lately，an 86.6-metre-tall mass-timber（拼接木材） twer in Milwaukee，Wiscnsin designed by Krb+Assciates Architects，has been certified as the wrld's tallest timber building.Lcated in a neighburhd near the lakefrnt，the 25-stre y twer is made almst entirely frm timber except fr the base，elevatrs and stair shafts（竖井）.
The structure tk nly tw years t build.It has a cncrete-framed pdium（基座） at the base that is six streys tall and the 19-stre y timber twer rises frm the pdium.The cre cntaining the elevatr shaft and staircase is made f cncrete t help the building deal with wind and earthquakes，as well as fr fire safety reasns. "Our cres are cncrete，"Krb+Assciates Architects funder Jasn Krb said.
Thrntn Tmasetti assciate Alejandr Fernandez，wh wrked n the prject，said that the city required a three-hur fire rating fr the clumns，s the team wrked with the Frest Prducts Labratry t ptimize the clumns t meet this standard. "We think it was the first three-hur fire testing n clumns，" said Fernandez，adding that the flr plates had a tw-hur rating，meaning the cmpnents can burn fr tw hurs withut lsing structural integrity.
Because f requirements preventing external wd expsure and the develper's desire t capture the lake views，the utside f the structure is made almst entirely f glass and metal panelling.
Bth Krb and Fernandez agreed that many f the drivers behind the prject were ecnmic——frm the real estate perspective f the facade（建筑物正面） t the cst restrictins f the timber.Much f the wd was surced frm Austria because surcing high-quality supplies frm Nrth American manufacturers wuld have been t expensive.Ecnmic benefits were increased by labur usage f the prject.Krb estimated that the prject used abut 25 per cent f the nsite labur required fr a cncrete structure and that it was cmpleted in abut half the time.
Bth Fernandez and Krb believe that the twer will prvide further prf f cncept fr develpers wh are lking t create innvative structures frm timber.And mid-rise develpments like these that "attract peple t the urban cre"are a "gd"thing，Krb added.
4.What can we knw abut the building？ ______
A. It is abut 19-strey tall.
B. Its cres are made f timber.
C. It is the tallest building in the wrld.
D. It can stand three-hur fire testing n clumns.
5.Where is the wd used fr cnstructin frm？ ______
A. Austria.B. Nrth America.
C. The Wiscnsin state.D. The Frest Prducts Labratry.
6.What des Krb think f the prject？ ______
A. It is time-saving.B. It is difficult and cstly.
C. It is envirnment-friendly.D. It is energy-cnsuming.
7.What can we infer frm the last paragraph？ ______
A. Mre develpers will chse timber t build tall buildings.
B. The timber twer is a gd example f innvative structure.
C. Mid-rise develpments will becme mre and mre ppular.

Nwadays，smartphnes fill us with text messages.Scial media attack us with endless ntices.Many cnsumers are buying the latest digital devices，frm tablets and fitness trackers t cmmercial drnes.Simple living seems t be a thing f the past.
Threau wuld beg t differ.As a writer wh claimed the value f simplicity almst tw centuries ag，he went against his time.He lived during the height f the Industrial Age，distinguished by the rise f huge factries and pwerful machines such as steam engines.Threau withdrew frm city life t live alne in the wds.He brught with him nly the necessities f life and wrte abut this adventure in his bk Walden.
In Walden，Threau is basically making a philsphical statement：We are nt living deliberate r meaningful lives，thanks t mdern technlgy.We created pwerful machines t make life mre cnvenient.Unfrtunately，these machines have dne the ppsite.In his wrds， "Men have becme the tls f their tls".
When technlgy causes that much distractin and cnfusin，it may be healthy t simplify life by shrtening these technlgical use.Persnally，I've dne s in tw ways.First，I dn't use data n my cellphne.I nly use it t call r text.Secnd，I quit mst scial media.As a result，my technlgy distracts me very little，which allws me t live in.less cnfusin and，therefre，mre deliberatin.Sure，that's nt as extreme as Threau-mving t the wds，but it's a realistic mve I can make tward a mre meaningful life.
One final clarificatin：Threau's message f simplicity isn't abut rejecting all technlgy.It is，hwever，rejecting technlgical cnsumerism，r cmpulsively buying mre technlgy fr the sake f having mre technlgy.This is why Walden is such an imprtant bk fr technlgy educatin.Simplicity means minimizing material distractins s as t maximize life's meaning.
11.What d we knw abut Threau in paragraph 2？ ______
A. He lived in the high industrial building.
B. He mved t a place clse t nature.
C. He thught highly f mdern technlgy.
D. He was fnd f adventure in urban areas.
12.Why are peple nt living meaningful lives accrding t Threau？ ______
A. Men haven't made full use f their technlgy .
B. Sme digital devices are incnvenient t use.
C. Men have becme the slaves f mdern technlgy.
D. Mdern machines are pwerful enugh t cntrl peple.
13.Hw des the authr shrten technlgical use？ ______
A. By using date n the phne.
B. By abusing technlgical devices.
C. By living in less cnfusin.
D. By quitting using mst scial media.
14.Which statement will Threau prbably agree with frm the last paragraph？ ______
A. Less is mre.B. The mre，the better.
C. Knwledge is pwer.D. N pains，n gains.
