筑—Bullitt Foundation的办
公大楼及相关的发展前景
One of the world's greenest office buildings
will formally open its doors this week.It's a
project of the environmentally progressive Bullitt
Foundation.Its ambition is bold:to showcase an
entirely self-sustaining office building,hoping
that others will create similar projects.
The first thing that strikes you about the
new Bullitt Center is an emphasis on walking.
"In a building this size,any place else in
Seattle it would have two elevators.Here,the
stairway is obvious and attractive,"says Denis
Hayes,CEO of the foundation.He explains
there is an elevator,but it's well-hidden.The
staircase encourages exercise and the concept
helps cut down on energy use.
This is one of dozens of visionary decisions
that went into this building."It has eyes,ears,
a nervous system and a brain and it responds to
its environment in a way that seeks to optimize
(优化)things,”he says.He points across the
street to a mini weather station.It sends data to
the building so it can decide what it should do to
conserve energy.
"I think it's fair to say we were all a bit
skeptical in the beginning,"says Chris Rogers,
the founder of a firm in cooperation with the
foundation.Rogers and the others set out to
meet the ambitious goals of the Living Building
Challenge,a green building standard set by
local architects.
Clearly this building is not for everyone.If
you think of it as simply an office building,it
was relatively pricey to design and build.But if
you view it as a laboratory,an educational
center and a bold effort to change how things are

built,the calculation changes.
Still,one could wonder,is it possible to
build more with similar self-sustaining features at
a reasonable cost?If this building isn't
reproducible,then this experiment will have
failed,says Rogers.But if it is successful,he's
optimistic others will follow the foundation's
lead.Rogers points out that over the past couple
of decades,many builders have been integrating
green elements into their buildings.

C.The building has been inspired by previous
efforts.

人与社会—配乐对一部电影
说明文
的重要性
Watching a movie can be a magical
experience,but do you know that the music in
9
the films we watch has always been an important
part of creating that magical experience?1
The first commercial film with sound came
out in 1927.2 Even back in the early days
of silent films,most movie theaters hired a
musician or a group of musicians to provide
music,mostly to drown out the sound of the film
projectors(放映机)and people talking.
As sound-on-film technology developed,
composers were hired to create original music for
films.Like music written for an opera,film
music serves to advance the story and the
action.3 In the same way,a film composer
needs to support the screenplay's storyline.The
music also needs to reflect the screenplay's
mood,which includes everything from the action
on the screen to sound effects to dialogue.
Music has a language of its own.The right
piece of music can improve and sometimes even
change a viewer's ideas of what is taking place
on screen.Most of the time,music is used to
stress the action on screen,improve the mood of
a scene,foreshadow action that is about to take
place or even show the emotion of a character.
4 But in many instances the emotional
power of the visuals would not be as great were it
not for the music.
5 Ask yourself,"How would this
scene feel if the music were different?Is the
composer trying to tell me how I should feel?Or
are they merely pushing me in an emotional
direction?”
A.So,how is the film music created?
B.Without it,it would be hard to imagine
the scene.
C.An opera composer must follow the text
of the opera.
D.Usually,composers and filmmakers don't
want to overshadow a film.
E.So the next time you watch a movie,pay
close attention to the music.
F.The music in a film makes you cheer for
the hero and cry at the drama.
G.Since then,music has been powerfully
linked to the movie-watching experience.
