Can you think of three ways in which a house of the future mightbe different from the house you live in at the moment?

Think of all the switches, buttons, etc you use in your house toturn things on and off. Which of these do you think we

UNIT 1 Glever Housing @

Reading Link IEI Read the article to find out vrhat an intelligent house can do for the family that lives in it.

Have you ever thoughtabout how your body

works? Every day youmake your body do lots

of different actions, suchas when you walk, talk,

or dance. But at thesame time, your body

automatically does manyother things that are

essential for everydaylife. For instance, when

you blink or yawn orbreathe, you don't have to

think about what you are doing; yourbody simply carries out these tasks for

you. You might think this is strange, but thelatest houses are like this, too.

Now, thanks to the work of some far-sightedarchitects and designers, houses have become

more 'intelligent'. lt isn't quite true to saythat houses are starting to think for

themselves, but some modern homesare now using sophisticated

technology to control many of theroutine jobs that up to now have

always been our responsibility.

For years, architects and buildershave been trying to find ways

to make houses more economical andcomfortable to live in, as well as trying toreduce the amount of damage that houses do to the

environment. 'lntelligent' housing seems to be theideal solution. Clever use of building materials andtechniques has brought us houses that are easier

and cheaper to keep warm than traditional housing.Modern water systems, together with the recycling

of washing water from bathrooms and kitchens,means that'intelligent' houses use 30% less water

than conventional homes.

'lntelligent' homesmight look a littleunusual from theoutside. This isbecause the bulldersuse a lot of glass and woodto make the walls. Some of the houseseven have a grass roof because it's kinder to theatmosphere! But, inside, they are comfortable andbright. The technology, which is similar to that ofyour TV remote control, makes sure of this. Thereare always enough lights on in every room and thewindows close when it starts to rain. The water isalways at the correct temperature whenever you wantto have a shower and the house doesn't allow you touse more water than you need. You can even watchtelevision in every room, or use the closed-circuitcameras to see what's happening in the garden.

Until recently, we have always had to think abouteverything we want our house to do. lf we havewanted it to be warmer or cooler, lighter or darker,we have had to turn the heating or lighting on oroff. However, for some families already living in

'intelligent' houses, daily life haschanged in many ways. They don'tworry about turning off the lightor locking the door before theygo out. The house does allthisfor them. Families in 'intelligent'houses don't have to do as muchwork to keep their home clean and

comfortable -

and the hi-tech kitchen means it isn'tto prepare family meals.

However, what happens, for example, if thecomputer systems that control everything in thehouse suddenly break down? What can we do if acomputer virus somehow gets into the system andchanges allthe automatic programs? What is more,'intelligent' houses aren't cheap and not everybodycan afford to buy one. Designers are working onthese and other problems, so'intelligent' housesare still improving. Who knows, perhaps somedesigners are trying to create a house that can evendo your homework!

ffih*H*krEReported by Jenny Patterson

When most people are asked fo descrbe their job, their descriptiondoes nof include running through burning buildings and jumpingout of tenth floor windows! Being a stunt person, however, is noordinary job! Last week, I was lucky enough to meet StanleyPilot, who has been working as a stuntman tor overtwenty years. He was kind enough to agree tosee me during his short stay in London.

Our readers would love to find out how you gotstarted as a stuntman. Had you always wanted todo this kind of work?Well, actually, it took me a while to realise that thiswas the job for me. You see, when I was a child, Iwas always the one to climb the highest trees in theneighbourhood. The others would watch anxiously tosee if I was going to survive my latest stunt. My motherand I got used to spending most weekends in thelocal children's hospital! I remember her saying to meon my sixteenth birthday, 'You're too old for this now,Stanley; next time, you're on your own.'

What did she mean?She'd had enough! She thought I was old enoughto know what was dangerous. She made me realisethat, although I loved doing dangerous things, Ineeded some guidance. That summer I joined thelocal mountaineering club and, from then on, noth-ing could stop me.

What other sports did you learn?You name it, l've done it! Actually, I was learningwhite-water rafting when I applied for my first job.David, one of the other people on the course, told me.that he worked as a stuntman for a small independentfilm company that had been filming on location inour area.

Did you get a iob there, too?Yes, I waq very lucky. David took me aloqg one,day, and I showed them what I

Do you have a favourite stunt?Yes, I really enjoyed jumping out of a helicopter inthe Alps. Words can't describe the thrill you feel asyou fall through the air. Although you are only in the airfor a few seconds, it feels like forever!

Your job must be very dangerous. Have you everbeen seriously injured?Aparl from a few broken bones, no. I used to befoolish and think 'lt will never happen to me!'

Reading LinkGI Read the dance festival brochure and say which dances you would be interested in watching or doing.

ffiffi*brur*mmA Dances of IndiaDuring the festival, some of lndia's most famous dancers will be performing classical dances. ln one,the dancers represent characters from another world and show that the trutfr witt always win over lies. Inaddition to classical dances, there will also be two folk dances, one of which is performed in September tocelebrate the arrival of autumn and another that is often performed after a recovery from a serious illness.These are just three of the dances that will give you a better understanding of lndian culture.B Javanese Traditional DancesThe e-Kay Dance Ensemble, which are touring the Far East at the moment, will give two pedormances atthe festival. Both performances will concentrate on court dances as well as traditional dances.One court dance is performed by nine female dancers and tells the story of a meeting with the power{uland beautiful goddess of the South Seas. During this dance, a tenth 'invisible' Oancei a beautiful princess,appears. A second dance represents the wish to live in peace and people believe that it gives physicalenergy when it is danced properly.C Native American DancesAmong the Native American dances is the spectacular Hopi Snake Dance. Before this dance is performed,live snakes are collected. During the dance, members of the Hopi tribe hold snakes between their teeth.The following day, the snakes are released so that they can tell other animals that the Hopi are moving inrhythm with nature.The Hopi often invite members of the audience to parlicipate in their dances, so if you have a fear ofsnakes, sit towards the back of the arena.D Morris DancingMorris dancing began in England in the 15th century when it was part of the celebrations held at cropplanting or harvesting times. lt was well known in Shakespeare's time, but by the end of the 19th

"eniuryit had almost disappeared. At that time, only a small number of people practised it in villages in the EngtishMidlands. Since then, it has been increasing in popularity in England and the USA, where people from allprofessions join together to celebrate the changing seasons. The oancers, known as teams, wear bells,wave handkerchiefs or sticks, and dance to simple tunes.The teams appearing atlhe Att About Dance Festivalcome from different areas of England, so you willnotice slight differences in the dances they perform.E FlamencoAlthough we know that people were dancing flamenco when Charles V of Spain became king, no one isreally sure of its history.There are more than a dozen types of flamenco, many of which express sadness. one classic type tells thestory of a beautiful girl who brings tragedy to herself and her village.Now that most flamenco is performed for tourists, there are complaints that it lacks feeling, but the newsthat Joaqufn Cort6s is going to appear arthe Alt About Dance Festivalguarantees tine ttamenco.F BreakdancingThe Porson Breakdance Association (PBA) trom Detroit is flying in for the last three days of the festival togive a display. For the younger, more adventurous audience, there is the chance to join them on stage.You will see their acrobatic performance of dances such as the bronco, Ninja outbuisl and the suicide.
