Your house is a place to kick back and get comfortable. But what if it also had 27 floors, a replica (复制品) of King Tut’s burial chamber (墓室), or an indoor garden? Make yourself at home in some of the coolest houses from around the world.
Sea Creature Shack Naucalpan, Mexico
Here’s what it’d be like to live in a shell. Architect Javier Senosiain designed this home to look like a real shelled sea creature called the nautilus. The house has rooms and hallways, plus a large front window with multi-colored glass. There’s even an indoor garden. The center of the house holds a TV room lined with soft sofas. If you lived here, you’d never want to come out of your shell.
Tower Power Mumbai, India
For a billionaire looking for new digs, the sky’s the limit. One wealthy businessman even had a 27-story tall building used as a private home for his family of five. The tower — which supposedly cost one billion dollars — boasts a spa, ballroom, movie theater, and yoga studio. Living the high life comes at a price, though. The building’s first electric bill reportedly totaled $115,000.
Pyramid Palace Wadsworth, Illinois
The United States isn’t known for having pyramids (金字塔) or pharaohs (法老). But one Illinois family decided to switch things. Jim and Linda Onan built a six-story pyramid house complete with a replica of King Tut’s burial chamber, and enough gold plating to please the pickiest pharaoh. Even the family’s cars get the ancient Egyptian royal treatment — the garage is shaped like three pyramids. 21. It can be learned that the Sea Creature Shack _____.
A. has lots of shells B. is located in a garden
C. has the basic conveniences D. was designed by an Indian architect 22. The underlined word “boasts” can be replaced by “_____”.

Would you jump off the Great Wall of China for 300 pounds a day?
A stunt (特技表演)person is a man or woman who does all the dangerous bits of acting work in films or on TV. This can be anything from a simple fall into a swimming pool, or walking off the top of a tall building. It sounds like a job that you would have to be made to try, but there are actually lots of people who want to do it.
Sarah France, twenty-four, is one of Britain’s sixteen professional stunt women ---there are one hundred and sixty stunt men in the country. We asked Sarah how she came to be a stunt woman.
“When I was young I was trained to be a dancer, and for seven years after school I was hardly out of work. A dancer’s life is pretty short, though, and my father suggested I should think about doing stunt work after I’d given up dancing. I thought about it for the next two years and decided to have a go. For six months, I worked really hard every day. I had to learn different skills---swimming, jumping, horse -riding, etc.” Sarah finished the course in just five months and applied to the office which decides whether you’re accepted as a professional stunt person or not. Two weeks after she was accepted, Sarah was throwing off the Great Wall of China in Superman IV.
“I was very lucky to get work so quickly. I had a small part, playing a traveler who fell off the Wall after an earthquake. The traveler’s life was saved by Superman, of course! Actually, I fell forty-five feet into a pile of cardboard boxes! You can’t use anything softer than that or you will be brought back into view of the cinema. Instead you just have to learn to fall properly. It’s quite dangerous but I enjoy it.”
24.Quite a number of people want to do dangerous acts in films because___________. A．they are mad
B．they don’t think them dangerous
C．no training is needed D．they can earn much money
25．Sarah gave up dancing because___________.
A.her father persuaded her to do stunt work B.she could not go on dancing forever C.she had to work hard every day D.she was often out of work 26．Soon after Sarah got her new job as a stunt person, ______________. A．an earthquake took place near the Great Wall B．she fell off the Great Wall and hurt herself C．she was asked to act in Superman IV D．she learned how to fall properly
27．The purpose of the first sentence of the passage is to ____________. A．draw the readers’ attention to the whole passage B．invite you to try jumping off the Great Wall for money C．ask you to be a stunt person
D．raise a question for the readers to think about
C
Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger’s personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.
“Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers,” the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. “Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal indications with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.”
Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a person’s general age, their gender, income, political affiliation(派别), and other personality characteristics, including someone’s emotional stability.
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone’s shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study’s participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
So, what do your shoes say about your personality?
Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore
