The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.The tree houseMany architects in the world would like to build a “tree house”. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root”(根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil(土壤) to keep the home's temperature.The lizard(蜥蜴) houseLike a lizard, changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it's in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.Meals at homeThis design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture(建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning,you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.Learning from the pastLooking to the future isn't the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques(古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney(烟囱) can be a useful air conditioner(调节器) because it is easier for hot air to flow out at the chimney.( )31. What is the best title of the passage A.

Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. 38Critics(评论员) say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. 39 An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London(about 600 km) can cost about 100 pounds, for example. A short 15-minute's bus trip can cost over1.00 pound.40 Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work.
