    The British Museum is the biggest museum in the world. Inside, you feel smaller than usual. There are many things to see.

    The story of the British Museum goes back three hundred years to one unusual man, Sir Hans Sloane, doctor of King George II. The doctor collected books, drawings, clothes, money, animals, flowers, things from all over the world. The doctor wanted everything to stay together when he died, so that people could come and have a look. The British Museum began. King George II gave his library, and the museum started to grow.

    The British Museum opened in 1759, six years after Sir Hans Sloane died. At first the museum was only open three days a week and only ten people could enter in an hour. There wasn't much time to see things. Visitors had to run through the rooms.

    By about 1800, things began to get better. Wonderful statues, three thousand years old, arrived from Egypt. King George IV sold all his books to the museum secretly. A hundred years ago not only old books but also new ones arrived at the museum, and more people came to read them. Since then many famous men have written and studied there, like Karl Marx. And the library is growing faster and faster. There are four kilometers of new shelves every year and there are about two million visitors every year.

A new study has shown how the color of a bowl can influence the taste of the food it holds. 

Although it is hard to say what a picky eater (挑食的人) is like, the type may include people who have a limited diet, who have strong likes or dislikes for certain food, who require food to be prepared in a special way, who aren't willing to accept new food, or who show signs of all these features. 

According to this new study, food was put into two groups in red, blue, or white bowls. While the color made no difference in taste for non-picky eaters, the picky. eaters reported changes in their taste senses-based-on-the color of the bowl being used. Snacks in red and blue bowls were thought to have more salt than those in white bowls, while snacks in red bowls were less pleasant than those in the other bowls. 

 "This knowledge can be useful for those who want to try more kinds of foods," says Lorenzo Stafford, a psychologist from the University of Portsmouth in the UK. "For example, if you want to encourage a picky eater to try some bitter (苦的) vegetables, you can try to put them on a pink plate or in a yellow bowl, because this can give him or her a sweet feeling."

At first it may seem strange that a bowl color can influence the taste-of food, but the research before has shown how light and music can influence eating habits. All of our senses are connected, including taste. 

 "This new study can help in treating food neophobia--the unwillingness to try new food, "the team of the study says, and further studies will be required to find out more relationships between colors and foods. 

 "Through further studies, maybe we can decide ways to help actively influence a person's diet, and as a result, their health in mind and body." says Stafford. 

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Zigong, in Sichuan Province, is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. 

"Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps, " said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. "Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker. " Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan's team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. 

What's more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. "Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works, " said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people's heart. 

The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival's success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It's believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future.

 When did you last say"I love you"to your father? If you can't remember, then you can get the chance this Father's Day in June.

 Generally compared to a mother, a father represents (代表) qualities like independence, confidence, courage and adventure. Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science. Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control(控制) their feelings.

 For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn't like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. "Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability of leading and getting along with others, " Gates once said in an interview.

 The US actor Will Smith learnt important lessons from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. "You say,'I'm going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid.' You do that every single day. And soon you have a wall, "he said on a TV show.

"One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters, "the British poet George Herbert(1593—1633) once said. Do you agree?
