There are many houses in the world,but in your opinion,how wide a house should be that it is possible to live in comfortably? Maybe you will say as large as possible. This is seriously wrong and you are out of reality.

But the building,which we’ll tell you now,looks strange. Though it is a three-story house,it will be the narrowest house in the world.

Yes!The house that a few years later will be built in Warsaw will be the narrowest house in the world because of its wide reach of all—60 inches. It is such a short distance between two neighboring houses,but on this piece of land a group of Polish architects (建筑师) are just going to build a new building.

Is it too small? No. In fact,the average (平均的) width of the body of an adult male is about half a meter. Moreover,in the narrowest building in the world on three floors you can find a living room,bedrooms,an office,a kitchen and a bathroom with a toilet. It is so narrow that the architects didn't even make the traditional stairway. The move from floor to floor depends on the vertical axis (竖轴) .

Learning to understand your mother well is what you should do. Here are the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising,but they have worked for many people. Try them.

Remember your mother's age.

As children,we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Knowing our mother's age,not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological (心理上的) and physicaK生理的) state,often helps us to understand her better.

Listen to your mother.

I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are pretty useful. If you respect her point of view,even if you do not share it,it will help your mother feel close to you.

Ask your mother about your childhood history.

If you are lucky enough to have living family,think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are,as part of afamilywhichyousharewithyourmother.

Taking any measure to understand our mother is the topic of how we understand ourselves. We should follow the way of her life. When we are able to accept our mother—with all her failings,we can understand her better and it can also help us to know about our shortcomings. Remember that understanding our mother is really about understanding ourselves.
