Stockholm Post Headquarters is being used for some 1,600 employees. The huge, glass building is nearly 60,000 sq. meters. The Swedish architect firm BSK Architects won the project in an international competition with their proposal called “Think tank”, which has been characterized as ‘modernity, openness and effectiveness’. The spectacular 12-storey building, which is one of the largest in Sweden, brings all the functions of the organization together in a complex and impressive box-like glass building with a central hall from which everything emanates(散发，伸展). This central hall entry space is three-storey high. With so much glass (both inside and out), there is light everywhere, and one can actually glimpse the sky from the ground floor.
Flexibility and transparency were key words when it came to the interior design of Swedish Post’s new headquarters. It was vital to the organization’s employees that the work spaces could be used in a range of different ways by different people, depending on the space is being used for. The result: open-plan work spaces that can be used in a multitude of ways with spaces in between for coffee breaks, printers and copy machines. Along the outer wall of the building, there are ‘lobby’ areas which can be used for informal meetings, private telephone conversations, or for working alone when one wants peace and quiet.

四、短文翻译（本题满分30分）
将下面的英语文章翻译成汉语并写在相应答题处。
25（15分）. Many experts consider the Home Insurance Building in Chicago, Illinois to be the first skyscraper. Built in 1885 and later expanded, this tower was about fifty-five meters tall. Today this would not be considered much of a skyscraper. But at the time, this height was striking. The structure was built using a steel frame. This frame was load-bearing, meaning that the steel skeleton would support the building’s weight, not its walls. Before this technology, a taller building required creating thicker stone walls to support its weight. Thick walls are extremely heavy, and allow less room for windows and light.
26（15分）. The main Pyramid is basically a complex inter-linked steel structure covered in reflective glass. In fact it is an entrance doorway providing a long entrance portico to the main galleries of the Louvre. As one descends into the interior entrance foyer, the dramatic nature of the intervention becomes apparent. The main Pyramid, which certainly disturbs the balance of the old Louvre courtyard, is countered by two smaller pyramids, which provide further light and ventilation to the subterranean spaces. It is not so much the pyramid, but the entrance space that it covers that is the most important part of the project.

- 许多专家认为在伊利诺斯州芝加哥市的家庭保险大厦是第一个摩天大楼。建于1885年并在之后进行了扩建。这一大厦大约有55米高。今天这一高度的建筑物已经称不上摩天大楼。但在当时这是一个令人震惊的高度。这一建筑是使用钢框架建造。由钢框架承受荷载。这意味着是钢骨架而非墙支撑建筑的重量。在这一技术发明之前，较高的建筑需要建造更厚的石头墙来支撑自身重量。厚墙非常沉重，并且不利于开窗和透光。
- 主金字塔基本上是一个覆盖反光玻璃的复杂的相互连接的钢结构。事实上，它是通往卢浮宫主展厅的一个长的进入门廊的入口。当一个人向下走至内部的进入大厅时，进入博物馆的这种戏剧性的效果变得非常明显。这个主金字塔必然会打乱老卢浮宫广场的平衡，因此用另外两个更小的金字塔进行平衡。这两个小金字塔为下部的空间提供进一步的采光和通风。并不是这个金字塔，而是这个金字塔所覆盖的下部入口空间才是这个项目最为重要的部分。
