Our dog Abbey died last month. My 4-year-old daughter Lucy missed her a lot and asked if we could write a (A) __________to God to make sure he could (B) look after Abbey well. I told Lucy that I thought we could, and she dictated (口述) these words:

Dear God,

    Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got (C) sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.

Love,

Lucy

    We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Lucy and addressed it to God/Heaven. Yesterday, we received a package addressed "To Lucy" with this note:

Dear Lucy,

    Abbey has arrived in heaven.

    (D) 她不再生病。Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. You don't need to worry about (E) her. She's being looked after very well here. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. You have a wonderful mother. I send my blessings every day and remember that I (F) __________you very much. (G) By the way, I'm easy to find. I am wherever there is love.

"Robots, drones(无人机) and AI will do around 90% of the housework by 2040, " scientists from King's College said. 

Mischa Dohler and Dr. Ian Pearson wrote a report to predict what homes will look like in 20 years. In it, they said that housework like washing the clothes and doing the dishes would be much easier because of technology progress(进步). If technology kept making progress, they expected that people would spend less than two hours a day in doing housework. 

But most British people still don't believe their predictions. Just 2/5 of the people think that house robots will become a reality(现实) by 2040. 

Booking a museum ticket this past summer was not easy. Visitors often found that tickets for the following week had been fully booked. 

     ★    To many museum staff, such crowds had not been seen before. So, what was behind this "museum craze"? 

Part of the reason is a growing interest in traditional Chinese culture, according to Guo Sike. He is in charge of the Confucius (孔子) Museum in Shandong province. 

"Nowadays, young Chinese love traditional Chinese culture," said Guo. He added that modern technologies have also played a role. They allow people to experience and appreciate traditional culture in more ways. 

The Shanxi History Museum in the city of Xi'an also saw an increase in visitors. The museum can only allow 12, 000 people to visit each day. Its ticket booking platform, however, received more than 600, 000 clicks a day. To solve the problem, the museum called off its Monday closures (闭馆). It was also open for more hours on Sundays. 

Popular study tours (游学) also helped bring more people to museums. The Confucius Museum saw many of these tours. In order to meet their needs, it organized several different activities. For example, there were exhibitions to show people the Kong family's customs. 

In Xi'an, the Qinqiang Opera was a popular subject of study tours. Local museums offered chances to learn the culture. For example, visitors could wear the performer's costumes and learn to sing the opera. 

"People love the more hands-on travel experiences," said Yang Rong from the Shanxi Tourism Association. 

"Museums are bridges. They connect the past, present and future," said Yang Chaoming a professor at Shandong University. "More and more people wish to. better learn about traditional Chinese culture through museum visits."
