    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.
