1. Some are attracted to muums by the art and the culture —but if that isn’t enough, there is always the strange!
Cancún Underwater Muum
No need to hold your breath to e this one. The Cancún Underwater Muum is, as the name suggests, underwater. More than 500 sculptures anchored in the ocean off Mexico are meant to illustrate the interplay of art and nature. Visitors can either admire the works through a glass-bottom boat or take a scuba diving tour.
Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre
With great attention to detail, New Zealand built the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, which exhibits original aircraft from the First and Second World Wars. Some belong to film director Sir Peter Jackson,
who helped create the t designs with his team. Anyone interested in the pioneers of aviation should pay a visit to the muum in Blenheim.
Tenement Muum杨钰莹近况
At New York’s Tenement Muum, visitors can gain an insight into what life was like for immigrants and the working class in the city from the 1860s through to the 1980s. The muum opened in 1992 and offers guided tours of two tenement buildings with recreated rooms, where costumed ‘residents’ enact the daily lives of the city’s newcomers and workers over the period — leaps and bounds from the money makers of Wall Street.
琴曲Cupnoodles Muum
The Cupnoodles Muum in Yokohama, Japan, offers a treat: exhibits can be not only admired, but eaten. Visitors can work in the muum’s noodle workshop, refining creations with their favourite ingredients. While doing so, one can also learn the history of the ramen noodle, one of Japan’s most popular foods.

2. Last year,Karen Wooldridge and his friend Laura Hogan had an idea: Take unsold flowers which will be thrown away and nd them to old people.“We started working on our kitchen island, and we were really proud of nding flowers,“Wooldridge said. Soon, Hogan added,“We developed.”
Now, they nd a thousand unsold bunches of flowers a month, with 150 volunteers working five days a week. Their organization,Bluebirds &. Blooms,is named after their childhood youth troupe(剧团)The Bluebirds.Their flowers brighten 30 communities—mostly homes for niors who are losing t
heir memories.
Vellie Larson has lost some of her memories, but her daughter Karen Schwartz was in the same Bluebirds troupe as Wooldridge and Hogan, and Larson taught them all music.“When they nd flowers to her,”Schwartz said,“She’ll describe them to me and give me a flower report every day.”
“The flowers are also a hint that someone cares,”said Shery Hassan, the center’s director.“They’re sad, and just having such a simple thing as a bunch of flowers brightens their days,”Hassan said.“Families will come in, and they’ll say,’Oh who got you flowers?This is beautiful.’And it says’Thinking of you.’The niors can just
say,’Oh,somebody was thinking of me!’”
For Wooldridge,the act of kindness brings back great memories of her father,who had Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆).“I know he would have loved visits from the women，”Wooldridge said. And while some might find it difficult to work so cloly with tho fighting with memory loss, Hogan said,“It makes us happy. We’re doing something good.”

一穷二白什么意思3. Although we all experience failure in our lives, we don’t all react to it in the same way. An interesting rearch has emphasized the notion that there are some people who embrace challenges and disappointments as opportunities to re-focus their thinking. The are people with a growth mindt. Then, there are other people who e failure as a complete failure. They believe that they never had the talent anyway, and they probably never will. The are people with a fixed mindt.
Psychologist Dweck has studied the mindts and provided evidence that most people intentionally place themlves in one of tho two groups. The group to which you assign yourlf frequently determines how you react to challenges. If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourlf to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourlf into the growth group.
According to the rearch, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than tho in the fixed group. To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him,“It ems as though you’ve tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?”Edison answered,“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10, 000 ways that won’t work.”
In studies of creative people, psychologists discovered that a distinguishing feature parating them from the non-creative is that they make lots of mistakes and continue to work through them. Most people consider success and failure as polar opposites. In reality, they are both parts of the same process.
1. What might people with a growth mindt agree with?
A．Challenges are welcomed.
B．Mistakes can be avoided.
C．Success is due to good luck.
D．Only talent leads to success.
2. What does the underlined phra “a stepping stone” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A road to nowhere.
B．A challenge in the way.
C．An outcome to expect.
小班律动教案D．A chance to advance.
3. Why does the author mention Thomas Edison in paragraph 3?
A．To make a prediction.
B．To prent a fact.
C．To support a viewpoint.
D．To clarify a principle.
4. What is the main idea of the text?
A．How people interpret failure often determines their creative output.
B．Learning from success plays an important part in improving creativity. C．Growth mindt people e challenges differently from fixed mindt ones. D．Which group people put themlves in decides how they react to challenges.
4. Radiocarbon dating has revealed two fake (伪造的) paintings in France —probably the first time the technique has been ud in a police investigation. The paintings were suppodly works from around the early twentieth century. But a team led by scientist Lucile Beck at the University of Paris-Saclay dated them to sometime within the past 70 years.
The u of radiocarbon dating is gaining popularity, thanks to advances that require smaller samples than ever before. Removing tinier samples from artwork is becoming more palatable to muums and owners of paintings. If there is a chance that a painting is genuine — and therefore valuable —they don’t want the collection of larger samples to damage it.
All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food.
When a plant commonly ud to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what’s left to estimate the time that’s pasd, says Mariaelena Fedi, a physicist at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Florence, Italy.
Atomic-bomb (原子弹) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly incread the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere.Carbon-l4 peaked around 1964and went down after a partial ban on nuclear tests. Rearchers can easily identify materials containing modern bomb-produced radiocarbon becau their carbon-14
concentrations are higher than pre-1950s levels. Beck’s team tested its samples to e whether they bore the feature of that bomb-produced radioactive carbon-14.
The canvas fiber from the paintings clearly contained carbon from either the mid-1950sor after the year 2000, the rearchers reported. Beck acknowledged that, ideally, the team would do further chemical analysis to support its findings, but the rearchers were limited by the tight time.
1. Wh at does the underlined word “palatable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Impressive. B．Acceptable. C．Expensive. D．Difficult.
2. How does radiocarbon dating work?
A．By analyzing samples from artwork.
B．By removing the smaller samples.
描写油菜花的诗句C．By measuring the carbon-14 left.
D．By testing the carbon in the sample.
3. What can we learn about atomic-bomb testing in Paragraph 4?
A．It produces more carbon-14.
B．It helps identify fake paintings.
C．it reduces carbon concentration.
D．It has been stopped completely.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Paintings waiting to be identified
B．Two fake paintings found in France
C．New technology in painting becomes a hit
D．Radiocarbon dating proves an anti-fake helper

5. What is heritage? The word can be difficult to define. Heritage is always something that is pasd down by families or other groups for many years. 1 It can also be the customs, traditions, and values shared by groups of people. One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups. The are the tangible(有形的), the natural, and the intangible.
2 It can include many human-made objects that hold cultural value. Some examples are national monuments and works of art. Many ancient sites are also part of this group. On a smaller scale, a family home can be part of an individual’s heritage.
