About the Brookfield Zoo:
The Brookfield Zoo is located just 14 miles west of downtown Chicago. It’s home to a variety of animal species, and its use of natural barriers and moats(壕沟) is so much more relaxing and enjoyable than watching a lion pace back and forth in a cage. The absence of bars also makes for great wildlife photo opportunities. The Brookfield Zoo also focuses on education, with detailed displays about the animals being viewed and the interactive program that lets kids get some hands-on experience to learn what it takes to run a zoo as well as face painting and crafts.

Black Holes
7:30 PM-8:30 PM, May. 19, 2023
Description: Most galaxies (星系) have a supermassive black hole at their center. These black holes help determine how galaxies will develop over time. Join Dr. Ansel Netscher for an outline of black holes. You can also explore how supermassive black holes may decide the development of galaxies.
The Webb Imagery
8:00 PM-9:30 PM, May. 28, 2023

7:00 PM-8:00 PM, Jun. 3, 2023
Description: Since the discovery of the first planet orbiting a Sun-like star in 1995, more than 4, 000 exoplanets have been found. These widespread planet systems confirm that our solar system is just one of many in our Milky Way galaxy. The discovery of such systems has provided interesting insights, challenging our views about how planet systems form and develop. Join Dr. Amanda Garcia as she describes the scientific hunt for these distant worlds.

【推荐1】The islands of Malta and Gozo are brilliant for a family holiday, packed with fun places to visit whatever your children’s ages. The islands’ small size means everywhere is within easy reach.
Sandy beaches and swimming spots
One of Malta’s best beaches for families is soft-sanded, sheltered Golden Bay. Older children can try activities such as stand-up paddle boarding, sailing or windsurfing, while the gentle slope of the beach makes it easy for younger kids to safely paddle in the sea.
Eating out
Children are welcome at most restaurants, though more upmarket places often only accept older kids. There are often kids’ menus that tend to offer pizza, but you can always ask for a half portion of a starter dish (portions are huge in Maltese restaurants). With a wide range of cuisines on offer, children are bound to find something they’ll like, Maltese food is strongly influenced by Italian cuisine, so there’s pizza and pasta galore, and some kids will love the national dish-fried rabbit
Accommodation
Try to schedule at least a few days on Gozo as there are lots of self-catering farmhouses with pools to rent and it’s even easier to get around than Malta. Smaller hotels in Valletta usually only accept older children.
Transport and other tips
The easiest way to get around Malta and Gozo is to drive, but the local bus service is reliable, easy to use, and fairly inexpensive. Buses are frequent between major towns, but only roughly hourly to and from smaller places. Ferries run between Malta and Gozo, and you can take tourist boats over to Comino.
1. What can younger kids do on the islands of Malta and Gozo?| A．Experience paddling | B．Try windsurfing. |
| C．Have dinner at all restaurants. | D．Live in smaller hotels in Valletta. |
| A．Fried rabbit is the most popular among visitors. |
| B．Children can always eat up a portion of dish. |
| C．It has much to do with Italian cuisine. |
| D．Pizza is only offered to kids in Maltese restaurants. |

【推荐3】San Francisco's Chinatown is the biggest and oldest in the country. It's the third most visited tourist destination in the city. It's also the city's most densely populated neighborhood. So why are businesses in Chinatown struggling?
In this week's paper, I outline some of the reasons for why Chinatown's crowded streets and busy shops might be declining. Underneath the surface, Chinatown is falling. And the city, local organizations and businesses are trying to figure out what they can do to turn things around.
While numbers of people visit Chinatown, they don't stay long and they don't spend a lot of money. And beyond annual festivals, like Chinese New Years, this month's Moon Festival and last month's Sunday Streets—which drew about 15,000 to 20,000 people—the neighborhood has a hard time attracting locals.
Can you remember the last time you went to Chinatown? If you can't, you're not alone. Locals told me that Chinatown doesn't have much to offer them—that the stores are all the same. There are some good eating joints, people said, but they don't know how to find them. Some people even told me that they sometimes go to extreme measures to avoid the neighborhood altogether. But when asked if they would like to see Chinatown gone, the answer was always a strong no.
Locals are hopeful that things will get better and traffic will increase when the Central Subway is complete. But that's not for another five years, at least. And if new shops or restaurants don't make their way into Chinatown, the same problem of attracting locals will exist.
Not that Chinatown's going to die. The dragon still has some fire in its belly. And many people are rooting for positive change. The question is, how does Chinatown change without losing the very importance of what makes it unique?
1. Which can we know about Chinatown according to the passage?| A．Businesses in Chinatown are going well. | B．Local people like going shopping there. |
| C．A great number of people visit it every year. | D．No period has seen a more prosperous Chinatown. |
| A．Chinatown doesn't love to offer them assistance |
| B．shops in Chinatown lack their own characteristics |
| C．it is hard to buy quality goods at proper prices |
| D．they feel annoyed to see so many familiar faces |
| A．the Central Subway is under construction | B．Chinatown has to make way for subway |
| C．many restaurants have been closed down | D．the locals hope Chinatown will be extinct |
