Tom is a worker in my factory and he is a little bit dirty. I have been taking 1 of him for years and years:
he always wears an old red hat and carries a 2 bag. He usually spends his break time and his lunchtime by
walking around to 3 the unused tins around.
Once I saw him by his 4 ,with a lot of rubbish bags, which were full of aluminum (铝) tins. He threw
them into the back of his car and then 5 the car. Being very curious, I got into my car to 6 him. He drove
7 he reached the entrance to a wide, empty parking area, but did nothing more.
Today, I was 8 one of the broken machines during lunchtime when this "tin man" came along with his
bag. As usual, he 9 the tins around the place. My 10 ,who was worried about how the 11 caused by
the machine would affect production, was standing there watching me.
When I finished my job, my manager asked the"tin man" about what he would 12 the tins that he had
collected. I had 13 even thought about asking this kind of question, 14 I had always thought that this "tin
man" would sell the 15 to the recycling place.
16 ,this "tin man" answered, "I will give them to my neighbor, 17 has epilepsy (癫痫症) and is unable
to work."I was 18 to hear this, and I asked him," you 19 you are collecting all those tins just to help your
neighbor?"
"I know it doesn"t help very much," he said," 20 try my best to help him."It was the most beautiful
moment in my life and made me feel very humble (卑微的).

| Rem Koolhaas founded the Office for Metropolitan Architecture ( OMA) in 1975 together with three other people. Koolhaas graduated from the Architectural Association in London. He worked as a joumalist before becoming an architect (建筑师). In 1978 he finished Delirious New York. In 1995,his book S,M,L,XL presented the work of OMA and established connections between modem society and architecture. Koolhaas is a professor at Harvard University, where he carries out the Project on the City, a research program examining the changing city conditions around the world. Recently,OMA has completed several famous buildings, among which the Seattle Library was chosen by TIME as The Best Architecture for 2004. In April,2005,the Casa da Musica concert hall in Porto was completed and was already voted as one of the most important concert halls in the world by The New York Times. The same year Koolhaas received the Mies van der Robe Award for the Netherlands Embassy,Berlin. OMA"s design was selected for its very unusual relationship established with its surroundings. In Asia,work finished on CCTV in 2008-a 575,000 m2 headquarters (总部), studio, and cultural center. CCTV is OMA"s largest building till now. In October,he was invited to help design the future European Union ( EU). Koolhaas is seen as one of the most important thinkers of the last ten years. Nicolai Ouroussoff, critic (评 论家) for Los Angeles Times, proves his importance by:"There is little question that Rem Koolhaas is one of the most influential architects of the last twenty years.
