填空题In his 1988 best seller A Brief history of Time, Stephen Hawking made readers wonder: if the universe is expanding, where is it expanding to?
Now Hawking has teamed up his daughter, Lucy
1
Hawking, to write George"s Secret Key to the Universe,
the first in a trilogy of novels directed at the fertile minds of
children. In an interview on e-mail, Hawking explains:
2
"The aim of the book is to encourage children"s sense of
wonder at the universe. We want them to look up outward.
3
Only then will they be able to make the right decisions to
safeguard the future of the human race."
George"s Secret Key to the Universe
, aimed 9-to 11-year-olds,
4
tells the story of a young boy, George, and a cheery astrophysicist,
Eric, who talking computer opens a portal to the known
5
universe. The duo don spacesuits and use the portal to search
for planets to which humanity can escape the irreversible
6
warming of the earth. Along the way, George and the reader
learn from the basics of astrophysics and astronomy through
7
illustrations and captioned photographs. "You don"t need
actual secret key to explore the universe," George ultimately
8
discovers. "There"s one that everyone can use. It"s called physics."
The Hawkings portray the universe as harmony and
9
largely benign. But our present know ledge of the universe suggests
that it is, in fact, a desolate and often violent expanse place in
10
which humankind plays an inconsequential role.

填空题The Health Risks of Small Apartments
New York City has a housing problem. Currently, it has 1.8 million one-and two-person households, and only one million studios and one-bedroom apartments. The obvious solution seems to be to develop more small residential units. But as New York City"s "micro-apartment" project inches closer to reality, experts warn that micro-living may not be the urban panacea we"ve been waiting for.
"Sure, these micro-apartments may be fantastic for young professionals in their 20"s," says Dak Kopec, director of design for human health at Boston Architectural College. "But they definitely can be unhealthy for older people, say in their 30"s and 40"s, who face different stress factors that can make tight living conditions a problem." Research, Kopec says, has shown that crowding-related stress can increase rates of domestic violence and substance abuse.
For all of us, daily life is a sequence of events, he explains. But most people don"t like adding extra steps to everyday tasks. Because micro-apartments are too small to hold basic furniture like a bed, table, and couch at the same time, residents must reset their quarters throughout the day. In this case, residents might eventually stop folding up their furniture every day and the space will start feeling even more constrained.
Susan Saegert, professor of environmental psychology at the CUNY Graduate Center agrees that the micro- apartments will likely be a welcome choice for young New Yorkers. But she warns that tiny living conditions can be terrible for other residents—particularly if a couple or a parent and child squeeze into 300 square feet for the long term, no matter how well a unit is designed. "I"ve studied children in crowded apartments and low-income housing a lot," Saegert said, "and they can end up becoming withdrawn, and have trouble studying and concentrating."
"When we think about micro-living, we have a tendency to focus on functional things, like is there enough room for the fridge," explained University of Texas psychology professor Samuel Gosling, who studies the connection between people and their possessions. "But an apartment has to fill other psychological needs as well, such as self-expression and relaxation, which might not be as easily met in a highly confined space."
On the other hand, Eugenie L. Birch, professor of urban research and education at the University of Pennsylvania, says this certainly isn"t the first time we"ve had this debate over micro-living. New York has grappled with the public health costs of crowded living conditions and minimum apartment standards throughout its history.
Rolf Pendall, director of the Urban Institute"s Metropolitan Housing and Communities Policy Center asks: Where would all these people be doing business and living without the density? Would they be commuting longer distances or earning less, and is living farther from economic opportunities "better" for them? In that context, Pendall says he welcomes micro-apartments as long as they fit within the larger housing ecology of the city, and don"t ultimately displace other types of units for families.
For this project, while New York may be taking a step backwards in terms of square footage, Eric Bunge, working at Architects, (the firm that created the winning micro-apartment design), is firm that the city is taking a big step forward in terms of actual living conditions. "The city sees this initiative as one mechanism in a set of complex issues," Bunge says. "Nobody is claiming that micro-apartments will be a silver bullet."
A. micro-apartments should be welcomed as long as they do solve the housing problems for some people.
B. micro-apartments may not fill people"s psychological needs.
C. micro-apartments will be an attempt help to solve the housing problems, but not a cure yet.
D. micro-apartments may be welcomed by the elder people.
E. narrow living conditions may cause the increase of domestic violence.
F. children growing up in crowded apartments may have trouble studying and concentrating.
G. micro-apartments may be unhealthy for young people to live.
