Museum of Broadway
This museum, which opened in 2022, puts exhibits about Broadway centre stage. It has teamed up with
internationally renowned artists, designers and theatre historians to create an interactive experience that highlights
groundbreaking moments in Broadway’s history—the moments that pushed creative boundaries, challenged social
norms and paved the way for those who would follow.
The Museum of Modern Art
The museum has been showcasing the world’s finest modern and contemporary works for almost a century,
having opened back in 1929．The institution’s evolving collection contains 200,000 works from around the world,
including painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, photography, architecture, design, film, media and
performance art. Highlights of the collection include Van Gogh’s The Starry Night. Other big hitters are Andy
Warhol’s striking Gold Marilyn Monroe and his famous Campbell’s Soup Cans.
Whitney Museum of American Art
Opened in 2015, the current building was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano, the brains behind Paris’
Centre Pompidou and The Shard in London. With the whole view of New York City, the building makes a fitting
home for one of the world’s most extensive and imaginative holdings of American art. The museum of 25,000
works was built around the personal collection of its founder, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, whose initial 600
pieces included works by realist painter Edward Hopper. Today the institution is famed for displaying works by
living artists, anchored by its signature exhibition the Whitney Biennial.
Guggenheim Museum
The museum’s twirling（旋转的）white building is a masterpiece in itself. It was designed in 1943 by Frank
Lloyd Wright, one of America’s most celebrated architects. The exhibitions are world-class, too. The permanent
collection has amounted to some 8,000 pieces, with everything from bronze sculptures by French Impressionist
artist Edgar Degas to pieces by key figures such as Lawrence Weiner, a conceptual artist in the 1960s.

Plumbers（管子工）are usually thought of as the go-to persons when you have a leaky sink, but as a matter
of fact, plumbing is much more than just a blue -collar job. The Elite Trades Championship Series（ETCS）seeks
to change the way people think about plumbing.
Ideal Industries, a company that runs the championship, added plumbing as a category in 2023 to show the
exceptional skills of plumbers across the US.
“We are incredibly excited to introduce the Plumbing National Championship（PNC）to the 8th annual Elite
Trades Championship Series,” Scott Mendel, SVP of the ETCS said. “With successful championship events in
electricity, automobile, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning, this new event will display the remarkable
talents of plumbing professionals and push the plumbing trade to new heights.”
The ETCS is organized to show the knowledge and expertise among America’s professionals in various trades
who are competing for a prize from a variety of sponsors, while presenting the level of knowledge and skills that
the trade industries require.
The Plumbing National Championship kicked off on July 10, 2023 as a way for plumbers to compete against
one another in a series of digital and live hands-on challenges. The participants had to prove their expert knowledge
in a variety of skills related to plumbing in real-world challenges.
The competition lasted for about four months and the finalists competed against each other in Tampa, Florida
on October 27, 2023.
Craig Childress, a skilled tradesman from Boston University won the plumbing championship. With a big
share of the prize money, he was delighted. “Professionally, this is the most wonderful thing that’s ever happened to

Most people can think of a time when they were in a bad mood after a long day at work and a shop assistant
gave them a warm smile. Or maybe they overheard their bus-mate speaking German and ended up filling the
morning commute（通勤）with a stimulating conversation about an upcoming trip.
Nicholas Epley, a psychologist at the University of Chicago conducted a study. Participants speaking to
strangers on public transportation during their morning commutes reported having a more enjoyable commute.
Epley shared why speaking to strangers may have such a mood boosting impact. Loneliness, Epley explained,
is one of the most dangerous social stressors and is even more physically harmful than obesity（肥胖）. “”It’s
larger than air pollution, which we spend an awful lot of time worrying about.” Making connections with those
around us can reduce loneliness and its harmful impacts.
Despite all the benefits of conversing with strangers, there are some factors that hold people back from new
social connections.
Psychologist Gillian Sandstrom thinks that people don’t talk with strangers, simply because most people don’t
have the skills or confidence to do so. To address this, she ran London-based events to help people gain confidence
in initiating conversations with strangers. Sandstrom said, “By the end, those participants don’t want to stop
talking.”
Sandstrom wanted to take this success a step further and she started hosting events where people were forced
to talk with strangers. For example, using the app GooseChase, Sandstrom made a campaign that required
participants to talk to people with a variety of characteristics. This event was also successful with four fifths of
participants sharing that they learned something new, and nearly half hoping to keep in touch with a new-found
friend.
People spend so much of our day around strangers, such as in line at the store, on public transportation, and in
the office. Why not take advantage of being around people you don’t know? Flash a smile or start up a
conversation, and you will make two people’s day nicer.
8．Why does Nicholas Epley mention air pollution?
A．To show the strong impact of loneliness on mood.
B．To highlight the significance of making connections.
C．To introduce the benefits of conversing with strangers.
D．To prove the necessity of creating a good environment.
9．What can we learn about Gillian Sandstrom’s London-based events?
A．They provide new job opportunities.
