The adobe dwellings (土坯房)  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  （build）by the Pueblo Indians of the AmericanSouthwest are admired by even  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} most modern of architects and engineers. In addition to their simple beauty, what makes the adobe dwellings admirable is their  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (able) to “air condition” a house without  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( use) electric equipment. Walls made of adobe take in the heat from the sun on hot days and give out that heat   {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( slow) during cool nights, thus warming the house. When a new day breaks, the walls have given up their heat and are now cold enough  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(cool) the house during the hot day;{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the same time, they warm up again for the night. This cycle       (go) day after day: The walls warm up during the day and cool off during the night and are thus always a timely offset(抵消) for the outside temperatures. As {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  (nature) architects, the Pueblo Indians figured out exactly {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  thick the adobe walls needed to be to make the cycle work on most days.
