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？
It all started with a challenge（挑战）．
Neil MacGregor，who was once director of the British Museum，was asked by BBC to choose 100 objects from the museum's huge collection day．
MacGregor accepted，and took four years to choose each object himself．
In 2010，MacGregor appeared on BBC radio，giving a detailed（详细的）explanation of each object．The show was a big hit and all these 100 objects were shown in the British Museum．A book with photos of each object soon followed．
"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．
"Of course，the collection could only be'a'history of the world． But it is still a history that people in the present world need to know．"MacGregor wrote．

Earlier this year， China achieved a new milestone （里程碑） in space research． On January 3， 2019， Chang'e﹣4 became the first lunar probe （月球探测器） in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon．
The Earth's gravity （重力） slows the moon's rotation （自转）， matching it to the speed of its orbit （公转）． Therefore， the far side of the moon is almost "dark" and has never been seen． It's this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research． Being blown by solar （太阳的） winds， the far side may have the special minerals （矿物质 ）． For this reason， Chang'e﹣4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft． Chang'e﹣4 is also carrying flower seeds， potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon． If it is， then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future．
However， research of the "dark" side isn't easy． As the far side is blocked（阻断） off from us， radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked． This is why China's relay satellite （中继卫星） Queqiao was sent up in May， 2018． Thanks to Queqiao， the communication problem between Earth and Chang'e﹣4 has been well solved．
Power supply （电源供应） is also a challenge to the task． Chang'e﹣4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels． As we know， a lunar day has the length （长度） of 28 Earth days． After Chang'e﹣4 was sent up on December 8， 2018， it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels．
Luckily， everything goes well， Chang'e﹣4 has worked on the "dark" side for over 5 months． It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments．
The New York Times used the word " groundbreaking" to praise the task and wrote that "it will offer help to the history and development of the moon"．

The population of the world continues to increase， but in some areas the population is falling．This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe． In Russia， the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia's population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland （波兰）the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries．
One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle． All over Europe people， especially educated women， have a different attitude （态度）to children than their parents．"I have one child and she is enough for me， "said Galina Tereschkova， a doctor from Moscow． "My husband and I both work full﹣time． We can't imagine having more than one child． "Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all． "I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years， "said 19﹣year﹣old student Hana Markova from Prague． Her opinion is typical of 18﹣24 year old women everywhere in Europe．
In Poland， the population is going down for a different reason． A lot of people，usually aged between 20 and 30， are leaving the country to work abroad． Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain， Germany， Spain and Italy． Even so， the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down．
Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families． In France，women now receive nearly 1，000 a month for a year if they have a third child．Austrian women receive 700 a month for three years when they have their first child．

（3）What does Hana Markova want to do before she has children？

"A few of my friends have had the same experience lately，" Tian said.
In fact，poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59.2 percent to 70.6 percent in the first six months of 2020，according to the Ministry of Education.
