Thanks to its rich history, the Palace Museum is home to over 1.86 million cultural relics(文物). However. there aren't enough exhibition spaces for them. It's said that only 10,000 cultural relics can be shown to the public each year. That's why the Palace Museum decided to build a new branch.

The plan to build a branch in the north of the museum was first made in 2013. After years of preparation, the building work finally started in 2022 December. The branch is located in Xiyuhe,a village in Haidian District, Beijing. It's over 30 kilometres away from the Palace Museum, about an hour's drive.

With an area of more than 100,000 square metres, the northern branch will have an exhibition space of 60,000 square metres for cultural relics and over 35,000 square metres of restoration space. More than 20,000 to 30,000 relics could be shown in the new branch every year, and it will offer larger and better-equipped spaces to objects like silk pieces, which require greater attention.

"We'll have a much larger space to meet people's expectations and improve our ability to show ancient Chinese civilization(文明),"Mr. Wang, director of the Palace Museum, said in an interview. The new branch is expected to open to the public in 2025 and further meet the different needs of the public in the near future.

"We are going to build the branch into a museum inheriting(继承) ancient classics and leading the future at the same time, "said Mr. Zhang, chief architect(首席建筑师) of the new museum. It's believed that both the Palace Museum and the new branch will protect and carry forward the fine traditional Chinese culture. The completion of the new branch will provide new development space for the Palace Museum, making Beijing the national cultural centre and a "City of Museums".

A 13-year-old American has made a cheap machine that can help blind people read.

The blind can read by using Braille —- a system of small bumps(隆起物) that the blind touch to read the letters. The machine that makes these small bumps usually costs at least $2, 000. It is called Braille writer. The American schoolboy, Shubham Banerjee, made a new Braille writer from a Lego tool that lets people create robots. Banerjee has called his new machine the Braigo — a combination(组合) of the words Braille and Lego. It costs just $350. It works by changing electronic text into Braille and then printing it with computer or mobile machine.

Baneryee designed(设计) his Braigo last year for a school science exhibition. Since then. he has caught the interest of Silicon Valley in the US.

The big technology company Intel spent money on Banerjee's machine last November, but they did not say how much money they put in. Banerjee also got $35, 000 from his father to help him start the project. His father works as a computer engineer(工程师) at Intel. He spoke about why he gave so much money to his son, saying, "We as parents started to be interested more, thinking that he's on to something and this invention has to continue." Banerjee told the AP News, "My dream would probably be having most of the blind people.. using my Braigo."

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

①Do you know about rock(岩石)climbing? Do you take part in rock climbing? It is fun and also helps people forget worries. But it id not become a sport until ate I the 2 20ot century(世纪). Now it's popular all over the world. 

②If you do rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing both need lots of practice. Most people don't know that rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on(依靠) your body and others. 

③To climb successfully, you must know about some rules. One important rule is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. Another important rule is that your arms only keep yourself close to the rock face while your legs are pushing(推动) you up. The third rule is that the closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb. 

④Rock climbing is very exciting for people of different ages. Once you start to learn now to climb, you will find lots of fun. People who like games such as playing chess and cards may also love rock climbing because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. For anyone who wants to be in good shape(外形), rock climbing is a fun and good way. Anyone who enjoys difficult games and loves sports may think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby.
