Have you ever imagined having a museum all to yourself, just like in the movie starring Ben Stiller? Well, maybe not quite that exact experience. The American Museum of Natural History has been bringing arts, culture, and education to the public since 1869. Though its doors are currently closed, you can still visit the amazing exhibits from the comfort of your own home.

The museum offers virtual tours, live learning, and countless resources for kids and families of all ages. Mark your calendars! This Thursday at 2P ET on the American Museum of Natural History Facebook page, there will be a Facebook Live event that features a pre-recorded tour of the Hall of Human Origins guided by paleoanthropologist Ashley Hammond. Get a special tour of this popular exhibition hall and hear about early human relatives, including Lucy, the most famous Australopithecus afarensis.

Every Tuesday and Thursday at 2 PMEST, you can hop on a Live Virtual Museum Tour with a museum tour guide or expert to explore a featured exhibit via Facebook Live. Missed Tuesday's Hall of Planet Earth Tour on Tuesday? You can go back and check out the previous tours posted to Facebook earlier.

Looking to get out of this world? On Friday, April 3rd, head over to the museum's YouTube channel to catch a live guided tour of the universe with Director of Astrovisualization, Carter Emmart.

Want to wander around the halls on your own? Google Arts and Culture allows you to do just that. From the 94-foot-long model of a Blue Whale in the Hall of Ocean Life to the Tyrannosaurus rex fossil in the Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs, you have the place to yourself to explore!

When I left my country Trinidad and Tobago for China to study Chinese language and culture, never in my wildest imagination did I think that twenty-one years later I would still be here. Two decades is a long time, yet I often tell my friends that it feels like only two years. That is because China is an exciting place to be with lots of opportunities for go-getters or those who seek adventure. It so happens that I fall into both categories.

At first, I was not sure whether I would like my experience in China, so I initially planned to study for only one year when I left Trinidad for Beijing. But as fate would have it, I fell in love with China, its people, and its culture. I extended my course for another three years to learn all I could about this fascinating country. Being in China has allowed me the rare chance to meet many distinguished people. It has also allowed me to do things which I think I would not otherwise have had the chance to do.

Years later, I published my first book, "The Emperor, His Bride and the Dragon Robe." However, to my unexpected delight, this book was officially presented to China as one of state gifts. My mother, full of exhilaration, told me that it was televised on the local news. To this day, I feel highly honored. Among my to-do list is a musical play for children based on the book. Through this book and the play, I hope to share my love for China and engender in children around the world a similar love for Chinese culture.

I believe people should have dreams no matter how big or small. However, most importantly, I believe that people must strive to make more opportunities for themselves to fulfill their dreams rather than wait around for a few opportunities to come along by chance. In this regard, I like to use one of Francis Bacon's quotes: "A wise man will create more opportunities than he finds."

4. Why does two decades feel like only two years to the author?

A. Because he has been seeking for opportunities and strive for his dream.

B. Because China is an exciting place with lot of opportunities.

C. Because he has many friends who are always with him.

D. Because he has a fancy for China its people, and its culture.

5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A. The author was certain he would fall for the experience in China.

B. After studying for four years in China, the author fell in love with it.

C. It was rare for the author to meet distinguished people in China.

D. Being in China, the author has done things which he couldn't do in his hometown.

6. What does the underlined word "engender" in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Spread.      B. Arouse.      C. Conclude.      D. Emit.

7. What is the best title for the passage?

A. My Love for China                  B. My Special Experience in China

C. Ambition is the Key to the Success      D. China, a Dream Man's Resort

C

Melanie Clapham has spent the last three years catching images of grizzlies(灰熊)at Knight Inlet, on the B.C. coast, using small camera traps housed in metal and attached securely to the forest branches.

Three years and thousands of images later, the behavioral researcher and postdoctoral student at the University of Victoria has partnered with two software developers living in Silicon Valley and a grizzly research centre in Alaska to develop facial recognition technology used to identify the bears.

"They don't have distinctive markings on their bodies," said Clapham, whose interest in this technology sprang from the need to "identify and recognize individual bears over time" as part of her behavioral research over the last 11 years.

Bears grow and shrink a lot depending on the season, and their appearance changes frequently during their 20-to 25-year-long lifespans. Clapham began to wonder if A.I. might be able to solve her problem in the same way the technology recognize people's faces.

Now, she says, the open-source Bear ID software can be used and adapted by anyone and could have huge hints for understanding the animals' behaviour and avoiding bear-human encounters.

In relation to the technology based on human facial recognition, Ed Miller and his partner Mary Nyugen are the software developers from California who connected with Clapham in an online forum for conservation technology in late 2017.

The pair were looking for photos of bears "for fun" as a way to learn more about recognition software, and so they connected with Clapham to offer their expertise(专业知识) in adapting artificial intelligence.

"The technology we're using is based on the same software used to recognize humans," said Miller, who added that human identification is far easier, as there are millions of images the software can learn from.

"We need lots of images of individual animals to tell the system which bear is which," said Clapham, who explained "deep learning" as the process where the software trains itself to recognize certain bears more accurately with more pictures it gets. Claphams says BearID currently has an 84 percent accuracy rate. This is especially important, given that a bear will look dramatically different throughout the year as its appearance, especially fur and weight, changes a lot.

8. What is Clapham's purpose of catching images of grizzlies?

A. To monitor the changes of some specific bears.

B. To collect data for facial recognition technology.

C. To finish his postdoctoral research.

D. To meet his interest in the technology.

9. What do we know about Clapham?

A. Clapham uses AI to track bears.

B. Clapham has been in her behavioral research for about 25 years.

C. Clapham cooperates with others to identify the bears.

D. Clapham majors in software developing at the University of Victoria.

10. Why did Ed Miller and his partner contact Clapham?

A. They provided her with their specific knowledge in AI.

B. They wanted to know more about AI.

C. They were eager to attend the online forum.

D. They were using the same Bear ID software.

11. What is the purpose of this text?

A. To call on more people to protect grizzlies.

B. To describe the living habits of grizzlies.

C. To introduce the technology used to identify grizzlies.

D. To record a friendship between Melanie and her partners.

D

California likes to think of itself as the state where the future happens, and in 2008, its voters decided the future was high-speed rail. So they approved a $9 billion bond issue to begin an incredible government infrastructure project: a bullet train connecting San Francisco and Los- Angeles, at a cost of $33 billion.

For years, the optimists have imagined Californians will travel quickly, comfortably and environmentally between the state's two major population centers. The pessimists, meanwhile, have watched the project costs a lot. At last count, the estimates had traveled up to $75 billion, even were still climbing.

On Tuesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom(D)in his state speech called for the state to transform the project to a less costly rail that would run through the Central Valley, which attracted voters' elsewhere attention, because what happened in California illustrates the fact that any U.S. rail project may take a risk.

Distance. In other places of the world, major population centers are much closer to each other. And big cities that are reasonably close together is pretty much an essential condition for high-speed rail, which is why they have it and we don't. Imagine what it would take to build a line from New York City to Los Angeles-or to Chicago, Houston or Phoenix.

Wealth. Of course, the United States does have a few cities that look ripe for rail. And instead of high-speed rail between these cities, we have the express, which takes eight hours to travel from Washington to Boston. Why haven't we built something better? Because truly high-speed rail needs to travel in a fairly straight line. Building newer, better, straighter rail lines would require the government to buy all the land between Point A and Point B and tear down anything that happened to be in the way. However, what's between Point A and Point B is a great deal of highly valuable real estate that will be very expensive to purchase.

California displays all these problems totally. The part of the rail line that was reasonably cheap to build didn't go anywhere near where the people were: it ran through the Central Valley where land was reasonably cheap and the lobbies were relatively few.

12. In paragraph 1, the author intends to           .

A. prove the point of the passage        B. explain a government project

C. introduce a topic for discussion       D. present the background information

13. What do we know about the bullet train project?

A. All people are not in favor of the bullet train project.

B. The cost of the project is approximately 75 billion.

C. Other states have to risk building their own bullet program.

D. The project will make Americans travel rapidly, cozily and environmentally.

14. What mainly leads to bullet train program's failure?

A. Governors in California tend to leave the project behind.

B. The distance is the main reason to limit the bullet project in America.

C. None of cities in America can afford to build a bullet train.

D. Bullet train is not as popular as express in America.

15. What attitude does the author hold towards the high-speed rail in California?

A. Indifferent.      B. Neutral.      C. Negative.      D. Optimistic.

Breaking into Travel Writing

Travel writers who immerse(沉浸)themselves in foreign settings, recording their experiences with details transport readers to a different place. For most of us blue-collar writers, however, the travel writing is much less appealing due to the expensive trips.   16   .

You Don't Need to Travel to Travel Write

   17   . It means you can thoroughly report on stories from around the globe in the comfort of your home office. If the core of the idea is strong, no editor is going to care whether you've set foot there yourself.

Everything Is Travel

Almost any type of story can be viewed in terms of travel. Are you a foodie?   18   . The same can be done with history, film, technology, etc. In fact, taking your special interest and applying it to travel will not only afford you a unique insider perspective on the topic, but also lend you more credibility.

   19   .

Green travel writers tend to rely on the destination as the sole source of story. But every step-from initial trip consideration to unpacking your luggage back home-can prove fertile ground for stories. As a writer, you can mine the full timeline of the trip for material.

Focus on One or Two

One strategy to get more work is to actually narrow your focus.   20   . Thus, if you can develop a specialization, you can become a favored writer in that sub-topic.

A. Plan to go to different destinations

B. Consider Every Step of the Journey

C. Write about a little-known cuisine from Cambodia

D. You can enjoy all the delicious food when traveling

E. Even so, breaking in is easy, as long as you pocket the following advice

F. The tightening of expense budgets has been, thankfully, with the rise of the Internet

G. The travel type is a broad umbrella with hundreds of relative sub-topics beneath

Sea Burials(葬礼)Given a Sense of Dignity

When Chen Qi, 64, completed a mass sea burial on the morning of Oct. 30 and operated his 33-meter-long working boat back to the harbour in Dalian, Liaoning Province, he found another group of people   21   for him.

"The pots sink to the bottom. Within three days, they begin to break   28   in the water, while the ashes mix with the earth of the seabed. It brings another kind of   29   to the dead," Chen said.

"Sea burials should be more ceremonial. People need to express their love and gratitude to the dead for the last time and allow them to leave the world in a   30   way," he said.

For the first few years he couldn't succeed in comforting families who were filled with sadness. Chen said: "Some people cannot shake off the   31   of losing a loved one. They do not want to talk about it with their families, fearing that it might worry them.   32   , they easily open up to me, which is what I'm most proud of."

After witnessing so much death and sorrow, Chen said he and his family are no longer troubled by such   33   . "Enjoy life, as it is short and   34   ," he said. "No matter what happens, we have to   35   on. Life can't be plain sailing, right?"

How Sichuan Food Became Go-To for Dining Out

Of the regional cuisine restaurants   36   (register)on Meituan- China's largest food delivery platform, Sichuan food made up the   37   (large)proportion in 2020. It beat out all other Chinese regional cuisines as well as popular international food choices, according to China F&B Big Data 2020-a statistic reported by Meituan and new media platform Restaurant Owners Internal Reference. Meituan also reported that young Chinese millennials born in the '90s are the driving force behind this trend,    38   (account)for around 51.4% of all dining out.

Two of the defining characteristics of Sichuan food are its two most famous   39   (type) of spice-”Xiangla" and "mala". Compared to other cuisines known for their hotness in China, Sichuan food is the most preferred taste for diners born in the '90s and '00s. Given the spread of Sichuan cuisine today, it's hard to believe that the province wasn't known for its

chilis until 300 years ago,   40   the chili pepper   41   (introduce)from Latin America, helping   42   (lay)the foundations for modern-day Sichuan cuisine.

While there are many reasons that account for the success of Sichuan cuisine,   43   often-cited one is that it offers a wide   44   (various)of delicious dishes. "Each dish has its own style-a hundred dishes have a hundred different flavors," says Sun Yan, General Manager of a Sichuan restaurant, referring   45   an old saying about Sichuanese food that perhaps speaks best to its flavor and diversity.

What an incredible gift so close to Christmas! Mr. Bee is successfully brought back to his family alive during this Holiday season. Without U.S. Coast Guard's help, Mr. Bee wouldn't be able to make it. After two days' struggle, Mr. Bee unbelievably survives and gets to tell the tale of how he was rescued from his 32-foot Sea Ray boat that he named, Stingray.

On the Friday before this Christmas, he set sail some 86 miles off of Florida's coast, which offered outstanding experiences from beginning to end. Blue water sailing there was the dream of all the passionate and accomplished sailors like Mr. Bee. Physically, his core strengthened because of the constant effort to keep himself upright in the water. The excitement began when he boarded the boat to find that all of his needs had been met-and the fun continued as he rode strong winds and surfed high waves. There was nothing instinctive about identifying the distance, direction and type of boats coming at you out there on a rolling sea. That kind of comfort could be beyond belief.

As usual, Mr. Bee got everything under control. After finishing the exercise routine, the 62-year-old was sitting on the boat, alone, with the company of bright stars above and lovely creatures in the water. He had a sense of achievement every time he had all things done on his boat.

Feeling sleepy that day, he fell asleep quickly. Mr. Bee didn't realize the boat suffered a mechanical issue and began taking in water and sinking while he slept. Suddenly he woke up to being surrounded by water. The water came pouring in and pushed him to the front.

At that point, desperate and crying out to God, he didn't even have time to send out a signal for help. He wondered if this was how he was going to spend his final moments.

It was a miracle that the entire boat didn't go under.                                

Seeing the boat sail into his path, he had to attract the boaters' attention.
