As the best museum in New York City and with a balance of
hands-on (实际操作的) activities and information, it"s the rare bird
that can entertain and educate people of different ages. It"s a perfect
destination: for a family trip of a couple hours.
Pros-Excellent movie screenings. Easy subway access.
Cons-Difficult to reach by ear. |  | New York Hall of Science (NYHS) (Monday Closed)
Being New York City"s only hands-on science and technology
center, it is an interactive science museum focused on its audience of
children. It has the most hands-on exhibits in an NYC museum, and
it"s a fun destination for ages 5 and up. Older folks might take great
interest in the NASA rockets outside the museum, but don"t bother
unless you"ve kids to keep you company.
Pros-Cool interactive science exhibits, the rockets.
Cons-Hard to reach by public transportation. |  | Queens County Farm Museum (QCFM) (Year-round 7 days a week)
It is an actual farm in New York City and home to animals your
kids can feed and a yard full of a climbing plant whose fruit can be
made into wine. Good chance to meet sheep, goats, pigs, chickens
and cow! The animals are mostly readily accessible to visitors. And
the museum sells feed for young hands willing to get licked by sheep
and goats.
Pros-Outdoor fun.
Cons-Expensive Festivals, long bus ride, no subway. |  | Queens Museum of Art (QMA) (Monday and Tuesday Closed)
Opened in 1972 to serve as a cultural center for the borough (行
政区), it exhibits art by local and international artists. Its best
exhibits are on the two World"s Fairs, and of course, the Panorama
of New York City, a giant, highly detailed diorama (透景画) of all
five New York City boroughs.
Pros-The Panorama!, great gift shop. Easy subway access.
Cons-not much for kids. |  | | 阅读理解。 | King"s College Summer School

General Electric introduces the iron of tomorrow. The iron can clean itself inside where irons get dirty.
Because it cleans itself each and every time you empty it. How? With a push of a magic blue button.
The magic blue button
The first thing you"ll notice that"s different about this iron is the blue button on the side. It"s marked "Self
Clean". Push this blue button, and you can wash out loose mineral deposits(沉淀物) that remain and block up
inside. Push this button, and you"ve made life a lot easier.
Less chance of brown spots
Sure, Self Cleaning Iron is going to cut down on brown spots (Those ugly spots that happen on nice,
cleanly pressed clothes.) because a Self Cleaning Iron becomes clean each time you press that magic blue
button.
Steams better longer
Common sense tells you that if you"ve got an iron that blocks less often it has to stay younger for a long
period of time. In other words, it steams better longer. That"s another joy of owning General Electric"s Self
Cleaning Iron.
What does it mean to you
Today you are doing so much more than just running a house and running after the kids. You"re working. You"re going to school. It"s all part of you to be a better wife, a hotter mother, a better housemaker, we want
to. The new Self Cleaning Iron is another one of Home-Makers from General Electric.
Lifestlye.
We"re with yours.
