Yamasaki was different from other architects. His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness. Many of his designs have pools of water, flowers, and windows on the roof to let in light. He wanted to give them a place away from the busy ways of modern life.
Yamasaki worked for several companies. But his success began when he started his own company. In 1956, he won the Architect’s First Honor Award for his design of an airport in St. Louis, Missouri. He won two more awards over the next five years. In 1962, he designed the World Trade Center in New York. In 1993, a bomb exploded (炸弹爆炸) in it. But the buildings did not fall down because they had a good design.

小题3:根据Every summer he worked in a fish factory to help pay for college可知，本空应填pay“支付”。

小题6:根据Yamasaki had strong opinions about his buildings.可知，雅马萨奇对自己的建筑有强烈的观点。故填strong。
小题7:根据Yamasaki was different from other architects可知，雅马萨奇和其他建筑师是不同的，故填same。
小题8:根据But his success began when he started his own company.可知，直到开设了自己的公司，他的成功才开始。”“直到……才”用not ……until。故填until。
小题9:通过阅读第三段可知，在1962年前，他共获得三次大奖。所以本题填three。
小题10:根据Died on Jun,2  1986可知，这是他死亡的日期，故填death。
点评：本题中的部分题目要填的词可以在文中找到如1、2、3、6小题，但第4、5、7、8、10小题需要变换说法，而第9小题需要进行总结。所以做题时应该注意上下文，对不能在文中找到的词，应注意变换说法，并进行合理的推测。
