Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular "design museums" that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the centre of the hall.
People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales—it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.
One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved 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.
In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public's growing interest in the field with new ideas. London's Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.
1. Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they _____.
A. show more technologically advanced products
B. help increase the sales of products
C. show why the products have sold well
D. attract more people than store windows do
2. The author believes that most design museum visitors _____.
A. do not admire mass-produced products
B. are puzzled with technological exhibits
C. dislike exhibits in art museums
D. know the exhibits very well
3. The choices open to design museums _____.
A. are not as strict as those to art museums
B. are not aimed to interest the public
C. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors
D. often contain precious exhibits
4. The best title for this passage is "_____".
A. The forms of design museums B. The exhibits of design museums
C. The nature of design museums D. The choices open to design museums

Some of Vincent van Gogh's most famous works are his sunflower series. He painted a total of twelve of these canvases(油画), although the most commonly referred to are the seven he painted while in Arles in 1888 1889. He had painted the other five while in Paris in 1887.
While Vincent himself never actually stated why he liked the sunflowers in particular, references to them are made in his many letters, which help give us some ideas. In a letter to his sister dated 21 August 1888, he talked of his friend Gauguin coming to live with him in Arles. Then he went on to say that he would like to decorate the whole studio with nothing but sunflowers.
Vincent had quite an attachment to the flowers personally. In the year before his death he wrote to his brother, "It is a kind of painting that rather changes in character, and takes on a richness the longer you look at it… You know the peony (牡丹) is Jeannin's, the hollyhock(蜀葵) belongs to Quost, but the sunflower is somewhat my own." In many of his letters he spoke glowingly(热心地) of the richness of color that he saw in the sunflowers, and his desire to paint them quickly before they faded.
But whether Vincent painted the sunflowers because he was trying to please Gauguin, or because he really loved the sunflowers for themselves as they brought him joy in color, he certainly left us works of art to enjoy.
1._______ showed that Vincent liked the sunflowers best.
A. His many letters B.12 canvases C. The hollyhock D. The peony
2.The best title of this passage would probably be _________.
A. Vincent van Gogh's Famous Works B. Vincent van Gogh Really Loved Sunflowers
C. Vincent van Gogh Was Kind to His Friend D.Vincent van Gogh's Really Interesting Life
3.According to Vincent van Gogh's letters we can know that ________.
A. Gauguin was Vincent van Gogh's close friend
B. Vincent would like to live with Gauguin all the time
C. Vincent's studio was full of sunflowers every day
D. Gauguin was clearly interested in sunflowers
4.We can know from the third paragraph that ________.
A. some sunflowers belong to Vincent van Gogh
B. sunflowers are more beautiful than hollyhock
C. Vincent liked the color of the sunflowers best
D. Vincent liked painting all kinds of flowers
