The Bird's Nest,Beijing

It was designed mainly for the 2020 Summer Olympics. It can hold up to 80,000 people and has been used for a winter theme park. Nowadays, its main income is as a tourist attraction. It draws more than

20,000 tourists every day.

It probably won't surprise you that teens are texting more than ever before. Experts show great

concern for teen texting. Students might not learn correct grammar and spelling if they write a lot of text messages. Also all that texting takes away from hours that could be spent studying, exercising, pursuing hobbies,or talking with others face to face.Some kids even sleep with their phones beneath their pillows and wake up several times during the night to text.

Dr. Elizabeth Dowdell points out teens need to learn that they can — and should — turn off their

phones sometimes.She and her team had two teenagers, Kenny and Franchesca, carry out an

experiment. They should obey the rules:

 No phone for 48 hours. No computer or Internet either, unless it was for schoolwork.Would these two teenagers be able to do it?

"I think I'm going to feel really alone," Kenny worried. Franchesca was nervous but brave. "I'm

excited for the challenge," she said. "I don't know what's going to happen." They handed their phones to their mothers for safekeeping. The challenge was on.

The team caught up with Kenny and Franchesca after 48 phone-free hours. "Wow, it was pure

suffering," Kenny joked. "Though life with no phone wasn't easy," he admitted, "it had benefits. I felt less stressed because I didn't have to be involved." Sure, Kenny missed his friends, and he was sad at times.

But he also felt relief from the constant texting. Instead of texting,Kenny went to the gym and caught up on schoolwork. He said that the first night he slept for 10 hours.He also spent time sitting with his family and talking. "I felt closer to my parents," said Kenny.

Franchesca had an even happier result when she put away her phone. "I loved it!

" she said. "I was

going to the gym and hanging out with friends and playing basketball. I had a wonderful experience.

" She slept better too, and she decided to continue the experiment for a while."I think I'll be so much

smarter and healthier," she explained. "Everybody in the world should try it."

Kenny doesn't plan to give up his phone again. But he now knows that he can live without it.

"It was a reality check," said the teen.

Pollution's disastrous effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years,

leading to a movement to promote energy efficiency,

less reliance on fossil fuels and a reduction in air and water pollution.

Most scientists agree that such changes are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.

The construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge

amount of pollution. In the United States, building and development account for 39 percent of the

country's total energy use, 12 percent of total water consumption,68 percent of total electricity

consumption and 38 percent of carbon dioxide emissions, according to the Environment Protection

Agency.

Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste and are healthier to live,

work and go to school in than standard buildings.Builders of green buildings use techniques that use

resources more efficiently during the entire building cycle — construction, restoration, operation,

maintenance （维护） and demolition （拆毁）— than those who construct more regular buildings.

The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity,

improved air and water quality,less waste flowing into streams and the conservation of natural

resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor
