The idea f using a public bathrm with see-thrugh walls may sund like a nightmare. But a famus Japanese architect is hping t change that view, using new technlgy t make restrms in Tky parks mre appealing.
“There are tw things we wrry abut when entering a public restrm, especially thse lcated at a park,” accrding t architect Shigeru Ban’s firm. “The first is cleanliness, and the secnd is whether anyne is inside.”
The newly-invented transparent walls can turn ff bth f thse wrries, Ban says, by shwing peple what waits fr them inside. After users enter the restrm and lck the dr, the rm’s walls turn a pwdery pastel (彩色蜡笔的，柔和的) shade — and are n lnger see-thrugh.
Ban’s transparent facilities are sure t make fr great cnversatin amng visitrs t the park — and they’ll stand ut even mre after dark. “At night, the facility lights up the park like a beautiful lantern,” the architect’s website says.
The grup is behind the Tky Tilet prject, enlisting (招募) wrld-famus architects t create tilets “like yu’ve never seen.” The prject’s eye-catching tilets are part f a plan t put peple at ease when visiting a public bathrm. The prject may seem silly, but the 16 architects wh are reimagining public tilets are sme f the brightest names in Japanese architecture. The list includes fur Pritzker Prize winners — Ban, Ty It, Tada And and Fumihik Maki — alng with internatinal stars such as Keng Kuma and Su Fujimt. The fashin designer Nig is als cntributing.

Yu’ve prbably experienced this befre: when returning frm a rund trip, the trip hme felt shrter. What is the scientific basis fr this?
Sme theries include the pwer f expectatin. Especially fr vacatins, the anticipatin f finally reaching yur destinatin can make the experience f traveling there feel lnger because yu can’t wait t get there. Additinally, if the trip t the lcatin takes lnger than expected, we may readjust ur expectatins f the length f the trip s that the trip back feels shrter and thus mre pleasant.
Anther thery is hw humans take time t learn and becme mre familiar with new sights. When faced with new stimuli r experiences, we feel as if time is getting slwer t allw mre brain prcessing time. This cntributes t why elder peple ften remark that time ges faster the mre they age because being lder ften means fewer new experiences, s there is less need fr the brain t interpret time mre slwly t pay mre attentin t slving a prblem.
In the case f the “return trip effect,” after viewing the landmarks n the rad while getting t the destinatin, it is easier t recgnize these pints n the way back. Having less sense f puzzle and being mre certain f ne’s surrundings can make time feel faster. This is similar t hw many activities can feel natural after learning the prcess. Fr example, when yu first learn t ride a bike, yu carefully strategize yur speed and balance, but after a while f practicing, yur mind is freer t wander ff.
This “return trip effect” is mst ntably nticed after reflecting n hw lng a trip t an unfamiliar lcatin tk. This explains why the “return trip effect” is usually assciated with vacatins and nt daily cmmutes t wrk r schl because by then, the sights are s familiar that humans can mre accurately measure the time spent ging t and back frm a lcatin.
12. Why d elder peple feel time flies?
A. They have fewer new stimuli t prcess.B. They have lw expectatins fr the future.
C. Their prblem-slving ability declines.D. Their brain tends t misinterpret time.
13. What des the example f learning t ride a bike in paragraph 4 prve?
A. Practice makes perfect.B. Familiarity speeds up time.
C. The jurney f life is full f uncertainties.D. Similar landmarks cause cnfusin with time.
14. Which trip may feel the lngest?
A. The trip t schl.B. The trip t a strange place.
C. The trip hme frm schl.D. The trip hme frm a strange place.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Hw can we make a lng trip relatively shrt?B. What is the scientific basis fr time travel?
C. Hw lng can the “return trip effect” last?D. Why des the “return trip effect” ccur?
