According to Xinhua News Agency, the Palace Museum and Huawei signed a strategic cooperation agreement on March 15. The two sides will set an example     1     5G application.

The Palace Museum received more than 17 million visitors in 2018,     2    (make) it the most visited museum in the world. In the past 20 years, an office information network covering the whole museum     3     (build) gradually. The museum has developed an App that provides an in-depth     4    (explain) of cultural relic information and cultural services. Also, the museum has research on the application of VR, AR, Al and other     5    (technique) in museums.

    6     signing of the agreement marks a new chapter in the strategic cooperation between the Palace Museum and Huawei Technologies Co. So, Huawei will make efforts     7    (accelerate) the intelligent construction of the Palace Museum.

“The 600-year-old Palace Museum has never been so close to science and technology.” Shan Jixiang said     8     (proud), director of the Palace Museum.

Shan shared many ideas about the 5G Palace Museum. With the help of advanced technology,    9     is expected that in the future, audiences around the world will be able to experience and visit the Palace Museum, whether it is a field trip or a virtual tour. Also, the use of Al technology provides a     10    (broad) platform and stronger knowledge support for cultural relics among young people.

The Students’ Union

You may have heard of the Red Cross. It is an     1     (organize) that helps people who are in need no matter     2     bad the situation is ! But if not for the passion of a young woman named Clara Barton, the American Red Cross may have never been formed!

One day when she was 11 years old, her elder brother was     3    (terrible) injured. He was ill for two years. Clara cared for him     4     whole time. Through this experience she found out that she came alive when she cared for others.

Soon, Clara began taking care of injured animals. Neighbors began bringing their pets to her. And, almost always, she made them better.

When she was older, she became a nurse in the American Civil War and she helped save hundreds of     5    (soldier).

After the Civil War, Clara traveled to Europe to rest.     6     that did not last long. Soon she was caring for     7     (wound) people in battle once again! But this time, she learned about the Red Cross who worked alongside her on the battlefield. Their mission was to help those who needed it most.

She decided that the Red Cross     8     (need) in America. Over several years, she asked 4 different presidents     9     (bring) the Red Cross to America. They all said no. But then, thanks

    10     her persistence(坚持), one of the presidents changed his mind! And the American Red Cross was born.

4 . A woman grasped her phone to her heart the way a minister might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of a bunch of flowers that sat not 10 feet away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular annual events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. For the 34th year, artists were asked to create flower bunches that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It’s time to take a photo to post on Instagram, but to the point that it has become a problem.

In recent years» the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had ruined their experience. In fact, institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge draw for museums as well as something that upsets some of their visitors. So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.

One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A recent study in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this; it found that people who took photos of an exhibit rather than simply observing it had a harder time remembering

what they saw. But the issue is complicated for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing, communications and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland. ” Yet a lot of other people do, and she thinks that the de Young is in no position to judge that one motivation for buying a $ 28 ticket is more valid than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says, “we would risk becoming less popular.” If this is a battle, signs indicate that the pro-phone crowd (亲手机人群) has already won.

5 . Although small business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, little attention has been paid to the need of young people, and even less to the children living on the street or in difficult condition.

Over the past nine years, Street Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organizations in Africa, Latin America and India to support the economic lives of street children and develop opportunities for street children to earn income.

The S.K.I. Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Street children who took part in it were given bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages. A similar program was taken up in Bangalore, India. The Shoe Shine Collective was a program with the Y.W.C.A. in the Dominican Republic. The children in this project were lent money to buy shoe shine boxes. They were also given a safe place to store their equipment, and facilities for individual savings plans. The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a program with the Red Cross Society and the Y.W.C.A. Street youths are supported to start their own small business through business training, life skills training and access to credit.

During the program, The S.K.I. and partner organizations have drawn lessons from the past: First of all, being a businessman is not for everyone, nor for every street child. And it is important for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills. Secondly, small loans are provided firstly for buying fixed assets such as bicycles, shoe shine kits and basic building materials for a market stall. As the children gain experience, they can be given more loan amounts. And all S.K.L. programs have charged interest on the loans. Generally the rates have been lower than bank rates. Most importantly, it is believed that credit must be given with other types of support that help the young develop key life skills as well as productive businesses.

8 . For top students from low-income families, applying to colleges is particularly difficult. One approach makes this whole process easier? Provide an adviser for them.

That's the idea behind CollegePoint, a program to help gifted students go to schools that match their intelligence. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT, SAT or ACT—and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than $ 80, 000 a year, they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students' questions.

Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, thinking about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice: Skidmore College in New York.

Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle, an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-state wasn't her first choice, but it was the best option for her.

9 . Kim Stemple was a special-education teacher. In 2012, she found herself in a Boston hospital being______for one of several diseases she had been diagnosed (诊断) with. The normally energetic Stemple was naturally getting very______. And then a friend gave her a medal.

Before she got too______to exercise, Stemple had been a marathon runner. The medal came from a______partner who had just______a half marathon in Las Vegas and hoped the medal would act as a kind of____. It worked like magic.After Stemple hung the medal on the wall, other____said they wanted medals too. That got Stemple______.“A medal is a simple way to give a_______message,” she told others. And so was born her charity, We Finish Together, which______medals from strangers — runners, dancers, swimmers, singers, and even spelling bee winners — and gives them to all sorts of people______.

People who have received the medals have______hospital patients, people from homeless shelters, etc. Part of the process involves the______owner writing a personalized note on the ribbon (绶带).“This helps them______with someone,”says Stemple.“If they receive a medal, they know someone______.”

Can a simple medal______make a difference? Yes, says Joan Musarra, who suffers from a serious lung disease.“When I______my package containing my new______and the notes of positive, warm thoughts, I was very______,”she wrote to Stemple. “At that moment, I was sitting on my sofa breathing through an oxygen cannula (氧气管) because my lungs were so weak. It______so much to me to feel that I am not alone.”

10 . On account of the government shutdown, many of the city’s best attractions, such as the national museums, are closed. It may affect your social plans. That’s especially true if you have out-of-town visitors coming to the District. Don’t worry! For every closed museum, we’ve offered up a suitable substitute that is privately run, thus not subject to the shutdown. Here’s where you can go instead.

The National Museum of African American History and Culture is one of the hottest draws on the National Mall, with free tickets taken weeks in advance. Its sister museum, the Anacostia Community Museum, takes a community-focused look at African American history. So does the Banneker- Douglass Museum in Annapolis, which traces the African American experience in Maryland, and the Alexandria Black History Museum, where exhibitions honor local activists and explore the influence of slavery in the area. And unlike the African American Museum, neither requires you to plan ahead.

Wandering through the galleries at Glenstone, you’ll come across some of the biggest names in 20th century art—Jackson Pollock, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Robert Rauschenberg. Glenstone sits on a 230-acre estate (土地) that doubles as an outdoor sculpture garden. Free tickets for Glenstone are often reserved weeks in advance, but 72 free tickets are available every day for anyone who takes a Montgomery County Ride—On Bus from Rockville Metro Station to the museum.

Masks, musical instruments and jewelry can be found in Fulton, where the African Art Museum of Maryland houses a collection of traditional and contemporary African artworks and objects. And the best part, for visitors on a budget? Admission is free.
