Poster: Music and Our Body

Welcome to our school science corner! We are glad to share some fun facts about music and our body.

When you listen to the music you like best, your brain will produce a special chemical. It is the same chemical that brings you happy feelings when you enjoy tasty food or win a game. This kind of chemical can make you relaxed and full of joy in your daily life.

Music can also influence how your body feels. Fast music with strong beats can raise your energy level (精力水平). It is a good choice when you run or do sports. Slow and quiet music can slow down your heart and help you reduce (减少) stress after long hours of schoolwork.

Here are some useful tips for us students:

· It’s better not to listen to music while doing homework. You may enjoy soft music to relax yourself after schoolwork.

· You can choose lively music before running to get more energy.

· Never listen to loud music for a long time. It is harmful to your ears.

May 1st is Labor Day in China. It is a special day to honor (致敬) all hard - working people. This year, I decided to spend the holiday in a more meaningful way.

On the first morning, I helped my mother clean our house. I swept the floor, cleaned the tables and watered the plants on the balcony. At first, I thought it would be easy, but after half an hour my arms felt heavy and my back began to ache. My mother smiled and said, “Housework looks simple, yet it takes patience and care.” Hearing this, I nodded and continued working.

In the afternoon, my father and I went to the community garden. Some elderly people were planting vegetables there. We helped them carry water and put the young plants into the soil (土壤). An old grandpa thanked us and said, “Young people who are willing to work are always welcome.” When I saw the green plants standing in a row, I felt a strong sense of achievement.

On the second day, I tried to cook a meal for my parents. I cut the vegetables and made tomato soup, but I put too much salt in it. To my surprise, they ate it happily and said, “Our child is growing up!” Their words made me realize how much love is hidden in daily housework.

Labor Day is not only about having a holiday. It reminds us to respect every worker, from street cleaners to teachers, from doctors to farmers. Their hard work makes our life better. It also encourages young people to develop good labor habits and take responsibility for their families and society.

For Chinese people, Labor Day means rest, thanks and growth. It teaches us that hard work is valuable, and every pair of hard - working hands can create a better future.

6. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. The community garden. B. Growth. C. Labor Day. D. The hand.

7. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Working with old people is the most meaningful holiday activity.

B. We must share our holiday plans with family members.

C. Meaningful labor helps us grow and know more about workers.

D. Simple housework is easier than growing vegetables.

Visiting museums can be interesting but tiring, which is a common feeling for most visitors. You may spend hours getting there, waiting in a long line for a ticket, and walking with big crowds in the museum that are noisy and crowded. But new kinds of technologies are changing museums and the way people visit them all over the world.

Thanks to the Google Art Project, you may “walk through” museums while staying at home and enjoying a cold drink. It uses Google’s Street View technology that helps people view places far away online. You can see how paintings are hung and exhibits (陈列品) are placed as you move virtually (虚拟地) through the museums. You can also read the introductions of the works and download (下载) clear pictures of them. So far 560 museums around the world have joined the project, such as the British Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, which are world - famous museums.

Some apps may also make your museum trips more fun. The Palace Museum designed a few apps. One is called Han Xizai’s Night Feast (《韩熙载夜宴图》). Users can see the big picture of Han’s house and take a closer look at the people and clothes in the picture by touching the screen. The Museum of Modern Art in New York City also made an app that allows users to draw their own modern art works.

However, if you still want to visit museums in person, you probably won’t be disappointed (失望). Many museums are trying to allow visitors to interact with the exhibits using 3D technology. The exhibition in Shenzhen shows a 3D copy of ancient Chinese bronze bells (青铜编钟) that were used for music in ancient China. Visitors can “play” the bells by simply touching them.

With new technologies like this, visiting museums has become easier and more fun. So why not try it yourself?

8. What can visitors do with the help of the Google Art Project?

A. Visit some museums online at home.

B. Play ancient bronze bells in a museum.

C. Draw their own modern art works on an app.

D. Buy tickets for world - famous museums online.

9. What can users do with the app Han Xizai’s Night Feast?

A. They can play ancient Chinese bronze bells.

B. They can see details (细节) of the people and clothes in the picture.

C. They can download clear pictures of famous paintings.

D. They can walk through the Palace Museum with Street View.

10. What does the writer think of new technologies in museums?
