    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

    第一篇
    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.

    Narrow Escape
    We had left the hut too late that morning. When we stepped outside,the sky beyond the mountains to our east was already livid with colour. It meant the day would be a hot one,and the warmth would loosen rocks that were gripped by ice.
    As soon as we stepped out on to the face,it became obvious this was going to be an awkward route. The main problem was talus,the debris that collects on mountainsides. Talus is despised by mountaineers for two reasons. First,because it can easily be pushed off on to you by people climbing above. And second,because it makes every step you take insecure.
    For about 30 minutes we moved steadily up the face. The rock was in poor condition, shattered horizontally and mazed with cracks. When I tried to haul myself up on a block of it,it would pull out towards me,like a drawer opening. My hands became progressively wetter and colder. Then came a shout.“Cailloux!Cailloux!”I heard yelled from above,in a female voice. The words echoed down towards us. I looked up to see where they had come from.
    There were just two rocks at first,leaping and bounding down the face towards us,once cannoning off each other in mid-air. And then the air above suddenly seemed alive with falling rocks,humming through the air and filling it with noise. Crack,went each one as it leapt off the rock face,then hum-hum-hum as it moved through the air,then crack again. The pause between the cracks lengthened each time,as the rocks gained momentum and jumped further and further. I continued to gaze up at the rocks as they fell and skipped towards me. A boy who had been a few years above me at school had taught me never to look up during a rock fall.“Why?Because a rock in your face is far less pleasant than a rock on your helmet,”he told us.“Face in,always face in.”
    I heard Toby,my partner on the mountain that day,shouting at me. I looked across. He was safe beneath an overhanging canopy of rock. I could not understand him. Then I felt a thump,and was tugged backwards and round,as though somebody had clamped a heavy hand on my shoulder and turned me to face them. A rock had hit the lid of my rucksack.
    I looked up again. A rock was heading down straight towards me. Instinctively,I leant backwards and arched my back out from the rock to try to protect my chest. What about my fingers,though,I thought:they'll be crushed flat if it hits them,and I'll never get down. Then I heard a crack directly in front of me,and a tug at my trousers,and a yell from Toby. “Are you all right?That went straight through you.”The rock had pitched in front of me, and passed through the hoop of my body,between my legs,missing me but snatching at my clothing as it went.
    Toby and I had spent the evening talking through the events of the morning:What if the big final stone hadn't leapt sideways,what if I'd been knocked off,would you have held me, would I have pulled you off?A more experienced mountaineer would probably have thought nothing of it.I knew I would not forget it.
    What is likely to be the meaning of“Cailloux”?
    A: Rocks are flying through the air.
    B: Rocks are falling.
    C: There are loose rocks on the ground ahead.
    D: There are rocks everywhere.
