36、chaotic commute (乘車往返上下班)during the Olympics will hold no weight. Thats because, in an effort to keep things from progressing slowly this summer, bosses at the London company are asking staff to sleep at work - in space pods. Far from sleeping on the job, engineers will be asked to stay behind and s

37、leep in the closed capsules to avoid the rush hour.And while other companies are planning to offer staff the luxury of working from home during the Games, the firm behind the capsules hopes to get more workplaces on board.Podtime, the firm behind the unusual cabins, are describing them as the perfec

44、the least affordable homes? You are wrong if you guessed the US, even with the housing bubble （氣泡） and main sadness. Nor is it the UK, where prices have risen because demand is far from supply. According to a recent survey of 227 cities around the globe, you must go south of the equator to Australia

45、 to find the most expensive homesThe report measured a citys housing market along the following guidelines. An “affordable” home required three times or less of the average familys income to purchase. At four times earnings, a home fell into the “unaffordable” category. And a “seriously unaffordable

46、” home needed five times a familys income. In Australia, homes in the least affordable city cost just about 9.5 times the average income. Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne were only a little under this figureAustralian officials offered little comment, apart from a general statement on the dismal finding

47、s. These prices make the possibility that many Australians will one day own a home largely unbelievable. Land rationing （配給制） and excessive development charges have raised prices, and the problem will only be solved through urgent action by the Rudd governmentSome American cities were also included

48、on the least affordable list, four of which were in California. America is still involved in a mortgage（抵押）crisis, though, affecting the affordability of homes. Yet a number of US cities gained “affordable” status, namely Dallas and Kansas. Australia had no cities listed in the top fifty places with

50、 or less of the average familys income D. 9.5 times or less of the average familys income 60. What caused the prices of houses to increase in Australia?A. The rising familys income B. The demand over supply.C. The excessive development charges D. The decrease of land61.The underlined word “dismal” i

51、n Paragraph 3 may mean _A. cheerful B. satisfactory C. difficult D. sad62. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Affordable Houses B. A House is a Dream First C. Housing Bubble D. Houses Too ExpensiveDWith the development of society and economy, animals and their habitats are gett

52、ing pushed aside as households decrease in size and increase in number.Small numbers of people per household on average use more energy and goods per person. Greater numbers of households require more natural resources. The possible result of this problem may be insufficient natural resources to mee

53、t consumer demand without endangering habitats important to biodiversity.In south-west Chinas Wolong Nature Reserve, they found that a reduced average household size was directly tied to an increase in homes, and thus an increase in the amount of firewood consumed for cooking and heating. The rise i

54、n wood fuel use has contributed to disappearance of forests and to the loss of habitats for giant pandas. Curious about whether other parts of the world were experiencing similar phenomena, they got the support of a team of researchers including Stanfords Paul Ehrlich, well-known for his population

55、studies, to find out the household dynamics(動態(tài)) in 141 countries. Their study proved that the difficult choice of Wolong is part of a global trend.In the 76 countries considered biodiversity “hotspots”, such as the United States, Brazil, Australia, and Kenya, the number of households grew by 3.1% every year, while the population increased just 1.8%. Meanwhile, the number of people per home dropped from 4.7 to 4.0. The decline in household size has res
