Design is the act of making something better. Everything, no matter how
ordinary, has been designed.

That some objects give us no special pleasure or are not fashionable does not alter
fact that somebody decided what they would look like, what they would do and how
they would be used.

Some objects look very good but do not work well. Take the Alessi kettle, with it’s
curved handle and two-tone whistle. It looks very exciting but the handle can get too hot
to touch. Compare this with the familiar Russell Hobbs automatic electric kettle. It has
been in production since the late 1950s, works perfectly and looks good.

Poor designs are easy to find. If you cannot see what is at the back of the kitchen
cupboard without getting down on your hands or knees, that is bad design. If you catch
your sleeve on a door handle, that is bad design. If you cannot understand how to use the
controls on your cooker without searching for the instruction book– and if, when you find
the book, you still cannot work the timing switch, that is unpardonably bad design.

The question is: how, when these kinds of faults are so obvious, have some
designs ever reached our homes?

The answer is that in most cases, bad designs emerge because not enough energy
and time is given to thinking through all the different questions that should be asked
about the product.

Kitchen cupboard makers will say that they are making cupboards as
economically as possible. This kind of “cheapness” is one of the main reasons for the
absence of good design in our homes. To make a cupboard where the shelves swing out
to display the contents when the door is opened is more expensive.

1. What does the passage say that good designers think about?

A. how thing will be used B. what people are used to

C. what is fashionable D. what will influence people
2. Things which are excellently designed

A. work perfectly B. last a long time

C. always get chosen by shoppers D. both work well and look good
3. What was wrong with the Alessi kettle?

A. It was too round. B. It was unreliable.

C. The design was impractical D. The design was old- fashion.
4. In what ways are some cookers badly designed?

A. The handle sticked out too far.
B. It is difficult to find the controls.

C. Using the timing switch is a confusing process.
D. The instruction books have no diagrams.

5. Why do badly designed things get made and sold?
A. They are quicker and cost less to make.

B. Manufacturers pay low wages to designers.

C. Designers do not know enough about manufacturing processes.
D. There are too few good designers.
