Amazing buildings
Krzywy Domek
(Crooked House) Sopot, Poland
Completed: 2004
Inspiration: Fairy tales
Size: About three-fourths the size of a football field
With its warped (弯曲的) walls and a roof that looks like green dragon scales (鳞片) Crooked House is popular with photographers. Inside, though, is a typical mall and office building. People can shop in the stores, eat in the restaurants, and get their hair cut in a salon. A favorite feature is the Wall of Fame, with signatures from Polish celebrities. It’s modeled after the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Cube Houses
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Completed: 1984
Inspiration: Trees in a forest
Size: About one-fourth the size of a basketball court
The 38 Cube Houses are a popular attraction, but they are also real houses that people live in! Architect Piet Blom designed the homes based on the idea of “living as an urban roof”, with the housing above and the courtyards, shops, and even a museum below.
WonderWorks
Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
Completed: 2006
Inspiration: A laboratory in an Italian-style house. What if an experiment inside threw the building into the air and made it land upside down?
Size: About nine-tenths the size of a football field
This indoor amusement park is actually pretty normal. The upside-down features are just for show. Inside are more than 100 hands-on science exhibits and activities, including a hurricane-force wind tunnel, a zero-gravity astronaut-training ride, and a three-story ropes course.
Guangzhou Opera House
Guangzhou, China
Completed: 2010
Inspiration: Erosion of rocks and landscapes
Size: About 13 times the size of a football field
The Guangzhou Opera House was designed by Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid. She said she let natural places inspire her buildings, such as this opera house on the Pearl River. Though nature inspired the architect, she used 21st-century construction and design methods to make her design a reality.

“Mom, I got into the University of Delaware!” I still remember how thrilled I was to be the first one in my family to have the opportunity to study abroad. I was so excited that I did a countdown every single day leading up to the move-in day at the university. However, just a few weeks after I got there, I found it very difficult to adapt to a different country, culture, and a strict curriculum.
I knew studying in a foreign university was going to be hard, but the first exam still shocked me — I got a 58%, the lowest in my life. Worse still, since my day-to-day experiences and interests were so different from the American students’, I was struggling to make friends. I felt like a complete loser and kept thinking maybe I should just give up. But then it occurred to me that I was not studying just for myself, but to live up to my family’s expectations.
Having made up my mind to push myself forward, I came up with a plan to make improvements. The plan was not only about study, but also about my eating and leisure time. I also planned weekly goals on how to make friends, such as “you will talk to someone at the dining hall, and you will not be scared!” Looking back, I find it was definitely embarrassing to plan my days like this, but I did it and made it. I was able to interact with others without looking like an outsider and even made some friends. I even began to teach others about my country, Panama. I told them about typical cultural differences between Panama and the US. It was really exciting to see them eager to learn more about my country.
Now I am a senior, confident, strong and smart. My freshman-year self is extremely proud of how far I have come. The coming graduation surely makes me sad, but I’m sure it’s not the ending, but the beginning of the many more goals I will accomplish.
4.How did the author feel after entering college?( )
A.Thrilled. B.Stressed.
C.Disappointed. D.Proud.
5.What stopped the author from giving up?( )
A.His interest in knowledge. B.His longing for friends.
C.His sense of responsibility. D.His desire for a degree.
6.How did the author overcome the difficulties?( )
A.By turning to his parents. B.By interacting with outsiders.
C.By carrying out an overall plan. D.By engaging in leisure activities.
7.Which of the following can best describe the author?( )
A.Proud and productive. B.Sensitive and cautious.
C.Optimistic and warm-hearted. D.Determined and self-motivated.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
If you have ever kept a secret from a friend, a family member, or a romantic partner, chances are that these same people have kept secrets from you. Not all of them, and not at every moment, but some of them some of the time.
Usually, you rarely get asked about your secrets. When secrets are easy to hide, this doesn’t make them easy to live with. Normally, you share with others what you’re really thinking. But when you have fears and worries, you need to know that people react more positively to disclosures (透露的秘闻) than you often imagine. 8.( ) But when you take the risk to do so, your friend will recognize your sincerity. If you are in a social interaction that makes you feel comfortable and open, you need to recognize the door is open to disclosure, too.
9.( ) Just like the leaves that nobody hears falling, a disclosure with no listener is barely a disclosure at all. When you reveal secrets to others, you are often looking for help, and seeking out the people who prove most helpful. Speaking about a negative experience can have the side-effect of bringing back the negative emotions you associate it with. 10.( )
Another person can offer you two different kinds of help: emotional support and practical support. If you can find someone you feel comfortable opening up to, they are likely to give you one if not both kinds. 11.( ) The harm of negative thinking is easier to break when we bring others in.
If you are currently keeping a secret from a friend, a family member, or a partner, then you probably have at least one more secret than you need to keep. 12.( ) This is all the more reason to share what’s on your mind. When you open up to others, they will open up to you.
A.You are content with the secrets that you keep.
B.You could shout your secret in an empty forest.
C.This means it is time to talk to someone.
D.It might take courage to reveal something sensitive.
E.That’s why shouting your secret out is often not enough.
F.Having extra secrets is burdensome.
G.This increases the risk of spreading secrets.
