It's not much, but it's home. Francis Chan, an engineer, lives in Hampstead, north London, in a flat that's just 4ft wide by 21ft long. He loves it.
Tiny though it is, it has got all the comforts. Peter Baynes, Chan’s architect (建筑師),has achieved a clever piece of design, according to architectural experts.
The Chan mini-house was built on what was once a path down the side of a big Victarian house. Not an inch of space is wasted.
When you step in through the front door, you're standing in the shower, on Britain' s only self-cleansing doormat (自動清潔門墊). A door opens on to an equally tiny toilet with washbasin. Two steps further in comes the kitchen, complete with full-sized cooker and fridge, and washer/ drier. A worktop folds down from the wall.
Another step and you're into the dining/ office area. Four people can sit here for dinner, says Chan as he sets the table-top into place. He even has a fold-down drawing-board for when he's working at home. The bed is hidden under a cover board right at the back. "I don't even have to make the bed," Chan says." I just put the cover down. "
Chan's business suits hang neatly on the wall over the bed. Daylight comes in through the skylight. The house feels like a very small boat and Chan admits he toyed with the idea of naming it the "boat-house".
"It cost around ￡4,700 to build last year. Now it's been valued at ￡30,000. It proves that good design doesn't need to cost more. It just needs a lot of care." says Chan.
1.By saying "It's not much" (line 1, para. 1), the author means that Chan's flat______.
A. is cheap B. has cheap furniture C. has a simple design D. is fairly small
2.Where is Chan's flat?
A. Next to a big house B. Under an old building
C. In a busy London street D. By the side of a country road
3.Which of the following is the right order of things described in the text?
A. Shower, kitchen, toilet, dining table and bed
B. Shower, toilet, dining table, kitchen and bed
C. Shower, toilet, kitchen, dining table and bed
D. Shower, kitchen, toilet, bed and dining table
4.What is the purpose of this writing?
A. To sell Chan's flat for more money
B. To tell people how to take care of small flat
C. To introduce to readers a cleverly-designed flat
D. To call on engineers to design their own home

In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place．
Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before．Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West．In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university．Students must first pass the strict national examination．However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go．As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university．
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East．Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes．Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West．Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”．
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem．Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school．To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well．Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere．What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education．
1.Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________．
A. they hope their children may easily find a job there
B. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries
C. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries
D. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends
2. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________．
A. without patents
B. living abroad alone
C. with university education
D. speaking no English
3.Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ______．
A. want to leave their own country
B. want them to go to university
C. return to their countries to work
D. want them to be independent
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Parents want better education for their kids．
B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families．
C. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem．
D. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family．
