Alaa el-Habashu was shopping for food when he came across a dilapidated (破旧的) 17th-century house being used as a butcher’s shop in the historic Cairo neighbourhood of al-Darb al-Ahmar.

“I was surprised by the beauty”, the U. S.-trained architect said of the house. Built of brick and stone, it has a large courtyard and a number of rooms with beautifully painted wooden ceilings. And he struck up a friendship with the butcher, who owned the building, and received a call from him several years later saying a developer wanted to buy it and pull it down.

Determined to save the building, el-Habashi bought it in 2009．Then he spent ten years restoring the house which he named Bayt Yakan and tried to turn it into a community space.

Today, its beautifully restored courtyard, with lovely flowers growing under the wooden latticed (装有格栅的) windows, hosts many locally led community activities promoting heritage preservation.

Such courtyards played “a key social and economic role” as community centers, el-Habashi said, a role he worked hard to revive.

E-Habashi said there were once around 600 historic houses with similar courtyards — all built facing northwest to catch the cool wind — but just 24 are protected as heritage sites. “As for the rest of them, those that are still standing, who knows what state they are in?” he said. “Every day, another one gets pulled down. The loss of such heritage would be irreparable.”

Public space is becoming less common in crowded Old Cairo, often covered in dangerous air pollution from traffic-packed streets, and affected by increasingly hot summers due to global warming.

“There are very few places where people can come together, away from small apartments and crowded streets,” said el-Habashi. “I hope the old houses can help solve modern problems. They can bring some peace to the neighbourhood. I would love for these houses to become your local parks, where women can bring their kids and sit in the garden.”

4．What did el-Habashi find in al-Darb al-Ahmar area?

A．An empty food store. B．An old friend.

C．A beautiful historic house. D．A U. S.-trained architect.

5．What did el-Habashi do to Bayt Yakan?

A．He rented it out. B．He sold it to a developer.

C．He turned it into a butcher’s shop. D．He spent a lot of time repairing it.

6．What do the numbers in paragraph 6 show?

A．Many people in this area do not have a house to live in.

B．Some community centres are not doing their role properly.

C．Preservation of local historic houses is far from satisfactory.

D．There are many heritage preservation activities led by local people.

7．What does el-Habashi expect of Bayt Yakan?

A．It can be moved out of crowded Old Cairo.

B．It can take the place of apartments for people to live in.

C．It can be a place for people to come together and find peace.

D．It can draw attention to traffic pollution and rising temperatures.

After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.

Unlike common gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, separate rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.

Every four-square-metre room provides a treadmill (跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains (窗帘) for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. But there’s no shower.
