Tired of living in the same location but don’...

Tired of living in the same location but don’t want to leave the house you love? That wouldn’t be a problem if architect Felipe Campolina had his way.

The Brazilian architect has designed a concept for a home tower consisting of portable, stackable (可叠起堆放的) apartment units, which he says opens up new possibilities for ways of living in the city.

His design would allow owners to take their home with them when they travel — whether for a weekend away or for longer periods, he said.

The mobile home tower project is at the concept stage, and it could be years before it is built, if ever at all.

But if it is realized, it would offer an eco-friendly solution to living in urban areas, Campolina said.

“We have enough technology to build with fewer materials and minimize (使减至最小) the impact on nature,” he said.

His vision would call for units with a green roof and walls and a system for recycling water.

The tower, whose first floor would be built nine meters above ground, would also make it possible to save space in thickly populated areas.

“It is designed to facilitate (使便利) its application in dense urban centers, where space is very limited,” he said.

Still just a concept, Campolina — who designed the building for architecture journal eVolo’s Skyscraper Competition — said with enough public interest, it just might become a reality one day.

1.We can learn from the first four paragraphs that the tower _____.

A．is now being built

B．is intended for people in the countryside

C．will be made up of mobile living units

D．was designed by a US architect

2.Which of the following is TRUE about the home tower?

A．All its walls will be painted blue.

B．It will have a waste paper recycling system.

3.The building’s first floor would be built high above ground _____.

Focus on the common things you have with other people rather than the differences3.But too many times a person can focus on what other people do not like or believe，,and this can give them a negative (负面)opinion of others without even tiying to find some common ground on which they do agree.

4. Do not drift off or try to think of what you are going to say in response. You will be surprised how much people appreciate someone who is really listening without judging or arguing.

5. Let them understand that there are certain conversation topics and actions that you do not tolerate. It is up to you to set them and make people know and follow them. However, do not be argumentative about setting them.

Some people just cannot get along no　 matter what measure you take to make a relationship work. So just stay out of these people's way and let them live their own lives apart from you.
