One day. One lifetime. You can do it! From the museum of modem art to the museum of ancient articles, visit

our picks for the world’s best museums.

National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa)

This museum has a great collection of art spanning the Middle Ages to the present day, including American,

Indian, European, Inuit and Canadian works. It offers a unique, near-complete overview of Canadian art — from

early Quebec religious work, through Inuit work from the 1950s, to the contemporaries.

Tokugawa Art Museum (Japan)

The Tokugawa family reigned over Japan from 1600 to 1868. Under them, the country enjoyed the longest

period of peace in its history. This time span is also known as the Edo period, during which the arts flowered in

Japan. Artists of this period directly influenced Western masters such as Monet, Gauguin and Whistler and have

since gone on to become household names. Other exhibits effectively present, through accurately reproduced

environments, aspects of Japanese life at the time.

Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)

Highlights of this museum’s collection include a 4th-century Christian marble bust ( 半身像) of St. Paul at

prayer, and a painting that questions life and our very existence, Gauguin’s “Where do we come from? What are

we? Where are we going?” It’s a must — go in the US.

The Egyptian Museum (Cairo)

As well as gathering together some of the finest archaeological finds from all Egypt, this museum also

provides a rare opportunity to simply pop in and within minutes be standing face-to-face with one of the greatest

works of mankind, Tutankhamun’s golden mask. A portrait of unbelievable quality, craftsmanship and beauty, the

highly polished gold face — at once a god, a

king and a teenager — shines like water: delicate, yet untouchable all at the same time.

1. Which museum will you visit if you want to know more about Monet?

A. Tokugawa Art Museum. B. National Gallery of Canada.

C. Museum of Fine Arts. D. The Egyptian Museum.

2. What kind of works can’t you see in the National Gallery of Canada?

A. American works. B. European works.

C. Japanese works. D. Inuit woks.

3. What is the most famous art work in The Egyptian Museum?

A. Gauguin’s painting.

B. A golden mask of Tutankhamun.

C. The Tokugawa family paintings.

D. A 4th-century Christian marble bust of St. Paul at prayer.

Skin - diving(潜泳) is a new sport today. This sport takes you into a wonderful new world. It is like a visit to

the moon. When you are under water, it is easy for you to climb big rocks because you are no longer heavy.

Here, under water, everything is blue and green. During the day, there is plenty of light. When fish swim

nearby, you can catch them with your hands.

When you have tanks (罐) of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. But you must be

careful when you dive in deep water.

To catch fish is one of the most interesting parts of this sport. Besides, there are more uses for skin - diving.

You can clean ships without taking them out of water. You can get many things from the deep sea.

Now you see that skin -diving is both useful and interesting.

If you want to be a volunteer, you have to answer the following typical questions. Do you want to work with

people, animals or machines? Do you want to work indoors or outdoors, directly serve people in need or serve

people behind the scenes? Every year, thousands of people in the west offer volunteer service. Volunteering

greatly strengthens the community because it helps the old, the young, the weak, the sick, and the disabled and the

injured to solve problems.

Volunteers usually help in many different ways. They may give people advice, offer friendship to the young,

drive the elderly to church (if up to the driving age), advise kids against drugs, work as assistants in schools or

nursing homes, raise funds, plant trees, help out in local libraries and do many other things. Volunteering can be a

few hours a week or a few hours a month. Anybody who wants to serve people in need can become a volunteer.

In fact, the art of volunteering is a process of both giving and receiving. Volunteering allows volunteers to

meet new people, make new friends and mix with people from all walks of life. Volunteering is an excellent way

to experiment and try out new techniques and skills, discover your individual talents and explore career choice.

Being a volunteer will take you on a wonderful journey and help you learn more than what you can get from

books.

Health experts have long known that vitamin D is important for healthy bones and teeth. It may also help to

protect the body against diseases such as diabetes（糖尿病） and cancer. And now, researchers say vitamin D

might help fight brain diseases called dementia (痴呆).

Dementia is a brain disease that damages thinking and memory processes, which scientists call “cognitive

(认知 ) abilities.” Dementia is difficult to treat. Taking care of someone who has dementia is extremely

demanding. And the disease is very frightening to sufferers. Chris Roberts suffers from dementia. He says the

worst part of living with this disease was getting lost while driving. “The worst thing that I found was getting lost

in the car, not just forgetting where I was going— I wouldn’t know where I was.” More than 47 million people

around the world suffer from dementia. The World Health Organization reports that 60 percent of them live in

low- and middle-income countries.

We get vitamin D from some foods like nuts, lentils ( 扁豆) and fatty fish. We also get vitamin D from the

sun. But that is not dependable. In some parts of the world, there is not enough sunlight to provide enough vitamin

D. Also, sunblock（防晒霜） prevents the vitamin from entering the body. To add to the problem, the skin’s

ability to process vitamin D weakens as a person ages.

Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey are exploring the relationship between vitamin D and

dementia. The team recently measured vitamin D levels and cognitive ability in older people. Nutritional sciences

professor Joshua Miller led the team. He said cognitive abilities differed among the study subjects. He said tests

showed that about 60 percent of the group was low in vitamin D.

12. Which of the following is true about vitamin D?

A. Vitamin D can decrease people’s risk of heart diseases.

B. Vitamin D is mainly obtained from the sun.

C. Vitamin D helps the body fight against cancer.

D. The need for Vitamin D decreases as people age.

13. What does the underlined word “demanding” mean in Paragraph 2?

A. Boring but rewarding. B. Disturbing and frightening.

C. Disgusting and stressful. D. Hard and tiresome.

14. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. How vitamin D affects people’s health.

B. Where people get vitamin D.

C. Whether sunlight can produce vitamin D.
