As we know，museums are buildings where many valuable and important exhibits （展品） are kept so that people can go and see them．For example，art museums are places where people can learn about （1） v cultures．More and more popular "design museums" that are opening today，however，perform quite a different role．Unlike most art museums，the design museum shows exhibits that are easily found in our daily life ，such as fridges and washing （2） m ．

"Oh， no， I don't want to send him away，" a（13）____ Dick with a smile． "You see， whenever I （14）____（叫醒） the man， he asks for the bill， and when I bring it to him， he p（15）____ it． Then he goes back to sleep again．"
Dick was a smart young man whose parents were not rich．He had to work in his s（76） time．He managed to go to university，but it was so expensive to study there（77） he found it necessary to get（78） （至少） two part-time jobs at the same time so as to（79） （确保）that he could get enough money for his studies．
One summer he got a job in a shop which sold meat（80） the day﹣time and another job in a hospital at n（81） ．On the one hand，in the shop，he learned to（82） （切碎） meat quite nicely，so the（83） [bɒs]of the shop often let Dick do all the business while he was out．In the hospital，（84） （另一方面）he was，of course，only allowed to do some simple work，such（85） helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another．Both in the shop（86） at the hospital，Dick had to w（87） white clothes．

The villagers in Mhangeni， Africa． faced a very big challenge（挑战）．They didn't have a school for their kids．
Then the village elder thought of an （1）i ． He said that there was an old， abandoned （废弃的）farmhouse． It could be changed into classrooms after cleaning and furnishing（装设备）it． All the villagers were （2）p with his suggestion and started the project immediately． The parents repaired the broken walls． Some villagers （3）d the house into three classrooms by using pieces of wood． The others helped make desks and chairs for the students． Still， there was much more work to do． But the rains were coming． They had to （4）s working for the school as it was now the best time for them to plant．

The news about the project （6）s and many people knew it． Two teachers who worked for the country's Department of Education arrived to help out． and two foreign visitors were also touched （感动） by the children's （7）a ．They donated money for them to buy textbooks and stationery．

How do we know the time？ A clock，a watch or a cell phone can help us． However many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy． Over the centuries people have developed different w（1） of telling the time．
About 5，500years ago， the Egyptians i（2） the sun clock． This was a tall stone structure． Its shadow （影子）showed the movement of the s（3） they were able to determine（测定）midday．
About 3，500years ago，the Egyptians made a sundial． It was smaller than the sun clock and could measure （测量）the time for half a day． On c（4） days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial．
Water clocks were the f（5） clocks not to use the sun． The idea is simple． Water flows（流动） from one container（容器）to another． When the water reaches a certain l（6） it moves a lever （控制杆）and this shows the hours． The Egyptians used water clocks about 3，400years ago． These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China but they f （7） to keep accurate（精确的）time．
In the 13th century，the mechanical clock was invented． This was more accurate， b（8） was expensive to make． Over the next few centuries it was developed． For example， springs（发条）were added around 1500． This i（9） accuracy and allowed clocks to be smaller．
In 1927， the first quartz clock was developed． Clocks became cheaper to build and own． People began depending on them more and more to2 run businesses， markets and so on．
More recently， in1956， came the digital clock． And nowadays satellites（人造卫星）send our cell phones the time to the exact second． There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping but some things never c（10） ． Man of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not missing appointments．

Lan's hometown was hit by a（82）s earthquake on April 20．At least 196 people were killed and more than 11，000 were injured．Many people became homeless．Soldiers and doctors（83）q arrived in the area，saving people and rebuilding homes．Lots of money was sent there to help all those in need．
Although we can't prevent （阻止） an earthquake from happening，we can use some methods to （84）r harm．During an earthquake，do not jump out of high buildings because it is very （85）d ．Another method is to cover your head and neck （86）u a strong table or desk．If there is no shelter （躲避处） nearby，you can also stay by a wall，and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands．And then you must keep calm and stay there （87）u the shaking stops．
Japan is a （88）c which lies on the earthquake belt （地震带） and it is very good at dealing with earthquakes．From a very young age，the Japanese are already taught how to survive （幸存） them．Students often receive earthquake training．Almost in every Japanese family you can find a survival kit （救生装备） with a flash-light，a radio，water and enough food for several days．This helps people to stay （89）a after an earthquake．
"There should be more safety（90）t at schools in our country，"said Xu Jiannong，an education expert in Beijing．There is no more truth than this when one's life is the most important of all．
Pandas are now a symbol of China．Many people around the world （81）l pandas，too．Scientists say there are now fewer than 2，000 pandas living in the forests．Another 300 or so live in 2008 or research centers in China and other countries．Pandas do not have many babies，maybe only one every two years．The babies often （82）d from illnesses and do not live very long．Adult pandas （83）s more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo．Many years （84）a ，there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China，but then humans started to （85）c down these forests．As the forests get smaller and other human activities cause more problems，pandas cannot find enough to eat and they are having fewer babies．Luckily，Chinese government is taking actions to protect pandas．
