After a tiring day, your bedroom, a comfortable and inviting space, should be one place where you can finally relax. If the space seems too limited, you can try out these tips to make it look larger.
1. Avoid dark colors and increase natural light.
In a small room, walls and decoration that are dark can make the area seem even smaller. Choose light color like cream and peach for your walls. 1. Try to allow as much natural 1light as possible to fall into the room, through the window or the balcony door. 2.
2. Look for furniture that uses wall space.
Choosing furniture that fits into a corner or which can be placed against a wall will greatly increase ground space in your room. 3.-----try hanging some on one wall and see the difference it makes.
3. Find creative ways to store your stuff.
Make full use of the built-in shelves and storing capacities in the kitchen and bathroom.4.You can also look for multi-function furniture: a coffee table with drawers, or a foot stool with interior storage.
4.5.
When doing weekly clean ups, throw out your old and unused objects and keep only the essential items in view. You can also cut back on the unnecessary appliances. Move the table fan out into the living room during winter. If your bedroom is already small, don’t bring in a TV. If you already have one, try moving it out and see if it gains you extra space.

Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.
He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.
That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!
1.Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?
A. Because the roof of the cottage was falling.
B. Because the cottage was in bad condition.
C. Because he was used to living abroad.
D. Because there was no furniture in it.
2.When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because __________.
A. it was completely dark inside
B. there was too much dust in the air
C. something strange blinded them
D. it was too bright inside
3.The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because __________.
A. he did not miss the exciting stories
B. he spent more time with his uncle
C. he had a lucky escape
D. he saw a strange sight
4.Which of the following can best describe the writer’s uncle?
A. Adventurous and good at storytelling.
B. Humorous and good at making jokes.
C. Dependable and generous with money
D. Considerate and sensitive to danger.

Justin’s bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could hardly get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.
“What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?” his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.”
When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack — a smaller bag of his bedroom — a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.
Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.
“Do you think you have something in your backpack that could help me remember my locker combination (箱子密码)?” he asked. “I lost the piece of paper it was written on. I have a science class in two minutes and if I’m late on the first day it’ll make me look bad for the rest of the year.” Kenny looked really worried.
“Relax,” Justin said, taking his backpack off and opened it. “Remember how you borrowed my notebook in my home to write the combination down? Well, I know how I can recover what you wrote.”
He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his backpack. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the marks. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white.
“That’ s amazing!” Kenny said, “I owe you one.” And he dashed off to open his locker.
It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was “Never throw anything out; you never know when it might come in handy.”
1.Why is Justin’s room in such a mess?
A. He always forgets to clean it.
B. He never throws anything out.
C. He has no time to clean it.
D. He shares the room with his brother.
2.In what way is Justin’s blue backpack used?
A. He uses it as a place to store collected objects.
B. He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment.
C. His parents tell him to clean it all the time.
D. He carries it to remind others of his ability.
3.The underlined phrase “pleaded with” means ________ .
A. ignored B. asked C. pushed D. admired
4.How does Kenny feel toward Justin?
A. Annoyed B. Disinterested C. Grateful D. Angry

When a friend comes to you after a stressful day, how do you comfort them? Do you let them complain? Do you pour them a glass of wine? Those could work. But a new study finds that a very effective technique is also simple and easy — hugging.
Michael Murphy is a psychology expert at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He wanted to know if people who received hugs regularly could handle stress and conflict belief. " Individuals who report perceiving the availability of a network of supportive individuals lead to show better adaptation when faced with stress. But your just having a support network does not mean that you definitely feel that support, he said. "So some researchers have argued that many of the behaviors we use to support others who are stressed might actually be counterproductive, because behaviors might unintentionally communicate to others that they're not able to manage stress." he added.
Murphy and his team interviewed 404 men and women every evening for two weeks. During these interviews, the participants were asked a simple yes — or — no question — whether somebody had hugged them that day — and a simple yes or no question of whether they had experienced conflict or tension with somebody that day.
They also were asked questions about their social interactions — how many social，interactions they had that day and responded to questions about negative and positive mood states . And the researchers found that individuals who experienced a conflict were not as negatively affected if they received a hug that day as were participants who experienced conflict and didn't get a hug. Murphy and his team also saw that people who received a hug didn't carry the negative effect to the next day, while those who did not receive a hug would. The findings are in the journal PLOS ONE.
Murphy does include this warning: "So our findings should not be taken as evidence that people should just start hugging anyone and everyone who seems distressed. A hug from one boss at work or a stranger on the street could be viewed as neither agreeable nor positive. " The idea is to relieve stress. Not add to it.
1.What does the first paragraph serve as?
A.A lead-in B.A background
C.An argument D.A summary.
2.Why did the researchers interview those people?
A.To test the influence of hugging.
B.To find out causes of their conflicts.
C.To ask for advice on relieving stress.
D.To seek ways to comfort troubled people.
3.What do Murphy's words warn in the end?
A.The interview results prove their findings.
B.A boss should comfort workers by hugging.
C.There are some limitations of their findings.
D.People should hug others regularly and actively.
4.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.Everyone Needs Hugs B.A Hug Could Do Anything
C.How to Comfort Your Friends D.Hugs Seem to Reduce Stress
