Reading comprehension 1: Read the passage below and choose A, B, C or D to answer each question.
The 2009 British Homes Awards challenged the industry to design a house for the future which can accommodate diverse life stages. The participants were tasked with the remodeling of individual homes so that they were easily adaptable to less mobile inhabitants, and also to create communities in which ageing occupants could continue to enjoy shared amenities.
The winning design, SunnySideUp by Kosi Architects, received 12,000 votes from Mail on Sunday readers. Here are some of its main features:

1. Upside Down House
The architects broke away from traditional norms of having living rooms on the ground floor and bedrooms above. Instead, they placed the living, dining, and kitchen areas on the top floor to maximize energy efficiency. The ground floor now hosts the bedrooms, providing increased privacy and maintaining a cool temperature throughout the day. Floors are linked by wide, gently sloped stairs that allow for stair lifts to be installed as residents age.

2. Flexible Spaces
It's the fact that the space is designed to adapt to the changing needs, including the fluctuating income of its owners, that makes it a thought-provoking design.
The lower-floor bedrooms have separate outdoor access, so owners can rent them out for extra income. Later in the future, those bedrooms can be used as a granny flat, or an office, and can be converted into a separate one-bed flat if your kids won't leave home. If more space is required, there is potential for a gallery floor to be inserted in the living room.

Reading comprehension 2: Read the passage below and choose A, B, C or D to answer each question.
Different people have different views on things, like or dislike, agree or disagree. Multiculturalism is a controversial issue in America. Some people think that multiculturalism is negative, whereas some others think that multiculturalism is positive. In my opinion, I agree with the second view, that multiculturalism is positive.

Multiculturalism is the diversity of two or more cultures in some region or country. [A] America is an immigrant country; most people in America are immigrants. They come from different countries and different ethnic groups; they have different languages, educational backgrounds, customs, values and religions. When they arrive in America, they must communicate with other people in English. They learn English and the culture from American people or earlier immigrants who are around them. In their public activity, they must accept American cultural traditions, but in their private lives, they inevitably use their own customs, values, religions, traditional festivals and experiences to influence their behaviors. They are still retaining their own cultures. [B]

Since the 1960s, The American government has admitted, encouraged and supported cultural diversity. Fair policies allowed all citizens to have the right to preserve their cultural inheritance. Public schools have bilingual education programs for new immigrant children. Under the laws, racism, discrimination and prejudice are significantly decreased. [C] We are understanding and learning from each other more easily than before. We can eat different cultural style foods. We can watch different country's performances. We can enjoy the celebration events of different country's festivals. Kids growing up in this multicultural background are easy to accept different views, values and behaviors of foreign countries. Especially, following the development of the Internet and wireless communication technology, the distance from country to country and people to people has become closer, and the economies between regions and countries are connected more closely. The whole world became a global village [D] Multiculturalism is becoming more important than at any other time in history.

In conclusion, multiculturalism is a good thing for society and people, so it is positive. We need to enhance and develop multiculturalism in our lives.
