    As anyone who freelances(做自由职业) knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.

    Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.

    On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.

    This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the working day.”

    So Hoffice is not just about sharing space; it's also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.

    1.Hoffice was started to ________.

    A. change people’s attitude to work

    B. provide a co-working space for free

    C. improve people’s working conditions

    D. encourage people to be more social

    2.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

    A. How people respond to Hoffice.

    B. What Hoffice means to people.

    C. What people share at Hoffice.

    D. How a Hoffice day works.

    3.Some freelancers’ descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they ________.

    A. work longer than before

    B. can’t be separated from each other

    C. benefit a lot from the working style

    D. expect more people to join them

    4.What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?

    A. It has been popular in many countries for many years.

    B. It has created many new job opportunities.

    C. It focus on not only environment but also human needs.

    D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life.

    In my opinion, classical music is a bit like mushrooms! You don’t see the link? Let me explain. When I was younger, I didn’t like mushrooms. They had a horrible texture(质地)and no taste at all, and I used to pick them out of every dish in which my mum tired to hide them. But gradually, as I got older, my view changed. I started to enjoy mushrooms-flavoured things like soups and sauces, and eventually I found I could eat mushrooms without grimacing(痛苦的表情). And now I even quite enjoy them! So my mum’s prediction that I would “grow into them” was proved quite correct.

    Similarly, I always thought of classical music as this boring genre(类型)that only boring grown-ups liked. Whenever my parents played it in the car, I would count down the minutes until we could change it to my preferred genre: pop. But while at university, I found that calming orchestral music was just the thing for library revision playlists---it had no lyrics to stop me concentrating on my study, and the pieces tended to be very long; perfect for long work sessions!

    Recently, my developing relationship with classical music reached a new level when I voluntarily chose to go to a ballet. Admittedly, it was the dancing that originally attracted me, but once there I thoroughly enjoyed the music too. It was The Nutcracker, and I was surprised by just how much of music I recognized! The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, The Russian Dance, The Waltz of the Flowers—they all sounded familiar. I didn’t know how I knew them, I just knew that I did! And I loved them. My parents would be proud.

    1.Why did the author first hate eating mushrooms?

    A. The author’s mother always cooked them

    B. The mushrooms had terrible look and no taste

    C. Some mushrooms had bad effects on health

    D. Some mushrooms tasted terrible

    2.How does the writer connect classical music with mushrooms?

    A. By comparison B. By the order of time

    C. By telling facts D. By imagination

    3.What did the author’s parents think of classical music?

    A. Uninterested B. Favorite

    C. Curious D. Bored

    4.What’s the best title of the passage?

    A. The Art and Life

    B. The Change of Hobbies

    C. Classical Music and Mushrooms!

    D. Music or Mushrooms?
