Some are attracted to museums by the art and the culture — but if that isn’t enough, there is always the

strange!

Cancún Underwater Museum

No need to hold your breath to see this one. The Cancún Underwater Museum is, as the name suggests,

underwater. More than 500 sculptures anchored in the ocean off Mexico are meant to illustrate the interplay of art

and nature. Visitors can either admire the works through a glass-bottom boat or take a scuba diving tour.

Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre

With great attention to detail, New Zealand built the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, which exhibits original

aircraft from the First and Second World Wars. Some belong to film director Sir Peter Jackson, who helped create

the set designs with his team. Anyone interested in the pioneers of aviation should pay a visit to the museum in

Blenheim.

Tenement Museum

At New York’s Tenement Museum, visitors can gain an insight into what life was like for immigrants and the

working class in the city from the 1860s through to the 1980s. The museum opened in 1992 and offers guided tours

of two tenement buildings with recreated rooms, where costumed ‘residents’ enact the daily lives of the city’s

newcomers and workers over the period — leaps and bounds from the money makers of Wall Street.

Cupnoodles Museum

The Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama, Japan, offers a treat: exhibits can be not only admired, but eaten.

Visitors can work in the museum’s noodle workshop, refining creations with their favourite ingredients. While

doing so, one can also learn the history of the ramen noodle, one of Japan’s most popular foods.

Elon Musk is a businessman, inventor and engineer and is undoubtedly, one of the leading figures in the world

of technology. Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa in 1971. At the age of 12, he taught himself how to

programme computers. He was accepted to university in the United States where he completed a degree in Arts.

After this, he started a PhD in physics at Stanford University. However, he dropped out to pursue his interest in

startups and technology.

He founded an online payment site that eventually would become a global company. In 2001 Musk began

meeting with scientists to discuss the possibility of human habitation on Mars. Using his own fortune, Musk

founded his company that designs rockets and space vehicles. It was the first privately owned company to do so. In

2012, the rockets made by the company docked with the International Space Station. Musk also received contracts

from NASA, thus making history by proving that the concept of commercial space exploration was both possible

and affordable.

Another one of Musk’s innovations is the electric car. Musk started a company and became the CEO in 2008.

The company is named after Nicolai Tesla, the Serbian-American inventor and physicist, who is best known for

designing the AC electrical system. The cars made by Musk’s company are designed to end the dependence on

fossil fuels and so reduce the negative effects of climate change and air pollution from cars.

Why does Musk devote himself to such innovations? By creating opportunities to explore new planets, Musk

believes that in the event of a major catastrophe on Earth, there would be the potential for the human race to

continue elsewhere. On Earth, Musk’s inventions are designed to find renewable, environment-friendly solutions to

meet the challenge of an ever-growing global population.

4. What can we learn about Musk?

A. He learnt computer programmes from his teacher at 12.

B. He graduated from Stanford University with a degree in physics.

C. He received government support to found the space company.

D. He named his company after a well-known scientist.

5. According to the author, what event was historic in Musk’s career?

A. Getting achievements in arts.

B. Founding an online payment site.

C. Receiving contracts from NASA.

D. Becoming CEO of two companies.

6. What is Musk’s motivation for his innovations?

A. To expand human reach and protect the earth.

B. To stimulate people’s curiosity about space.

C. To realize his dream of becoming a leading figure.

D. To make more profit and set up more companies.

7. Which of the following best describes Musk?

A. Gifted and humorous. B. Curious and honest.

C. Generous and considerate. D. Creative and responsible.

Though they may not know it, about half a billion people depend on the ecosystems created and sustained by

corals. And with climate change threatening coral’s survival, marine scientist Enric Sala had a goal that might have

seemed impossible.

“We wanted to get into a time machine, go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral reef like they used

to be everywhere, before we started exploiting, polluting and killing them,” Sala said.

The goal was made possible during an expedition Sala led in 2009. The team traveled to a corner of the South

Pacific Ocean, to see if the almost untouched reefs held any clues to bringing damaged reefs in other parts of the

ocean back to health.

“The bottom was covered by thriving coral. Vivid colors surrounded me－purples, reds, oranges, yellows and

greens. It was so beautiful,” Sala said.

His team presented their findings to officials in the island country of Kiribati. The government took steps to

protect the waters from fishing. But between 2015 and 2016, record levels of ocean warming damaged half the

coral reefs the team had been studying.
