A large, detached(独立的) house not only ensures privacy. It is also a status symbol. The "magnificent home" is set in a big garden. Of course, this kind of house is an unrealistic dream for most people. But even a small detached house, surrounded by a garden, gives the required suggestion of rural life which is dear to the hearts of many British people. Most people would be happy to live in a cottage(村舍) , and if this is a thatched(茅草屋顶的) cottage, suggestive of a pre-industrial age, so much the better.
Most people try to avoid living in a block of flats (what the Americans call "apartment blocks"). Flats, they feel, provide the least amount of privacy. With a few exceptions, mostly in certain locations in central London, flats are the cheapest kind of home. The people who live in them are those who cannot afford to live anywhere else.
The dislike of living in flats is very strong. In the 1950s millions of poorer people lived in old, cold, uncomfortable nineteenth century houses, often with only an outside toilet and no bathroom. During the next twenty years many of them were given new " high-rise" blocks of flats to live in which, with central heating and bathrooms, were much more comfortable and were surrounded by grassy open spaces. But people hated their new homes. They said they felt cut off from the world with all those floors up. They missed the neighborliness. They couldn’ t keep a watchful eye on their children playing down there in those lovely green spaces. The new high-rise blocks quickly got broken. The lifts didn’ t work. The corridors were dark. Windows were damaged and were not repaired. There was graffiti all over the walls.
A garden is considered to be desirable because______.
选项
A、it’s British
B、it appears rural
C、gardening is popular
D、children like gardens
答案
B
解析
根据第一段第五句“But even a small detached house,surrounded by a garden,gives…”可知,即便是一所被花园包围的独立小屋,也是许多英国人心中所珍 视的乡村生活的迹象。由此可推知,英国人渴望拥有一个小花园,因为它能满足他们 对乡村生活的向往。故选B。
