The Collections of Chinese Ancient Cultural Relics Abroad: Volume Victoria and Albert Museum has just been published, the fruit of ten years' efforts by Chinese experts.
The book is the first of an upcoming series that centers on ancient cultural heritage(文化遗产) collections in different museums around the world. The book details 195 out of 18,000 items now in the Victoria and Albert Museum in England.
More than 1.64 million ancient Chinese artifacts have been transported out of China because of different reasons such as wars and smuggling(走私) since the mid 19th century. More than 200 museums in 47 countries hold such collections, according to a report from UNESCO.
"The information we now have about these pieces is still very patchy(不全面的)," said Lu Zhangshen, curator(馆长) of the National Museum of China. "In order to have a clearer picture about these items, National Museum of China decided to start the Chinese Ancient Cultural Relics Abroad book project in 2005. But after we began, we found it really difficult to collect information for every piece from each museum. That’s why the first volume took us ten years."
"The pieces in the book include 102 porcelains(瓷器), 31 bronzes(铜器), 22 lacquer(漆器), 10 enamel vessels(搪瓷器皿) and so on," Liu Mingqian from Victoria and Albert Museum said.
According to the National Museum of China, the volume of the Japanese museum Sen-oku Hakuko Kan is coming out soon and the museum will seek more cooperation from museums worldwide to accelerate(加速) the project.

Market analysts in the United States have recently been quoted as saying that the biggest threat to the luxury (奢侈品) industry in the US is the tech industry. This is according to an article by fellow journalist Ashley Lutz. Her suggestion is sound. The main idea of her article is that products from Tiffany & Co. find their biggest competition not from other luxury brands but from companies like Apple. Lutz points out that luxury products are often only for “show,” while the attraction behind tech products is functionality.
You find few people in the United States today willing to purchase luxury goods at full price. It didn’t use to be that way. Luxury goods used to be actually exclusive. That meant you needed to travel to the right store to purchase them, and you didn’t even have the option of getting a deal.
Today, no one wants to pay full price for luxury goods. People have the unfortunate belief that fakes (赝品) somehow are equal to originals, and if you can’t get a deal on eBay, Amazon, or in an outlet store, purchasing a luxury product probably isn’t worth it. Luxury brands struggle to remain high-end (高档的) images despite the reality that the American consumer is motivated much more by discounts than they are by brand names or image.
Yet people stand in line to pay full price for a new product from Apple and crowds gather to hear about a new smart phone. While electronics are updating every day, people are purchasing technology at full prices much more than they are purchasing luxury goods. What are high-tech makers doing right that luxury makers are pitifully failing at?
Carefully looking at the situation, it would appear as if the Internet didn’t hurt the luxury industry, expectation from the consumers did. What people want these days more than anything is stuff that does something. They want cars that drive, shoes that are comfortable, games that are fun to play, screens that are beautiful to look at, tools that are useful, and entertainment that is entertaining. Little of that fits into what the luxury industry has typically offered with its status, image, and fine materials. The sad reality is that luxury products aren’t that luxury any more.
1.What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Nobody likes luxury goods any more.
B. Tech products become the new “luxury goods”.
C. Luxury goods are of poor quality nowadays.
D. Iphones have taken the place of luxury products.
2. The underlined word “exclusive” in paragraph 2 means _______.
A. easy to sell
B. low in price
C. hard to find
D. unique and with no bargain
3.What do people pay most attention to nowadays?
A. The function of products.
B. The images of luxuries.
C. The Internet service.
D. The expectation from the consumers.

Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.
Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting（收缩）and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.
Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: “Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”
The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don’t see and guide whether we see fear.”
To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner（扫描仪）to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person’s feeling of fear.
“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said.
“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”
1.What is the finding of the study?
A. Fear is a result of one’s relaxed heartbeat.
B. One’s heart affects how he feels fear.
C. Fear has something to do with one’s heart health.
D. One’s fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.
2.The conclusion was drawn by analyzing .
A. volunteers’ heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures
B. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions
C. volunteers’ reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scans
D. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication
3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?
A. Order B. Treatment
C. Machine D. System

More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese(肥胖)．In fact，over obesity has reached such proportions that one big-city mayor has gone about banning large-sized，sugary soft drinks and the First Lady has been on a campaign to control the dietary offerings in public schools．
Even many adults who do not fit the clinic definition of obesity are still overweight，and a large percentage are looking for the best ways to lose weight．
Reducing pounds largely comes down to the two-sided factors of diet and exercise．Not carrying out the first one enough，and not getting enough of the second one，ends up giving the individual a recipe for being overweight．
Advising someone to eat less and exercise more might be the easiest advice possible，but it’s also，partially，an oversimplification．Dieting has more to do with the types of food you eat than how much you eat．Reduce the amount of red meat in your diet．If you don’t want to eliminate red meat altogether，choose cuts of meat with less fat content．Limit your intake of salt and starches．If you’ve got to have potato chips alongside your sandwich at lunch，choose the baked potato chips that contain less fat than the deep-fried chips．You might find you’re really not sacrificing that much in terms of taste．
A diet rich in fruits，vegetables，egg whites，fish and nonfat dairy products will certainly aid in the mission of losing weight．Drink more water and less sugary drinks．If you have to have a soda，a diet soda is a better option，but seltzer is an even better choice than that．
It’s important—if not always easy—to make sure you get at least some physical activity each and every day．If your feet won’t allow for a regular jogging regimen，then make sure you take lots of walks．Next time you need to mail a letter，walk to the mailbox instead of driving．Try to work in a daily walk in your neighborhood．
1.You should________when you want to lose weight
A． try not to fit the clinic definition of obesity
B． diet as well as exercise enough
C． get little exercise every day
D． focus your attention on diet only
2.The First Lady has started a movement to________．
A． raise people’s awareness of healthy diet
B． control the public school dietary supplying
C． ban the sugary soft drinks
D． realize the importance of dieting
3.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph？
A． We must keep far away from fat and ignore our taste．
B． The simplest and best way to lose weight is to eat and exercise more．
C． We should remove the red meat in our diet completely to reduce weight．
D． When it comes to diet，no one needs to starve themselves in order to lose weight．
4.The last paragraph is mainly about________．
A． walk B． diet
C． exercise D． jog
