 短文 Ken: The most interesting museum I've ever been to is the American Computer Museum. They have information about different computers and who invented them. The old computers were much bigger. It's unbelievable that technology has progressed in such a rapid way! I've also learned that there was a special computer. It could play chess even better than humans. I wonder how much more computers will be able to do in the future.

Amy: I've recently been to a very unusual museum in India, the International Museum of Toilets. I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw so many different kinds of toilets there. The museum teaches people about the history and development of toilets. It also encourages governments and social groups to think about ways to improve toilets in the future.

Linlin: Last year I went to the Hangzhou National Tea Museum. It's a relaxing and peaceful place near a lake. The tea art performances show how to make a perfect cup of tea with beautiful tea sets. Watching the tea preparation is just as enjoyable as drinking the tea itself. I've finally realized why my grandpa loves drinking tea and collecting tea sets. 肯：我去过的最有趣的博物馆是美国计算机博物馆。 他们有关于不同的电脑和谁发明了它们的信息。 旧电脑要大得多。 科技进步如此之快，真是难以置信！ 我还了解到有一台特殊的电脑。 它甚至可以比人类下得更好。 我想知道将来电脑还能做多少事情。

艾米：我最近去了印度的一个非常不寻常的博物馆，国际厕所博物馆。 当我在那里看到这么多不同种类的厕所时，我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。 博物馆向人们介绍厕所的历史和发展。 它还鼓励政府和社会团体思考未来改善厕所的方法。

琳琳：去年我去了杭州国家茶叶博物馆。 这是一个靠近湖的放松和宁静的地方。 茶艺表演展示了如何用漂亮的茶具沏一杯完美的茶。 观看沏茶和喝茶本身一样令人愉快。 我终于明白我爷爷为什么喜欢喝茶和收集茶具了。

Singapore -- A Place You Will Never Forget!


Have you ever been to Singapore? For thousands of tourists from China, this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful and safe place to take a holiday. On the one hand, more than three quarters of the population are Chinese, so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of the time. On the other hand, Singapore is an English-speaking country, so it's also a good place to practice your English!

Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China? Maybe you fear that you won't be able to find anything good to eat when you travel. In Singapore, however, you'll find a lot of food from China; you won't have any problem getting rice, noodles or dumplings. Singapore is also an excellent place to try new food. Whether you like Indian food, Western food or Japanese food, you'll find it all in Singapore!

Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night? Singapore has Night Safari. It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it's dark. However, if you go to see lions, tigers of foxes during the daytime, they'll probably be asleep! A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them. At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than in a normal zoo.

One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. This is because the island is so close to the equator. So you can choose to go whenever you like -- spring, summer, autumn or winter. And, of course, it's not too far from China!

新加坡 —— 一个你永远不会忘记的地方！


你去过新加坡吗？ 对于成千上万来自中国的游客来说，这个东南亚的小岛是一个美妙而安全的度假胜地。 一方面，超过四分之三的人口是中国人，所以很多时候你可以简单地说普通话。 另一方面，新加坡是一个讲英语的国家，所以它也是一个练习英语的好地方！

你在国外吃过中国菜吗？ 也许你担心旅行时找不到好吃的东西。 然而，在新加坡，你会发现很多来自中国的食物； 你买米饭、面条或饺子不会有任何问题。 新加坡也是一个尝试新食物的好地方。 无论你喜欢印度菜、西餐还是日本菜，你都能在新加坡找到！

大多数大城市都有动物园，但是你在晚上去过动物园吗？ 新加坡有夜间野生动物园。 天黑的时候去动物园可能看起来很奇怪。 然而，如果你在白天去看狮子、老虎或狐狸，它们可能正在睡觉！ 许多动物只在晚上醒来，所以这是观察它们的最佳时间。 在夜间野生动物园，你可以在比普通动物园更自然的环境中观看这些动物。

新加坡的一大优点是全年的温度几乎是一样的。 这是因为该岛离赤道很近。 所以你可以选择任何你喜欢的时间去——春天、夏天、秋天或冬天。 当然，它离中国也不远！

例如：

The children were all shocked to learn of the death of their headmaster. 得知校长去世，孩子们都十分震惊。
I only learned about the accident later. 我只是后来才得知了事故的情况。

2. I’ve never been camping. 我从未野营过。
 此句为现在完成进行时（* 初中阶段不要求掌握）。这一时态的结构为 ”have been + 现在分词“，表示从未有过野营的经历，欠缺这方面的经验。

又如：

He’s been watching TV all afternoon. 他一下午都在看电视。
We’ve been living like this ever since the birth of my little brother. 自打我小弟弟出生，我们就一直这样生活。

3. I wonder how much more computers will be able to do in the future. 不知道将来电脑还能够做些什么事情呢。
 1）wonder 表示 ”（对某事）感到疑惑；想要知道；想弄明白；琢磨“，后面常接由 what, how, who 或 if/whether（是否）引导的宾语从句。

例如：

I wonder how they’re getting on. 我想知道他们现在过得怎样。
I just wonder if they’re arrived safely. 我就想知道他们是否安全抵达了。

 2）此句从句部分的原始结构是：How much more will computers be able to do in the future? 由于充当了宾语从句，疑问结构被改成了陈述结构 how much more computers will be able to do in the future。

4. the International Museum of Toilets 国际厕所博物馆
 这是位于印度新德里的一个主题式展览馆，收藏、陈列和马桶装置十分丰富，从古至今，应有尽有，简直就是一部厕所的发展史。参观者可以从不同角度认识厕所的演变史。同时，博物馆里还收藏了许多名人用过的厕所及相关物品的复制品，旨在开拓人们视野，进行社会文明教育，推广环保宣传和研究。

5. Watching the tea preparation is just as enjoyable as drinking the tea itself. 看沏茶的过程和饮茶本身一样令人愉快。
 -able 是一个典型的形容词后缀，可加在动词之后，表示 ”可 … 的；能够 … 的“。此处 enjoyable（能使人快乐的；令人愉快的）便是一例，

再如：

drinkable（可饮用的），washable（可洗的），readable（可读的），usable（可用的；可使用的）等等。

6. Singapore has a Night Safari. 新加坡有一个夜间野生动物园。
 safari 指在丛林及原野上的 ”野生动物观赏或狩猎之旅“。a safari park 是指一种可供驾车预览的 ”野生动物园“。
