The Museum of Classical Archaeology is an ideal destination for school trips. We offer a free education service tailored for students of all ages.

Our Cambridge museum is a great place to bring primary school groups, especially those studying the Ancient Greeks or Romans. We can also support both the Classics and the Art curriculum (课程) at secondary level: students studying the ancient world will benefit from student tours, while those studying art can improve their drawing skills.

Our Education Coordinator is happy to work with you to plan your school trip. We can lead the group or, if you prefer, you can self-lead.

Planning Your Visit

The museum is conveniently located for Cambridge schools, but those traveling from farther away can combine their trip with visits to other Cambridge museums. For schools unable to visit in person, the museum now offers virtual sessions led by the Education Coordinator, available for both primary and secondary levels.

To book an in-person or virtual visit, please use our online booking request form. Our Education Coordinator will contact you to discuss your options. Please note: we ask that all school trips are booked at least seven days in advance.

My father loved lists. Over 25 years, he recorded 539 books he read and 322 episodes of Book notes on C-SPAN, which he watched every Sunday night. He also kept grocery lists for his mini-fridge — Pepsi, coffee, heavy cream — and daily tasks. These notes filled small notebooks, always near his reading chair. He wrote them until December 31, 2004, when cancer stopped him. After his death, I gathered the notebooks into a box. For years, I couldn’t bear to open them.

Born in 1927 in Lowell, Massachusetts, my father was the son of a leather factory worker and grandson of an Irish immigrant who cleaned horse manure from the streets. Despite his humble beginnings, he was brilliant. After a summer in the leather factory, he graduated high school at 16 and went on to Boston College. He served in World War II and later earned degrees in physics. Then he worked at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory, moved his family from Lowell to Boston, and sent his kids to private colleges. It seemed he had left Lowell behind — but not so. Deep down, he saw himself simply as a working-class Lowell kid who had just read a lot of books.

He didn’t travel much, and didn’t feel the need. When I asked if he regretted not seeing the world, he defended himself: “I’ve sailed the Atlantic in stormy winds, climbed the Himalayas, and stared down wild animals.” Then he added, “I read.” Books were his world. From them, he learned to survive landslides, shark attacks, and even gorilla attacks. He had what he called “a rich inner life” — and it was true.

Shortly before his death, he opened a small purple notebook and began one last list. It described details from 1930s Lowell — things lost in time. Twenty years later, I found it. In his flowing handwriting, Dad reached back to Lowell — a time long gone, now captured only in memory. Lost and only in memory — that was how I was experiencing Dad now. Squinting my eyes, I saw not just the city he loved, but the quiet, extraordinary man I called Dad.

24. Why are the details of the father’s lists mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A. To reflect his ordered and thoughtful life.

B. To show his love for literature and cuisine.

C. To reveal his reliance on control.

D. To imply his fear of forgetting.

25. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?

A. He felt torn about his background. B. He struggled with his identity.

C. He stayed humble and rooted. D. His success originated from his roots.

26. What does the father’s quote in paragraph 3 mainly reveal?

A. His dream of global travel. B. His desire for real adventure.

C. His pride in inner journeys. D. His escape from physical world.

27. What is the main theme of the passage?

A. Pursuit and action.  B. Loss and regret.

C. Ambition and escape.  D. Memory and identity.

A new study gives all of us some extra motivation when it comes to getting outside and exercising: every day you manage to fit in an additional one-hour walk, you could be boosting your lifespan by an extra six hours. That’s the approximate benefit if you’ re currently in the 25 percent least active people in the US, according to fitness tracker data analyzed by a team led by researchers from Griffith University in Australia.

If you’ re in the top 25 percent, an extra walk isn’t as much of a boost — you’ve already received most of the health benefits from exercise — but the study also highlights and quantifies some of the key benefits of an active life. “If all individuals were as active as the top 25 percent of the population, Americans over the age of 40 could live an extra 5.3 years on average,” write the researchers in their published paper. “It can be any type of exercise to reach that top quartile (四分位数) but would roughly be the equivalent of just about three hours of walking per day.”

The team analyzed wearable activity data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) in the US, which recruits 5,000 volunteers a year. To calculate how changes in activity levels can influence mortality (死亡) risk, researchers referenced the NHANES results against a life-table model (where mortality rates are tracked at specific age points) and previous research into exercise and lifespan. In this particular study, data on 824 participants were excluded because they didn’t wear the trackers for long enough.

Suggesting that exercise leads to a longer life is nothing new, but quantifying and simplifying the benefits can grab attention — whether it’s five minutes a day to reduce blood pressure or nine seconds a week to grow muscle. Now there’s a new target to aim for: an extra hour’s walk a day. If you find that too discouraging a prospect, remember that any amount of exercise makes a difference to health and well- being.

28. What does the new study find?

A. Walking can cure some diseases effectively.

B. Perhaps daily walking can extend our lifespan.

C. Increasing exercise mostly benefits active people.

D. The less active people must exercise an hour a day.

29. How much daily walking is roughly needed to reach the top 25% active group?

A. Nine seconds. B. One hour. C. Three hours. D. Five hours.
