The
British
museum
is
one
of
the
biggest
museum
in
the
world.
It
is
the
oldest
museum
in
Europe.
It
was
opened
in
1759.
Sir
Hans
Sloan
who
lived
in
London
at
that
time
was
a
great
collector.
He
collected
everything:
clothes,
books,
pictures,
stones
and
ancient
things.
But
he
died
in
1753
and
the
King
bought
his
collection
for
￡20,000.
That
was
the
beginning
of
the
British
museum.
It
is
in
Great
Russell
Square
of
London.
There
are
more
than
thirteen
million
objects
at
the
British
Museum
nowadays.
You
can
visit
the
great
Reading
Room
which
is
round
in
shape.
The
Reading
Room
is
in
the
center
of
the
museum.
Many
famous
scientists
and
writers
worked
here.
Among
them
are
Oscar
Wilde,
Bernard
Shaw,
Mark
Twain,
Charles
Darwin
and
many
others.
Nowadays,
there
are
many
wonderful
collections
in
the
British
museum,
from
ancient
Egyptian
mummies
to
Greek
and
Roman
art.
Walking
through
the
halls
and
rooms
of
the
museum
you
can
study
two
million
years
of
world
history
and
culture.
If
you
are
lucky
to
be
a
visitor,
you
should
see
The
Lewis
Chessmen.
It
is
a
large
group
of
chess
pieces
carved
from
whale
teeth
in
the
12th
century.
See
the
chess
set
in
Room
40,
on
the
Upper
floor.
It
also
advise
you
to
visit
Room
4
on
the
Ground
Floor.
Here
you
can
see
the
huge
head
of
an
Egyptian
pharaoh.
In
Room
24
on
the
Ground
Floor
you
can
see
The
Easter
Island
Statue,
which
was
probably
made
in
1200.
Every
year
more
than
6
million
visitors
come
to
the
museum.
The
entrance
is
free,

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
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.
The
guides
show
visitors
how
the
settlers
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
realize
that
kids
back
then
had
to
work
hard.”
She
also
shows
visitors
how
to
play
with
toys
and
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
appreciate
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.”

“What’s
the
name
of
the
supermarket?
I
can’t
remember
right
now.”
Have
you
ever
heard
your
grandparents
ask
questions
like
this
sometimes?
Usually,
we
think
that
older
people’s
memory
becomes
bad
because
their
brains
get
weak.
But
now
a
team
of
scientists
at
the
University
of
Tubingen
in
Germany
has
a
new
idea.
“The
human
brain
works
slower
in
old
age,”
says
Michael
Ramscar,
the
team’s
lead
scientist,
“only
because
it
has
stored
more
information
over
time.”
The
findings
are
based
on
a
series
of
computer
tests
related
to
learning
and
memory.
Scientists
had
the
computers
read
a
certain
amount
of
words
and
learn
new
things
each
day.
When
the
computer
“read”
a
small
amount
of
data（数据），its
performance
on
cognitive（认知）tests
was
similar
to
that
of
a
young
adult
.
But
if
the
computer
took
in
larger
amounts
of
data,
its
performance
was
similar
to
that
of
an
older
adult.
Often
it
was
slower,
but
not
because
its
processing
ability
had
dropped.
Rather,
increased
“experience”
had
caused
the
computer’s
database
to
grow,
giving
it
more
data
to
process-which
takes
more
time.
This
is
similar
to
how
old
people
process
information.
Imagine
that
one
person
knows
just
two
people’s
birthdays
and
can
get
them
right
each
time
he
or
she
is
asked.
Another
person
knows
the
birthdays
of
2,000
people
,
but
can
only
match
the
right
person
to
the
right
birthday
9
times
out
of
10.
Can
you
say
the
first
person
has
a
better
memory
than
the
second
person?
“The
larger
the
library
you
have
in
your
head
,
the
longer
it
usually
takes
to
find
a
particular
word,”
Benedict
Carey,
a
science
reporter
for
The
New
York
Times,
wrote
in
an
article
about
the
study.
(

Why
is
the
poor
memory
of
elderly
people
mentioned
at
the
beginning?
A.
To
lead
in
the
discussion
of
memory.
B.
To
describe
the
way
elderly

live.
C.
To
express
his
or
her
care
about
the
elderly.
D.
To
draw
the
public
attention
to
elderly
people
(

How
did
the
scientists
prove（论证）the
new
idea?
A.
By
telling
stories.
B.
By
doing
experiments.

Be
making
surveys.

In
1901,
H.
G.
Wells,
an
English
writer,
wrote
a
book
describing
a
trip
to
the
moon.
When
the
explorers
(探险者)
landed
on
the
moon,
they
discovered
that
the
moon
was
full
of
underground
cities.
They
expressed
their
surprise
to
the
"moon
people"
they
met.
In
turn,
the
"moon
people"
expressed
their
surprise.
"Why
are
you
travelling
to
outer
space
when
you
don't
even
use
your
inner
space?"
they
asked.
H.
G.
Wells
could
only
imagine
the
travel
to
the
moon.
In
1969,
human
beings
really
did
land
on
the
moon.
People
today
know
that
there
are
no
underground
cities
on
the
moon.
However,
the
question
that
the
"moon
people"
asked
is
still
an
interesting
one.
A
growing
number
of
scientists
are
seriously
thinking
about
it.
Underground
systems
(体系)
are
already
in
place.
Many
cities
have
underground
car
parks.
In
some
cities,
such
as
Tokyo,
Seoul
and
Montreal,
there
are
large
underground
shopping
areas.
The
"Chunnel",
a
tunnel
connecting
England
and
France,
is
now
completed.
But
what
about
underground
cities?
Japan's
Taisei
Corporation
is
designing
a
network
of
under
-ground
systems,
called
"Alice
Cities".
The
designers
imagine
using
surface
space
for
public
parks
and
using
underground
space
for
flats,
offices,
shopping
and
so
on.
A
solar
dome
(太阳能穹顶)
would
cover
the
whole
city.
Supporters
of
underground
development
say
that
building
down
rather
than
building
up
is
a
good
way
to
use
the
earth's
space.
The
surface,
they
say,
can
be
used
for
farms,
parks,
gardens,
and
wilderness.
H.
G.
Wells's
"moon
people"
would
agree.
Would
you?
(
)16.The
explorers
in
H.
G.
Wells's
story

surprised
to
find
that
the
"moon
people"_______.
A.?knew
so
much
about
the
Earth???
B.?understood
their
language
C.?lived
in
so
many
underground
cities???
D.?were
ahead

(
)17.What
does
the
underlined
word
"it"
in
Paragraph
2
refer
to?
A.?Discovering
the
moon's
inner
space.???
B.?Using
the
Earth's
inner

More
and
more
people
in
China
are
now
showing
parts
of
their
lives
to
the
world
by
videos
on
their
phones.
Some
people
send
videos
of
personal
events
like
holidays
and
weddings.
Using
live
streaming(网络直播)
is
particularly
popular
among
the
people
aged
18
to
35.
Even
the
teachers
give
lessons
by
live
streaming.
Besides
leaving
reviews
on
the
screen,
they
can
also
communicate
directly
with
the
hosts
by
buying
virtual(虚拟的)
gifts
such
as
flowers,
toys
and
cars
for
them
online.
The
most
recent
famous
example
was
the
Olympic
swimmer
Fu
Yuanhui.
She
did
one-hour
live
streaming
which
attracted
more
than
11
million
viewers.
What’s
more,
live
streaming
allows
users
to
communicate
with
strangers
and
express
themselves.
A
19-year-old
college
student
called
Nic
Li
says
she
spends
three
to
four
hours
each
week
chatting
and
singing
with
viewers
through
one
app
called
Ingkee.
“Sometimes
I
feel
lonely
and
want
to
talk
to
people,”
she
says,
“I
feel
nice
when
viewers
are
paying
attention
to
me.”
However,
there
are
worries
about
the
misuse
of
live
streaming.
Papi
Jiang
promised
to
correct
her
unsuitable
and
impolite
language
after
she
was
warned
by
the
officials.
As
there
are
more
than
80
apps
and
300
websites
for
live
streaming
in
China,
the
Internet
regulator(监管机构)
can
hardly
monitor
the
content
all
the
time.
“We
support
the
use
of
live
streaming.
But
people
should
be
aware
of
the
two
sides
of
it.”
One
of
the
officials
said.
