Golden Rules of Good Design

What makes good design？Over the years，designers and artists have been trying to （41） 　the essentials of good design．They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design．There are four as follows．

Less is more．This saying is associated with the German﹣born architect Mies van der Rohe．In his Modernist view，beauty lies in simplicity and elegance，and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means．Design should avoid unnecessary （42） 　 　

More is not a bore．The American﹣born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly，the result is （43） 　 　design．Post﹣Modernist designers began to （44） 　 　with decoration and color again．Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen （45） 　 　such as ovens and kettles．

Fitness for purpose．Successful product design takes into consideration a product's function，purpose，shape，form，color，and so on．The most important result for the user is that the product does what is （46） 　 　．For example，think of a（n） （47） 　 　desk lamp．It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user．It also needs to be stable．Most importantly，it needs to （48） 　 　light where it is needed．

From follows emotion．This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger．He believes design must take into（49） 　 　the sensory side of our nature﹣sight，smell，touch and taste．These are as important as rational（理性的） thinking．When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste，we appreciate a cool﹣looking device that allows us to easily（50） 　 the toothpaste onto our brush．

When I was13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.That meant 21 Miller King,who was the best 22 at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out.I carried my football everywhere for    2 3 .

Just before September,Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm.I went to see him after he came back from 24 .He looked very    25 ,but he didn ^'t cry.

That season,I 26 all of Miller`srecords while he 27the home games from the bench.We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, 28 I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller's 29 .

One afternoon,I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller 30 going over a fence-which wasn't 31 to climb if you had both arms.I'm sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept 32 from.But even that cha l lenge he accepted.I 33 him move slowly over the fence.When we were finally 34 on the other side,he said to me, ＂ You know,I didn't tell you this during the season,but you did 35 .Thank you for filling in for 36 . ＂

His words freed me from my bad 37.I thought to myself,how even without an arm he was more of a leader.Damaged but not defeated,he was 38ahead of me. I was right to have 39him.From that day on，I grew 40and a little more real.

Wang，who is often in__33＿ situations， is also a judo （柔道） master． "As long as I get close enough, no criminal can __ 34__ from me," he said.

At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds. I had a very poor relationship with food: I used it to

Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl form Manitoba,Canada.One day, when she was five years old,she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg.They saw a man 36     out of a garbage can.She asked her mother why he did that and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry.Hannah was very    37   .She couldn't understand why some people had to live their without shelter or enough food.Hannah started to think about how she could 38    ,but,of course,there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve(解决)the problem of homelessness.       

Later ,when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman,    39 an old shopping trolley（购物车）which was piled with    40 . It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more 41 to do something.She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people 42 they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her that if she did something to change the problem that made her sad, she wouldn't 43 as Z bad.

Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces.She hoped to 44her message of hope and awareness.She started the Ladybug Foudation ,an organization aiming at getting rid of bomekssacss. She began to 4 5"Big Bosses" lunches, where she would try to persuade local business Leaders to 46to the cause.She also organized a fundraising(募捐)drive in "Ladybug Jars" to collect everyone`s spare change during "Make Change" month. More recently, the foundation began another 47called National Red Scarf Day-a day when people donate ＄20 and wear red scarves in support of Canada`s 48 and homeless.

There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called "Hannah`s Place",something that Hannah is very 49of. Hannah`s Place is divided into several areas,providing shelter for people when it is so cold that 50outdoors can mean death.In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities,she hasreceived a lot of 51 .

For example, she received the 2007 BRICK Award recognizing the 52   of young people to change the world. But 53    all this, Hannah still has the 54    life of a Winnipeg schoolgirl, except that she pays regular visits to homeless people.

Hannah is one of many examples of young people who are making a 55   in the world.You can,too!

Recently，I took a trip home by train．I got a seat opposite a middle-aged man with sharp eyes，who kept 1 a young woman in a window seat with a little boy on her lap．The woman's eye fell on the man's face，and she immediately looked down and 2 her scarf．

As the night wore on，people began to close their eyes，but the seats were so uncomfortable that only a very heavy sleeper could manage to get any 3 ．The woman looked over at the man．He was still staring at her．She looked back at him with fire in her eyes．I was beginning to get 4 ，too．

The train moved on．The little boy was 5 awake on his mother's lap，but the woman dropped off to sleep．A moment later，he began to 6 the half-open window-one leg went over it．The man jumped up and 7 the child just before he fell out．

The 8 woke up the woman．She seemed to be in 9，and then reality dawned （显现）．"Your child has been looking for an opportunity to climb out of the window，"the man said as he gave the child back to her. ．"So I have been watching the whole time．"The woman was 10 ，and so was I．

It's about 250 miles from the hills of west-central Iowa to Ehlers' home in Minnesota. During the long trip home, following a weekend of hunting, Ehlers         1       about the small dog he had seen         2       alongside the road. He had         3       to coax（哄）the dog to him but, frightened, it had         4       .

Back home, Ehlers was troubled by that         5       dog. So, four days later, he called his friend Greg, and the two drove         6       . After a long and careful         7       . Greg saw, across a field, the dog moving         8       away. Ehlers eventually succeeded in coaxing the animal to him. Nervousness and fear were replaced with         9       . It just started licking（舔）Ehlers' face.

A local farmer told them the dog sounded like one         10       as lost in the local paper. The ad had a         11       number for a town in southern Michigan. Ehlers         12       the number of Jeff and Lisa to tell them he had         13       their dog.

Jeff had         14       in Iowa before Thanksgiving with his dog, Rosie, but the gun shots had scared the dog off. Jeff searched         15       for Rosie in the next four days.

Ehlers returned to Minnesotan, and then drove 100 miles to Minneapolis to put Rosie on a flight to Michigan. "It's good to know there's still someone out there who         16       enough to go to that kind of         17       ," says Lisa of Ehlers' rescue         18       .

I figured whoever lost the dog was probably just as         19       to it as I am to my dogs," says Ehlers. "If it had been my dog, I'd hope that somebody would be         20       to go that extra mile."

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.

Cathy suffered some terrible 16 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 17 became healthy.

Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head-to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 out local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19it. The team practice, 20was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23to go! I told her she shouldn't swim after a whole night's coughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go .

From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn't 25 a single practice. She had a 26intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn't a 29 ---ever. But that didn't stop her from trying.

Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn't expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , "The highest honor goes to Cathy!" Looking around, he continued, "Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart."

It was the greatest 34 of my daughter's life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).
