From space rocks at the National History Museum to old village models at the Highland Folk Museum, the things on show in the UK's most-loved traditional museums are very important in history. However, some of the UK's top museums have had fewer visitors recently. In the US, fun- themed museums about things like pizza and eggs are opening. These museums are places where people can have fun, take photos, and try new things. It seems
fun, but some people say this kind of exhibit (展览) doesn't have enough educational value(价值). Museums should teach us a lot, but are they becoming too silly?
Yes - Museums Should Be for Learning
Museums are there to teach us.They are places for people to learn about the past and discover the world we live in.While museums should be interesting,they shouldn't be made too easy.Many museums get money to take care of important artworks andhistorical items(历史文物),But they also needpeople to buy tickets or things from the gift shop to keep going.If people start going to these fun- themed museums,they might not visit traditional museums.That would be bad for protecting our culture.Also,"fun" museums are just for people who want to take selfies and act silly.
No - Having Fun in Museums is Important
Museums need to be fun places to visit.Otherwise,people won't want to go there.They need to change with the times and not just be places with old paintings on the walls and old things in glass boxes.Since we can see a lot of exhibits online,museums have to think of creative ways to attract(吸引) visitors.Museums can be expensive,and peopleare more likely to come back if they have a great time.Besides,museums don't always have to be about serious subjects.Why can't we learn about things like pizza and eggs? If you like a fun museum,you might be more interested in trying a more serious one.

A new study shows that older wild animals should be protected. Why? Because they have important knowledge that helps other animals in their groups to live. Scientists read thousands of science articles about how old animals affect(影响) their homes and the dangers they face.
Old animals do many good things for their homes. For example, when old birds have baby birds, they're better at getting food and finding a nice place to live. This makes it easier for the baby birds to grow up. Old female elephants are great at remembering which animals are friendly and which ones are not. They're also better at watching out for dangers, like lions, Old orcas (killer whales) use their smarts to help their families find food when there isn't much around.
But in some places, old animals are in trouble. Fishing has made the number of old fish go down a lot. In some groups, it's dropped by as much as 97%! This hurts the "group memory" that young fish need to learn how to stay alive. In places where people hunt animals illegally(非法地), old animals are in even more danger. They often have big tusks, horns, or antlers that hunters want.
Scientists from Charles Darwin University in Australia say we need to do more to keep old animals alive. They think the International Union for Conservation of Nature (UCN), the group that watches over animals in danger around the world, should pay more attention to old animals. This can help experts think of ways to protect them. They also say fishing companies should stop catching so many old fish, so that all the fish can live well.
(1)、What is the purpose of the second paragraph?A、To introduce different kinds of old wild animals. B、To list the names of groups that protect old animals. C、To show the good things old animals do for their groups. D、To explain the reasons why old animals are in danger.(2)、Which reason mainly causes old animals to be in danger?A、Forest fires. B、Human actions. C、Animal competition. D、Water pollution.(3)、What does the underlined word "hunt' in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A、Care for and study. B、Learn about and love. C、Look for and kill. D、Run after and protect.(4)、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A、Fishing companies may change their fishing ways. B、The IUCN has already done enough for old animals. C、Old animals won't face any dangers in the future. D、Only old fish really need to be protected well. -

8、My experiences in England
By Wang Hui
I went to England last year. I(enjoy) my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.
For example, you must say Mr or Mrs you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each other (well) or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.
One day, we visited some (friend) and had afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is not just a drink a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches a large fruit cake. In England, you usually drink tea milk. So I tried (drink) tea with milk too.
Fish and chips is (tradition)food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fish and chip (shop) on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your fingers! It is delicious!
At the bus stop, you must not push your way the bus. You need(stand) in a line and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow (get) on the bus. Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile(polite) and say, "Excuse me! Are you waiting this bus?" He was really polite.
