As a sculptor,Gregory Kloehn often felt his sculptures that stayed in one place for years on end,lacked a meaningful purpose. So he decided to channel his artistic energies into creating homes.
Over the years,he built lots of small houses,bars and restaurants from recycled shipping containers. But the thought of doing the same for the homeless never occurred to him. That idea hit in 2013 when a homeless couple in search of a tarp(防水布) ，knocked at his door. While Gregory did not have a tarp,he did have a small wooden structure complete with a water tank and built-in kitchen that he offered them. They were so grateful for his generosity that Gregory decided to build more for other people in similar situations.
Since starting the Homeless Homes Project in 2013,Gregory has donated ten homes to the most needy. The brightly colored houses that are the size of a regular sofa,are not fancy,but they do provide a safe place for the homeless to sleep in.
Gregory often goes hunting for raw materials by digging through dumpsters(垃圾箱) in an industrial area of Oakland. Everything he finds is usable — refrigerator doors become house doors,pizza delivery bags turn into insulators (隔热层) , while washing machine doors often serve as windows. Wheels at the bottom allow the homes to move around easily,while pitched roofs (斜屋顶) help make the shelters rain-proof. Gregory says that each mobile shelter which is built with a team of volunteers,costs between $30-$50 in screws,nails,glue,and the gas that he uses to search for materials.
Like any other project,Gregory has seen his fair share of challenges. The original house which inspired the whole movement was firebombed,while another was stolen. One homeless recipient (接受者) sold his home for $80,which has since been used as a dog house. But those incidents are few and far between. Most are thrilled with their houses. A woman named Wonder calls her new home,which is made from an unwanted picnic table,the best one she has had in five years.

B
The planned “migration” of BBC3 from broadcast to the Internet in the autumn of 2015 means the “Youth” section of the BBC’s audience with the least political power and the fewest public voices will become an afterthought (事后想起的事) .
I don't watch BBC3. Equally,I question its credentials(资格) as the home of yoythfiil innovation when I note a lot of Doctor Who md Top Gear reruns on an evening-only channel. But BBC3 isn’ t aimed at me. For me,and for the rest of the white,middle-aged licence-fee payers who have arguments over the company's output,there are plenty of alternatives(替代品) .
Some would say the company's rapid expansion at the start of the century now looks like overconfidence. The attempt to provide an excellent service to all ages and all interests in a multi-channel world might have been considered as a modem version of the old BBC mission to educate,inform and entertain; but it appears to have been misjudged.
You could ask how the hard financial choices are made and why. BBC3 has 13 million viewers a week. In August last year, Radio 4 hit a “record-breaking” weekly score of 10. 97 million.
Which group is better placed to influence those who run the BBC? To whom would politicians listen?
The answer is obvious. If yOU believe that the Today programme is a bit more important to society than Snog Marry Avoid?, you' 11 probably think the obvious answer is the right answer. But the BBC3 viewer base consists of about a million of the young unemployed — less likely to be white and middle class than the Radio 4 fan base; more likely to be excluded from the political process. They are no match for the grey power of pensioners.
To my taste,most of the things on BBC3 are rubbish. But I'm delighted to see that the BBC will go on trying to cater to (迎合) my interests and tastes for a long time to come,just as it will go on serving up EastEnders and witless talent shows to those numerous enough not to be seen as a minority.
For whom does the BBC exist? The minority — young Britain — just got pushed to the back of the queue.
6. Among whom is BBC3 popular?
A. The old. B. The youth.
C. The adults. D. The middle-aged.
7. The BBC's attempt to satisfy all audiences.
A. attracted more viewers
B. proved to be a big success
C. suffered financial difficulties
D. got support from the government
8. The underlined part “excluded from” in , Paragraph 5 can be replaced by .
A. lost in B. kept out of
C. involved in D. taken care of
9. What does the author think of BBC3?
A. It is an awful channel.
B. It will have a bright future.
C. It should be aimed at all ages.
D. It cannot be replaced by other channels.
10. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. Who should run the BBC?
B. For whom does Radio 4 exist?
C. What programmes should BBC3 run?
D. Who decided BBC3's online migration?
