The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental destruction, is changing the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the movement is growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of new technology.
Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps. Also, they reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One way is to provide an alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Once installed, they provide energy at no they cost and with no pollution.
Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut electricity use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs. To reduce the amount of fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so that the building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most environmentally responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and building had to consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees and the need to lessen the negative environmental impact. 75 percent of the building materials were recycled materials, and the energy use has been reduced by 43 percent and water use by 32 percent, compared with other buildings of the same size.
In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed according to green building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was once the site of army housing. The site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30 percent less energy than conventional ones. These houses, heated by special non-polluting systems, are also equipped with solar panels.
A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include houses for 400 families built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation. In a second phase, entire neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas in new neighborhoods across China.
Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies, and governments are beginning to see their benefits. Not only are they environmentally friendly, green buildings improve living and working conditions and also save money in the long run.

New research reveals that walking just 9.5 kilometers (6 miles) a week may keep your brain sharper as you get older. Scientists suggest that walking may protect aging brains from growing smaller and, in turn, preserve memory in old age.
‘Brain size shrinks in late adulthood, which can cause memory problems,’ study author Kirk Erickson of the University of Pittsburgh said in a news release. ‘Our findings should encourage further well-designed scientific trials of physical exercise in older adults as a very (34) ______ approach for preventing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.’ For the study, the team asked 299 dementia-free seniors to record the distance they walked (35) ______ week.
Four years later, the participants were tested to see if they had developed signs of dementia (suy giảm trí nhớ). Then after nine years had passed, scientists scanned the participants’ brains to measure size. At the four-year test, researchers discovered subjects (36) ______ walked the most had reduced their risk of developing memory problems by 50%. At the nine-year checkpoint, those who walked at least 9.5 kilometers a week, had brains with a larger (37) ______ than those who didn’t walk as much.
This is not the first study to promote the benefits of walking in seniors. (38) ______, last spring, Harvard University found that women who walked regularly at a brisk pace had an almost 40% lower risk of stroke.

Sod houses are an almost vanished part of America's past. Yet in Nebraska and some other states a century ago they were very common. Sod houses were built, as the name suggests, from sod – the top, grassy layer of the ground. The ground of the Nebraskalains was particularly suitable for this, because it was held together by the thick wiry roots of the grass that grows there.
To make a house, the settlers used a sod-cutter, drawn by horses, that cut through the top layer of the grassland. This had the additional benefit that the land cleared of grass in this way was suitable for planting corn. The builders would then cut the top layer they had ploughed into sections of about 50kg each, clearing about two acres of grass in the process. These sections were stacked on top of each other to make a thick-walled house that was cool in summer and warm in winter. Because many were built into the side of hills for extra stability, they were even useful shelters
from tornadoes.
Sod houses spread across Nebraska, Kansas and North and South Dakota. They were common there, because all these areas had the same problem – there were no trees on the great plains, and so no wood to build with. Wood which was needed for the roofs was by far the most expensive part of each house, as it had to be painfully transported by wagon. The problem of building materials was solved by the arrival of the railways which could transport wood and other materials quickly and cheaply. Sod houses were abandoned for more modern buildings, and began to disappear. Now less than 100 remain, but they are carefully preserved as relics of pioneer life on the prairie.
