Yamasaki sometimes dreamed about his work. Once he woke up at three o’clock in the morning. He remembered a building that was in his dream. He got up and started to draw.   

Yamasaki was different from other architects. His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness. Many of his designs have pools of water, flowers, and windows on the roof to let in light. He wanted to give them a place away from the busy ways of modern life.

Yamasaki worked for several companies. But his success began when he started his own company. In 1956, he won the Architect’s First Honor Award for his design of an airport in St. Louis, Missouri. He won two more awards over the next five years. In 1962, he designed the World Trade Center in New York. In 1993, a bomb exploded (炸彈爆炸) in it. But the buildings did not fall down because they had a good design.

Yamasaki had strong opinions about his buildings. They had to be built his way. He refused to change the design of his buildings, even if he lost a job.

Minoru Yamasaki died on Jun,2 1986. He designed more than 300 buildings. People will enjoy the design and beauty of his buildings for a very long time.

 根據Every summer he worked in a fish factory to help pay for college可知，本空應填pay“支付”。

 根據He slept in a room with 100 other men. “他和其他100人睡在一間房中。”本題只有一個空，故不能填slept in；應該填shared“分享”。

 根據His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness可知，他的建筑給人一種和平和快樂的感覺。根據happy可知，本空應該填peace的形容詞peaceful。

 根據Yamasaki had strong opinions about his buildings.可知，雅馬薩奇對自己的建筑有強烈的觀點。故填strong。

 根據Yamasaki was different from other architects可知，雅馬薩奇和其他建筑師是不同的，故填same。

 根據But his success began when he started his own company.可知，直到開設了自己的公司，他的成功才開始。”“直到……才”用not ……until。故填until。
