Visiting 300,000 Works of Art in Paris Right Now
Stuck at home? You can still visit thousands of the greatest artworks in the City of Light for free.
The cultural board of Paris’ free city museums sorted through the city’s top public museums to share
must-see artworks.
The museums
Two are great writer’s homes — Balzac and Victor Hugo — filled with period details as well as
art designs. The Catacombs and the Crypts have collections of sculptures made out of bones. The
best known is likely the Petit Palais with well-known works, including Claude Monet’s Sunset on the
Seine.
The artists
You can try searching for the most successful or the ones you’re most interested in, or just start
wandering, which is a great way to find fascinating paintings by lesser-known, but no less talented,
artist like George Desvallieres.
The works of art
Don’t know where to start? Search for Paul Cézanne’s romantic paintings of women, depicting
two young women lounging on the banks of the Seine which can be downloaded for free on the Paris
Musées site.4

Say the phrase “female environmental pioneers,” and among the names you will hear are Rachel
Carson, who wrote pesticides; chimpanzee expert Jane Goodall; and 17-year-old climate-change
activist Greta Thunberg. To mark Women’s History Month, Kidspost is sharing the story of an
environmental pioneer who is not that famous but equally remarkable.
At age 3, Sylvia Earle found her lifelong passion while playing on a beach. A wave suddenly
came up and knocked her over.
“My mother ... saw the big smile on my face and let me run back in,” Earle told a TV
interviewer years later. “And I’ve been running back in ever since.”
Earle is now 84 years old and has spent a lifetime exploring the world’s oceans and working to
protect them from pollution, overfishing and other threats.
She is a pioneer in using scuba gear. Scuba gear lets divers take breath underwater. She holds
the world record for the deepest untethered walk on the ocean floor at 1,250 feet. This means she was
not tied to anything when she was walking underwater. During this exploration, she planted a U.S.
flag.
In 1998, Time magazine gave Earle its first Heroes for the Planet award. She was the first
female chief scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It is the U.S.
ocean and atmosphere group. She was also elected to the National Women’s Hall of Fame.
Earle has spent her life teaching people about the ocean. She notes how much it affects the
weather, and what we eat and drink. She has something to say to those who don’t understand why the5
ocean matters. “They should know that with every breath they take, every drop of water they drink,
the ocean is touching them,” Earle says. “You should treat the ocean as if your life depends on it —
because it does.”
24. What does Earle’s lifelong passion refer to?
A. Teaching people how to dive. B. Writing articles for magazines.
C. Exploring and protecting oceans. D. Providing equipment for divers.
25. What do we know about Earle from the text?
A. Earle is a world record holder.
B. Earle’s mother is in support of her work.
C. Earle is a remarkable British ocean explorer.
D. Earle is the only female chief scientist at NOAA.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Earle?
A. brave and conservative. B. devoted and courageous.
C. determined and rigid. D. ambitious and modest.
27. Which of the following statement will Earle agree with according to the text?
A. People should stop overfishing and eating seafood.
B. The ocean plays a significant role in human’s life.
C. The weather has a far-reaching effect on the ocean.
D. The exploration of the ocean can be done without limit.
C
Cryonics is the practice of cooling dead organic tissue. This is used on humans or animals that
have recently died. The hope is to bring them back to life in the near future. By law, it can only be
performed on humans after they are legally dead. Many scientists and doctors think cryonics is
totally morally unacceptable. However, there are also many who support cryonics.
Supporters of cryonics hope that future technology will improve. Molecular technology is
especially hoped to reverse (逆转) the early stages of clinical death. It is hoped that this will enable
the repair of tissue on a very tiny level. It could also allow damaged tissues and organs to
regenerate. They also assume that disease and aging will one day be reversible.
These supporters want to store the memory and identity from the brain of people who have
recently died. Cryonics attempts to do this by using liquid that preserves the brain. If this is done
before cooling, it will prevent injury. This cooling liquid saves the fine cell structures of the brain
where memory and identity exist.
Critics of cryonics think this process is a waste of time and money. They base their opinions on
the current level of science. It is true that cells, tissues, blood vessels, and some small animal organs
can be reversibly preserved. Some frogs can even survive for a few months in a partially frozen state6
if they are kept a few degrees above freezing. But this is not true cryopreservation. There is no proof
that the identity and memory of a person can be restored after death has occurred.
Critics also think that if it were possible to bring dead people back to life, it would cause many
social problems. Critics worry it would cause a huge overpopulation problem. Many also think trying
to reverse death is immoral because it is against the will of their God.
28. What can we know about cryonics from paragraph 1?
A. Cryonics is used before people’s death.
B. All scientists aren’t in favor of the use of cryonics.
C. Laws forbid the use of cryonics on legally dead people.
D. Cryonics tries to cool dead organic tissue by using liquid.
29. What does the underlined word “regenerate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. copy. B. return. C. freeze. D. regrow.
30. Why do critics oppose the use of cryonics?
A. It will make people’s memory lost.
B. Injury will occur during the process.
C. There is scientific uncertainty about it.
D. It goes along with their religious belief.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The use of cryonics has a bright future.
B. Cryonics is still a controversial practice.
C. The practice of cryonics is limited by law.
D. There is an advance in medical technology.
D
During the winter in the Southern Hemisphere, a blue point of light shines overhead. The
brilliant point on the sky, which looks like a bright star, is actually two stars in close orbit —
accompanied by the closest known black hole to Earth.
The newly discovered black hole is about 1,011 light-years from our solar system in the star
system HR 6819. Published today in Astronomy & Astrophysics, the object is locked in an orbit with
two visible stars. It is estimated about four times the mass of the sun and about 2,500
light-years closer than the next black hole. “It seems like it’s been hiding in plain sight,” says
astronomer Kareem El-Badry, a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley, who
specializes in binary star (双子星) systems but wasn’t involved with the study. “HR 6819 is such a
bright star (system) that people have been studying it since the 80s, but it seems like it’s had some
surprises.”
“If you find one that is very close to you, and you assume you’re not special, then they must be7
out there everywhere,” says lead study author Thomas Rivinius, an astronomer at the European
Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile. Researchers have long estimated that the Milky Way is home
to hundreds of millions of black holes, objects whose gravitational fields (引力场) are so strong, not
even light can escape. But finding these dark objects has proven extremely difficult. Dozens of black
holes in the galaxy have been spotted “feeding” on nearby clouds of gas — a process that sends out
x-rays as the material moves around the edges of the black hole. But the majority of black holes in
our galaxy cannot be seen, so the only way to find them is by observing their gravitational effects on
surrounding objects.
In follow-up work, researchers led by study co-author Petr Hadrava aim to study the light given
off by HR 6819 and understand the precise identity of the two close stars.
32. What do we know about the newly discovered black hole?
A. It moves with two other stars.
B. It came into being in the 1980s.
C. It weighs much more than earth.
D. It can be seen easily during the winter.
33. What can we infer from Thomas Rivinius’s words in paragraph 3?
A. Most black holes are common.
B. More black holes can be found.
C. Black holes are difficult to learn.
D. Black holes exist in star systems.
34. What will scientists probably do next?
A. Learn more about the two close stars.
B. Analyze the light around the black hole.
C. Observe the influence of black holes on stars.
D. Study the black holes in the system of HR 6819.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Star System in Universe
B. Two Special Stars in the Same Orbit
C. The Closest Black Hole to the Earth
D. The Biggest Black Hole in the Milky Way

H ow to H elp a Friend with Depression
If you have a friend who is suffering from depression, you may be unsure about what you8
should do to help. There are several ways that you can help a friend with depression.
36
As soon as you suspect that your friend is suffering from depression, you should encourage him
or her to see a doctor. Your friend may be denying that there is a problem or maybe even
embarrassed to admit that there is a problem. The extra encouragement of a friend may be all that
your friend needs to seek help.
Supporting your friend
Depression can make people feel isolated and like no one cares. Even if you have shown your
concern by doing things to help your friend, he or she may need to hear you say that you are there for
them in order to believe it. Let your friend know that you are available. 37
Depression can also make a person feel worthless, but you can use encouraging words to
support your friend until your friend remembers his or her worth again. 38 Avoid saying
unnecessary things like, “It’s all in your head.” or “Snap out of it!”
Moving beyond depression with your friend
As your friend begins to feel better, keep your friend moving beyond depression by planning
some fun outings. 39 And make plans to do those things so that your friend will always
have something to look forward to.
40 Recent studies have shown it helps to ease the symptoms of depression and make
people who are depressed feel more connected to others. You probably know what makes your friend
laugh better than anyone else does, so make sure that you use that knowledge to laugh with them on
a regular basis.
A. Those who laugh last laugh best.
B. Choose activities that you both enjoy.
C. Encouraging your friend to talk to you.
D. Helping your friend get treatment for depression.
E. Laughter is known as the best medicine for a reason.
F. Therefore, they can contact you right away if they need you.
G. You could say, “You are such a gifted artist. I really admire your talent.”

I often wanted to look like as the slim girls on TV even though I knew it was impossible. To lose
weight, I tried no-fat, low-fat, only bananas — I almost went madly.
Then I read an article what said instead of asking “Am I fat?” I should be asking “Am I fit?” I
didn’t know a letter could make such difference! Once I started thinking about fit rather than weight,
things began to change. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed, I adds healthy foods to my meals. I
could still have a burger now and then, but I would add a salad or an apple.
Finally, I stopped compare myself with actresses and models. Instead, I made a list of the thing I
liked about myself. By being positive about me and my body, I became both happier or healthier.11
