3 . Tribute can go to anything

Since 1927, Time has chosen to profile a person or group and feature them on its front page.    1    . Here are three of the Time’ magazine’s more unconventional choices:

“The Computer”, 1982

At the start of the 1980s, home computing was just starting to take off, with companies like Sinclair and Apple releasing consumer-focused machines to the masses.     2    – they were mainly only useful for word processing or extremely basic gaming – at the time they were new, exciting and exotic.

“This sweetheart here, this little baby, looks like any ordinary machine, isn’t that so?     3     Comes with new words too: RAM and ROM,” wrote Time.

“You”, 2006

In the age when sites like YouTube and Facebook were in their new and had not developed very much, Time named those who created and uploaded “user-generated content” onto such websites as its choice of the year.

    4    , with a writer for The Atlantic later remarking: “Is anyone out there not sick of people ironically listing ‘Time Person of the Year, 2006’ in Twitter bios – a reference to the gimmicky(巧妙手法的) selection of ‘You’ that year? Didn’t think so.”

“Endangered Earth”, 1989

During a period of heightened awareness of global warming and climate change,     5     This led to an environmental action plan being later published after Time invited a team of environmental experts and policymakers to an environmental conference it organized.

A．This created chaos

B．A mess of screws and buttons, a whole heap of plastic.

C．While the PCs of the early ’80s were primitive compared to today’s

D．The decision drew mainly confused and negative feedback from the public and media

E．Time featured Earth as its “Planet of the Year”.

F．Other than people, objects have made it to front page too.

G．But it’s not always people that make the front cover.

9 . The Walt Disney Company turns 100 this year, and the whole world celebrates its stories, characters and imagination—but only Philly’s Franklin Institute houses the official Disney 100: The Exhibition (展览).

Making its world debut(首映式) right here in Philadelphia, the exhibition takes guests behind the scenes and puts them into the magic of Disney at what’s sure to be one of the must-see exhibitions of this year.

When to Visit

From February 18 to August 27.

What to Expect

The exhibition features 10 large, themed galleries (主题画廊) that tell the history of Disney from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Strange World.

What can guests expect? Items from the Walt Disney Archives (档案馆), as well as more than 250 of Disney’s “Crown Jewels”. That includes seldom seen original artworks and behind-the-scenes collection. A couple of the items on view include a steamboat whistle (汽笛) from Steamboat Willie(which marked Mickey’s film debut).

Admission & Tickets

Guests have several options when it comes to experiencing the exhibition.

People who visit in the daytime (9 a. m. to 5 p. m.) can buy timed tickets for $45(adults) and $41(children aged 3—11). The best part: General museum admission to the rest of the Franklin Institute is included in the cost.

Looking to save on tickets? Consider visiting during the exhibition’s evening hours, which run from 5 to 8 p. m. Tickets run $25 per person and do not include admission to the rest of the museum.
