A museum in the Netherlands is trying to show visitors more of the objects it has and bring them more excitement.It is using an augmented reality（增强现实）device made by Microsoft to reach its goal.However,the use of this high-technology device started with a basic problem.

The Dutch National Museum of Antiquities does not have enough space to put all of its artifacts（人工制品）on display.So,the museum asked experts at Delft University of Science and Technology to find a way to let more visitors—especially young people—experience what the museum has to offer.

The experts used the Hololens（全息透镜）.It is a computer that shows visitors holograms,or virtual pictures that appear to have three dimensions.

Annelies Maltha,a researcher at the University,says that almost 80 percent of the artifacts at the museum are not shown to the public."So by using the Hololens,"she adds,"people can virtually visit the exhibit and see so much more."

The Dutch National Museum has artifacts like the Egyptian Temple of Teffeh.The structure was reconstructed inside the museum in 1971.It is not currently available to the public.

"The Hololens enables you to have augmented reality,instead of virtual reality,which means you can still see the temple,you can still feel the ancient vibe（氛围）around you,so to speak."The augmented reality technology gives visitors the ability to interact with their surroundings.

The researchers are using the Hololens to make three dimensional images of every room in the temple.Erik Hoglund,another researcher,explains that his team can create 3D models and add different images,movies,or animations.The effect is to make visitors feel like they are interacting with the temple.

The Hololens program is still being developed.But museum officials hope that,in the future,the Hololens will serve as a tour guide for exhibits that have been hidden from public view.

32.What does the underlined part "its goal" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.The experience of excitement.                       B.The solving of the basic problem.

C.The showing of more museum objects.           D.The use of the augmented reality device.

33.What can be learnt about the augmented reality device?

A.It has been widely applied to museums.           B.It is what we call virtual reality.

C.It is developed by Microsoft.                          D.It has many hidden dangers.

34.Which of the following statements about the Hololens is TRUE?

A.It makes interactions possible.                       B.It gives the museum much more space.

C.It enables visitors to have virtual reality.           D.It is a must-have item for the common people.

35.What would happen if the technology were to be applied in the museums?

a.More young people would be attracted to the museums.

b.More items of the museums would be on display.

c.People would travel back to ancient times.

d.Fewer guides would be needed.

As most university students are packing their bags，boarding trains or flying home for the Spring Festival，some will stay behind to spend the holiday on campus．

Zhou Yunyun，22，a senior finance major at Jilin University，has decided that instead of traveling to Hainan province，he will kill the time by playing computer games with his online friends．

“I'm used to chatting and playing with them every day．It’s just fun to make friends this way，”he said．“When I returned home in past years，my relatives always asked me a lot of questions about my plans after graduation．They had high expectations of me，which made me feel stressed，” said Zhou．

The campus，usually lively，will probably turn into a death town，with most restaurants，shops and student centers closed during the break．But there are also a few advantages，according to Jia Debao，2 1，a junior majoring in administration at China Agricultural University．“I might feel a bit lonely，but at least I can stay away from my parents’ complaining and enjoy the peaceful and quiet stay，” he said．“More importantly，I can enj oy the high speed of the Internet，I can always find empty seats in classrooms，and I don’t have to wait to use the bathroorm” But education experts recommend students who stay on campus to come up with more interactive plans．That’s because communication on the Internet can’t replace real life interpersonal relationships．

Society has promoted a kind of“couch potato" or close-in culture among some young people, according to Shi Tongyu, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. He warned that this kind of lifestryl can damage students’ mental and physical development.

 “When you constantly stare at a computer screen and type on your keyboard，you gradually lose the ability to socialize and survive normally，"said Shi．“A human’s most important task is to survive，which cannot be completed by staying at home all the time． Instead，it must be achieved through real life experience and communication．”

       B．there will be more seats in classrooms

       C．he will have a quiet and peaceful break

       A．inactive person                                                                        B．close friend

Music is universal—it 1.           (produce) by all cultures. Some scientists believe that music came before speech. In fact, there is one theory that the 2           (early)languages were chanted or sung rather than spoken.

Indeed, in some cultures, music is a form of 3.          (record) history. The Aboriginal Australians, for example, use music as 4.          means to pass on stories of the land and spirits to the next generation. New evidence suggests that music does not just satisfy the feel-good factor but it 5.          (be) also good for the brain. A study of 6.           (mental) disabled children showed that they could recall more information after it was given to them in a song than after it was read to them 7.          a story.

Researchers also report that people score better on a standard 8.          (intelligent) test after listening to Mozart. The so called “Mozart effect” has also been supported by findings that rats 9.          (bring) up on Mozart run faster through a complex network of paths or passages known as a maze(迷). Overall, it seems that in most instances people l0.          from any form of mental illness can benefit from listening to music.

The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn't seen for many years. I couldn't believe the change in him. As a matter of fact, he didn't even seem like the  11   person.

When I first knew Bill, back in   12  , he was one of the most carefree(无忧无虑的) people I had ever met. He was always ready to have a party. He was always ready to have a party. He thought   13   of going went out for beer at three o'clock in the morning or drove 50 miles to see an old   14   he really liked. Bill and I were in the same class in college, and life was never dull when he was   15  . With him there was one wild   16   after another. Sometimes I wonder how we managed to study for our exams.

Last week I was in Houston on business, and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel.   17  , I wasn't even   18   it was he. Was this short-haired businessman really the same person? I wasn't really sure until I came near him, but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He   19   most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the   20   thing Bill cared about was possessions(财产). Now they seemed to be his main   21  . Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow, I never imagine Bill changing so much. My image of him   22   the one I had formed at the time when we were college students together.    

I suppose it's   23   to expect people to remain the same, especially   24   I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than

the new Bill. Maybe he   25   the same way about me.

  How did the name Canada come about? In 1535, the king of France ordered a navigator Cartier exploring the New World and look a passage to India.

 “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

                                                         -----Albert Einstein

   If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someone’s control over their movement ) and it means ,combined with her communication challenges and sight problems , that standard assessments (and by “standard”, I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) aren’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.

   By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville , Florida ,who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five (a gesture of greeting or congratulation ). I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and self-worth increase rapidly, ” he said . All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers.

   Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate’s trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.

   I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home .We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.

Ulmer’s reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact , he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.

24. What does the author think of Einstein’s quote?

A. Funny        B. True       C. Strange       D. Confusing

25. What can we learn about Chris Ulmer ?

A. He praises his students one by one            B. He is Syona’s favorite teacher

C. He use videos to teach his students            D. He asks his students to help each other

26. Syona felt very pleased because_____.

A. she has developed a cool attitude         B. her progress was appreciated by her parents

C. her mother knew what she expressed      D. she had been to Ecuador with her classmate

27. What change has taken place in the author’s family？

A. They invite Ulmer’s students to their home     B. They visit Umer’s classroom regularly

C. They feel grateful to people in their lives       D. They give each other praise every day
