From virtual tours to e-learning tools, museums and art galleries have been sharing resources using digital platforms to continue to connect with the public, share collections and stories, and support those who are vulnerable（脆弱的）during closures and the COVID-19 crisis. Hastings Museum and Art Gallery Hastings Museum and Art Gallery is a family friendly museum in Hastings with a diverse collection of 97,000 objects of local history, fine a d decorative arts and natural sciences. To deal with the COVID-19 outbreak, we have launched a digital museum via the Twitter hashtag #HastingsDigitalMuseum as well as via out Facebook and Instagram pages. The British Library Over the past two years, our imaging specialists have been trying to digitise the globes, which form one of the most beautiful parts in the British Library’s vast maps collection. The virtual globes will be made available for up close interaction on the British Library’s website throughout 2020, with the first seven due for release on 26 March. Art UK Art UK is the online home for every public art collection in the UK. Art UK is a charity, which features almost digitised 250,000 artworks available online. Through our work, we make art available for everyone--for enjoyment, learning and research. From May we will offer users the opportunity to create and share albums of artworks as well as”digital surrogate（替代的）exhibitions”. Leeds Art Gallery Online The displays at Leeds City Art Gallery have been selected by the staff to reflect the richness and variety of the collections. Established masterpieces are presented alongside lesser known works. It includes recent acquisitions and long term works from the collection.

I live in an area where most parents would rather cut back on personal hobbies for themselves than stop paying for their children’s activities. Music lessons,horseback riding,summer camps,sports teams﹣the list goes on and on. Often,so do the costs. And even if the money is not there,some parents find a way. I know people who have borrowed from family and run up their credit cards to pay for all the stuff they believe their children just cannot miss. “The experiences we thought kids had to have before high school has moved down to junior high and now elementary,” said William Doherty,a professor of family studies and director of the marriage and family therapy program at the University of Minnesota. Soon,we’ll be talking about leadership opportunities for babies.” Somehow,not offering our children every possible opportunity”feels like bad parenting,”said Wendy Mogel,a clinical psychologist. But in an effort to give their children everything. some parents end up not just using up financial resources,but also their own emotional energy.“A lot of parents are exhausted by their own overparenting,”said Bryan Caplan,an economics professor at George Mason University.”They make so many sacrifices and are so stressed out by driving around so much that they explode at kids for changing the radio station.” “It’s easy to take a look at the more successful kids and assume that all the activities are why they are more successful,”Professor Caplan said. But research doesn’t bear that out. On a recent National Public Radio program,Steven D. Levitt,a professor of economics at the University of Chicago,said he and another economist could find no evidence that that sort of parental choices could be correlated at all with academic success. 【1】What can we infer from William Doherty’s argument？ A.Kids need to experience so many activities at a young age. B.Kids should seize leadership opportunities when they were babies. C.Kids are taking part in extracurricular activities at a much younger age. D.Kids should take part in extracurricular activities before elementary school. 【2】Why do parents offer their children so many lessons according to Wendy Mogel？ A.They want to show off their love to their children. B.They think that is the kind of life their children want to live. C.They want to be good parents and be responsible for their children. D.They believe the lessons can help their children achieve academic success. 【3】What does the underlined phrase "bear that out" in the last paragraph mean？ A.Prove. B.Deny. C.Examine. D.Understand. 【4】What is the bad effect of offering children too many extracurricular activities？ A.The children may make no sacrifice. B.The parents may get extremely tired. C.The parents may ask too much of their children. D.The children may not be successful in the future. |

Laura Sides was a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dad's developing dementia（痴呆） when she moved to Nottingham. She said, "Dad was a doctor, so he knew exactly what had happened to him, but people try to hide it when they are ill. Then, I came home for my 21st birthday and arranged to meet him, but he never appeared as he'd forgotten. That's when I knew something serious had happened. " So, at the age of 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make sure he was eating, and that the house was tidy, before heading off to her work. Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form of Alzheimer's disease was genetic meaning there was a fifty﹣fifty chance that she had inherited （遗传） it. For several years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade. At first, she struggled, feeling as if her life lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of 2018, she decided at around 2 a. m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored （赞助） by the charities Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer's Research UK. She hoped to start the conversation around early﹣onset Alzheimer's disease and to encourage people to talk about it more openly. "I remember when Dad was ill, people wouldn't know how to react, and it all felt very hidden away, but I want to be honest and open, " she added, "The more information we can get, the less of a taboo （忌讳） this will feel. That said, the support I've received so far after going public has been amazing ﹣ that's what is carrying me through. " 【1】Laura noticed her father's dementia when . A.her father told her his condition in person B.people nearby informed her of his father's condition C.her father forgot his own birthday party D.her father forgot to attend her 21﹣year﹣old birthday party 【2】The underlined word "agonised" in Paragraph 3 probably means . A.excited B.struggled C.shocked D.delighted 【3】Laura started the open talk in the hope of . A.getting people to talk about Alzheimer's disease openly B.earning some money to help treat her Alzheimer's disease C.making herself stronger to fight against Alzheimer's disease D.raising funds for charities Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer's disease Research U.K. 【4】Which words can best describe Laura? A.Caring and positive. B.Careful and honest. C.Patient and kind. D.Devoted and modest. |

Scientists may one day be able to destroy viruses in the same way that opera singers break wine glasses. New research mathematically determined the frequencies at which simple viruses could be shaken to death. The capsid (壳) of a virus is something like the shell of a turtle, said physicist Otto Sankey of Arizona State University. “If the shell can be damaged by mechanical vibrations (震动), the virus can be destroyed.” Recent experimental evidence has shown that laser (激光) pulses with the right frequency can kill certain viruses. However, locating these resonant (共振的) frequencies is a bit of trial and error. Experiments must try various conditions, Sankey said. To further this search, Sankey and his student Eric Dykeman have developed a way to calculate the vibrations of every atom in a virus shell. From this, they can determine the lowest resonant frequencies. An experiment has recently shown that pulses of laser light can cause destructive vibrations in virus shells. Sankey said, “Like pushing a child on a swing from rest, one sudden push gets the virus shaking.” However, it is difficult to calculate what sort of push will kill a virus, since there can be millions of atoms in its shell structure. A direct calculation of each atom’s movements would take several hundred thousand Gigabytes of computer memory, Sankey explained. The team plans to use their technique to study other, more complicated viruses. However, it is still a long way from using this to destroy the viruses in infected people. “This is such a new field, and there are so few experiments that the science has not yet had enough time to prove itself,” Sankey said. “We remain hopeful but remain skeptical at the same time.” 【1】What is the new way to kill viruses? A.Replacing viruses’ capsids with shells. B.Breaking viruses’ capsids by vibration. C.Locating the position of certain viruses. D.Damaging the conditions that viruses like. 【2】Why does Sankey mention “pushing a child on a swing” in Paragraph 4? A.To prove how simple the new theory is. B.To explain how to start the virus shaking. C.To suggest the idea comes from our real life. D.To show the destructive power of vibrations. 【3】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A.The shell structure of viruses. B.The lack of computer memory. C.The challenging part of the research. D.The importance of atoms’ movement. 【4】What is Sankey’s attitude towards the theory? A.Disapproving. B.Worried. C.Uncaring. D.Positive. |

Many people often find themselves waking up in the middle of the night, unusually awake and excited. 【1】 . That's really frustrating. However, there is no need to worry. Here are some effective ways to help you fall asleep again. Remain in bed. For you to fall asleep, your heart rate needs to slow down. When you get up, your heart rate goes up. So, avoid going to the bathroom during the night if you can. Do not eat too little or too much for dinner. Do not drink and fill your bladder （膀胱）before bed. 【2】 . It may make you fall asleep faster, but it may also disrupt your sleep later in the night. Stay in the dark. When you cannot sleep, LED lights on printers and cable boxes may be the reason. The same is true for light streaming in through cracks in curtains. 【3】. You should cover lights with tape and wear a sleep mask. A popular choice has deep eye cups so your eyes can open and shut while you wear them. Quiet your mind. Try ways to relax, such as deep breathing, meditation, and mindfulness exercises. 【4】 . The point is to keep your brain busy with something that is not demanding and is relaxing. 【5】 . If your wake-up time is 6:30 a.m. and your clock reads 3:00 a.m., do not think Oh no! I have only three hours left! Instead, say to yourself Oh great! I have three more hours to sleep! You have a problem if you wake three times a week for more than three months. It may affect your quality of life. You need to find a sleep expert who can help identify the cause and fix it. A. Think in a positive way. B. Maintain a calm attitude. C. They may keep you awake. D.
