题目内容:
Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus (校园) of the University of Pitsburgh (commonly referred to as Pitt) set themselves the opposite problem—how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.
Some parts of most modern buildings—theaters and offices as well as classrooms, are more sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing (重新分配) is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the campus’s system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.
Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students, and the larger a student is, the more heat he produces.
We may conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working overweight male genius.
