Kitchen Design
Over the years economic, social and technological factors have influenced the design of kitchens. Since it is often used simultaneously by both family members as well as guests, the kitchen requires not only a glamorous look but a practical one. Also, the design elements must meet the needs of the modern family.
Environmental concerns have had an enormous impact on kitchen design. This concern includes recycling of house hold material, as well as energy efficient appliances and the purity of both water and air. Research shows that up to 85 percent of the population is concerned about what might be in their drinking water. They are also often dissatisfied with the taste and odor of what comes out of their tap. This is why it’s important to consider adding a water filter system.
The character of today’s kitchen is very different from the way it was thirty years ago. There’s more sophistication in food preparation, and more technological help with cooking and clean-up.
When choosing cabinets, first consider the style. Use the architectural style of your house as a guide. Because cabinets are a big investment, it is best to choose quality. Popular styles in kitchen cabinets are framed panel doors with raised or recessed panels of wood, cabinet fronts with glass panes, or simple slab doors in a rich painted or laminated finish. Cabinet pulls, don’t be afraid to mix and match styles.
Because many of today’s kitchens consist of two of more cooks sharing in the meal preparation, there is a need for more counter space, cooktops and sinks. Although lifestyles are changing, the primary function of the kitchen as an area for preparing food has remained unchanged. The sink remains one of the most used areas in the kitchen as well as an important decorative statement.
Appliance technology is moving at a very fast pace. Choosing what type of appliances as well as how many will depend on several factors such as how often and how much you cook and the size of your kitchen.
Don’t limit yourself to one of each kind of appliance. You can have a refrigerator in one place and a freezer in a separate area or two sets of cooktops, one on the counter next to the wall oven and one on an island. You can even have two dishwashers if size and budget require and permit---think of it as saving time in the long run.
1. A well-designed kitchen should be modern, beautiful and practical at the same time.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
2. Being harmless to the environment is the top priority in kitchen design.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
3. Quality matters the most when you are choosing kitchen cabinets.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
4. More counter space, cooktops and sink are needed in today’s kitchens because food preparation is more complicated than it used to be.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
5. The design of the sink is indicative of a kitchen designer’s intelligence
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
6. Means of saving labor, appliances should be replaced whenever new models come out
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
7. It is the amount of time you can spend in the kitchen that decides how many appliances of the same kind you should buy
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

Read the following material and write a short essay of about 150 words under the title“Should Men Be Forced by Law to Do Half the Housework”
The Austrian parliament will shortly be considering a draft law designed to compensate women after a divorce if their former husbands never helped them with the housework.
Last week the German Green Party went even further, demanding a new law to make couples share the chores fiftyfifty if both partners were at work. The German paper Bild said a third of German women did all the housework on their own.
Academics here in Britain talked of reversing what they called the“Allerednic effect”—that’s “Cinderella” backwards—in which a prince marries a princess and turns her into a scullerymaid.
So is it time for men to clean up their act Or should the lawmakers leave it all well alone
Joining Laurence Zavriew for the Europewide debate are from Rome the Italian journalist Carlo di Blasio, and in the Netherlands Kerstin Schweighoefer, correspondent of the German newsmagazine focus.

Section Ⅳ
Part B
Should Men Be Forced by Law to Do Half the Housework
It is really ridiculous that the Australian parliament was to lay down a law to force human being to do the housework. I can’t reason out anything to explain that a government should meddle in the family life. In my opinion, nobody can divide equally the housework into two parts and tell what a man or a woman should do in a family.
Husband and Wife, enjoying the same right in a family, give their deep seated love to each other. On the one hand, Wife has no obligation to shoulder the heavy burden of all the housework. Neither does Husband. On the other hand, if they deal with the housework as the businessman does in a market, the family will come to its end. When one is at home, the other is still working outside, why doesn’t he or she prepare everything for him or her and give him or her a sense of having a family Why not comfort him or her if he or she comes back exhaustedly Why do you just force Husband to do half Why not the whole if he is free If he loves his wife, is it necessary to force himTherefore, it is not reasonable for any institution to interfere in a private life. It is not necessary to force Husband to do half of housework.
