As we know, museums are buildings where many valuable and important objects are kept so many
people can go and see them. For example, art museums are places where people can learn about
d __1__ kinds of cultures. More and more popular "design museums" that are opening today, however,
perform quite a different role. Unlike most museums, the design museum shows objects that are e __2__
found in our daily life, such as fridges and washing machines.
The advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel f __3__ with the exhibits.
Being different from the art museum visitors, design museum visitors s __4__ feel frightened or puzzled.
This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-products (批量产品) work and
look as they do, and how design has i __5__ the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other
hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding
Several new design museums have opened their doors in recent years. Each of these museums has tried
to satisfy the public"s growing i __6__ in the field with new ideas. London"s Design Museum, for example,
shows a collection of mass-produced objects from electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The
choices open to design museum seem m __7__ less strict than those to art museum, and visitors may also
sense (感觉到) the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and
unusually attractive joys collected from our everyday life.

student behaves very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes. The student can"t come to school for one, two or three days. Mr Lazares, the headmaster of a middle school in Ohio, did not like to do so. When he didn"t let the students come to school, they were happy. "A three-day holiday!" They
thought
One day, a boy was in Mr Lazares"s office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr Lazares
telephoned the boy"s parents. "If you come to school with your son, I won"t stop him having classes, " he
said. The boy"s father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students looked at the
boy and his father. The boy was em ?barrassed (难为情). After that he behaved better. And, of course,
other students behaved better, too.

fruit every day, while many dislike fruit for the simple reason that their 1 tell
them to eat it.
That is the result of a recent survey 2 the Chinese Association for
Student Nutrition & Health Promotion(中国学生营养和健康促进协会), who
last month issued a questionnaire among 1,500 children in Beijing, Shanghai and
Guangzhou. They 3 28 percent didn"t eat fruit every day and of those who did,
one in seven did not eat enough.
Among students who didn"t eat fruit every day, 50 percent said it was
because they "didn"t have time" and 40 percent of those who didn"t like fruit said
it was because "my parents 4 me to".
"Fruit is a natural source of many nutritional elements(营养元素), can
balance a person"s nutritional intake and help to 5 overweight(超重)," says
Association director Du Yuxia.
He says about 20 percent of primary school students in Beijing and
Guangzhou are overweight, while the figure is 6 30 percent in Shanghai.
Hu Xiaoqi, a nutrition expert with the Chinese Center for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), believes a student should eat at least 150 grams of fruit a
day. Moreover, fruit juice is not an adequate substitute because the fruit 7
contains more fiber and vitamins than juices, which are usually high in sugar and
contain preservatives.
Hu says primary school students should be encouraged to eat one or two
fruits every day. 8 many students found they didn"t have time to eat fruit
before breakfast or in the evening, they should be encouraged to 9 to school
and eat it during class breaks . Finally, she suggests that parents encourage their
children to eat fruit, instead of forcing them.
Ma Guansheng, deputy 10 of the CDC"s Nutrition and Food Safety
Institution(营养和食品安全机构), says: "6-12 years old is a crucial time for
physical development. Children at this age need an adequate and balanced
nutritional supply to guarantee the normal growth of the body."

If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "moving stars". But
they"re not really stars. They"re man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space
Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people
can see it with their eyes.
The ISS is the biggest satellite (人造卫星) and scientists want to live on it. They think that the best way
to learn more about space is to live there.
When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with
many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The
ISS is the most expensive space program. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.
Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration (探测). "The ISS will
help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on
the earth better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.
Sixteen countries are part of the program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European
countries. China isn"t an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent
some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.

A. is really a big city in space
B. is the biggest man-made satellite

Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he
invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a
picture of his garden. That was the first photograph.
The next important date in the history of photograph was 1837. That year,
Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of
camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very
clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a
daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process. Travelers
brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed
famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. The photographers could take
pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The
photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment(设备). But this
did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States.
Mathew Brady was a well-known American photographer. He took many
pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very
life-like and full of personality. Brady was also the first person to take pictures of
war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and destroyed cities.
They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photograph. Photographers
could buy
films readymade in rolls(卷). So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process(冲洗) the film at once. They could
bring it back to their st
udios and develop it later. They did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small hand-held camera made
photography less expensive.
Photography is also a form of art. Some photographs were not just copies of
the real world. Th
ey showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.| Photography doesn’t only mean taking photographs; it is also a form of art. Photographs showed not only the real world, but also the ideas and feelings. | |

| The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size. Reading people"s character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person"s ears with color were dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today, too many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical. Ears are all different, and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size (中等尺寸), or small. Look at the lobes(耳垂). Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white color mean that a person has a nervous character. | |
