I didn t have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the window Star Bar. There were some iron tables outside with pl

Francis Chan, an engineer, lives in Hampstead, north London, in a flat thats just 4ft wide by 21ft long. He loves it. Tiny though it is, it has got all the comforts. Peter Baynes, Chans architect (建筑师

38、 ),has achieved a clever piece of design,according to architectural experts. The Chan mini-house was built on what was once a path down the side of a big Victarian house. Not an inch of space is wasted. When you step in through the front door, youre standing in the shower, on Britain s only self-cle

39、ansing doormat (自动清洁门垫 ). A door opens on to an equally tiny toilet with washbasin. Two steps further in comes the kitchen, complete with full-sized cooker and fridge, and washer/ drier. A worktop folds down from the wall. Another step and youre into the dining/ office area. Four people can sit here

40、 for dinner, says Chan as he sets the table-top into place. He even has a fold-down drawing-board for when he s working at home. The bed is hidden under a cover board right at the back. “I dont even have to make the bed,“Chan says. “ I just put the cover down. “ Chans business suits hang neatly on t

41、he wall over the bed. Daylight comes in through the skylight. The house feels like a very small boat and Chan admits he toyed with the idea of naming it the “boat-house“. “It cost around 4,700 to build last year. Now its been valued at 30,000. It proves that good design doesnt need to cost more. It

42、just needs a lot of care.“ says Chan. 64 By saying “Its not much“ (line 1, para. 1),the author means that Chan s flat_. （ A） is cheap （ B） has cheap furniture （ C） has a simple design （ D） is fairly small 65 Where is Chan s flat? （ A） Next to a big house. （ B） Under an old building. （ C） In a busy L

43、ondon street. （ D） By the side of a country road. 66 Which of the following is the right order of things described in the text? （ A） Shower, kitchen, toilet, dining table and bed. （ B） Shower, toilet, dining table, kitchen and bed. （ C） Shower, toilet, kitchen, dining table and bed. （ D） Shower, kit

44、chen, toilet, bed and dining table. 67 What is the purpose of this writing? （ A） To sell Chan s flat for more money. （ B） To tell people how to take care of small flats. （ C） To introduce to readers a cleverly-designed flat. （ D） To call on engineers to design their own homes. 67 I find it annoying

45、and funny when I think about how we use protective or decorative wrappings (装饰性包装 ) in this country. When I come home from the supermarket and start to unpack, I am always shocked at the layers of wrappings we cover our food with. There is hardly anything we buy that doesnt come in at least two wrap

46、pings, and then several of them are gathered by the shop assistant and put into a small bag. Then several of the small bags are grouped together and put into a big bag. If you have several big bags with small bags in them, they give you a cardboard box to put the packages-in-the-little-bags-in-the-b

47、ig-bags in. A lot of things we buy wouldnt really need any protective wrapping at all. The skin of an orange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life, but we arent satisfied with what nature has given it. We wrap them in plastic or put them in a net bag, and then in a paper bag. T

48、he orange inside the skin, inside the plastic which is in the paper bag, must wonder where it is. A box of biscuits often has waxed paper(蜡纸 ) next to the biscuits, a cardboard box holding the food and then a decorative wrapping around it. A relative of ours bought a new sofa recently because she liked the fine leather (皮革 ) it was covered with. She liked it so much she didnt want it to get dirty, so she bought a cloth cover to put over it. We may never again see the leather shes protecting. 68 According to the
