    Most young architects – particularly those in big cities – can only dream about working in a building of their own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brian Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts firm in Atlanta. From the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting （生锈的） walls.

    In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the 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 there – the walls, the rust, the light,” Yocum said. “Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation （装置） in there – a 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.

    According to the passage, it is     for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.

        A. easy            B. unnecessary          C. unrealistic      D. common

    Yocum bought the old building because _________.

    A. it was a bargain to him

    B. it was still in good condition

    C. it was located in the city center

    D. it looked attractive from the outside

    Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell＿.

    A. pulled rubbish out through the roof

    B. removed the skylights from the bathroom

    C. presented a slow–motion show in an art gallery

    D. built a kitchen at the back part of the old building

    It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell __.

    A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roof

    B. turned more old buildings into art galleries

    C. got inspiration from decorating their old building

    D. paid more attention to the outside of the gallery

    The main idea of the passage is that __.

    A. people can learn a lot from their failures

    B. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building

    C. people should not judge things by their appearance

    D. creative people can make the best of what they have

    Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.

       “Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily ,” Tony said, ”You don’t have any luggage, right?”

    “Only this backpack,” Brian answered. ”You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”

    “That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”

    “Thanks.”

     Is Brian a criminal(罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air-courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.

     Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!

     52.Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?

     A. Because they were the uniforms for air couriers.

     B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.

     C. Because his backpack had no room his clothes.

     D. Because he did not have any luggage with him

     53. An air courier is a person who_________

    A .manages a business company in foreign countries

    B. organizes international flights for tourists

    C. travels around the world with cheap tickets

    D delivers papers and packages to foreign countries.

    54. Business choose the air-courier service because_____.

    A. it costs less   B. it is flexible   C. it saves time   D. it grows fast

    55. One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he_____.

    A. cannot decide when and where to travel

    B. cannot take any luggage with him

    C. has to wear two pairs of jeans

    D .saves little money from the travel

    56. The author of the text mainly______.

    A. describes the activities of a law-breaker

    B. suggests an ideal way to travel

    C. argues against the air-courier travel

    D. tells us about a developing business
