The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched(草盖的) roofcottages around a church; a drive through a narrow village streetlined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight overthe rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farmbuilding—these are still common sights in parts of England. Mostpeople will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part ofthe attraction of the English countryside.
Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building craftspracticed in the British Isles. Although thatch has always beenused for cottages and farm buildings, it was once used for castlesand churches, too.
Thatching is a solitary(独自的) craft, which often runs infamilies. The craft of thatching as it is practiced today haschanged very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full－timethatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining andrenewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses.
Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty butbecause they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm inwinter.
In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the worldlives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People indeveloping countries are often unwilling to go back to traditionalmaterials and would prefer modern buildings.
However, they may lack the money to allow them to import thenecessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofsof wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has beendone in the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years and is aneffective defence against the heat.

A．Cottages with thatched roofs.
B．Churches with cottages around them.

B．their easy maintenance
C．their cheap and ready－made materials
D．their style and comfort
