The natural environment still manages to fill us with a sense of awe and amazement. Despite the amount of scientific knowledge mankind has gathered, nature still holds great mysteries that we may never be able to unravel. This complexity has continually daunted man. 1 ______As a result, we have distanced ourselves from the earth, even though our survival is completely dependent on it. We are now trying to regain our close connection to nature. 2 ______Referred to as "natural architecture", it aims to create a new, more harmonious, relationship between man and nature by exploring what it means to design with nature in mind.The roots of this movement can be found in earlier artistic shifts like the "land art" movement of the late nineteen sixties. Although this movement was focused on protesting the austerity of the gallery and the commercialization of art, it managed to expand the formal link between art and nature. 3 ______The movement is characterized the work of a number of artists, designers and architects that express these principles in their work. The pieces are simple, humble and built using the most basic materials and skills. 4 ______The forms are stripped down to their essence, expressing the natural beauty inherent in the materials and location. The movement has many forms of expression that range from location-based interventions to structures built from living materials. However, all of the works in the movement share a central distinctive spirit that demonstrates a respect and appreciation for nature.These works are meant to comment on architecture and provide a new framework to approach buildings and structures. They aim to infuse new ideas into architecture by subverting the idea that architecture should shelter nature. 5 ______We see the branches, the rocks and all the materials for what they are. We understand that these structures won"t exist forever. The materials will evolve over time, slowly decomposing until no evidence remains. These features are intentional, provoking viewers to question the convention of architecture. The designers aren"t suggesting that architecture must conform to their vision, they are just providing ideas that they hope will inspire us all to rethink the relationship between nature and the built environment.A. This has helped develop a new appreciation of nature in all forms of art and design.B. Instead, the structures deliberately expose the natural materials used in the building process.C. The core concept of the movement is that mankind can live harmoniously with nature, changing and using it for our needsD. There is an emerging art movement that is exploring mankind"s desire to reconnect to the earth, through the built environment.E. Because of this, the results often resemble native architecture, reflecting the desire to return to a less technological world.F. In frustration, we try to control nature by enforcing order.

The European Union revealed on January 23rd how it plans to save the world. A mammoth climate-change plan spells out in detail how much pain each of its 27 members will have to beat if the EU is to meet ambitious targets set by national leaders last March.The aim is to cut greenhouse-gas emissions by 2020 by at least a fifth, and more than double to 20% the amount of energy produced from renewable sources such as wind or wave power. If fuel from plants proves green enough, 10% of the fuel used in transport must come from biofuels by the same date. The new plan turns these goals into national targets. This will surely start much grumbling and months of horse-trading, as the European Commission"s recommendations are turned into binding law by national governments and the European Parliament.Countries with greenery in their veins are being asked to take more of the burden than newer members. Sweden, for example, is being invited to meet 49% of its energy from renewables. At the other end, Malta gets a renewables target of just 10%. It is a similar story when it comes to cutting greenhouse gases; by 2020, Denmark must cut emissions by 20% from 2005 levels; Bulgaria and Romania, the newest members, may let their emissions rise by 20%.EU leadership on climate change will not come cheap. The direct costs alone may be C 60 billion ($87 billion), or about 0.5% of total EU GDP, by 2020, said the commission"s president, Jose Manuel Barroso. But this is still presented as a bargain compared with the cost of inaction, which Mr. Barroso put at ten times as high. "Oh, leading the world in the fight against climate change need not cost jobs. Even in the most heavily polluting branches of heavy industry. We want to keep out industry in Europe," insisted Mr. Barroso.The trick to achieve the seemingly impossible targets is the EU"s emissions-trading scheme (ETS). This obliges big polluters such as power companies or manufacturing giants to trade permits that allow them to emit CO2 and other climate-change nasties, within a steadily tightening overall cap. If countries such as the US do not sign binding international agreements by 2001, then the heaviest greenhouse-gas emitters inside the EU may be given these allowances free, the commission suggests. Or, it threatens, firms to buy ETS permits. According to the EU"s ETS, big polluters ______
A. shall be given no permits until 2011
B. have to pay for their existence
C. will be allowed a fixed amount of emissions
D. can benefit if they chose to be inside the EU
