  下面是几篇有关英国博物馆的信息, 请阅读下列资料和相关信息, 并按照要求匹配信息。
首先, 请阅读下列资料介绍:
a. Explore the natural history of the planet Earth from the prehistoric era to the present day at one of London’s most visited museums. In 1881, the Natural History Museum moved to its present venue. Designed by Alfred Waterhouse, this building is now one of London’s most beautiful and most recognised. These hallowed halls now house more than 300 years’ worth of collections, with over 68 million specimens. Broadly divided into Life and Earth galleries.
b. The British Museum is one of London’s top tourist attraction as well as being a major scholarly resource and Royal history. Its collection was bequeathed to the nation in 1753 and the Museum’s distinctive Greek revivalist structure was built during the 19th Century. The collection expanded massively during the hey-day of the British Empire. And if you haven’t got time for a proper visit, drop in for a coffee at the lovely Court Restaurant. Admission: free.
c. This magnificent Georgian edifice, found on the northern side of Trafalgar Square, houses a massive collection of Western European art. Designer Marc Newson presents two new blockbuster exhibitions to his gallery. The National Gallery, which showcased recent retrospectives. This exhibition traces the rise of the Italian Renaissance artist, and gather more than 100 pieces of his collection.
d. There are mausoleums, catacombs and ornate crumbling tombs of eminent writers, politicians and artists in the rambling, overgrown west section of this woodland graveyard. Celebrity corpses include Karl Marx, Michael Faraday and Christina Rossetti. Be aware that you must purchase a photography license in order to take photographs within the cemetery. Take advantage of the special guided tours.
e. The Science Museum’s seven floors offer opportunities to explore the history of technology as well as to glimpse the future. Setting off from Launchpad, where you can get to grips with the laws of science, you can move on to a vast array of interactive galleries which demand audience participation—whether it be of the hands- on or brain—stimulating kind. From medical history to nuclear physics, it’s all covered. Challenging the perception amongst many children that science is boring, the multitude of things to press, touch, watch and think about make this museum a firm favourite with the kids.
f. Predominantly a decorative arts museum, the V&A is a comprehensive collection of everything from sculpture to photographs, from Chinese art to art deco. Among others, the V&A houses the recently refurbished Raphael Gallery, home to seven tapestry cartoons by Raphael that are among Britain’s greatest art treasures and part of the Royal Collection. There is a lot to see from the Becket Casket to the Canon photography.

The Future Body Network
Are you tired of wires that spread all over your desk and make your tea pour onto your keyboard? If so, you may consider using devices(设备)that use technologies like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Neither of them sends information through wires. It sounds perfect, doesn't it? But this is not the end of the story.
Scientists are now trying to use the human body to do a similar job. They have come up with the idea of sending information over the small electric field on the surface of the skin. To do this, a transmitter(传送器)could be built into your pocket or a portable device like an MP3 player. This transmitter would then use your skin's electrical field to send information to a receiving device. Since this kind of transmission can only go as far as 20cm, the receiver would have to be close to some part of your body.
By using this body network, you wouldn't need a wire to link your MP3 player in your pocket to the headphones in your ears, or to send to your computer the pictures from a digital camera hanging around your neck. Moreover, you can exchange electronic cards or share music files with others by shaking hands, dancing cheek(脸颊)to cheek, or kissing each other.
Now, here comes a question. Why would anyone want to use their body as a network when Wi-Fi and Bluetooth already exist? The answer lies in the fact that with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, it is hard to limit the signals only to your own use. In a busy place, you can never know who might steal your information. However, body networking is safer. It is hard for other people to pick up signals sent over the surface of your skin since this body network only has a limit of 20cm from your body. Thus, no one else can easily pick up and interpret your signals.
Moreover, the most important use of body networking in the future may well be communication within the body rather than just on its surface. Imagine having a number of small devices implanted under your skin and using them to control your own nervous system. In other words, imagine that you have a powerful in-body computer. What do you think of this idea? Does it sound cool, like being a character in the movie RoboCop? Or would you prefer to be just an ordinary human being?

What's the main idea of the passage?

A.Technology is causing us to be lazy.
B.Technology is doing harm to our body.
C.Technology is advancing too quickly.
D.Technology is making our life easier.

Which of the following is NOT the way to exchange information over the skin?

A.Shaking hands. B.Looking into one's eyes.
C.Kissing each other. D.Dancing cheek to cheek.

The body network is safer because _________.

A.the information is only important to you
B.the information is stored inside your body
C.the information is sent out only 20cm from your body
D.the information is controlled by your nervous system

The movie RoboCop is most likely about________.

A.a man that is controlled by a computer
B.a computer that turns into a man
C.a robot that catches a thief
D.a thief that steals a robot

During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom.
Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn't give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
Whenever I didn't get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany's mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say "Poor Tiffany". I couldn't understand her. "She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought. "She should be feeling sorry for me."
One day, I couldn't help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?" I burst into tears. My mom sat down next to me and said softly. "Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught."
I looked up at her. "What are you talking about?"
Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something. Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it. Her mother won't always be around to give her money, and what's more, money can't buy everything."
She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You'll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won't. You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food."
It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom's words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.

THERE is an old saying: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” It means that you shouldn’t build your first impression of someone on his or her looks alone. But according to a new study, the famous sayingmight not be correct after all. A group of US scientists have found that the first impression we have of someone else is actually right most of the time.
In the study, scientists asked participants to look at a photograph of a person and make a quick judgment about him or her. A month later, the participant and the person in the photo were introduced, and scientists were shocked to find that their judgments oftenmatch those that they had made originally.
It’s true that simply looking at someone won’t provide you with as much information.But, according to scientists, when makinga first impression, people rely more on their instincts (直觉) than on logic (逻辑).“They focus on how that person makes them feel,” Paul Eastwick of the University of Texas told Live Science. “It is very hard to get a sense of this information when simply viewing a profile(简介).As soon as one sees another person, an impression is formed and what we see can sometimes dominate what we know.”
Of course, no one can be right about everything and your instincts can go wrong sometimes. But even if it is proven to be wrong, once people form an opinion about someone, they have a hard time getting over that opinion later on.
The findings help explain why people always tidy themselves up before meeting guests or doing job interviews.
“Their face constantlyremindsus of that firstimpression,” said Rule. People may learn more about another person over time once they get close to each other, but first impressions remain very important and seem difficult to forget.
What did the US scientists of the University of Texas find out in their recent study?

A.It’s unwise to judge a book by its cover.
B.It’s better to judge by logic than by instincts.
C.First impressions tend to last more often than not.
D.Profiles provide more information than you have imagined.

The underlined word “dominate” is closest in meaning to .

A.determine B.change
C.cover D.acquire

We can conclude from the article that ______.

A.first impressions never go wrong
B.it’s difficult to change a wrong first impression
C.it takes a long time to form a first impression
D.first impressions are easy to change after people know each other better
