Here, our selection of Britain’s strangest museums has something for everyone.
Glasgow Riverside Transport Museum
The museum houses steam engines, motorbikes, Glasgow buses and just about anything else that has a set of wheels, wrings or sails. One of the last tall ships in existence is moored (停泊) outside, and you can take a boat there from Govan. For those not in love with transport, there’s a copy of a 19th-century Glasgow street with traditional shops and an old subway station.
Entrance is free and for children of all ages.
The Natural History Museum, Hertfordshire
The Victorians were mad about collecting, and this is essentially the personal collection of just one home-educated boy, which began when he was 5 years old. But as a member of the Rothschild family, Walter took 40 years to do it. There’s just about every stuffed animal you could ever imagine, and quite a few you couldn’t: a polar bear; George, a mandrill (山魈) from London Zoo and a four-ton elephant seal.
Entrance is free.
The Pencil Museum1, Cumbria
It is a museum all about the history of the everyday pencil. There are free daily artists’ demonstrations and workshops, so you can enter from one end of the museum and go out with a drawing from another end. The lovely Lake District location adds to the experience and the wonderful shop is especially enjoyable for stationery (文具) lovers.
Entrance: adults £8, children £6.
The Time Machine Museum of Science Fiction, Hertfordshire
This is the result of 30 years of crazy collecting by Andy Glazzard. There are artworks from sci-fi classics, but most of the museum artworks center on Doctor Who.
Entrance: adults £4.25, children f3.25.
21. What can visitors see in Glasgow Riverside Transport Museum?
A. Stuffed animals. B. Various vehicles.
C. Old bus stations. D. Some modern shops.
22. How much would a couple with two children pay for admission to The Pencil Museum?

23. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. A science fiction.

Bill Gates doesn’t pretend he lives in an egalitarian household. When it comes to parenting his three children, the billionaire says his wife Melinda has done more than her share of the work raising the kids. “My wife does 80%,” Gates told a crowd of Harvard students. He said he and his wife have been quite careful about the model they’ve used to raise their three children, who are now 15, 18, and 22 years old.
They followed a 1970s “Love and Logic” parenting model. It’s a formula that was created by a group of three men. The core idea of their philosophy is centered on the idea of emotional control, mainly reducing emotional reactions like shouting or reprimanding (训斥) kids. Aside from controlling parent tempers, the model also stresses the importance of not providing rewards for kids, but instead showing unconditional love and admiring kids for who they are, not what they do (or don’t) achieve. “Many highly successful people struggled with grades as children,” co-founder of this model, Charles Fay wrote on his site. “What’s most important is that our children develop good character, curiosity, and problem-solving skills.”
Gates says the “Love and Logic” method is a far cry from the way he grew up, but he knew he wanted to do things differently with his own kids. It wasn’t the only way he set boundaries (界线) for his children. None of his kids owned a cell phone until they were 14 years old. The children also attended Catholic church regularly with their parents. And they will each get about $10 million of their parents fortune as inheritance (遗产), a mere small part of roughly $90 billion net worth. “We want to strike a balance where they have the freedom to do anything, but not a lot of money showered on them so they could go out and do nothing,” Gates once told TED．
24．What does the underlined word “egalitarian” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Believing in wealth. B．Having a lot of knowledge.
C．Believing in equality. D．Having an interest in kids.
24．What do we know about “Love and Logic” parenting model?
A．It is not a good choice for Bill Gates.
B．It focuses on emotional control.
C．It stresses the importance of rewarding kids.
D．It was created by a group of three women.
25．Which of the following does Charles Fay agree with?
A．Shaping good character is more important than problem-solving skills.
B．Showing unconditional love is always the most effective way.
C．Many highly successful people had good grades as children.
D．Shouting at kids is not a wise choice for parents.
26．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Bill Gates is strict with his kids.
B．Bill Gates’ kids will get about 10 million.
C．Bill Gates doesn’t love his children.
D．Bill Gates’ kids hate “Love and Logic” method.

Crocodiles today look very similar to ones from 200 million years ago. There are also very few species alive today---just 25. Other animals such as lizards（蜥蜴）and birds have achieved a diversity of many thousands of species in the same amount of time or less.
Prehistory also saw types of crocodile we don't see today, including giants as big as dinosaurs, plant-eaters, fast runners and snake-like forms that lived in the sea. The rate of their evolution is generally slow, but occasionally they evolve more quickly because the environment has changed. In particular, their evolution speeds up when the climate is warmer, and their body size increases.
The body size of crocodiles is important because it interacts with how fast animals grow, how much food they need, how big their populations are and how likely they are to become extinct. The limited diversity of crocodiles and their apparent lack of evolution is a result of a slow evolutionary rate. It seems the crocodiles arrived at a body plan that was very efficient and perfect enough that they didn't need to change it in order to survive. This perfection could be one explanation why crocodiles survived Cretaceous period（白垩纪）, in which the dinosaurs died out.
Crocodiles generally develop better in warm conditions because they cannot control their body temperature and require warmth from the environment. The climate during the age of dinosaurs was warmer than it is today, and that may explain why there were many more varieties of crocodiles than we see now. Being able to draw energy from the sun means they do not need to eat as much as a warm-blooded animal like a bird or a mammal（哺乳动物）.
28．What influenced the evolution of crocodiles most?
A．Their number. B．The climate. C．Their habits. D．Food resources.
29．Why did crocodiles go slowly in evolution?
A．As a result of their good appetite.
B．Because of their perfect body type.
C．Owing to so many dinosaurs around.
D．Due to their limited ability to reproduce.
30．We can infer from the last paragraph that crocodiles ________.
A．are warm-blooded animals B．like cold living conditions
C．eat less than mammals D．are fiercer than dinosaurs
31．What is the text mainly about?
A．The history of crocodiles,
B．Ancient animals' evolution.
C．Residents of the Cretaceous period.
D．The "stop-start" pattern of crocodiles' evolution.

It’s late in the evening, time to close the book and turn off the computer. You’re done for the day. What you may not realize, however, is that the learning process actually continues in your dreams.
It might sound like science fiction, but researchers are increasingly focusing on the relationship between the knowledge and skills our brains absorb during the day and the often strange imaginings they generate at night. Scientists have found that dreaming about a task we’ve learned improves performance in that activity (suggesting that there’s some truth to the popular idea that we’re “getting” a foreign language once we begin dreaming in it). What’s more, dreaming may be an essential part of understanding, organizing and retaining what we learn.
While we sleep, research indicates, the brain replays the patterns of activity it experienced during waking hours, allowing us to enter what one psychologist calls a neural (神经的) virtual reality. A vivid example of such replay can be seen in a video researchers made recently about sleep disorders. They taught a series of dance moves to patients suffering from sleepwalking and related conditions. They then videotaped the subjects as they slept. Lying in bed, eyes closed, one female patient on the tape performs the dance moves she learned earlier.
This shows that while our bodies are at rest, our brains are drawing what’s important from the information and events we’ve recently encountered, then integrating that material into the vast store of what we already know. In a 2010 study, researchers reported that college students who dreamed about a computer maze (迷宫) task they had learned showed a 10-fold improvement in their ability to find their way through the maze compared with participants who did not dream about the task.
That study’s chief researcher Herbert Smith suggested that studying right before bedtime or taking a nap following a study session in the afternoon might increase the probability of dreaming about the material. Think about that as you go to sleep tonight.
32．What happens when one enters a dream state?
A．The body continues to act as if the sleeper were awake.
B．The neural activity of the brain will become intensified.
C．The brain once again experiences the learning activities of the day.
D．The brain behaves as if it were playing a virtual reality video game.
33．What does the brain do while we are sleeping?
A．It replaces old information with new material.
B．It processes and absorbs newly acquired information.
C．It regroups information and places it in different files.
D．It systematizes all the information collected during the day.
34．How can learning be enhanced according to Herbert Smith?
A．Staying up late before finally going to bed.
B．Having a period of sleep right after studying.
C．Having a dream about anything you are interested in.
D．Thinking about the chances of dreaming about the material.
35．What is the research discussed in the passage mainly about?
A．How study affects people’s dreams.
B．Why people learn more after sleeping.
C．What time students should study and sleep.
D．How dreaming may lead to improved learning outcomes.

Helping Your Teen Understand the Value of Money
It seems that there are more things for teens to spend money on than ever. 36 If you aren’t made of money, it’s hard to give your kids everything they want. That’s why it’s important to help them understand the value of money.
Start teaching your children about money early. Starting around age 10, give them a few dollars every week for them to spend however they want. Make the pocket money dependent on doing housework. 37 Don’t set limits on what they can spend it on, and don’t continually buy them things they want. They’ll soon learn that if they spend all their money as soon as they get it, they won’t be able to afford more expensive things they want.
You should also start early introducing your children to budgets and how much things cost. 38 Soon they’ll realise how much some things really cost.
As your child gets older, about 13 or 14, increase their pocket money as you increase their responsibility. Once they’re more responsible, give them a budget for something bigger like clothes and make hem stick to it.
Eventually, your child will probably get a job. Take this opportunity to teach them about savings. 39 Let them use the rest as mad money to spend however they want. If you’re worried about what they’re buying, open them a checking account you can monitor.
Teaching your child the value of money will not happen overnight. 40 Remember that they will probably mess up along the way, but mistakes are how they learn.
A．It takes many small
