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 it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do,and“to treasure what was therethe 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 therea slow-motion show. “since the back building had been constructed 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 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 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.1. according to the passage,it isfor most young architects in big cities to work in a building of

from farm to fork. each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub saharan africa. this raises some important questions. in developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling, storage or market access for their crops. their grains, fruits and vegetables dry up and rot away. in developed countries, the picture is different, and food is wasted in supermarkets, restaurants and at home. china faces both problems, significant losses in farms, as well as at the sale and consumption stages. and the amount of food wasted by chinese consumers is rapidly increasing. consumer culture has filled china and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in the country and from across the planet. chinese consumers are as particular about their food as those in other countries. in supermarkets, they refuse to buy vegetables that dont look fresh or have an irregular shape, or milk and other products close to
