There's a Museum for Everyone
What comes to mind when you think of a museum? Perhaps you an imposing building in a rather conventional（传统的）design made of high-quality stone? Perhaps you imagine a classic , such as the museum of natural history, the museum of fine art, or the national museum -- its exhibits displayed in a time - style and falling in line with tradition.
Some people might consider these customary institutions the best way to the future of typical educational topics. A museum of old breadboards, they may say, does not make up an orthodox（正统的）exhibition. But according to the Museum Association, a museum is defined as a place enabling "... people to collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment." And so of the 2500 estimated museum in the UK, a few are bound to be considered a little unconventional.
What about Neil Cole's Adventures in Science Fiction? This odd museum of classic science fiction was opened by the Neil Cole. "Science fiction has become more mainstream so I thought people might want to see this," says Mr Cole.
If clocks are more to your , why not visit the Cuckoo-land Museum? Set up by brothers Roman and Maz Piekarski, this collection of over 600 cuckoo（布谷鸟）clocks is considered to be the largest of its kind in the world -- and all from the Black Forest region in Germany.
Finally, you could visit the Victor Wynd Museum of Curiosities in London. This institution reverses the trend of educating visitors through explanations alongside its exhibits. Instead, it displays all of its treasures, which include dodo bones, shrunken heads and a collection of McDonald's Happy Meal toys, with no explanation at all.

They're still kids, and although there's a lot that the experts don't yet know about them, one thing they do agree on is that what the kids use and expect from their world has changed rapidly. And it's all because of technology.
To the psychologists, sociologists, and media experts who study them, their digital devices set this new group {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, even from their Millennial (千禧年的) elders, who are quite familiar with technology. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older brothers and sisters don't quite get. These differences may seem slight, but they{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the appearance of a new generation.
The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} between Millennialelders and this younger group was so evident to psychologist Larry Rosen that he has {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the birth of a new generation in a new book, Rewired: Understanding the ingeneration and the Way They Learn, out next month. Rosen says the technically {#blank#}5{#/blank#} life experience of those born since the early 1990s is so different from the Millennial elders he wrote about in his 2007 book, Me, MySpace and I: Parenting the Net Generation, that they distinguishthemselves as a new generation, which he hasgiven them the nickname of "ingeneration".
Rosen says portability is the key. They are{#blank#}6{#/blank#}from their wireless devices which allow them to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connected—even in class, where cell phones are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} banned.
Many researchers are trying to determine whether technology somehow causes the brains of young people to be wired differently. "They should be distracted and should perform more poorly than they do," Rosen says. "But findings show teens {#blank#}8{#/blank#} distractions much better than we would predict by their age and their brain development."
Because these kids are more devoted to technology at younger ages, Rosen says, the educational system has to change {#blank#}9{#/blank#} .
"The growth on the use of technology with children is very rapid, and we run the risk of being out of step with this generation as far as how they learn and how they think. We have to give them options because they want their world {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ," Rosen says.
