V. Reading Comprehension (20 % ) 
(A)Hundreds of years after William Shakespeare wrote about King Lear’s dementia, there’s still no perfect way to care for patients with this disorder. However, a radical new idea, self-contained villages where people with dementia live，could be the answer. Properly attending to people who suffer from dementia is a challenging and increasingly expensive task，and it is only going to get harder. Basically, under no circumstances are we prepared for the future that awaits us in terms of taking care of these patients. Enter De Hogeweyk，a dementia-focused living center in the small town of Weesp，the Netherlands. Hogeweyk is essentially a walled village，complete with apartment buildings, shops， restaurants, gardens, roads, and more. The creators of Hogeweyk，caretaker Yvonne van Amerongen and architecture firm Molenaar & VanDillen, say the idea was to design a world that has as much of a resemblance to normal life as possible, without endangering the patients. For example, dementia patients often have random urges to roam around. In most dementia care centers, this is combated with secure lockdowns. At Hogeweyk, however, the boundary of the village is actually the walls of buildings, so patients can ramble in the village without running the risk of wandering away.  Apart from keeping the patients safe，Hogeweyk also keeps them comfortable. People who suffer from dementia have trouble with unfamiliar spaces，so apartments at Hogweyk come in different styles, designed to be as familiar as possible to the patients. The patients also help with jobs like cooking and cleaning，and they can shop，get their hair done and see a movie，all of which gives them a routine and a sense of security.  Hogweyk has been a massive success for its humane treatment of dementia patients. Other care-giving companies all over the world are going to follow its example as well.
31 .What is the main reason for building Hogweyk?
(A) Because it will be easier to control and reorganize these dementia patients.
(B) Because hospitals in villages are unable to deal with the dementia patients.
(C) Because people with dementia have the right to ask for a place to live safely.
(D) Because dementia patients can live in a comfortable and safe place as we do
