People will build ninety floating (漂浮的) homes in Dubai (迪拜). They are called Seahorse. It will cost $1,000,000 to build such a home, because they are very special. This new house will directly put you in the sea.

Each Floating Seahorse will have three floors---one underwater, one above the sea level, and an upper deck (甲板). On the first floor, you have a sitting room with big windows. You have dinner in the dining room on this floor. There is a big balcony outside. You can do yoga, do some reading, enjoy an open view of Dubai or anything you like here. You will have a good time on the first floor. On the second floor, the upper deck, there is a kitchen with a mini bar, an outdoor shower and a day bed. You will be very surprised about the glass-walled bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. They are completely under the water. You can see all the fishes swim around you. It’s like living in an aquarium (水族馆).

Why is the home called Seahorse? You know, the number of seahorses is becoming smaller and smaller. Each floating home will also have a man-made coral garden. It’s connected (连接) to the underwater level. An artificial coral reef (人工珊瑚礁) will be built around the area. It will be a good place for seahorses to live safety.

It is said that forty-two “Floating Seahorse” can be used by the end of the year 2006. 1__________ homes in Dubai
