When was the last time you visited a museum in     1     almost every collection could be touched? American lawyer Mitch Dudek built a private museum where visitors can have direct contact with all the exhibits on display in the ancient city of Suzhou.

The museum     2     (name) Six Arts because it is about the six senses and stimulating all of your senses. You can touch things. You can smell things. It’s different from other     3     (museum). Founded in 2018, the four-storey museum now houses more than 40, 000 Chinese antiques     4     (date) back to the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911),     5     another 60, 000 items stored in warehouses (仓库).

Having never seen or used such items in his own country, Dudek is filled with strong     6     (admire) of the delicate designs and complicated carvings of these old items. “I think they are just beautiful, and I should collect them,” said Dudek, adding that these items may be ignored once     7     (random) packed in the warehouses, but they could shine again through restoration.

“As more and more Chinese understand and offer me some of their old belongings, collections in the museum have become more     8     (vary) and abundant. Now I plan to invite scholars and craftsmen     9     (discover) more cultural and historical stories behind them,” he said.

“The collections not only help revisit old times but also present     10     sense of beauty,” said Xu Yun, a visitor from Shanghai.

Formed in 2002, the China International Search and Rescue Team (CISAR) brings help and hope to those     1     lives are changed by natural disasters.

The team carried out     2     (it) first international rescue mission in 2003. It was the first time that a Chinese team had worked outside China, and the team won high praise for their     3     (brave) and skill. The list of people     4     whom help has been given ever since is long. The team     5     (treat) more than 3,000 people who were injured in the 2006 earthquake in Indonesia, and spent several months     6     (give) aid to over 25,000 victims of the 2010 floods in Pakistan.

Rescue workers are trained to find people, treat injuries, and hand out food, water, and other supplies. There is     7     (usual) no electricity or water after a disaster and diseases and accidents may appear.     8     (save) lives, rescue workers have to work day and night, and sadly they must also bury     9     dead, which means they have to be strong in both body and mind. And they’ll have to take     10     (effect) measures in action. The members of the CISAR are always ready to go wherever help is needed.

8 . Since 2008, the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India and China, the BRIC countries have met every year to discuss topics of global importance. At their third summit (峰会) in China in 2011, the leaders invited South Africa to join, thus becoming the BRICS. The four foreign ministers met on the fringes of the United Nations General Assembly in the fall of 2016. Their leaders, first meeting was held in Sapporo on the eve of the G8 Toyako-Hokkaido Summit in 2008, and their first standalone (单独的) summit was the following year in Yekaterinburg, Russia. Since then, the BRJCS ministers responsible for foreign affairs, finance and the economy, trade, agriculture and health have met. At the official's level, there have been meetings held to discuss science and technology, national security, competition and statistics.

While the concept "BRICS" was first created by Jim O'Neill of Goldman Sachs to refer to the investment opportunities of the rising economics, the leaders' meetings transcend the financial topics to involve many different summit-level topics relating to global governance, such as development, peace and security, energy and climate change and social topics.

The mission of the BRICS Information Center is to serve as a leading independent source of information and analysis on the BRICS interaction and institutions. Documentation from the BRICS and research and reports will be published on this website as they become usable.

Special attention will be paid to the interaction and each other's influence of the BRICS with the world,   and including the BRICS relationship with the Group of Eight (G8), Group of Twenty(G20).and other different summit institutions and broadly many-sided organizations.

9 . Four Interesting Science Museums

Polytechnic Museum, Russia

For many guests of the capital, some of the most vivid childhood memories are associated with this museum. A variety of technical fields are presented in 65 halls-Mining, Space, Energy, and Transportation, etc. And the exposition（博览会）is the only museum project in Russia about the history of the bike. The interactive division "Technoplay" is open, where you not only can but also need touch most of the exhibits with your hands. In addition to self-experimentation, for personal requests the museum's experts will show many entertaining experiments.

Eureka, England

The Eureka educational center is a huge complex where modern science and technology are becoming clear, even to kids. The main exhibition is devoted to the human body, the laws of physics and natural things. Visitors can obtain energy or create paper with their own hands. On the area of the Eureka educational park there is a botanical garden and a collection of minerals from the rock types of Finland is presented there.

Deutsches Museum, Germany

In this museum you can see more than 100 thousand different items from windmills（风车）to medical equipment. All aspects of industrial production appear before the eyes. Several museum rooms are arranged especially for children-there are exhibits that entertain kids starting from three.

NEMO, the Netherlands

The largest Dutch research centre stands ready to share its secrets with everyone. This immersion（沉浸）in the world of science and technology will not be dull. All significant information is presented in the form of exciting games. All exhibits are interactive; visitors are allowed to touch, pull and press on anything. The museum is for children from 6 to 16, as well as for their parents-it will be interesting to all.

10 . Have you heard of Creative Growth? The Oakland institution offers a professional studio space where adult artists with developmental, mental and physical disabilities can create work. It also provides gallery exhibitions, representation, guidance, a community of likeminded artists and a safe space in which to grow. The late Judith Scott, whose artwork lit up the Brooklyn Museum in a retrospective(回顾展)last year, was a Creative Growth artist who suffered from down syndrome(唐氏综合征)and hearing loss.

“It’s the best facility for local adult artists living with disabilities,” Jonah Olson, an artist and former teacher in Creative Growth’s printmaking studio said. “ The amount of work they produce and the quality of it are remarkable.”

Olson, who now lives in Los Angeles, is a member of the band L.A. Takedown. Along with his bandmates, Olson decided to use the opportunity to expose Southern California to lesser known contemporary outsider artists, living and working just a few hours up north.

“I’ve had an interest in outsider art for a long time,” Olson explained. “You make art as a child and the reasons for doing it now, in my case, are no different now from what they were then. It’ s very basic. Intrinsic (本质的). I think that’s what drew me to art made by people with developmental disabilities.”

The show, a survey of the space’s better-known and lesser-known names, loosely revolves(围绕) around themes of art and music. “Not a lot of the recent artwork specifically is about music, but we are grouping the work around the idea of being in the cities of L.A. and Oakland.” Olson said.

The artists of Creative Growth will be on view throughout the month of August, coupled with musical performances and film screenings organized by L.A. Takedown. All proceeds from the month will benefit the artists and space. The money will be used to improve the condition of the studio and for the development of the artists. “L.A. doesn’t really have a place like Creative Growth,” Olson said, discussing his hopes for the show.
