19.You are the collector in the gallery of your life.You collect.You might not mean to but you do.One out of three people collects tangible(有形的)things such as cats,photos and noisy toys.
There are among some 40collections that are being shown at"The Museum Of"-the first of several new museums which,over the next two years,will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors.In doing so,they will promote a popular culture of museums,not what museums normally represent.
Some of the collections are fairly common-records,model houses.Others are strangely beautiful-branches that have fallen from tree,for example.But they all reveal (顯露)a lot of things:ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.
Other on the way include"The museum of Collectors"and"The Museum of Me."These new ones,it is hoped,will build on the success of"The Museum Of."The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect,and what it means to do so.They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they,too,collect.
Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important point:the beginning or end of adolescence-"it's a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up,"says one.Other painful times are mentioned,such as the end of a relationship.For time and life can seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial(順序排列的)arrangement is comforting.

64.How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums?B
A.By collecting more tangible things.
B.By showing what ordinary people have collected.
C.By correcting what museums normally represent.
D.By accumulating 40collections two years from now.

A.Who they are.

C.Where they were born.

B.To encourage more people to collect.
C.To study the significance of collecting.

7.There are many places to go on safari(觀賞野生動(dòng)物)in Africa,but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys.
Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure,providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta.The camps have excellent horses,professional guides and lots of support workers.They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.
The morning ride,when the guides take you to beautiful,shallow lakes full of water lilies,tends to be more active.It is unlike any other riding experience.With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face.It is truly exciting.You are very likely to come across large wild animals,too.On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants,giraffes and many other animals.The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though,as does your heart rate,as you move closer to them.
In the evening,rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace.With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink.Sedate though they are,rides at this time of day are still very impressive.As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses,the romance of Africa comes to life.
Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine.Looking back on your day,you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.
