After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago,
26、where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howards name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing_on idea
27、s that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.The nineteenthcentury poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it
28、promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howards idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howards idea was that a group of people should set up
29、 a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries.

As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limitHoward suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus,
31、 over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide rang of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportun

39、vestment firm LV, also found that many “spacestarved parents” are pushed into a twobedroom home which was perfect when they were a young couple, but has no space for three or so children.

46、。由第三段最后一句话“Grownup children who cannot afford to leave home are also adding to the problem facing families in Britains big squeeze”可推知,一些成年子女买不起房子,所以和父母一起居住,这加重了父母住房的拥挤。8According to the passage,the right size for a home means_.A. parents should have a bedroom of their own B. anyone over 2l needs to
