We look ahead to London’s art and exhibition openings and select the must-see shows.
Double science
It’s a big month for the Science Museum，with a new gallery and an exhibition opening.The Science City gallery tells the story of London between 1550 and 1800 when major scientific breakthroughs were happening across the city—from Newton’s laws of physics to the birth of microscopes allowing us to see the tiny creatures that live among us.If that isn’t enough，there’s also an exhibition on how art and science have worked closely together over the centuries and continue to do so today.
Science City 1550—1800：The Linbury Gallery at the Science Museum.Opens 12 September—13 October，free.
The Art of Innovation：From Enlightenment to Dark Matter at the Science Museum.25 September—26 January，free but ticketed.
Are you worried yet?
We all suffer from anxiety.Artists look into this through artworks that bring to light their own anxieties or how people living with anxiety manage.The exhibition also covers what anxiety would look like if it could be visualised in light or sound—something we imagine to be impossible.
On Edge：Living in an Age of Anxiety at Science Gallery.19 September—19 January，free.

三、七选五
Before there was the written word，there was the language of dance.Dance expresses love and hate，joy and sorrow，life and death，and everything else in between.
1 We dance from Florida to Alaska，from north to south and sea to sea.We dance at weddings，birthdays，office parties and just to fill the time.
“I adore dancing，” says Lester Bridges，the owner of a dance studio in Iowa.“I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages.“Teaching dance is wonderful. 2 It’s great to watch them.For many of them，it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.”
3 “I can tell you about one young couple，” says Bridges.“They’re learning to do traditional dances.They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 4 ”
So，do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better，calmer，healthier？Andrea Hillier says，“Dance，like the pattern of a beating heart，is life.Even after all these years，I want to get better and better. 5 I find it hard to stop！Dancing reminds me I’m alive.”
A．So why do we dance?
B．Dance in the US is everywhere.
C．If you like dancing outdoors，come to America.
D．My older students say it makes them feel young.
E．I keep practicing even when I’m extremely tired.
F．Dancing seems to change their feelings completely.
G．They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.
