Because most immigrants were poor when they arrived, they often lived on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where rents for the crowded apartment buildings, called tenements, were low.從 1850 年代到 1900 年代初，成千上萬的移民抵達美國並居住在紐約市。他們首先來自愛爾蘭和德國，後來來自意大利、東歐和中國等地。由於大多數移民到達時很窮，他們經常住在曼哈頓下東區，那裡擁擠的公寓樓的租金很低。The Lower East Side Tenement Museum is in a building that used to be a tenement and it tells the story of immigrants in the City. It was built in the 1860s and could house 20 families, four on each floor. Each apartment had only three rooms: a living or “front” room, a kitchen, and a tiny bedroom. Often seven or more people lived in each apartment. Not only was the tenement crowded, but also, until 1905, there were no bathrooms inside the building. Residents also did not have electric power until after 1918.下東城廉租公寓博物館位於一座曾經是公寓的建築中，它講述了該市移民的故事。它建於 1860 年代，可容納 20 個家庭，每層有 4 個家庭。每間公寓只有三個房間：客廳或“前”房間、廚房和小臥室。通常每間公寓住七個人或更多人。公寓不僅擁擠，而且直到 1905 年，大樓內都沒有浴室。居民也直到 1918 年之後才有電。Which is an accurate description of a tenement?哪個是對房屋的準確描述？(A) It’s an apartment building for poor people.這是一棟為窮人準備的公寓樓→從文章中可看出 tenement的租金低、空間擁擠，一開始連電都沒有(B) People living there are friendly to one another.生活在那裡的人們彼此友好(C) Great location makes a tenement an ideal place.優越的地理位置使公寓成為理想的地方(D) Old people do not like to live there.老人不喜歡住在那裡
