Changes in Museums
Museums have changed.They are no longer places that one"should"visit;they are places to enjoy and learn.
At a science museum in Ontario,Canada,you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body.At the Metropolitan（大城市的）Museum of Art in New York City , you can look at the seventeenth century instruments while listening to their music.At New York's American Museum of Natural History recently,you can help make a bone-by- bone reproduction of the museum's dinosaur（恐 龙）,a beast that lived 200 million years ago.
More and more museum directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing.In many science museums,for example,there are no guided tours.The visitor is encouraged to touch,listen,operate,and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself. The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science.The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it,and those who fear science will not use it to best advantage.
One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure time.Another cause is the rising percentage of young people in the population.Many of these young people are college students or college graduates.Leon F.Twiggs,a young black professor of art once said,"They see things in a new and different way.They are not satisfied to stand and look at works of art;they want art they can participate（参加）in."The same is true of science and history.
People can afford to get into the modern museums since they have more time now.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

The Forbidden Apple
New York used to be the city that never sleeps. These days it's the city that never smokes,drinks or does anything naughty(at least,not in public).The Big Apple is quickly turning into the Forbidden Apple.
If you wanted a glass of wine with your picnic in Central Park,could you have one?No chance. Drinking alcohol in public isn't allowed. If you decided to feed the birds with the last crumbs（碎屑）of your sandwich, you could be arrested. It's illegal. If you went to a bar for a drink and a cigarette,that would be OK,wouldn't it?Er…no.You can't smoke in public in New York City.
What's going on?Why is the city that used to be so open-minded becoming like this?
The mayor of New York is behind it all. He has brought in a whole lot of new laws to stop citizens from doing what they want,when they want.
The press are shocked. Even the New York police have joined the argument. They re- cently spent$100,000 ona“Don't blame the cop”campaign. One New York police officer said,”We raise money for the city by giving people fines for breaking some very stupid laws. It's all about money.”
The result is lot of fines for minor offences. Yoav Kashida,and Israeli tourist,fell asleep on the subway. When he woke up,two police officers fined him because he had fallen asleep on two seats(you mustn't use two seats in the subway).Elle and Serge Schroitman were fined for blocking a driveway with their car. It was their own driveway.
The angry editor of Vanity Fair magazine,Graydon Carter,says.”Under New York City law it is acceptable to keep a gun in your place of work,but not an empty ashtray.”He should know. The police came to his office and took away his ashtray（烟灰缸）.
But not all of New York's inhabitants are complaining. Marcia Dugarry,72,said,”The city has changed for the better. If more cities had these laws,America would be a better place to live.”Nixon Patotkis,38,a barman,said,”I like the new laws. If people smoked in here, we'd go home smelling of cigarettes.”
Recent figures show that New York now has fewer crimes per 100,000 people than 193 other US cities.And it's true一It's safer,cleaner and more healthy than before. But let'sbe honest一who goes to New York for its clean streets?
It's now illegal to smoke or drink alcohol anywhere in New York.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned

Sleepless at Night
It was a normal summer night. Humidity（湿气）hung in the thick air.
I couldn't go to sleep,partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations
for the next day.My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise.
Sweat stuck to my aching body.Finally,I gathered enough strength to sit up.I looked
out of my small window into the night.There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky,
giving off a magic light.
I couldn't stand the pressure anymore,so I did what I always do to make myself feel
better. I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste.I cleaned my
teeth as if there was no tomorrow.Back and forth,up and down.
Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement,some life.Gladiator,
my cat, frightened me as he meowed(喵喵地唱出）his sad song. He was on the old
orange couch（长沙发）,sitting up on his front legs,waiting for something to happen. He
looked at me as if to say, "I'm lonely, pet me. I need a good hug（紧抱）."Even the
couch begged me to sit on it.
In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch.This couch represented my
parents' marriage,my birth,and hundreds of other little events.
As I held Gladiator,my heart started beating heavily.My mind was flooded with
questions:What's life?Am I really alive?Are you listening to me?Every time I moved my
hand down Gladiator's body,I had a new thought;each touch sang a different song.
I forgot all about the heat and the next day's surprise.The atmosphere was so full of
warmth and silence that I sank into its arms.Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms,I
felt all my worries slowly move away.
What was the weather like that night?
A:It was cool.
B:It was windy.
C:It was fine.
D:It was cloudy.
