Museums That You and Children Will Enjoy◇Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art and Storytelling
Kids can create art and music, and experiment with other fun items. The story time held in the lab was fun and interactive as well. Museum admission is free, and we had the chance to check out the present exhibits and play in the studio lab. Check the website for other events because the kids love them.◇American Museum of Natural History
We have been to this museum a countless number of times since Curious G started walking because there are endless points of interest and hours of amusement available for kids and adults; but this summer we discovered the Discovery Room, and enjoyed the Unseen Oceans exhibit.◇MoMA
The Art Lab links art and nature in some way. The wall is lined with themed shelves filled with surprises and fun activity kits that you can take back to a table with you to complete. Curious John constructed a mobile during our last visit, and played with the toys on the shelves. We spent about two hours in the lab.◇Museum of Chinese in American
This museum, hidden far away on remote Centre Street, has exhibit on Chinese medicine. Both Curious John and I enjoyed it, but I did a fair share of explaining throughout the exhibit. My kids loved studying the Chinese Dragon head and costume hanging from the ceiling.

“Where can I find your disability section ” This was the question that baffled Waterstones staff when asked by Dr Hannah Barham Brown. It should have been a pretty straightforward answer. Hannah was looking for the part of the shop where non-fiction books about disability and by disabled authors were kept, but the question drew a blank.
This is because most bookshops don’t have a specific place for non-fiction disabled books. Where there are sections for non-fiction books on important sections of identity such as race, gender and social studies, disability has been forgotten about again.
Hannah took to social media to share her disappointment and it resonated(共鸣)with much of the disabled community. After being asked by one Waterstones staff member if she could fill a shelf, she sourced a long list that could take up a whole bookcase. And there is a huge number of them to choose from. There are also some incredible new and upcoming books by disabled voices. And hopefully, in the coming years, my own memoir book will also sit alongside them.
From my own experience, the book-writing world is a hard space to access as a disabled woman. We’re constantly told there isn’t a market for our books or cheated off by agents and publishers who say they already have something similar—when often the only similarity is that we’re disabled women. Not having our own section feeds these problems. The response I’ve had to this campaign shows that the demand for these books is there.
Growing up I would get swept up in stories of regular girls having adventures—but as someone treated with multiple conditions from the age of nine onwards, I very rarely saw myself in the pages I was pouring over. Growing up I never saw myself in books and it was one of the reasons I struggled to accept my disabilities. Hopefully disabled kids will grow up learning they’re fine just as they are.

Kesa Bhai Prajapati wears a smile as he models blocks of clay into vases on a potter’s wheel. These days, Prajapati, 68, from the village of Modhera in western India, has doubled the amount of earthenware(陶制品)he makes compared to a few months ago, because he no longer has to tum the wheel manually as he could not then afford high electricity bill. That could be up to 1,500 Indian rupees($ 18.19)a month.
Now, however, his machine moves on solar power as earlier this month Prajapati’s village of around 6,500 residents, consisting mainly of potters, farmers and shoemakers, was declared India’s first village to run entirely on solar energy all the time. “Electricity has helped us to save time and produce more products,” Prajapati said.
India is the world’s third-largest carbon dioxide emitter. It aims to meet half of its energy demands from renewable sources, such as solar and wind by 2030, which the government said in December 2023. The project in Modhera, financed by the federal and provincial government at nearly $10 million, involved setting up over 1,300 rooftop panels on residential and government buildings that were connected to a power plant. The government buys extra energy produced here from residents if they do not use all of the capacity given to the households.
With this money, Praveen Bhai, 43, a tailor, plans to buy a gas connection and stove, since many houses in the village cook food in wood-fired stoves that leave smoky air. “I had to teach the kids under the street lamp. Now they will be able to study inside the house.”
For Reena Ben, 36, a housewife, who also works as a tailor part time, the solar power has hugely aided her work. “When we got access to solar power, I bought an electric motor worth 2,000 rupees($ 24)to attach to the sewing machine. Now I am able to sew one or two more clothes daily.”
8.Why does the author mention Kesa Bhai
A.To advertise for his earthen works.
B.To present the hard life in Modhera.
C.To introduce local people’s traditional art.
D.To show changes brought by solar energy.
9.What is special about Modhera
A.The first to introduce green energy in India.
B.The first to use clean energy in handwork in India.
C.The first to depend totally on solar energy in India.
D.The first to adopt sustainable development in India.
10.What can be known about the solar energy project in Modhera
A.Great profits have been made.
B.Many other places will follow.
C.Funds come from big companies.
D.It may produce more energy than needed.
11.What is Reena Ben’s attitude to the solar energy promoted in Modhera
A.Critical. B.Supportive. C.Tolerant. D.Uncertain.
What if everything happens for a reason Burnt toast theory, a modern view on this classic idea, suggests that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason.
Imagine you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work. According to burnt toast theory, this tiny inconvenience can cause a domino effect(多米诺效应). Your morning gets delayed by three to five minutes—just enough time to leave the house later than usual and avoid a potential car accident. Or perhaps you catch a later train, missing an awkward encounter with someone you don’t intend to see. You might even meet someone new whom you wouldn’t have otherwise met, leading to a friendship or romantic connection.
When we feel like things are outside our control, that can be scary. The burnt toast theory can help some people let go of their need for control and take negative situations more positively.
However, while maintaining a positive mindset can be beneficial, over-optimism can lead to “poisonous positivity”. When we only allow ourselves to focus on positive thoughts, we are denying ourselves the chance to properly deal with challenges and difficult situations to better ourselves, focusing on creating a false positive facade(假象)instead. By constantly avoiding negative experiences, we might ignore their real impact on us and fail to acknowledge when we’re struggling. It can make us feel worse about ourselves, and may lead to pushing down negative feelings or experiences, and refusing to acknowledge or deal with them fully.
Instead of focusing purely on positive thinking, working towards developing a growth mindset may be more helpful. You don’t always have to look for life’s silver linings, or even the meaning behind a little burnt toast. Sometimes things happen, and they suck. But as long as we take time to acknowledge how these things make us feel, and recognize that we can’t always control everything around us, we can still work towards improving ourselves, and how we handle life’s unexpected challenges—and that’s what really matters.
12.What can be inferred from the burnt toast theory
A.Life is a process, not destination. B.Lost in the east, gained in the west.
C.Life is full of endless challenges. D.Lost time will never be found again.
13.Which can be an outcome from “poisonous positivity”
A.Loss of chances to grow. B.Failure to acknowledge others.
C.Inability to control emotions. D.Decline in physical health.
14.Which can be seen as a growth mindset mentioned in the last paragraph
A.Finding reasons for failure.
B.Avoiding pushing others too hard.
C.Accepting life and making it better.
D.Keeping a positive mindset and working hard.
15.Which is the best possible title for the text
A.Bum Toast Theory: Find a True Self
B.Bum Toast Theory: Lead a Positive Life
C.Burn Toast Theory: More than Positivity
D.Burn Toast Theory: How to Live Actively

Sarah had always dreamed of becoming a wildlife photographer. Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate.
One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape.
As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect.
But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine.

Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream.
