Lighting is a key design feature in your home and deserves consideration, whether it’s to brighten up a dull

corner or you’re planning a full renovation (翻新). Here, we put the spotlight on four key lighting design layers and

how you can use them to capture every room of your home in its best light.

General lighting

Think of general lighting as the background layer that casts an even illumination (照明) throughout a room,

most commonly from your ceiling lights. As these are often the main source of light for a room, it’s wise to have

flexible options depending on the time of day, or desired brightness to suit the mood and the room’s purpose at the

time.

Ambient (氛围的) lighting

Ambient lighting is the layer that adds warmth and softness to your space. Think lamp belt under the kitchen

bench, or floor lamps in the corner. Use ambient lighting where you want to encourage rest and comfort, such as

living spaces and bedrooms.

Task lighting

The next layer to consider is task lighting for more practical uses. These are brighter and are designed to

illuminate workplaces

and are also used for study areas, home offices, bedside tables and reading corners.

Accent lighting

Accent lighting is placed to create a specific light effect, such as downlights or spotlights to highlight artwork,

and wash lights against walls. The layering of accent lighting can be used to highlight architectural details and is an

artful way to create focus and play with light in your space.

1. What is the major function of general lighting?

A. Brightening a dark corner. B. Refreshing the surroundings.

C. Lighting up the entire room. D. Adding warmth and softness.

2. Where is task lighting usually placed?

A. Beside the study table. B. Under the kitchen bench.

C. In the middle of the ceiling. D. On the wall of the hallway.

3. Which lighting can highlight a focus artfully?

A. General lighting B. Ambient lighting.

C. Task lighting D. Accent lighting.

In Takoma Park, Maryland, in suburban Washington, people, adults or students, lined up at a pay phone

outside a restaurant several times a week.

“Once I put the phone out there, it just took off,” said David Schulman, a Takoma Park violinist who created

the Bird Calls Phone. Listeners push 1 to hear a yellow-crowned night heron (夜鹭), 7 to hear a pileated (红冠)

woodpecker’s call and 9 for the distinct scream of a red-tailed hawk. Instructions about how to use the phone are in

three languages: English, Spanish and Amharic — a reflection of Takoma Park’s Ethiopian community. In all, 10

birds native to the Takoma Park area are featured.

In addition to being fun, listening to Bird songs can reduce stress and anxiety, studies show. Even hearing

recordings of birds can relieve negative emotions.

After noticing an abandoned, nonworking pay phone in town, Schulman wondered if he could turn it into

something appealing. He said, “I really like the old technology of just picking up a receiver, pressing one button

and having something happen.” Schulman thought bringing birds sounds to the abandoned phone was a way to add

a bit of nature to the neighborhood.

Takoma Park city officials agreed, and they budgeted $5, 000 to complete the project. Schulman reached out to

The McCaulay Library in Ithaca, New York, which agreed to send him a few dozen recordings of native birds. He

then managed to gain the help of software engineer and artist Branden Hall to rewire the phone to play different

bird calls. Schulman said he persuaded several of his friends to record short descriptions of each bird to go with the

calls.

“One thing I like about the Bird Calls Phone is that it’s the opposite of a loud broadcast,” Schulman said.

“Only one person can listen at a time, and each person will take away their own unique experience.”

4. What will listeners hear if they press buttons on the pay phone?

A. The calls of native birds. B. Songs in different languages.

C. Descriptions of local creatures. D. Instructions on reducing stress.

5. Which of the following best describes David Schulman?

A. Observant and nature-loving. B. Diligent and easy-going.

C. Serious and public-spirited. D. Ambitious and kind-hearted.

6. What can be inferred about the project?

A. It encourages art appreciation. B. It presents the harmony among birds.

C. It turns loud broadcasts into private phones. D. It receives broad support from the community.

7. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. A Violinist Specializes in Ecology B. Pick up the Phone, Hear Bird songs

C. Close to Nature, Far From Depression D. Turn Trash into Treasure in Washington

Rushing down the path, the traceur (跑酷者) is on the lookout for his next obstacles such as fire escapes,

walls, or fences. As soon as he realizes a massive brick wall stands between him and where he wants to be, he

unintentionally grabs on the wall with his hands and lifts himself to stand on top of it. His next move is a jump that

lands him back on solid ground; however, noticing that he is unstable, he rolls to avoid injury.

Traceurs are athletes who perform remarkable gymnastics actions in urban environments. Serious traceurs are

fascinated not just by the physical challenges of Parkour, but by its philosophy. Those who learn to excel at Parkour

claim to develop not just physical fitness, but increased self-confidence and critical thinking skills, as they train

themselves to find ways around every obstacle in their paths.

Because of these philosophical foundations, Parkour is often described by traceurs as more of a lifestyle or an

art form than a sport. Passionate traceurs are determined to keep Parkour from becoming a competitive attempt.

Competition, they argue, devalues the philosophical theory behind Parkour. People who practice Parkour should be

more concerned with their relationship to the environment than with a ticking clock, a score, or a cheering crowd.

Furthermore, traceurs should work with each other to improve confidence, awareness, and unity. Competition, they

argue, only brings about feelings of conflict and disharmony.

While Parkour purists suggest that the philosophy behind Parkour helps to limit injuries, they must remember

that not everyone who tries to leap over a mailbox is an experienced traceur trying to get in touch with his or her

environment. Adolescents attempting to carry out these acrobatic (杂技的) skills could severely injure themselves.
