If I am in the kitchen, which is 25 meters above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I dont have to answer it because visitors cant see I am in!”“There are 142 steps to the top so if I go up and down five or six times a day, its very good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy more than two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Except for that, its a wonderful place to live.”“When we first saw the place, I asked my fathers advice about buying it, because we couldnt decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.”“Living here can be difficultyesterday I climbed a four-meter ladder to clean the windows.

BFrank Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also functional. They fit their purposes very well. Wrights churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable, at home. However, Frank Wrights beautiful, functional buildings are not the only reason why he is famous. There is another reason.Frank Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wrights buildings are not like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wrights ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.The most important idea in Frank Wrights style of architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grass-land. Both the lines of the grass-land and the lines of Wrights house are parallel（平行）to the horizon（地平线）, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, on the contrary, have many vertical（垂直的）lines that form 90 angles（角）with the horizon.60 Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. The Influence of European Architecture on America Architecture.B. The Buildings Designed by the Greatest Architect Frank Wright.C. The Influence of Architect Frank Wright on American Architecture.D. Frank Wrights Contribution to the Improvement of Environment61 What do you know about American Architecture before Wrights time? A. It hadnt formed its own style yet.B. It was a model of modern style.C. Most of the houses were designed by Europeans.D. Most of the houses were practical but not good-looking.62 What is the most important idea in Wrights style? A. Architecture should present a variety of designs.B. A building must have a large grass-land around it.C. Architecture design should match natural surroundings.D. The function of a house is the most important in design.63 Which of the following styles of architecture is true of Wrights“grass-land houses”? A. The houses appear to stand on the horizon.B. The houses are built mainly on the grass-land.C. The houses have many lines that form a right angle with the horizon.D. The houses are special in style with lines similar to those on the grass-land.

Do you LOL (laugh out loud) if he does something funny? If you know what Im talking about, then you are probably already a user of Instant Messaging (IM).The idea behind IM is simple. A program on your computer tells you when a friend is online. You can then send a message to your friend, who can type a reply instantly. To do this, you need an IM program.AIM, an Instant Messaging service provided by AOL, is by far the most popular. It has 195 million users, ICQ, which is owned by AOL, has about 140 million messengers, and MSN and Windows IM make up about 75 million users.The advantage of IM over e-mail is that you can get a reply instantly. IM is already hugely popular in the USA, where the time people spend online is five times of that in Europe. However, IM is starting to take off in the UK, with over 3,000 people signing up to MSN messenger alone every day.While the advantages of IM are obvious, there is one very important disadvantage: you can only contact someone on the same network as yours. If your friend is using AIM, and you are using MSN, you cannot talk to each other. This makes IM less useful than it should be.In general, the future is bright for IM. Lots of programs also allow you to have voice conversations, video conferencingthis means you can see the other person using a webcam(网络摄像头) and also let you exchange pictures, music an
