8、r (15) of our landscape is its exquisite moderation. It has been born of a compromise (16) wildness and tameness, between Nature and Man. One (17) for this is that it contains that exquisite (18) between Nature and Man. The fence and the gate are man-made, but are not severely regular and trim (19)
9、they would be in some other countries. The trees and hedges, the grass and (20) flowers, all suggest that Nature has not been forced (21) obedience. The irregularity and coloring of the cottage make it (22) snugly into the landscape, and you feel it might have grown there, because it looks nearly as
10、 much a piece of natural history as the trees. In some countries, the cottage would have declared, “Man, the drainer, the tiller, the builder, has settled here. “ In this English (23) there is no such direct opposition. Men and trees and flowers, we feel, have all settled down comfortably together.

17、ge street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildingsthese are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English count
18、ryside.Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practised on the British Isles(英伦诸岛). Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too.Thatching is a solitary (独自的) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of
19、thatching as it is practised today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because the
20、y know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildin
21、gs. However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defence against the heat.（分数
