Alice spends her summer vacations walking back into history. Alice is 15 and she is a guide who shows visitors around the Fort(城堡) Delaware Museum in New York. “This year, I spun wool(纺毛线) on a spinning wheel. Last year, I was a candle maker. My first year, I cared for the garden and looked after the animals. All the jobs I've had at the fort have been really fun.”
Fort Delaware is a living history museum that shows how life was in frontier(边远地区) America in the mid 1700s. “Reading about history can't compare to experiencing it for yourself，” says Alice.
The experience begins as soon as visitors enter the fort. The smell of wood smoke fills the air. Women in petticoats (long skirts) and men in knee breeches (knee length shorts) are busy with their chores(杂务). The guides show visitors how the settlers(移民) would have carried out everyday work. “Kids are surprised when I tell them that one of their jobs would have been to make candles，” says another guide, 16 year old Jane. “They don't realise that kids back then had to work hard.” She also shows visitors how to play with toys and play games.
They are playing historical parts, so the guides can't wear shorts or T shirts when the weather is hot. But the clothes of the past can easily change modern kids into people from the 18th century. “The clothing felt strange at first, but it does make it easier to get into characters，” says Jane.
Working at the fort has helped Jane to thank her life even more. Alice agrees, “The fort has taught me how hard life was and how much work there was every day. We are so lucky with everything we have now. Life wasn't always this easy.”
(　　)1.Fort Delaware in New York is a________ museum.
A．living history B．toy C．candle D．clothing
(　　)2.Alice has been to the Fort Delaware Museum at least ________.
A．once B．twice C．three times D．four times

A．People couldn't make a fire.
B．Kids played with toys and played games all day long.
C．People could use a spinning wheel.
D．Kids didn't feed the animals.

World's history in one place
Is it possible to put millions of years of the world's history into one building The British Museum seems to think so.
“A History of the World in 100 Things”， an exhibition about rare and ancient things from the world, has made it a success.
The British Museum says it owns at least 8 million historical things. But why choose these 100 things to tell stories of our world's history
It all started with a challenge(挑战).
Neil MacGregor, who was once the director of the British Museum, was asked by BBC to choose 100 things from the museum's huge collection. The things had to include things from the beginning of human history about 2 million years ago to the present day.
MacGregor accepted, and took four years to choose each thing himself. In 2010, MacGregor appeared on BBC radio, giving a detailed(详细的) explanation of each thing. The show was a big hit and all these 100 things were shown in the British Museum. A book with photos of each thing soon followed.
“The things had to cover the whole world, from a cooking pot to a golden galleon, from a Stone Age tool to a credit card，” MacGregor wrote. The collection includes many important things from China. There is a banknote from the Ming Dynasty, showing China as the first country to use paper money.
But it's not just ancient things that are shown. Among them are some modern things like a solar powered lamp and even a throne made of weapons created by an African artist.
“Of course, the collection could only be ‘a' history of the world. But it is still a history that people in the present world need to know. ” MacGregor wrote.
( )1. “A History of the World in 100 Things” is a(n) ____.
A. TV programme about Africa
B. challenge of scientific research
C. book about modern development
D. exhibition of the world's history
( )2. When did MacGregor give a detailed explanation of each thing on BBC radio
A. In 2010. B. In 2009. C. In 2008. D. In 2007.
( )3. We can learn that the BBC programme by MacGregor was ____.
A. successful B. expensive
C. regular D. traditional
( )4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The things shown cover half of the world.
B. Neil MacGregor used to be a director of BBC.
C. China was the first country to use paper money.
D. The British Museum owns 2 million historical things.
( )5. How many years did MacGregor use to choose the 100 things
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
D
