27、Among a row of village houses with gray walls and wooden doors, a two-story building stands out not just for its height but also for the words hanging at the entrance:“Jiahe Museum”. The museum was founded by Wang Jijia, a 53-year-old farmer in Northwest China’s Gansu Province.
Wang exhibits old items he has collected over the past 30 years in his museum that he established on the second floor of his house. “As a farmer, I am full of emotions about what happens on the land,” he said.
When he was in high school, Wang was fascinated by what he found at home—a pile of documents and certificates featuring the lifestyle of the older generations. “Looking at those yellowish papers from the old age, I can’t help wondering the stories behind,” he said.
That’s how Wang’s interest in collectibles began. Since then, he devoted all his spare time to wandering around salvage stations, bookstalls, and neighborhoods to collect old stuff, such as books, certificates, old farm tools and other items of daily use.
In 2017, inspired by an exhibition in the province, he had the idea of establishing a museum displaying his collections. He borrowed money from the bank and used his knowledge from visiting various public museums across the country to design his own museum.
In two years, Wang built the museum that covers about 500 square meters with over 20,000 exhibits, ranging from items as old as several thousand years to new objects from his parents’ generation.
“Older people are nostalgic, and some of them have experienced ups and downs that were totally different from today. I hope to offer them a chance to recall those past days,” Wang said. In his museum, he expects the older generation can recall the unforgettable days while youths can be aware of the changes brought by their parents, including their sacrifices.
Since its opening in September 2019, the museum has received more than 16,000 visitors, including culture lovers, elderly villagers, and museum colleagues.

28、Which language is the hardest to learn? According to the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC), Chinese Mandarin, Arabic and Japanese top the list of the most difficult languages for native English speakers to learn, with 2, 200 hours spent studying them.
Chinese Mandarin is one of the hardest languages for English speakers to learn in the world. First of all, the writing system is hard. 【1】 It is a nightmare (噩梦) for English speakers and for all who use letters in their native language. Additionally, there are thousands of characters, each of which represents a word. Then, there are tones (音调). They are vital in Chinese because many words that differ only in pronunciation can have different meanings.【2】
Next on the list of the hardest languages to learn for English speakers is Arabic. Written Arabic — the language of the Quran — will make you understood everywhere, but spoken Arabic may be more useful, because once the locals start to have conversations with each other, you'll get lost.【3】 Its 28 letters are easier for English speakers to understand than the thousands of Chinese characters.
【4】 Japan has many devoted followers, especially among gamers and mouse potatoes. But they are faced with an extremely challenging language that uses imported Chinese characters cut off from their original meaning. What Japanese you speak also depends on whether you are a female or male. There's a “rough” language for men and a more “ladylike” language for women, but you must understand both.
These languages are unusual to English speakers due to the differences in the alphabet, grammar rules, pronunciation, etc.【5】 On the contrary, when you give your best efforts and devote yourself to learning, your path to success is guaranteed.
A.Learning a new language isn't an easy task.
B.Chinese Mandarin, for example, has four tones.
C.Arabic is another language with a non-Latin alphabet.
D.This language doesn't use alphabet but special characters.
E.However, it doesn't mean that they are impossible to learn.
F.Politeness can be shown through language in the way you call people in Japan.
G.Japanese is also one of the things that can give a big headache to English speakers.
29、 We all know cameras. But have you heard of Google’s new camera? It is a small, smart device, called Clips. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.
This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smart phone.
Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there’s a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Did people think it was strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that the device is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible because of the way that technology has advanced,” Payne said. It was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.
【1】What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?
A. It is equipped with tough glass.
B. It enables easy Internet access.
C. It allows of hands-free photography.
D. It can be worn on your clothing.
【2】What does the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Brief. B. Touching.
C. Unforgettable. D. Embarrassing.
【3】What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?
A. The popularity of the Internet.
B. The advance in technology.
C. The rise of the smart phone industry.
D. The reduction in the price of lens.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A. An Alternative Way to Photograph
B. New Gadgets in the Age of Apps
C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life
D. A New Digital Camera from Google
