Central Museum Guide
Welcome to Central Museum, where you can discover two million years of human history through paintings,
sculptures, photographs, and more. Here is the information you will need to plan your visit.
Booking tickets
You’re advised to book a time slot on our official website in advance to guarantee entry, as the museum can
sometimes be crowded. Visits are available each day for those who don’t have advance bookings, but this does
depend on capacity. Please speak to staff at the ticket office in Building A to check availability. Our busiest times
are during school holidays, Christmas, and New Year. The quietest time of the year is between late October and
early December.
Photography, filming, and drawing
Hand-held flash photography and video recording are allowed for private purposes only. Tripods (三脚架) and
selfie sticks may not be used inside the museum buildings, since they may disturb other visitors and cause damage
to the exhibits. We regret to inform you that drawing is temporarily not allowed to help facilitate visitor flow.
Food and drink
The Court Cafe is located on the first floor of the Great Court next to the Pacific Gallery, serving freshly made
sandwiches, salads and cakes, as well as a selection of hot and cold drinks. It is an ideal place for grabbing a quick
bite or having a break while you plan the next step of your visit.

It was a snowy day during the spring break when I walked into a great restaurant. In this blizzard weather, it
was the only restaurant that remained open.
The restaurant has a long history in Hong Kong. Its owners, the couple, Peter and Michelle, have been running
the restaurant since 2007.
“Things have changed a lot in the past 30 years,” Peter said. “Chinese students 20 years ago thought that a 70-
cent bowl of rice was too expensive, but now a $20 meal is acceptable”. He also said that the new generation of
Chinese students engaged with other students, bringing all their non-Chinese friends to visit the restaurant.
Peter takes great pride in his own cooking. He was curious about how the food was made and why particular
foods or sauces had specific tastes. He chose to serve mainly Guangdong and Sichuan food at the restaurant,
featuring the family-style Chinese dim sum or hot pot.
When I asked whether he would modify the taste of the dishes to suit the taste of most Americans, Peter said,
“We are not like those American Chinese restaurants. We provide the genuine Chinese taste to our customers, and
they will love it because it is delicious, and their taste will suit the taste of our dishes, not the other way around.”
“If I hear complaints from my customers, I will be so upset that I can’t fall asleep at night”, he said. “Luckily
most of my favorite dishes received wide acclaim from my customers and it takes more than one person’s effort.”
He compares himself with the craftsmen in China who are proud of preserving ancient Chinese art and whose
motivation is only on people’s enjoyment of their work and thought.
Such a spirit of craftsmanship has been remarkable and greatly valued in the past. The craftsman’s spirit with
perfection, precision, concentration, and patience remains in Peter and his cooking.
4. How long have the couple been running the restaurant?
A. 16 years B. 20 years C. 30 years D. 70 years
5. Why is the restaurant different from other American Chinese restaurants?
A. Its customers are mainly Chinese.
B. It sticks to its original taste of the dishes.
C. It adjusts the taste according to the customers.
D. Its menu merely contains Guangdong and Sichuan food.
6. Which words can best describe Peter?
A. Generous and patient. B. Ambitious and economical.
C. Thoughtful and humorous. D. Precise and devoted.
7. What can we infer from the passage?
A. He believes that cooking just needs one person’s effort.
B. He shows an interest in preserving ancient Chinese art.
C. He takes pride in cooking the best typical Chinese cuisine.
D
.
He cares about the taste of the dishes rather than customers’ complaints.
C
By mid-century there will likely be 9 billion people on the planet, using ever more resources and leading ever
more technologically complex lives. What will our cities be like? How much will artificial intelligence (AI)
advance? Will global warming cause disastrous changes, or will we be able to engineer our way out of the climate
change issues? Recently, the magazine Big Think asked top minds from a variety of fields to weigh in on what the
future holds 40 years from now. The result is as follows.
It's likely that by 2050 the majority of the people in the world will live in urban areas and will have a much
higher average age than people today. Cities theorist Richard thinks urbanization will transform the education
system of, making our economy less houses driven and removing the divisions between home and work.
And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more rapidly. Cities of the future won't look like “some
sort of science-fiction fantasy”, but it's likely that technological advances and information overlays (VR and AR)
will greatly change how we live. Self- driving cars will make the roads safer and provide faster transports. A larger
version of driverless cars-driverless trucks — may make long-distance drivers out of date.
Some long view predictions are completely dire. Environmentalist Bill says that if we don't make great
progress in fighting global warming, it's likely we could see out-of- control rises in sea levels, huge crop shortfalls
and wars over limited freshwater resources.
In terms of how we will eat, green markets founder and “real food" supporter Nina believes that there will be
more small milk processing plants and more regional food operations and we'll be healthier as a result. New York
Times writer Mark thinks that people will eat fewer processed foods and eat foods grown closer to where they live.
And more people will be aware of the ethical responsibility" to grow foods.
