Museums struggle with dropping income, so it's time to invent new ways of doing things. This article aims to offer some inspiration to drive sales and recover financially.
Pop-up Store
While in London, the British museum is closed until August 27,2020, in China it is open for business. Since July 2020, the museum has drawn curious visitors to its pop-up store Shanghai Shimao Festival City. Visitors could take a selfie (自拍) in the photo walls and pick their favorite souvenir from over two hundred kinds of Egyptian creative products.
Home of Vegetables
The Vegetable Museum in China's Shouguang City, known as "Home of Vegetables", combined live-streaming with e-commerce smartly.

Man goes viral with 1.7 million views after filming himself playing piano duets (二重奏) with a mystery neighbor on the other side of the wall.
Giorgio Lo Porto is an Italian living in the UK and making TikTok videos. On January 31st, Giorgio posted a video of him listening to his neighbor playing the piano and it seemed that he was really enjoying the concert. Then, on February 6th, he posted a follow-up video saying that he had left a note to his neighbor letting him know that he loved his playing and asking if he could play "My Heart Will Co On". The neighbor's answer was clear as we can hear them playing in the background.
On Valentine's Day, he wrote another note to the neighbor suggesting that they could play a duet: "……and I said as soon as I stop，you start." The TikToker was very excited and nervous, not knowing if the neighbor would answer him, but he recorded himself starting to play the piece "River Flows In You". The neighbor answered the call and continued to play the melody. When Giorgio heard the notes coming from the other side of the wall, you can really see in his face how moved he was and the caption of the video says: "It was really fun."
The fun didn't end there. The two pianists agreed to "meet" on the weekend. Giorgio wrote: "This was our way of saying 'I don't know who you are, but I'm here. You're not alone.'"
The identity of the neighbor at that point was still a mystery. But the time to meet finally came. Turns out, his name was Emil and he was 78-year-old who lost his wife due to Covid-19. The only consolation left to Emil was his piano. He was trying to heal his heart by playing music his wife loved.
This whole situation of communicating with a stranger through music and later getting to know the pianist's heartbreaking story inspired Giorgio to write his own music piece. He explains in a video that it is "about fighting loneliness, about kindness…" This is the first piece that Giorgio. ever composed, and he named it Dear Emil.
24. Why did Giorgio leave a note to Emil?
A. He felt a little homesick for Italy. B. He decided to free Emil from sufferings.

A. Magic of Music B. The Origin of Dear Emil
C. An Unforgettable Me D. Two Pianos between a Wall

Stingrays are an instantly recognizable fish, with their pancake-like bodies that swim gracefully through the water. Their flat bodies allow them to sit on the bottom of the ocean, river or lake, disguising themselves to predators (食肉动物) swimming above as they hunt their prey (猎物) on the floor. Their eyes sit on the top of their body，while their mouths are on the bottom. They each have a long tail with a toxin-filled barb (充满毒素的倒钩). When they feel threatened，they can Jift their barbed tails upward and injure potential predators. Most species of stingrays sport dull colors that help with disguise, though some do have more lively colors. Stingrays eat prey like worms while freshwater stingrays eat insects as well.
As those creatures move through the water，they generate bioelectric fields. Stingrays are able to detect these bioelectric fields of the animals around them using a network of special sensory organs called ampullae of Lorenzini. These organs are small, fluid-filled electrical receptors that are located near the stingray's mouth and look like tiny black holes in the animal's skin. Once they've located and captured their prey with the help of these sensory organs, stingrays use their hard teeth to break the shells of their victims, and can even chew their meal.
In 2006, Australian television personality Steve Irwin died when a stingray's barbed tail pierced his heart. Irwin was being filmed for a show called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to a stingray. However, death from stingrays is rare. A stingray's poison is generally only deadly when its barb pierces people's neck or chest. Otherwise, contact with a stingray's. barb anywhere else on the body causes pain similar to a jellyfish (水母) sting.
Scientists also believe that stingrays have the ability to detect the Earth's magnetic fields and the orientation of electric currents generated by objects in the water. They could then use that information to navigate in the open ocean. However, this ability could potentially cause problems for the animals as offshore energy technologies like wind and wave energy become more popular, thus disturbing stingrays' ability to accurately detect their surroundings. This could influence stingrays' feeding and migration patterns.
28. What can we know about stingrays?
A. They hardly feed on insects.
B. They have a big ball-like fat bod.
C. Their barbed tails serve as a defence.
D. Their body colors vary with the environment.
29. What is the ampullae of Lorenzini used for?
A. Hunting prey. B. Frightening prey.
C. Protecting sensory organs. D. Producing a bioelectric field.
30. Why is Irwin's death mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To explain jellyfish stings cause death.
B. To show it was an occasional accident.
C. To prove photographing undersea is risky.
D. To stress stingrays are ocean's deadliest.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A. Stingrays' ability to detect magnetic fields.
B. The popularity of wind and wave energy.
C. Stingrays' feeding and migration patterns.
D. The technological impact. on stingrays' life.
D
Boston wants to be smarter. The city has taken advantage of tiny sensors, big data and other technologies to become more responsive to its residents' needs. But technology alone is not sufficient to make today's cities livable. Boston has discovered that it also needs to reach the old-fashioned low-tech community and integrate that technology with city life.
Kris Carter, co-chair of the Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics, rolled out Boston's smart city program in 2014.It started with an app that residents could download to report locations where sidewalks needed repair. The city checked those reports and ranked them in a database, which repair workers used to prioritize (确定优先顺序) their work.
The system worked beautifully，except for one problem: most of the alerts came from wealthier neighborhoods, where the concentration of smartphone-equipped residents was highest. "The complaints that had been coming in from the app didn't always reveal the greatest community need for repairs," explains Carter.
Boston's high-tech initiatives shouldn't disproportionately (不成比例地) benefit the already well-resourced. Under Carter, technology is getting into the city's functioning and daily life, but with a special eye to serving those populations and neighborhoods that need the most support. "What we want to know is how to target problems in a smart way that addresses both needs and equity (公正) goals," he says.
Carter's group has moved away from the model common to many smart city initiatives of letting tech-savvy (精通科技产品的) residents and high-tech companies drive the process. Instead，they run meetings in local libraries and other public spaces to find out what problems people in different neighborhoods care about solving. When it came to sidewalks, Boston introduced a second method of collecting repair tips. In addition to its smartphone app, it hired people to get out and walk the city's 1,700 miles of sidewalks to take notes on their condition.
Whether using low-tech or high-tech approaches, says Carter, to stay smart, a city needs to continually reassess its options to spot opportunities to improve residents' lives.
32. What is Boston like now?
A. It's well-equipped. B. It's old-fashioned.
C. It's highly livable. D. It's badly maintained.
33. What's the problem with Boston's app?
A. It gets many inaccurate reports.
B. It fails to serve the whole society.
C. It always makes repair workers copfused.
D. It is ranked very low among various apps.
34. What did Carter's group do to better the smart city program?
A. They rolled out a second app.
B. They reduced the running costs.
C. They asked the neighborhood for help.
D. They employed people to collect repair tips.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. A commonly-adopted model was launched.
B. A smart city involves more than technology.
C. The app-backed system makes the city smarter.
D. The disadvantaged voiced complaints about high-tech.
