These hallowed halls now house more than 300 years’ worth of collections, with over 68 million specimens. Broadly divided into Life and Earth galleries.

Its collection was bequeathed to the nation in 1753 and the Museum’s distinctive Greek revivalist structure was built during the 19th Century.

阅读下面的短文, 然后按照要求写一篇 150 词左右的英语短文。
June 27, 2000, is the 120th anniversary of the birth of Helen Keller, and each year the week in which her birthday falls is recognized as Deaf—Blind Awareness Week. In honor of Helen Keller —and other members of the deaf- blind community, this week is dedicated to the deaf- blind. Every year the last week of June is devoted to one thing—recognition of the deaf- blind people in our midst.
While the purpose of Deaf- Blind Awareness Week is to pay homage to Helen Keller, the deaf- blind woman who was born that week, the week focuses on increasing public awareness and understanding of deaf- blindness. According to the Helen Keller National Center (HKNC), about 70,000 people have hearing and vision loss. More than a decade ago, Deaf- Blind Awareness
Week became an event officially recognized by the Federal government.
The story of Helen Keller is well known. Born on June 27, 1880, the healthy infant was developing normally. But at the age of 19 months, an illness left her deaf and blind. When Helen was six, her equally famous teacher, Anne Sullivan, was able to teach her to communicate. Helen Keller went on to excel in all aspects of her life: graduating from college with honors and writing, lecturing, and inspiring people worldwide.

阅读下面的短文, 然后按照要求写一篇 150 词左右的英语短文。
Every morning, when I drive past the street corner, I can always see the big sign standing outside the gas station.
The sign lists the price of gas per gallon (加仑). However, in the past few months, the price never seemed to decrease. One day, it went from US$2.85 to US$3.55 per gallon.
The car is one of the most popular forms of transportation in southern California; people even say, “We can not live without cars!” “We don’t get any benefit from the increasing prices at all,” complains my friend Raymond. “I might choose to ride my bicycle from now on! I will leave the car at home; maybe I should give it away to the museum since we are not going to use it anyway.”
According to scientific predictions, we will run out of gasoline in 50 years. People will not be able to drive cars, take planes or even sail ships. When the time comes, hardly anything will fun_ction normally.
In this case, governments will have to provide funds (基金) to research departments to develop new forms of energy on which cars can run. One idea, for example, is that people in California will be able to drive solar- powered cars since it is extremely sunny most of the time.
In other states, there are people developing new forms of fuel involving alcohol mixed with gasoline or new hybrids (混合物) like gasoline plus corn oil. Who knows what forms of new energy people will be using in the future? Without problems showing up, there will be no new solutions. Society needs to move forward. Sometimes, we need these challenges to motivate (激发) us to achieve great things.

(1) 参考范文 (One possible version)
Deaf- Blind Awareness Week is to pay homage to Helen Keller to increase public awareness and understanding of deaf- blindness. Helen Keller was deaf and blind but was able to graduate from college with honors and writing, lecturing, and inspiring people worldwide.
As is known, disabled people have to overcome much more difficulties than non- disabled people. Zhang Haidi who has been unable to walk since she was five, never went to school, but has studied politics, literature, medical science and several foreign languages. She also talks to other disabled in the Internet, giving them encouragement to succeed in their own lives.
Nowadays more and more people are concerned about the disabled by encouraging them to strive for success, helping them with their study and work, and so on. But many disabled people are still looked down upon, who can’t get jobs just owing to their disabilities.
Let’s accept the disabled as they are and give them encouragement to live as rich and full a life as we do!
(2) 参考范文 (One possible version)
The price of gas never decreases. On the contrary, it goes up, which has influenced seriously people’s normal lives. They have to change their ways of going out and dare not use their cars as usual. In 50 years, gas will be run out of. In this case, governments will have to develop new forms of fuel on which cars can run.
For my classmates, most of their families have cars. Some students think the high price of gas is good because the price on gas is so high that people have to save gas. In this case, it is possible to save energy and reduce the pollution from the cars. However, the others have different idea. They consider it a bad thing. They think the high price of gas will increase the costs of using cars.
In my opinion, the most important thing is that we can produce efficient cars and provide the public the convenient bus. If it is easy for us to find a bus to take, why do we drive a car still? My family worries that the high price of gas will slow down the growth of economy.
