Monet: The Immersive (沉浸式) Experience
Monet: The Immersive Experience in Liège invites you to step into the world of the French painter Claude
Monet, one of the greatest artistic geniuses of the nineteenth century!
Explore some of the most breathtaking paintings by Claude Monet with the help of a digital 360-degree
presentation. The unique exhibition concept is staged with state-of-the-art multimedia technology, which shows
very large images of Monet’s paintings on the walls and floors of the building. It has music, the smell of flowers,
and voice-over in several languages to make the paintings come alive in a way never seen before.
To fully get into the world of the French painter, visitors are guided through three experience rooms. Each
room is a highlight on its own and provides visitors not only with an insight, but also with new experiences and
new viewpoints on Monet’s life, his work and his masterpieces.

Like many of the Indigenous (土著的) communities across the Australian continent, the remote communities
in north-west New South Wales are struggling. Many of the 300 or so residents rely on welfare. Higher electricity
bills—up to $3,000 a quarter for some households—further worsen the poverty. They’re always at the end of the
power line, so the service that is there is quite extraordinary in terms of cost. It’s a real problem that needs to be
fixed.
To that end, Anderson and other Indigenous leaders have formed the First Nations Renewable Energy Alliance
(FREA) to push for renewable energy in Indigenous communities. They partner with private enterprise to support
Indigenous communities looking to switch to renewable energy.
“We can build a power station where the community exists,” Anderson says, “so people are able to
successfully live in the environment the way they want to live and have access to power which enables them to
better determine their economic future.”
Only a handful of Indigenous communities have set up renewable energy projects in Australia. The
Indigenous-owned and -operated company AllGrid Energy, for instance, has installed solar panels and battery
storage systems to replace diesel (柴油) generators in the communities of Ngurrara and Kurnturlpara in the
Northern Territory’s Barkly Tableland. Within two months of the system being installed in May 2016, people were
moving back to their homelands, the communities growing from just two permanent residents to about 40.
But FREA will go one step further, working with community leaders and acting as a conduit (纽带) between
the communities and the businesses they are dealing with. This is essential, says Anderson, to avoid predatory (吞
并) practices they have seen in the past, with companies “playing on the psychology of poverty” to gain advantage.
The FREA has drafted terms of agreements that will guide how companies engage with Indigenous communities
for renewable energy projects.
One of the next steps for FREA will be to identify a community that can act as a test case for a renewables
project. “Our experience is that if we can make it work for one community, it will work in every other community,”
Anderson says.
4. What is FREA expected to do for the remote Indigenous communities?
A. Increase power supply to them. B. Help them return to their homelands.
C. Shake them off poverty. D. Reduce their higher power costs.
5. What does the author indicate by mentioning AllGrid Energy?
A. Renewables projects are inaccessible.
B. Renewables projects are quite workable.
C. Renewables projects can increase locals’ income.
D. Renewables projects can coexist with diesel power plants.
6. What’s paragraph 5 mainly about concerning FREA?
A. Its strategies to win over the businesses. B. Its cooperation with community leaders.
C. Its potential conflict with energy companies. D. Its innovation in directing renewables projects.
7. What’s FREA going to do next?
A. Consult the experts. B. Select a piloting community.
C. Collect sufficient construction fund. D. Make renewables projects available to all.
C
If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your
sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface? The second
question is easier to answer: a lot.
Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to
freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure
version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its
molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must
drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.
But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly
below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That’s where cars help clear their own way by
creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making
it unlikely to freeze.
Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear
and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local
ecology and degrade sources of drinking water.
Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and
calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are
