belowas ahelp.
Whycan you see it’s called abubblehouse?
Cyril Dick’s house is not a modern house or a house of the future. It is 40 years
old. There are more houses like that in the south of France. They are called
“bubble(泡泡）houses”，and you can seewhy !
Cyril Dick is a designer and he loves round things. He collects old records and
clocks. He also collects round furniture(家具）.And nowhehas a round house.
Everything in the “bubble houses” is round. The centre of the house is a very big
bubble . This is both the living room and dining room. There are round armchairs, a
round table, and a fireplace(壁炉）.Around the living room are three small bubbles.
Onebubble isa kitchen with round shelves(架子），anotherbubble isthegarden room,
3and the third bubble is a music room. Upstairs there are two more bubbles --- a
bedroom and abathroom.
The doors and windows are also round, of course. The windows are like eyes.
There aren’t any curtains(窗帘）in the house,because Cyril likes to see the garden all
thetime.
Bubble houses are theidea ofaHungarian architect(建筑师）,AnttiLovag.“Alot
of modern houses are bad for us, especially(尤其是）tall buildings of flats,” says
Lovag. “Roundhomes are morenatural, so peoplefeel happy in them.”

I.Read thearticle andfill inthe blanks.
Somehouses around the world are rather special!
The Bedouin people of the Middle East and North Africa live in interesting
homes. The Bedouin people live in the desert, and they move around without staying
to live in one place very long. So, they live in tents that are made of animal hair. The
tents are easyto put upandtake down when they movefrom place to place.
Before people made the first tents, they lived in caves. Some people in the
southern part of Spain live in caves today, too! They call these cave homes “cuebas”.
These caves keep thehousecool during thesummerand warm duringthe winter.
Another type of home is the “igloo” used by the Inuit people of Canada and
Greenland. Igloos are normally made of ice and snow. The igloo protects the people
from thewind as well as keeps them warm.
The Bagabao people of the Philippines used to live in what may be a childhood
11dream for some—a treehouse! These treehouses were built so that the people could
watch forenemies and protect themselves from wildand dangerous animals.
If you get thechance,besure to check out different homes ofdifferent cultures!
