When people visited the Forbidden City in the 1920s, most palaces were closed at that time. But a century later, the 599-year-old palace has become the world's busiest museum.
Open to the public
In the old days,the public could only imagine what it looked like inside.When the Palace Museum was built in 1925, people could go into the palaces.Now 80%of the total area of the museum is open to visitors and the number is going to increase to 85% in 2025.
Attracting the youth*
On the Palace Museum's online store on Tmall,you can find more than 10,000 cultural products.
Some top sellers also go offline.For example,the “Kangxi Emperor's Favourite Chocolate”, the most popular drink,always has people lining up.
Xu Jing often rides a bike in front of the Meridian Gate. “I had little memory of the museum
then, but now I am more willing to visit it after several popular TV shows about the museum have
been on,”she said.
Hugging the world
“It felt like you were hit by hundreds of years of history,”Christopher Allen from Britain said.
“I begin to love its history and culture.”
The Forbidden City is becoming more open and friendly to visitors.It attracted about 3500000 visitors from abroad and overseas*exhibitions were held in 2018.

It's not news that there can be many problems of latchkey living.
Researchers find that 51%of “latchkey kids” are doing poorly in school. Meanwhile,the study by the Carnegie Council on teenager development shows that children going home alone after school for 11 hours or more each week are twice as likely to use drugs and alcohol*.
Are there any positives of latchkey living?Yes,says Renee Peterson Trudeau, an internationally recognized life balance coach. “Some of the most successful people were latchkey kids growing up,”she says.“Young people who are allowed more freedom to be on their own often become more independent.”
Are you a parent of"latchkey kids”? Here are some tips for you to make your children's home-alone life a safe, growing opportunity.
? Keep in touch. Always make sure your child can reach you. For example, have your child
call you when he gets home from school,and then call him as you're leaving work.
? Keep busy. It's not a bad idea to have your kids feed the pet or water the flowers before
you get home. Chores teach them responsibility.
? Keep an eye. If you have a neighbor,kindly ask her if she could pay attention from time to
time. This makes you know whether your child is telling the truth..
? Keep communication. Take the time to keep up with how your kid's afternoons are going.
Make sure he is clear of your time-alone rules for him, especially around screen time and
homework.
“If you follow the suggestions above, you shouldn't feel regretful for being a working parent.”
Renee says. “They are more confident around problem solving.”
49. “Latchkey kids”are those who________
A. do badly in exams at school.
B. stay at home without parents

How the Grand Canyon was created remains one of the geology's greatest mysteries*. Some geologists believed that the process was a gradual one:the Colorado River which goes through the canyon slowly cut deeper and deeper into the ground over millions of years. But some rocks of the volcanoes, which have been discovered in the canyon recently, suggest that the canyon was down-cut instead.
Down-cutting is when a flood* of water rushes over a place with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon. Such a flood is usually released* when a natural or
man-made dam breaks.
Robert Webb, a research geologist, says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years. The dams were built when lava* from the nearby volcanoes flowed into the river. The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked* the river, causing it to back up and form a lake. Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam, releasing a flash flood that furthered the down-cutting process and deepened the canyon.
Down-cutting is not only an earthly event. Satellite photos sent back from Mars suggest that the process has happened there, too, say many other scientists. The photos, taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The lake spilled into a large nearby hole. One edge of the hole broke, releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a huge canyon. The finding of down-cutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the formation of the Grand Canyon was not a gradual course.
53. In the past,the Grand Canyon was believed to be made by________.
A. a river running slowly over years
B. a volcano breaking suddenly
C. the rock rising from the earth
D. the ground moving gradually
54. Which picture shows the down-cutting of the canyon?

55. The photos of Mars are mentioned in the last paragraph to________.

B. give an example
C. show new ideas
D. compare with others.
56. The best title for this passage is________.
A. The Grand Canyon-A Wonder With Huge Lakes
B. The Grand Canyon-A Wonder With Breaking Dams
C. The Grand Canyon-Results of River Going
D. The Grand Canyon-Results of Flood Cutting

D
My grandmother had an apple tree. She said it was two hundred years old. Its trunk was fat and lumpy*. Its branches were twisted and low.You might say that old tree was ugly. But my grandmother proudly showed her apple tree to everyone. “See that?”she'd say. “Johnny Appleseed planted that nice tree. My great grandmother saw him plant it.”
Grandmother's great grandmother was just a little Indian* girl back then. One day, she recognized Johnny when he walked out of the woods. Everyone in America had heard of Johnny Appleseed.
He was a thin man with dirty hair and a big smile.His shirt was made from an old brown sack*. He didn't usually wear any shoes. Most of the time, he carried his cooking pot*on his head to keep his hands free to work.
That day, Johnny gave a tree to my great-great-great-grandmother. He helped her plant the tree. She insisted that Johnny stay for dinner. After the meal, Johnny told the family the story of his adventures.
Johnny's real name was John Carpenter. He was born in Massachusetts in 1774. As a boy, John took a job working in an apple orchard*. John learned how to grow apple trees from tiny dark seeds.
John longed for adventures. The pioneers were traveling west to settle new parts of the country at that time. They wanted good apples for food. When John heard this, he left Massachusetts when he was eighteen. There were no roads and few maps. John carried a leather sack full of apple seeds. Every day he moved west, he planted apple orchards.
A few years after planting, John returned to each orchard. He carefully dug up his young trees and sold them to pioneers. The pioneers were happy to have Johnny's trees. John often stayed to help the pioneers build their cabins. The pioneers liked John. They gave him the nickname Johnny
Appleseed.
One autumn day, Johnny heard the cry of an animal. Behind the apple tree he found a deer. It didn't run away. Johnny stayed with the deer for many days and helped it. During a snow storm in
Pennsylvania, Johnny hid in a cave with a bear. The bear didn't hurt him.Johnny and the bear slept through the storm, cozy and warm.
During his life, Johnny Appleseed walked thousands of miles and planted thousands of apple
trees. Americans from Massachusetts all the way to California boasted that Johnny Appleseed had
planted their apple orchards.
Now when I look at my grandmother's old apple tree, I know that my grandmother is right. It
is a beautiful old tree!
56. We can infer from the third paragraph that Johnny was________.
A. a strange man living a rich life.
B. a simple man living a busy life.
C. a sick man living a difficult life.
D. a funny man living an exciting life.
58.The writer mentioned the animals to show that________.
A. Johnny took care of animals.
B. Johnny was good at teaching animals.
C. Johnny was not afraid of any animals.
D. Johnny got on well with animals.
59.We can learn from the passage that________.
A. My grandma's great grandma was a friend of Johnny.
B. Johnny was brave to plant apples alone all through America.
C. The western part of America was a wild land at that time.
D. Pioneers had little food and they bought apples from Johnny.
