25、g. The type of houses found ina certain part of the world depends to a certain extent on the building materials available there.Countries where stone is abundant tend to have more stone houses than a place where there isplenty of timber for example. However, climatic conditions affect the houses bui

26、lt to a greaterextent. In equatorial countries like Singapore and Malaysia, two main factors are responsiblefor the type of houses built: the heat of the sun and the fierceness of rainstorms. Our houses arelight and airy but have steep roofs. In some places, houses are built on stilts because t

27、hey may bein lowlying areas which get flooded easily.In a hot and dry country such as Arabia, the houses are often box-shaped. They have thickstone walls which are painted white. White surfaces radiate heat while dark surfaces absorb it.The houses have no windows, only gaps with shutters over them.

28、Even the door openings arevery small and narrow. It is cool inside such houses. The roofs are also flat, so that when the sungoes down, one can sit on the roof and catch any cool breeze that is blowing. Sometimes,a watertank may be placed on the roof to catch the little rain that falls.In cold regio

29、ns, where there is heavy snow, the roofs,of the houses slope steeply so that thesnow can slide off easily. If the roofs were flat, the snow would build up and the roofs might cavein under the weight. The houses also have thick stone walls so that the cold is kept out.Some countries are more likely t

30、o be affected by earthquakes. In such places, the houses aremade of light building materials. If the houses collapse in an earthquake, few people will get hurtand less damage is caused.In some parts of the world, people take their homes along with them as they travel. Thesepeople are called nomads.

Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone whoenjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with

35、them; elaborate equipment is not required togrow these lovely and tiny trees, but time, patience, and a sense of natural beauty are.There are four important guidelines to follow in growing bonsai. First, one must be careful inchoosing the type of tree. Not all species of trees can be made into bonsa

36、i, since the growingconditions are unusual. Varieties of pine with small needles and hardwood trunks are especiallysuitable.Second, one must be careful in choosing the size of the container the bonsai will be in. Thisis necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined to the trees trunk

37、 and leaves,not its root system-a process quite unlike what is done with other plants.Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is trim the roots and branches of the treeperiodically. Unless this is done, the plants will not have the proper proportions and will lookunnatural. The Japanese ideal for bo

38、nsai is to have trees which are just like normal trees ineverything but size.The last thing one most do is to be careful to keep the miniature trees well-watered.Because bonsai are grown in smaller-than-usual containers, they often need more water thanordinary houseplants do.As one can see from the

39、above, the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certainamount of time and effort. The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great, however.Imagine a stately pine tree, 100 years old, standing two feet high; imagine having such a tree inyour living room and passing it down through

40、several generations of your family. That is actuallywhat bonsai-growing is all about: establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years andyears and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.31.Bonsai are _.A.extremely popular in the United StatesB.trees which have been made to grow in
