On April 26, 2017, a big Chinese ship caught the eyes of the whole world. China's first homemade aircraft carrier(航空母舰)hit the water in Dalian, Liaoning.
The new big ship is China's second aircraft carrier. It was designed in China and built in China, too. It is about 315meters long and 75meters wide. That is a bit larger than three soccer fields.
An aircraft carrier is like an airport on the sea. It can carry planes and troops to war. Planes fly from and land back on it, and soldiers work and live on it, too.

For example, a basic aircraft carrier is made of 60,000tons of steel. It also uses complex(综合的) technologies, including radar, electrics, mechanics and weapons. Finally, it takes years to build.
Today, not many countries own an aircraft carrier or have the ability to build one. China has become the seventh country in the world that can build an aircraft carrier by itself, after the USA, Russia, England, France, Italy and Spain.

More Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public,allowing people to enjoy reading during normal time and the vacations.
But for some students,including Wang Ling,21,in Sun Yat﹣sen University,this practice has caused headaches."Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing than reading,"said Wang.
"They sometimes even bring their kids along,and take photos as if it were a place of interest."
Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times.Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China.
However,this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public.They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior.

Will there be alternative(可替代的)ways to share those libraries?Some experts consider that university libraries can stop the public from entering certain areas."We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students,"said Zhu Lina,library director in Jinan University.
Working together with the community library is another solution(解决方法)."It's possible that a member of the public can order a book in our library over the Internet,"Ge Jianxiong,the library director in Fudan University said."We'll send it to a public libraries close to their home."

Is it possible to put millions of years of the world's history into one building?The British Museum seems to think so.
"A history of the World in 100 Objects",an exhibition about rare and ancient object from the world,has made it a success.
The British Museum says it owns at least 8 million historical objects.But why choose these 100 objects to tell stories of our world's history?

"The objects had to cover the whole world,from a cooking pot to a golden galleon,from a Stone Age
tool to a credit card."MacGregor wrote.
The collection includes many important objects from China.There is a banknote from the Ming Dynasty,showing China as the first country to use paper money.
But it's not just ancient things that are shown.Among them are some modern things like a solar﹣powered lamp and even a throne made of weapons created by an African artist.
