This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing. It was my son's birthday so we booked a non-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p. m.. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p. m., we were given a table in the smoking section. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic. When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away.We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife's meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that you were on holiday. I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn't believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was forced to pay.The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund （退款）for our meal. It cost $68.

A team of architects in Hong Kong say that city homes will be tiny, as populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive.They have designed “spaceflats” with just 30 square metres in size as the houses in the fol lowing years. These flats have several small rooms: a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, but everything is carefully planned to make good use of the limited space.The living room is the main room of the flat. It can be used as an office, a kitchen or even a second bedroom. There is a sofa that can be changed into a bed. The dining table can be changed into a computer desk. And, if not needed, both the sofa-bed and the table can be folded and put away. There is a flat-screen TV, which can also serve as a computer monitor. In one corner of the room, a small cooker, a microwave oven and a mini-refrigerator are hidden out of sight. The other rooms are small but practical. The bathroom contains a toilet and a shower. The double bed in the bedroom can also be transformed into a sofa, if required.“Spaceflats” are wonderful and they are now being tested in a building in Hong Kong. It is believed that “Spaceflats” will be improved to be our future homes.41．What will be the title for the passage?________________________________________________________________________________42．How many rooms does a “spaceflat” have?提示信息：be active in English classtake part in many activities about English learningjoin the English summer campstay in touch with an American pen palPersonal Information一．选词填空（共9小题；每小题2分，满分18分）请用方框中词语的适当形式完成下列句子，每词只用一次。
