Many people don't know the answer to this question, as it closes at around 4：30 p. m. in winter and 5：00 p. m. in summer. However, to celebrate the Lantern Festival, Beijing's Palace Museum opened its door to the 3 public after dark—for two nights only. That's a first in 94 years! Although people could get free tickets on the museum's website, it was difficult to get a ticket. The website even stopped working for a while because too many people visited it at the same time. Zhang Zhifu, a 77­ year­old woman, received a ticket from the museum as a gift. “I grew up in Beijing and I visited the Palace Museum every year, but I never got to see it at night. It is truly an honor，” she said. In the past celebrating the Lantern Festival was a tradition for the imperial (皇帝的) family. “We want to pass the tradition on and give people more festival experiences，” said Shan Jixiang, the head of the Palace Museum. On the night of February 19th, 2019, about 3， 000 visitors spent the Lantern Festival in the Palace Museum. 46. Beijing's Palace Museum closes at around 4：30 p. m. in ________ A. spring B. summer C. autumn D. winter 47. To celebrate the Lantern Festival, Beijing's Palace Museum opened after dark for ________ only. A. one night B. two nights C. three nights D. four nights 48.

Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Nobody received a ticket as a gift. B. The Palace Museum never opened after dark. C. Zhang Zhifu grew up in Beijing. D. No visitors went to the Palace Museum in 2019. B More and more children have to stay at home alone today. It is important for them to know how to keep themselves safe when they are at home by themselves. If you are one of them, you 4 should remember the following rules： Arrive at your home When you come home, you should check the doors and windows to see if they are broken. If everything appears normal, you should go inside and lock the door quickly. If something seems strange, or someone may be in the house, you should go to your neighbor's house and call the police. Answer the door If someone knocks at the door, you should identify (识别) the visitor before you open the door. This can be done by saying, “Who is it？” You can also look through the peephole (透 视孔) to see if you know the visitor. If you don't know the person, don't open the door. You should not allow strangers to enter the house or give out any information about your family. You should be polite when you talk with the stranger, but remain behind the closed door. If the visitor wants to speak to your parents, you should say that your parents can't come to the door at the moment, and offer to take a message. 50. More and more children have to ____ today. A. stay at home alone B. go out alone C. stay at home with parents D. go out with parents 51. What should you do first when you come home? A. Check the windows and doors. B. Go to a neighbor's house.

Starting with a baseball as the center, he painted layer (层) after layer. After over 20，000 layers of paint, the ball weighs over 1，300 pounds. Visitors can paint the balls themselves and become part of history. Dinosaur Park The land can be found outside Rapid City. On a hill overlooking the city, dinosaurs made out of brightly painted concrete (混凝土) stand guard. The park was built as a work project in 1936 by Debbie Sardone. The five dinosaurs are life­sized and can be seen from miles away. The Museum of Dirt The museum is the idea of Glenn Johanson. Labeled glass bottles contain dirt from the Great Wall of China and sand from a desert in Saudi Arabia and Omaha Beach in France. Johanson has collected material from the Amazon River and from Times Square after a New Year's Eve celebration, lava (火山岩) from Mt Fuji in Japan and shells from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Best of all, visiting this museum is free. Paper House Ellis Stenman built a two­room house almost completely out of newspapers in 1922. At that time, “recycling” wasn't even a word yet. The house was framed (框起来) with wood, but the walls were made of 215 layers of newspapers. The furniture was also made of newspapers. In all, it used about 100，000 newspapers. 54.
