18．When young people begin to live independently， home-hunting c an be difficult． But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available --- micro-homes．
Fondly called "tiny houses，
" these houses have all living necessities in a small package， including kitchen， bedroom and bathroom． Generally under 50square meters ， most tiny houses can hold just one or two people though some say t hey have the space for more． What's lost in size is not lost in design a s these homes are often quite modern in design．
Besides an attractive appearance， tiny houses can also have practic al features（特
点）． Making the best of urban space， the 72-to-122-centimeter-wid e Keret House in Warsaw， the world's narrowest home， filled in an alley （小
巷）． The house uses solar power， wind power and rainwater collecti on to make its owner live practically anywhere．
Although micro-homes are attractive， there are a few disadvantage s to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch． Moving into a tiny house， you should throw away unnecessary things． It is also m ostly impossible to invite guests． And finally， a micro-home is likely a temporary（暂时
的） living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more things．
Though the limitation will scare some， there is usually a benefit．A small size results in low prices and small bills， making tiny houses e asier to afford． And though you won't have many things around the h ouse， it makes it easy and simple to keep it clean． Micro-homes are a lso eco-friendly， which can't be matched by other homes． They prob ably aren't for everyone or forever， but when it comes to your next （or first） home， they could be just what you need．
（1）What can be learnt about micro-homes from Paragraph 2_____？A． People can't take a package into the tiny houses．

A． a young person who has many things
B． a person who doesn't have much money
C． a couple who want to protect environment
D． a family hoping to settle down in a city
（4）What can be the best title for the text______？
A． East or west， home is the best．
B． Micro-homes --- more than tiny!
C． Home-hunting --- no easy matter!
D． Tiny or large， this is a choice．
19．Do you love Beats headphones，True Religion jeans,and UGG shoes？These are some of the most popular brands（牌
子） around．They are also expensive．But some experts say they are n ot much better than cheaper brands．
For example,Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports．He tested all k inds of headphones．He says that $80Koss Pro headphones provide bas ically the same quality and comfort as Beats．So why do people pay twi ce or even 10times as much for the hottest brands？
Experts say it's because fashionable,expensive brands send a messag e．Brands say"I belong"or"I can afford it．"
Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price ．They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that th ey last longer than cheaper brands．Some teenagers choose to wear po
pular brands because these brands make them feel good about themsel ves．
Alexandra Allam，17，

"she says．Her friend Emmy Swan agrees，
saying"As long as you can afford it，
it seems reasonable to buy what you want．"But not all teenagers agre e．"Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable，"says Daniel Steinbrecher，16．"It's fake（假的） happiness．"
People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that ma ny designer brands aren't any better．"It's wasteful to buy things just b ecause they are popular，"says Edmund Williams，
