For the next few weeks at the Museum of Zoology in Cambridge, England, people can use their mobile phones to scan (扫描) special codes (码) next to 13 animal exhibits (展览品). This will open a chat box on the visitors' phones and allow them to have a conversation with the animals. Visitors can find out more about certain animals, such as where they came from and how they were prepared for the exhibition. People can talk to animals such as whales, giraffes and red pandas: There are also some animals that are extinct, such as the dodo. Besides, the chats will show what visitors really want to know when they look at the exhibits, helping staff to improve the museum.

Jack Ashby, an assistant director at the museum, says they also wonder what influence the conversations will have on people. "We want to see whether chatting with the animals will change people's opinions about them"

"Why does Mr. Craven hate the locked garden?" Mary asked once.

"It was Mrs. Craven's garden and she loved it. She looked after the flowers together with Mr. Craven. No gardeners were allowed in."

"But what happened?" Mary asked.

"There was an old tree in the garden with a branch (树枝) like a seat, Mrs. Craven often sat there, reading and talking. One day, the branch broke and she fell down. She was badly hurt and died soon. Mr. Craven locked the garden and never talked about it."

Mary seldom felt sorry for anyone, but now she understood how sad her uncle must be.

The wind roared around the house, and the doors and windows banged. Mary listened, and through the noise she thought that she heard a child crying.

"Can you hear someone crying?" she asked Martha.

Martha seemed pretty nervous. "No," she answered. "It's only the wind or the servant who works in the kitchen. She's got a toothache. Perhaps she's crying. I'm going to check if she needs any help." After the words, Martha left the room quickly.

When Martha left her alone, Mary decided to explore the house. She went quietly along hallways and up and down stairs. In the silence of the house she heard again the sound of a child crying. She stopped to listen at a door, but then another door opened and Mrs. Medlock came out, "What are you doing here?" she said, and she took Mary by the arm and pulled her away. "Get back to your room at once."

—Adapted from The Secret Garden

When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely.

At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guests can eat. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which won't happen at Western tables. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, "It seems that you didn't eat much. Please have more." Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.

Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius (孔子) said thousands of years ago: How happy we are to meet friends from afar!
