I can still remember the day when Mr. Pearson asked me to wait after class for a “quick talk”. He was my science teacher. Although I had always been good at science, I had given up a bit with schoolwork by Grade 8. So that afternoon, Mr. Pearson sat down next to me and asked me what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I told him I wanted to fix cars because I loved cars.
“What about making them?” he said.
“Making them?” I asked. “Like in a factory, do you mean?”
“No.” said Mr. Pearson. “I mean being an engineer and getting proper training to design cars-the best cars in the world possibly.”
“That sounds pretty cool,” I said. It was something I’d never thought I might be able to do.
“Well,” said Mr. Pearson, “I know that you are good enough at science to do that. But at the moment, you’re not really trying.”
“I just...find everything a bit boring,” I said.
“It is sometimes boring when you’re in Grade 8,” said Mr. Pearson. “But it’s like climbing a mountain. You can’t get up to the top until you’ve worked your way up from the bottom. It’s hard sometimes. The path is steep (陡的), and there’s no view. But get yourself up to the top, and you’ll see the most amazing views.”
Mr. Pearson was there for me after that, to explain things and help me with any problems.
And every month or two, he asked me, “How are things on that mountain?” “No views yet,” I always said, “but I’m still going up.”
Mr. Pearson was right about the mountain. At last, I was interested in science and was really excellent at it.
31．What did the student want to do with the rest of his life?

32．How did the science teacher encourage the student?

B．He compared learning to making a car.
C．He said science was very easy.
D．He said learning was like climbing a mountain.

A．Mr. Pearson likes travelling.
B．Mr. Pearson is really a helpful teacher.
C．Mr. Pearson’s words are hard to understand.
D．Mr. Pearson wants to be an engineer himself.

The platform was developed together by the Dunhuang Academy (研究院) and the Chinese tech company Tencent. It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.
The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics (文物) from the 4th century to the 11th century undearthed (出土). It was one of the most important discoveries in the 20th century.
On the platform, visitors can role-play and “time travel” to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures (人物). The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat program.

China Central Television has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer (神鹿) Youyou. It was created according to the image (形象) of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals (壁画). The public can see the divine deer on CCTV’s own digital platform.
Digital collections cater to (迎合) the habits of young people. They not only protect the cultural relics but also bring the public closer to China’s “excellent traditional culture”, reported Dunhuang Art Institute.
Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to discover new forms for showing cultural relics and offer the public cultural experiences to develop Dunhuang culture.
