    When Reginald Johnston, a British scholar (学者) , first walked into the Forbidden City in 1919, most palaces weren't allowed to visit. But a century later, when the People' Republic of China is to celebrate its 70th founding anniversary (周年纪念) in October, the 599-year-old palace complex (宫殿群) becomes the world's busiest museum.

    Open to the public

    In the old days, ordinary people could only imagine what it looked like inside. When the Palace Museum was founded in 1925, the public could go into the palaces. Now 80% of the total area of the museum is open to the public and it will increase to 8500 in 2025.

    Embracing (拥抱) the world

    "It felt like you were hit by hundreds of years of history," Christopher Allen from Britain said. "I begin to love its history and culture.”

The Forbidden City is becoming more open and friendly to visitors. It attracted about 3. 5 million visitors from abroad and 9 overseas (海外的) exhibitions were held in 2018. The Palace Museum exhibition becomes a cultural phenomenon (文化现象) everywhere it goes.

Attracting the youth

    On the Palace Museum's online store on Taobao, you can find more than 10, 000 cultural products. The ones with cute and humorous pictures of emperors are very popular.

    Some favourite products also go offline. For example, the "Kangxi Emperor's Favourite Chocolate", the most popular drink, always has people lining up (排队) to get a taste.

    As a child, Xu Jing often rode a bike in front of the Meridian Gate (午门) . "I had little memory of the museum then, but now I am more willing to visit it after watching several popular TV shows about the museum," she said.

Life Is Full of the Unexpected

In Ashburn, Virginia, Rivera, 27, was running on a road at about 6 p.m. on Thursday. A 71-year-old woman from South Riding, Virginia, was driving a Toyota SUV on the road. And a deer came from somewhere suddenly.

The SUV knocked into the deer, which sent the animal flying into Rivera. She only remembers running on the road and then coming into an ambulance (救护车). The doctor, Emily, told her she needed to cut away one of her favorite running shirts. She told Rivera the shirt had deer blood all over it. "That's when I knew a deer was part of this accident, and it's amazing! Goddess. I'm still alive and I am lucky." Rivera said.

The deer died at the scene (现场). The driver was treated at Inova Loudoun Hospital and recovered. Rivera, who was taken to the same hospital and also recovered on Friday evening.

Rivera had finished five miles on Thursday in her orange running shoes and she was nearly getting to her home when the accident happened.

A woman passerby called 911 and used Rivera's phone to call her family. "Many thanks for her help. It is a pity (遗憾) that the deer lost its life in the accident." Rivera continued, "How should I retell this tale? Maybe it's hard to know where to start. Thanks to god, we are all right."

Here is some "breaking" news: the International Olympic Committee(IOC)has added(增加)breaking(霹雳舞)to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games! 

Breaking might be one of the very unusual sports to be added to the Games, as it's often seen as more of an art than a sport. 

The dance style first appeared(出现)on the streets of New York in the1970s. Performers dance to hip-hop music while using different movements. In the1980s, breaking swept around the world when it was adopted by pop stars such as Michael Jackson. Jackson's moonwalk became popular among teenagers worldwide. 

Why did the IOC choose breaking? Over the past few years, the Olympics has become less interesting to young people. The IOC is trying to make the Games more "youthful", with sports that young people actually do in their spare time. "We want to take sports to the youth," said IOC President. 

To be added to the Olympics, a sport must be widely practiced by men in at least 75 countries and by women in no fewer than 40 countries. Breaking certainly meets this standard(标准), according to The Sydney Morning Herald. It is also competitive(有竞争力的)and requires strict training just like other sports. Dancers need to have the strong upper body and core(核心)strength. 

"I train at least 10 hours a week, and I've been training since I was a young kid," top Australian break dancer Lowe said. 

"It's great that it gives us more recognition(认可)as a sport," said British break dancer Karam. "Now, the efforts of break dancers are gradually accepted and even admired by a growing number of people. And for the Olympics, it will attract young people who may not follow some of the traditional sports."

If you've been studying for a while, you'll notice that there is more than one type of "English". The website, Big Seven Travel, made a list of the world's 50 most attractive accents(口音), and many different kinds of English made the list. 

The main reasons that affect the way people speak a language are geography — where they are in the world, and society — the way their communities speak. As a result, English has many differences in vocabulary and slang(俚语). 

Located in two different places, the US and the UK provide great examples. They often have different words for the same things. The US people call the back part of a car, used for carrying big and heavy things or suitcases, the"trunk", but in the UK, people call it the"boot". In the US, the word"boot" means a wheel clamp(车轮夹锁) that police put on a car. 

Slang also causes confusion (困惑). The US slang is hugely different thanks to many kinds of people who have moved to the country. African- American slang is especially confusing for foreign language learners. It uses its own grammar. For example, "a person who is awake to reality" would be called"a woke person". Southern American slang also can be confusing. "I'm fixing to fix it" means"I'm getting ready to fix it". Australian slang, meanwhile, is all about abbreviations(缩写词). They say"sanga" for"sandwich", "brekkie" for"breakfast", and"arvo" for"afternoon". It can make you wonder if either of these countries is actually speaking English. 

English writer Virginia Woolf once wrote, "Language is wine upon the lips. " The next time you're speaking English with someone, check the accent on the bottle!

 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①These days, a growing number of robots are invented. They can not only do difficult tasks in factories but also provide support at home or school. 

②Have you imagined a robot that can dance with you? Some educational robots can do that and they offer help in learning and problem-solving. In classrooms, these robots encourage students and bring them fun. At home, they can be the helpers for the students to improve creativity. For example, aNAO robot is a human-like robot with a cute face and two feet. It's about two-feet tall and can talk, move, and even dance. It helps students learn languages and programming. 

③Some companion robots are able to help your grandparents live more happily. Among them, the robot named The Five should be one of the most excellent companion robots. It was known to the public for the first time on September 24th, 2024. Different from other robots, The Five has got four legs with wheeled feet. Although its face looks small and strange, its powerful fingers enable it to lift an adult weighing 65 kg. It can help the elderly with many tasks including getting up, walking and carrying heavy things. Although it hasn't been widely used yet, it has already been tested successfully in a nursing home. There is no doubt that The Five can bring much convenience to our life. 

④However, there is still something robots can't do. For example, they don't have human feelings or creativity. Unable to think independently, they can only follow programmed instructions. Also, they are usually expensive to produce. 

⑤As modern technology improves, robots will become smarter in the near future, and people will enjoy an easier and more comfortable life.
