A camp built by students and volunteers spreads over Southern Methodist University（SMU）. The affordable 21 are designed to be used by the poor as well as survivors of war and natural disasters.
“By the time 2020, there’s going to be about 1.7 billion people living in slums（贫民窟） so we would like to 22 change,” says Stephanie Hunt, co-founder of the Hunt Institute for Engineering and Humanities at SMU. The institute, which 23 build the village on SMU’s campus, was established to solve problem of the poor in the United States and around the world through engineering, and the free 24 .
The goal is not just to 25 lives, but to change the victims’ lives. The Institute hopes some entrepreneurs（企业家） might program and 26 some money with these ideas. One of the structures in the SMU village was built with bricks made 27 from recycled plastic bags.
They’re 28 together with heavy wires. Harvey Lacey, father of two college-aged sons, including one here at SUM, heard about this project and 29 his invention. It’s a heavy-duty, hand-crank compactor（手动压缩机）that anybody can use to form the big bricks he calls Ubuntu Blox.
“The advantages are that these 30 weigh less than two pounds. They’re very, very 31 These things can go for many generations of housing, ”says Lacey, who is 32 the design. Anybody can follow his online plans to 33 the compactor that turns plastic bags into bricks.
On this warm day, it’s 34 inside the Ubuntu Blox hut, thanks 35 to the thick plastic insulation（绝缘）. Kenyan 36 Ronald Omyonga, visiting the global village before returning to his native Africa, says his country is full of these recyclable bags. With Lacey’s design, he says that litter could be transformed into 37 housing. He dreams of other 38 too.
“Look at the Harvey Lacey hut, as a means of creating 39 ,”says Omyonga.“Leaning the environment, and turning 40 into something that can form houses, not just for the poor.”

Dear Mr. Black,
I’m Li Hua, an exchange student from China. I had been studying in your school for a year. I am deep moved by the kindness of people around. What I want to say first is that the teachers here are very friendly. They do what they can help me and encourage me to study hard. Whenever asking, they give satisfactory answers. Beside, my classmates offer me a lot of help, either. We get on well to each other and I have made quite a few good friend. At home, Walter’s parents take good care of me, treating to me as if I were their own child.
I’m so grateful to all these people, with their help I have been accustomed to American culture and gained a lot of knowledge.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Kripke’s Research Tool
B. Dangers of Habitual Shortages of Sleep
C. Classification of Sleep Problems
D. A Way of Overcoming Insomnia
E. Sleep Problems of Long and Short Sleepers
F. Oversleeping — Too Much of a Good Thing
1. ______
Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known, new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
2. ______
Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep, as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
3. ______
Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic(慢性的) shortages of sleep — for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
4. ______
For the current report, Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires, in which participants indicated how mush they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems. Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night, arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep, and having tiredness interfere with day-to-day functioning.
5. ______
Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours. In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence, he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed. “It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake,” he said.
