Theelephant-shaped house was built in 1881 by James Lafferty. In 1962, Herbert Green built achicken-shaped house.Sarah Winchester tried to build a ghost-proof house in San Jose California. Workers built fakechimneys, doors that open onto blank walls and stairs that lead nowhere. Many rooms were torndown and then rebuilt in a new way to confuse the ghosts. It took 38 years to complete the house!Some houses are built of strange materials. A house in Pigeon Cove, Massachusetts, is built ofmore than 100,000 newspapers. In Canada, George Pat built a house entirely out of bottles.Some homes stand for great wealth and power. The Palace of Alhambra in Spain is one of themost beautiful homes in the world. The man who built it loved water. A stream runs through all 9acres (英亩) of the palace. In each room there is a small pool of sparkling water.Wealthy Americans design dream houses, too. In 1895, Cornelius Vanderbilt built and movedinto a house named the Breakers. He called it his summer cottage. It cost $10 million to build andhas walls decorated with gold. This “summer cottage” could hold 60 guests comfortably.Dream houses dont have to be expensive. A man named Baldasera built a house with 90 roomsfor about only $ 200 by digging under the earth.

Many people use a longweekend for a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore,learn, or relax.Hotel RomanceMany hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagne,flowers, or a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room withsomething special, a heart shaped bed, for example. Additionalo benefits could be room servicemeals or other private dining, plus tickets or discounts for local attractions.Visit a SpaSpa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel thatoffers a spa as one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments fit for their geographic area or alocal attraction. A spa in a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near ahot spring could offer mineral baths. Most spas offer a range of massage, health and beautytreatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other benefits.Learn a SkillA long weekend may not be enough time to become an expert at something new, but it providesa way for people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive courses that last twoor three days. People with special interests can get away from their routines while learning suchthings as how to make beer, speak a new language, or take better photos.Help OthersSome organizations cooperate with businesses to have accommodations (住宿) and activitiesfor short-term volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. Avolunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the same time.Stay in a National ParkFor those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill.

Long Weekend Getaway IdeasCA recent study carried out at the University of Brighton finds that students in Brighton andHove tend to be as part of their local communities instead of just in the students dormitories.Drs Smith and Holt, who made the study, found that only limited number of students livetogether in large groups in Brighton and Hove. In fact, the city provides a valuable case study forother university towns in that, unlike cities such as Nottingham, Cardiff, Leeds and Birmingham,there is no evidence of a student ghetto for the students who are relatively poor.The study finds three main factors influencing the Brighton and Hove situation:The active role of the Universitys Accommodation Office and its creative use has resulted instudents being relatively dispersed (分散) throughout the city, and there is limited evidence ofprivate house company guiding students to particular areas.Most Brighton and Hove students do not feel the need to live in a specific student area to get astudent identity. They feel at home together with other social groups and do not restrict theirshopping or social lives to student-oriented services and facilities. According to the study, the cityscultural diversity is a major influence here and it provides a valuable example for students mixingeasily in the local community.Students consider a wide range of possible living locations throughout the city. Their choicesare, however, to some extent limited by negative views of some areas within Brighton and Hove.The study suggests that more effective student-community relations could help to change thesenegative views, with the result that new living areas for the citys increasing student population couldand should be opened up. Such a development would reduce the possibility of any student ghettoforming in the city in the future.The study also included a survey of what 350 Brighton and Hove students thought about theiraccommodation. This has proved high levels of satisfaction, both in terms of quality and location.49. According to the passage, the students areA. choosing different places to live in the cityB. fond of living together with each otherC. unlikely to go to certain placesD. satisfied with the university dorms50. What does student ghetto refer to?A. A poor city which students mostly visit.B. A good place where students prefer to live.C. A terrible place for students to visit.D. A poor area where students mostly live.51. Which of the following is true about the passage?A. There are student ghettos in other university towns of Britain.B. The city encourages students to live in certain areas.C. The students dont like living in university dorms.D. The students are pleased with the university life.52. Which word can best describe the tone of the passage?Pt. Unsatisfying.13. Subjective.C. Objective.DD.
