　Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural (文化的) difference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological (心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very unusual in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.
　　 The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.
　　 Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure（壓力）. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.
　
【小題1】The first sentence in Paragraph 1 “Not everyone in the world requires the same amount          of space” means “______”.

Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage Site.
　　I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist(薄霧), Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history.
　　As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries(美術館) than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder.
　　As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub(酒館). It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.
　　Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value”. It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.
【小題1】Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by________

A．its charming banksB．its famous museums
C．its wonderful palacesD．its attractive buildings
【小題2】The third paragraph is developed mainly by______
A．providing different examplesB．following the order of space
C．making comparisonsD．a(chǎn)nalyzing causes
【小題3】What is the passage mainly about?
A．The universal value of the world heritage in Liverpool
B．The exciting experience of the author in Liverpool
C．The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool
D．The beautiful historic sites of Liverpool
