1.Scandinavian architecture is a relatively new construct that drew public attention within the last century.It tends to include works associated with Sweden,Denmark,Norway,F(xiàn)inland and Iceland,and it is undoubtedly one of the more influential styles in modern times.
The Scandinavian design style is both simple and comfortable,modern and historic.Home builders influenced by this style are expert at mixing traditional vernacular (民間風(fēng)俗的) styles with modern technology to create a space that is beautiful and aims to make your life better.
Before the early 20th century,much of Scandinavian architecture was vernacular in nature.Homes were built in a simple way using locally sourced materials and knowledge.However,it can be argued that this lack of formal architectural schooling promoted more craftsmanship and creativity as time went on.These vernacular builders were more concerned with function than form.An early example of this is the turf houses in Iceland,which were homes with green roofs that could keep the house in comfortable temperature throughout seasons in an affordable way.
The modern-day version of Scandinavian architecture grew out of this grassroots approach to building.Public buildings originally mixed Neoclassical elements with traditional building styles based on local practices.In the 1930s,the concept of Functionalism was introduced in Scandinavia.With its inspiration,architects wanted the buildings to be simple,but they also wanted them to be beneficial to people in some thoughtful way.For instance,the Paimio Sanatorium that was built in 1933 focused on maximizing quality air and light for tuberculosis (結(jié)核?。?patients.So while modern architecture is all about simple,clean lines,Scandinavian architecture is that and also a style of building that thinks about how public spaces and homes can be valuable to humankind.

2.The key to a happy life has nothing to do with getting ahead at work,making money,or traveling the world.Instead,living your best life and creating meaning is all about one thing:relationships.
A study of adult development has been running at Harvard since 1938,and is now on its second generation of participants—the children of the original study's subjects.Over decades,the research team collected data about their lives,including their physical and mental health,marital (婚姻的) status and quality,career happiness,etc.
They found the most important aspect in how happy and healthy these men were over time was their relationships.In other words:Finding happiness in life is all about the people you love.
The research doesn't only include romantic relationships and marriage.Quality,close relationships are important whether they are in the situation of romantic relationships or closeness between friends or family members.The kind of relationship you have is less important than how close you feel with them.
However,the study only included men,and important gender differences exist in how people experience relationships.Some research suggests that men may benefit more from marriage.But they tend to have a harder time keeping friendships;as men get older,they will more likely say they have nobody to discuss important subjects with.So it's possible that having close relationships throughout their lives might affect men differently than women.
The findings line up with the effects of loneliness.People who are socially isolated have a greater likelihood of strokes (中風(fēng)),heart attacks,and higher blood pressure,not to mention mental health issues.
Unfortunately for the youngest generations,recent surveys found that young Americans are lonelier than older generations.That will likely have a big impact on how healthy and happy people feel throughout their lives.
(1)What's the moral lesson from this passage?
A.Travel far and wide to learn a lot.
B.Keep an open mind to be creative.
C.Treasure your time with your loved ones.
D.Work hard to be the best of your profession.
(2)What's the implication of Paragraph 5?
A.Women are unwilling to participate in the study.
B.Men are better at maintaining a close relationship.
C.Women are not treated equally in scientific research.
D.The findings of the study may not be true for women.
(3)Why is the youngest generation unfortunate?
A.Because they have nobody to talk to.
B.Because they are more socially isolated.
C.Because they can't keep their relationships.
D.Because they suffer physically and mentally.
(4)What is the best title for the text?
A.Close Relationships Make a Happy Life
B.Men Look Forward to Close Relationships
C.Close Relationships Ensure People's Health
D.Men and Women Differ in Keeping Relationships組卷:1引用:6難度:0.5 -
