21、Dawn Loggins, a homeless girl from Burns High School, is going to Harvard University in the fall.

Dawn grew up in a poor situation. Her house had no electricity or running water. So she had to do her homework in the dark. She lived with her parents who took drugs.

One summer, Dawn left home for a one-month program in North Carolina for outstanding high school students. When she came back, she found her house empty, with a government notice on the front door. Her parents had left already and Dawn became homeless.

After learning that, teachers helped her in any way they could. Sheryl Kolton, a bus driver at Bums, even let Dawn live at her house.

Dawn didn’t let her situation stop her drive to be successful. As a high school student, she joined in different school activities at Bums: band club, photography club and cross-country club. In her spare time, she gave out newspapers and did some other part-time jobs to make extra money. At the same time, she got A’s in all subjects.

“When I was younger, I was able to look at all the terrible situations, and made a decision for myself that I was not going to end up like my parents,” Dawn said.

Dawn applied (申请) to four North Carolina universities and her dream one, Harvard. In March this year, she got a reply from Harvard. It said that she was not only admitted to the university, but also offered a full scholarship (奖学金).

Dawn’s story has gone around the world. People have sent best wishes and money to her. Dawn is thankful for their kindness. “When I get to university, I hope to start an organization to help other students in trouble so that they can continue their education. And I know my future is going to be great,” she said.

22、   In the United States and Canada, there are over 6,000 museums, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago. However, they have changed a lot. They are no longer places where one “should” go-they are places to enjoy.

At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Children’s Museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are no “Do Not Touch” signs in some other museums in the USA.

More and more museum directors (馆长) have realized that people learn best when they can become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, and experiment so as to find scientific rules for themselves.

The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new, modern museums. One cause of all these changes is the growing number of young people in the population. They see things in a new and different way. They want art that they can take part in. The same is true of science and history.

【1】There were about ________ museums in America and Canada 25 years ago.

A.3, 000 B.4, 000 C.5, 000 D.6, 000

【4】The best title for the passage is “________”.

A.Science Museums B.Old Museums C.Children’s Museums D.Modern Museums

23、Researchers found that people who go to live concerts and museums live longer than those who do not. Experts from a London university looked at over 6,700 British people for 15 years. They examined how often the people went out and where they went. They found that over-50s who regularly went to concerts were around 30 percent less likely to die in the next 14 years. The over-50s could lengthen their lives by looking at “beautiful arts”. These include art centers, concerts, museums, and the opera and theater. In addition, people who often go to concerts could have more fun.

The lead researcher said money was important in whether or not people went to concerts. She wrote, “Over 40 percent of people in the least wealthy group reported that they never took part in cultural activities.” The UK Health Secretary believes the research. He said arts and culture could improve things like mental health, ageing and loneliness. The UK’s National Health Service will use the arts to improve people’s happiness and health. The researcher said, “I hope more and more people will have more chances to go to concerts, museums, art centers and so on.”

24、   As everybody knows, tourism plays an important part in the development of a country, the life of people and so on.
