36、larly those in big cities -can only dream about working in a building of their own. And marking that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical p
37、arts firm in Atlanta. Form the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting(生锈的 ) walls. In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the citys West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandone
38、d years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(拆除 ), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building, The demolition was hard work, but i
39、t gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there the walls, the rust, the light,” Yocum said.” Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. Its like an art installation(装置 ) in there-a slow-motion show.” Since the back building had been con
40、structed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(缓冲 ) zone between the front and the back contains
41、 a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond. Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of their
42、 building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less. 60. According to the passage, it is for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own. A. easy B. unn

45、art galleries C. got inspiration from decorating their old building D. paid more attention to the outside of the gallery 64. The main idea of the passage is that _.

46、y their appearance D. creative people can make the best of what they have C Youre sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠 ). Suddenly, youre yawning with him, thought youre not tired. This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to
47、 sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was discovery that those children who were unable to from normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagions(有感染力的 ) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words. Hogo Critchlcy, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchlcy, our mind an
