They can be damp and cold.But with a growing number of men seeing the shed as a home from home，research claims the solitude(独处) it provides at the bottom of the garden could actually be good for their health.
A study published in the British Medical Journal suggests that the peaceful retreat(退隐) may help lower blood pressure.Its author，Professor Alan White of Leeds Metropolitan University，claims the hours spent pottering(闲逛) about in sheds doing odd jobs also have a positive effect on men's self­esteem.“Men find doing things relaxing and that in itself is good for their health，” he said.“There's a sense of achievement that men get from starting a task to seeing it completed.Men know what a shed means and they feel comfortable.”
Such has been the growth in its popularity that communal(共享的) sheds are being set up to enable men to share their love of pottering and DIY.The “Men's Sheds”initiative has its roots in Australia.But 20 communal sheds have already sprung up in the UK from the Lake District to Greenwich.Peter Baker，chief executive of the Men's Health Forum，a charity involved in the scheme，said,“They've caught men's imagination.Men like to potter.”
There are approximately 11.5 million domestic sheds in Britain—a higher concentration than anywhere else in the world—and 1.5 million are sold every year.Furthermore，Britons spend more than 60 million hours a week in them.
Originating from the Anglo­Saxon word“scead”，meaning shade，the peaceful retreat remains a place for the lawnmower and potting bench but has also been transformed into a games room and even a mini pub.

【长难句解读】
原文　Such has been the growth in its popularity that communal(共享的)sheds are being set up to enable men to share their love of pottering and DIY.
译文　庭院贮存室如此受欢迎，以至于人们搭建起公用的贮存室，让男人在里面共享他们对闲逛的爱好和自己动手的乐趣。
分析　本句是一个复合句，接受了倒装形式。such...that...句式，假如把such置于句首，就要用倒装语序。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Taxi, the underground, driving…in London these means of transport are expensive. As a student on a budget, I couldn't afford the 30 pounds (around 300 yuan) fare for a taxi. Even a bus was one pound and 20 pence (about 12 yuan) for a single ticket. I didn't need to travel this way anyway. I had Mabel-- my London bike.
When I moved to Beijing, like every foreigner, I was delighted to discover I could take a cab for cheaper than a single journey on the subway. But something was wrong. I missed Mabel. That was when I met Mandarin Mabel also known as Mandy, my Beijing bike.
In many ways, Beijing is made for: It is a flat, easy land compared with hilly London. The cycling city's north/south/east/west square structure is also easier to travel than London's unplanned, twisting streets.
However, Beijing comes completely with its own dangers. The rules of the road are
flexible. Bikes, cars, passers-by all float up and down ways in both directions.
Compared with London's terrible cycle paths, in Beijing, every road has huge, wide cycle ways. But cars, taxis and motorbikes see no reason why they shouldn't use the cycle ways as a shortcut, and why they shouldn't announce you to get out of their way when they do.
Beijing traffic is more good-natured. In London, the road is an active war. People shout, quarrel and beat on each other's windows. In Beijing zone, drivers never get actively angry. In fact, often they ignore cyclists. Obviously that means it's up to the cyclists to see them.
Mandy is a tree Beijing bike. It is nearly broken, it makes loud noises every time you ride on it, and I have had to make several emergency repair stops for it.
But cycling round Beijing on a sunny day is a joy. It is just me, Mandy and the city.
