阅读下面的短文，选择正确答案。

What will the house of the future look like？Could it have gardens on its walls，or a pool with fish for dinner？Architects believe that they are all possibilities．The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.

The tree house

Many architects in the world would like to build a“tree house”．Like a leaf，the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day．The energy can be used to heat water，produce electricity，and even create fresh air for the home．The“root”of the house is deep under the ground．It uses the soil to control the home's temperature.

The lizard house

Like a lizard，changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house．When it's in the bright sun，the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat．During dark days，it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.

Meals at home

This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture．It has gardens on the outside wall of the house．People can plant tomatoes，carrots and green tea on them．So every day in the morning，you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.

Learning from the past

Looking to the future isn't the only way to be green．Sometimes，ancient techniques can also help cut down energy use．For example，a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.

参考译文

未来的房屋会是什么样子？会不会墙上有花园，或是池中有鱼可做晚餐？建筑师认为这些都有可能。但唯一确定的是房屋将变得尽可能环保。

树屋

世界上的很多建筑师都想建造“树屋”。和树叶一样，房屋的表面白天收集阳光。收集来的能量可以用来烧水、发电，甚至为房间制造新鲜空气。房屋的“根”深入地下，利用土壤来控制房间的温度。

蜥蜴屋

和蜥蜴一样，随着天气的变化而改变颜色是蜥蜴屋最重要的设计。当光线充足时，房屋的表面颜色会变成白色以防止吸收强热。到了阴天，它又会变暗，吸收尽可能多的光和热以产生能量。

房屋上的粮食

这种设计既是关于将来食品生产的设计，也是关于建筑的设计。房屋的外墙上建有花园。人们可以在上面种植土豆、胡萝卜和绿茶。因此，每天早晨，你只需走到户外采摘你的饭菜即可。

向过去学习

展望未来并不是实现环保的唯一出路。有时候，古老的技术同样可以帮助人们降低能量消耗。比如，烟囱就是有用的空调，因为热空气很容易从中流出。
