Tired of living in the same location but don’t want to leave the house you love? That wouldn’t be a problem if architect Felipe Campolina had his way.
The Brazilian architect has designed a concept for a home tower consisting of portable, stackable (可叠起堆放的) apartment units, which he says opens up new possibilities for ways of living in the city.
His design would allow owners to take their home with them when they travel — whether for a weekend away or for longer periods, he said.
The mobile home tower project is at the concept stage, and it could be years before it is built, if ever at all.
But if it is realized, it would offer an eco-friendly solution to living in urban areas, Campolina said.
“We have enough technology to build with fewer materials and minimize (使减至最小) the impact on nature,” he said.
His vision would call for units with a green roof and walls and a system for recycling water.
The tower, whose first floor would be built nine meters above ground, would also make it possible to save space in thickly populated areas.
“It is designed to facilitate (使便利) its application in dense urban centers, where space is very limited,” he said.
Still just a concept, Campolina — who designed the building for architecture journal eVolo’s Skyscraper Competition — said with enough public interest, it just might become a reality one day

  1. 1.

    We can learn from the first four paragraphs that the tower _____

    1. A.
      is now being built
    2. B.
      is intended for people in the countryside
    3. C.
      will be made up of mobile living units
    4. D.
      was designed by a US architect
  2. 2.

    Which of the following is TRUE about the home tower?

    1. A.
      All its walls will be painted blue
    2. B.
      It will have a waste paper recycling system
    3. C.
      It will be made of recycled rubbish
    4. D.
      It will do little harm to the environment
  3. 3.

    The building’s first floor would be built high above ground _____

    1. A.
      to save space in crowded cities
    2. B.
      to make the building attractive
    3. C.
      to build the house solidly
    4. D.
      to fix its units more easily

Nicole Delian, 17, suffers from a condition that makes her sleep up to 19 hours a day and as  much as 64 days in a row. Nicole Delian is tired of sleeping.

This 17-year-old teenager from North Fayette, Pa., has a rare condition called Kleine-Levin  Syndrome -- or "Sleeping Beauty Syndrome" -- that makes her sleep 18 to 19 hours a day.

And when she does wake up, she is often so tired out that she is in a sleepwalking state and  doesn't remember doing basic things like eating, according to KDKA-TV.

Nicole's sleepwalking state has been so severe that she once slept through the holidays, awaking one day in January when she finally opened Christmas gifts alongside her family,  according to ChartiersValley.Patch.com.   .

"She's never really adjusted to it," her mother, Vicki Delien told the website. "She's 17 now  and it really upsets her. She's missed out on a lot."

Delien told talk show host Jeff Probst that the teen has at times slept 32 to 64 days in a row,  waking only in sleepwalking mode to eat.

Kleine-Levin Syndrome is incredibly rare, only affecting about l,000 people worldwide, and very hard to diagnose.

In Nicole's' case, it took 25 months for doctors to diagnose her, according to ChartiersValley.Patch.com, and everything from a virus, to epilepsy(癫痫) to West Nile was mentioned, including, unfortunately, the possibility she was faking it for attention..

When a typical episode of Sleeping Beauty Syndrome begins, the patient becomes progressively drowsy(昏昏欲睡的) and sleeps for most of the day and night, waking only to eat or go to the bathroom, according to the Klein-Levin Syndrome Foundation website. "When awake, the patient's whole behavior is changed, often appearing “stupid" or childlike. When awake he experiences confusion, complete lack of energy, and lack of emotions."

Patients also report that everything seems out of focus, and that they are hypersensitive to noise and light. Some patients also have intense food cravings(渴望).

The Delians did not say whether Nicole has experienced these symptoms.

There is no known cure, but Nicole's family is using a combination of epilepsy and narcolepsy(发作性嗜睡病)medication to minimize the incidents to just two a year.

1.What's the reflection of Nicole's sleepwalking state?

A.Being forgetful.                       B.Missing Christmas.

C.Sleeping around the clock.               D.Being exhausted and bad-tempered.

2.According to the passage, Kleine-Levin Syndrome         .

A.is not impossible for doctors to diagnose

B.affects approximately l,000 people all round the country

C.is also known as Sleeping Beauty Syndrome which only affects females

D.makes those suffering this condition sleep as much as 64 days in a row without eating

3.Frorn the passage we can infer that        .

A.the disease will change the patients' behavior for good

B.the case of Nicole has been covered several times by different media

C.the.patients of this kind are more and more sleepy when the syndrome begins

D.the patients of this kind become too sensitive to being exposed to any noise and light

4.According to the passage, Nicole           .

A.was once suspected of lying about her condition

B.has a good appetite for food because of the disease

C.has adapted to the condition and can well cope with it

D.will be cured of the disease by using the combined medication
