26、American Visionary Art Museum, Baltimore, USA
Tel:410-244-1900
Ever looked at some artwork in a gallery (no doubt with words of praise printed on the wall) and thought: What's so special about that? I could do that. In fact, I could do better. Well, the American Visionary Art Museum is for you. Grounded in the idea that not all great artists go to art school, the museum focuses on self-taught art, resulting in some of the most inspirational art you'll ever see.
Cup Noodles Museum, Osaka, Japan

Ikeda, a small city in Osaka, is the birthplace of instant noodles. The galleries at its Cup Noodles Museum document the journey from chicken noodles to “space noodles”.

Museo Subacuático de Arte, Cancún, Mexico
Tel:998-810-4508
You can't help but wonder how the archaeologists of the future will describe the museum. At first sight, the underwater gallery looks like a rediscovered ancient city. It contains over 500 sculptures(雕塑品) of six different artists, which have been placed on the ocean floor for snorkelling(浮潜) tourists (and schools of fish). The museum may also be viewed by glass-bottom boat.

28、I got my first driver’s license(执照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew(更新)my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon.
When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Catrolina driver’s license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. “Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said. I argued, pointing to a very large belly(肚子)of mine,” I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “It’s the law, madam?”
Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it “No.” I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.
I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown. And thus(因此)it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license.
By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years-sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.
【1】How old was Susan when she got her first driver’s license?
A．18 years old.
B．17 years old.
C．16 years old.
D．15 years old.
【2】How did they go to the vehicle office?
A．By car.
B．By bike.
C．By bus.
D．By walk.
【3】Susan got her first driver's license ________.
A．before she got married to Henry
B．when she was twenty years old
C．after she finished high school
D．when she just moved to Maryland
【4】We can infer from the text that in the U.S. ________.
A．American males should serve in the army
B．different states may have different laws
C．people have to renew their licenses in their home states
D．women should adopt their husbands ' family names after marriage
29、We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with mall talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.
【1】What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A．Addiction to smartphones.
B．Bad behaviours in public places.
C．Anger with slow service.
D．Absence of communication between strangers.
【2】What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?
A．Showing good manners.
B．Relating to other people.
C．Focusing on a topic.
D．Making business deals.
【3】What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?
A．It improves family relationships.
B．It raises people’s confidence.
C．It matters as much as a formal talk.
D．It makes people feel good.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Conversational Intelligence
B．Ways of Making Small Talk
C．Benefits of Small Talk
D．Uncomfortable Silence

Ruby, a l6-year-old girl in Chicago No.1 High School, always looked up to her cousin Wanda, who was two years older than her and was studying in a university. Ruby was the only child in her family, so she regarded Wanda as her “immediate” sister. Wanda was not only beautiful, but also smart. She always had best grades in the exams and she could play several kinds of musical instruments, especially the piano. Therefore, she was very popular in her school and she had a lot of friends. In Ruby's eyes, Wanda was a perfect girl so she considered Wanda as her example. Ruby was still in high school but she wanted to go to the same university as Wanda did. Ruby was even in the same clubs in the same high school as Wanda used to be.
Wanda knew that Ruby looked up to her and she appreciated that. On Christmas Day, Wanda sent Ruby a sweater with her university's logo on it as a gift. Ruby was so happy when she got the sweater. She put it on right away and wore it almost every day.
One day in class, Ruby raised her hand to answer the teacher 's question and the teacher, who had ever been Wanda's head teacher, accidentally called her Wanda. “Oh, I'm sorry, but you just look a little like her,” the teacher said. “I'm so glad," Ruby said. From that day on, Ruby studied harder and harder because Wanda did well in all her subjects. Ruby just wanted to catch up with her.
When college admission results came out, Ruby was so nervous to visit the website to see if she got admitted. She closed her eyes and slowly opened them. She found out that she got accepted!
