阅读下面短文,根据第73至第75小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。

Knowing she would have to spend $14,000 on a place to live during her two-year study at Yale University even if she shared an apartment, Elizabeth Turnbull decided to get creative.
    The 26-year-old graduate student majoring in environmental studies built a house and decided to bring it with her to Yale. It is just 2.5m wide and 5.5m long.

“Well, if I have $14,000 I am going to spend on living space anyway, is there something more creative I can do with it?” Turnbull told US newspaper The Hartford Courant.

Turnbull’s goal is to make her little house as green as possible ― in the sense of environmentally friendly and energy efficient. She is talking with the university about suitable places for her “Tiny House”, as she calls it. Turnbull said she is optimistic she’ll find a spot that is safe and convenient. In a university where students concern as much about their carbon footprint as they do about grades, Turnbull believes her “green” house will be welcomed.

Turnbull expects to light the house and power her cell phone and computer with the energy generated from the solar panels on the surface of her new home. That’s renewable energy, totally free. The house has a recyclable aluminum () roof and uses recycled sailboat sails for the ceiling. Many of the building materials were left over from other people’s home expansions.

An inspiration for her house was the Tumbleweed Tiny House Co. in Sebastopol, Calif., which sells small, transportable homes. But they were more expensive than she could afford.

Gordon Geballe, a lecturer at Yale, said Turnbull’s house would be a symbolic statement, but it would also provide useful information on sustainable living in a small space, which he expects will become more common. “I’m not sure everyone will live in a tiny house, but a lot of people will live in a small house. So the kinds of things she will learn will be useful to engineers and architects and homeowners.”
