Bill Gates, one of the founders of Microsoft, has many admirers. So does his house.
Gates lives in a mansion(豪宅) which lies in Medina, Washington. It covers over 66,000 square feet and overlooks Lake Washington. In the house, there are 7 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms 6 fireplaces, 6 kitchens and a 1000-square-foot dining room. Nicknamed Xanadu(昵称世外桃源) 2.0, it took seven years to build the house and it is worth about $148 million.
Gates’ background allowed him to design(设计) his house with all kinds of high-tech equipment(设备). Hidden cameras and floor sensors(传感器) are everywhere. But that isn’t all the technology this house has to offer. If you are invited to be a guest at Xanadu 2.0, you will wear a smart chip(芯片). Your details will be sent to the chip and it will help to control the objects for each room you walk into. All of the rooms have their own touch-pads to control every way of the room. Gates managed to bring his technological brilliance(聪明才智) to his house.

One night, a little swallow(燕子) flew over the city. He was very tired and wanted to have a good sleep in the city. When he saw the Statue(雕像) of the Happy Prince, he flew down and got ready to sleep between the feet of the Happy Prince.
Just as he was putting his head under his wing, some water fell on him. He thought it was raining. But when he looked up, he found the sky was so clear and bright that he could see lots of stars. Suddenly, he saw some tears(眼泪) were running down the Prince’s golden face.
“Why are you crying?” asked the swallow. “In a little street, there’s a poor house. From one of the windows, I see a woman sitting at a table. She’s sewing(缝) clothes for rich women to wear. On a bed in the corner of the room, her little boy is sick. He’s asking for oranges, but his mother has only water to give him, so he is crying. The boy is so thirsty and the mother is so sad. Little swallow, will you please take her the jewel(珠宝) from the top of my sword(宝剑)?” “It is very cold here and I am leaving for a warm place, but I will stay with you and do as you ask.” The swallow took the bright red jewel from the Prince’s sword and flew away with it in his mouth. He flew into the woman’s room and put it beside the woman’s needle(针).
After he flew back, he told the Prince what he had done. “It’s strange,” he added, “It’s so cold but I feel quite warm now.”
“That’s because you have done a good thing,” said the Prince. The little swallow began to think about this, and then he fell asleep.
根据短文的内容判断正误，正确的写A，错误的写B。
1.The little swallow lived in the city with the Statue of the Happy Prince.
2.The Prince had a golden face.
3.The poor woman’s little daughter was sick.
4.Both the little swallow and the Prince were kind enough to help the poor.
5.From the story we know that the beauty of life is to give roses, to have good smell left in your hands.
