Punctuation, one is taught, has a point: to 10 law and order. Punctuation marks
are the road signs 11 along the highway of our communication-to control speeds,
provide directions and prevent 12 collisions. A period has the unblinking finality
of a red light; the comma is a flashing yellow light that asks us only to slow down; and the
semicolon is a stop sign that tells us to ease gradually to a halt, 13 gradually
starting up again.

The extraordinary success some Asian Americans are enjoying in a few areas has
created the misconception of an exemplary minority and has detracted from a need to
accurately assess the costs and sacrifices involved for those who manage to reach such a
high level of achievements.

what are really behind it.
The Asian Americans are proud of the achievements they have made in a few local
areas.
Some Asian Americans detracted themselves from the need to accurately appraise
the costs to reach high achievements.
People are led to believe that Asian’s minority status is created without sacrifices.
Of all Modernism’s tenets, few have been more “revered” than the assembly line. Its
crisp efficiency was a template for everything. The new BMW plant in Leipzig serves as an
antidote to just that sort of uniformity. A boomerang-shaped industrial shed with rows of
cars streaming on curving tracks, it is less a model of efficiency than a machine for
voyeuristic pleasure. Moreover, the plant is an attempt at social engineering. Its architect
subverts the sequential order of manufacturing by having each car loop back through the
central building, where workers can survey their work. Engineers and workers are in
constant contact, too, mingling in the corridors and the cafeteria, which breaks down the
hierarchy. Because each car is routed on its way from the body shop to the paint shop or
final assembly plant, you witness them in all their various stages. At certain points, the cars
stop and revolve on enormous turntables before heading off in a new direction. The
movements suggest mechanical ballet. Leipzig plant is thus the flagship of BMW that
provides customized services. Very subtly, the free flow of information replaces the
monotony of the assembly line; individual needs rule over bland repetition; and machines
are at the service of man.
What is the major setback of modernist architecture?
Its voyeuristic function
Its uniformity
Lack of communication
The social hierarchy

How is the new Leipzig assembly plant also an attempt at social engineering?
By introducing art into manufacture
By constantly focusing on the machines
By bringing down the barrier between workers and engineers
By breaking up the monotonous shape of factory buildings

Why is the factory shaped like a boomerang?
To imbue the factory with beauty
To absorb energy from Australian aborigines
To provide a solution to modernists’ dead end
To allow cars to come back to the main building
