四、阅读理解。〔人与社会——发明与创新〕
Green is the colour of nature and the symbol of life. For thousands of years, humans have followed the laws of nature to live in harmony(和谐) with nature.
That has been seen in ancient Chinese houses. Ancient Chinese often built their homes at the foot of the mountain with a river running nearby. The mountains could stop the cold wind from the north and the river provided water for life. Most houses were also built facing south or west so that the rooms were able to get enough sunshine in winter and keep cool in summer.
In modern times, humans didn't follow the laws of nature during fast development. Luckily, it's never too late to make changes.
Green development is the goal of all countries. In 2016, China signed The Paris Agreement on climate change, giving a strong push to the international efforts against global(全球的) warming.
Also in China, the government added green development to the country's work plans. From 1999 to the end of 2018, by carrying out Mother River Protection Operation, China raised about 600 million yuan to build over 5,700 green projects. Through international cooperation(合作), over 98.32 million trees were planted across China.
Denmark is a leading country in wind and solar technologies. Denmark has started the "Power-to-X" plan, providing about 1.25 billion kroner for projects producing hydrogen(氢气).
Builders across the world are also playing a role in green development. In Chicago, pressed newspapers, recycled glass and plastic are used on buildings. In Bali, the green school is made of bamboo. The school gets its electricity(电) from solar panels(太阳能电池板), waterpower and a generator that burns farm waste.
Following the laws of nature is the only way out. A small move in one country may influence the global community as a whole. Let's join hands to make the world a better place for the future.
