One of the best things about London is that so many of its world-famous museums are free to the public.

Visitors can enjoy some beautiful paintings, portraits（肖像）and art pieces by famous artists from around the

world there.

Imperial War Museum

Located in what was once a hospital, Imperial War Museum offers a fascinating look at war and its impact.

With lots of films, photos, videos and audio recordings included in the displays, visitors will come away with a

greater insight into the tragedy（悲剧）of wars, as well as the impact they have on society.

National Portrait Gallery

Home to over 11,000 portraits, this delightful art gallery focuses on famous British people through the ages.

Portraits, photos, sculptures and drawings of some of the country's most influential and well-known figures gaze

upon you as you make your way through the gallery. While its most famous portrait is undoubtedly the one of

William Shakespeare, more contemporary pieces do not look out of place alongside artworks that date back

hundreds of years.

Royal Air Force Museum

Located in Hendon, Royal Air Force Museum has over one hundred and sixty aircrafts on display and is a

must-see for aviation（航空）lovers. Documenting the history of aviation and aircraft in the United Kingdom, the

museum has one of the biggest and best collections of military aircraft in the world.

Tate Britain

Founded by sugar businessman Sir Henry Tate, Tate Britain is a wonderful museum to visit, with lots of

fantastic British artworks on show. Tate Britain's masterpieces include works by William Blake and Francis Bacon.

Anyone interested in easy ways to make a positive impact on their communities need look no further than 12-

year-old Danykah Muck, a Michigan middle-schooler whose simple learning project is an inspiration to positive

thinkers of any age. It all started with her way to school every school day. Every morning she would greet an old

man in her neighborhood, who she still doesn’t know his name, smiling or even simply offering a friendly word

“hello”. And he would always nod and smile back. “It seems to considerably change the emotional energy around

me in the community,” She noticed this in both directions, “That simple act can both change our entire day with

how they greet me.”

Last spring, Muck brought an idea to her teachers. She provided them with a pile of sticky notes she had filled

with brief—sometimes one-word—positive messages. She then asked the teachers to place the notes on students’

desks before they arrived at school the next day. She also gave pre-filled sticky notes to the lunch staff and to

school administrators including the principal. The idea was to make it easy for teachers, staff and students to

regularly encounter reminders that they matter and are valued. “You are enough just being you,” reads one favorite

note. Muck’s idea could be just the thing in an office, assisted living facility or even at home for a small family.

“Low-cost” positive interactions, like a friendly word offered to the postal worker or coffee shop servant, are

shown by psychology researchers to build sympathy and abate loneliness. An anonymous note sent into someone’s

inbox or stuck to their front door is perhaps the lowest-cost connection there is, with potential benefits beyond our

imagination. Sometimes the smallest encouragements have the biggest impact. What would you say on a sticky

note to share with someone in your community?

4. What message does paragraph 1 convey?

A. Middle-schoolers are friendly to the elderly.

B. A simple act of kindness makes a difference.

C. A community can be easily shaped by interest.

D. Learning projects can inspire positive thinkers.

5. How did Muck help people in her school?

A. By writing thank-you letters. B. By means of sticking notices.

C. By talking with school leaders. D. By writing encouraging words.

6. What does the underlined word “abate” probably mean?

A. Measure. B. Monitor. C. Ease. D. Stand.

7. The best title for the text is probably ______.

A. What a friendly word means to a stranger B. Never be bothered by negative thoughts

C. Brighten the community with positivity D. How to build a harmonious community

Some time ago, in my class I was about to fail a student for his answer to a physics question when the student

claimed he deserved a better score. The examination question sounded “safe”.

“Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer（压表）.” The

student had answered: “Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower the barometer

to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the

building.”

I argued that a high grade should prove his competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this. I

suggested that the student have another try. Immediately, he worked out his answer: A second best way is to take

the barometer to the top of the building. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, using the

formula to calculate the height of the building.

I was shocked by his answer. His method gave me not only a broken barometer but a U-turn in my teaching

philosophy. I gave him full marks.

On his leaving my office, I recalled that he suggested there could be a better answer. So I asked him what it

was. “Oh, yes,” said the student, “There are many ways. Probably the best,” he said, “is to take the barometer to the

basement and ask the superintendent （楼管）. You speak to him as follows: Mr.Superintendent, here I have a fine

barometer. If you tell me the height of this building, I will give it to you.

At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He

admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school instructors’ trying to teach him how to think, and

to use the so-called “scientific method”. He just wanted to solve the problem in a practical manner, not just answer
