A
My doorbell rings at 11 a.m . On the step,I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.
I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter,Nicole,bought the house next door last October. Nicole,who is currently in Shanghai,has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly,and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.
I know what is inside the paper carrier bag-a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice,
vegetables and either chicken,meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.
Communication between my benefactor(恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that
she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is \Once,she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen,which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.
\,\I protested. “I can hardly
reciprocate by cooking something from my native land,like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her,” I said.
\,no,\,and she
wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing,which is her surname.\
The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well,so with
her help,I have found out that Wing is 68-13 years younger than I am-and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.
So here we are,two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised,neither of us able to
speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag,handed smilingly to me by Wing.
Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words-it's the least I can do after such a display
of kindness.
\,of course,the first one,which somehow seems inadequate.

Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.
Why slow?
When people look slowly at a piece of art,they make discoveries. The most important discovery
they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert. And that's an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.
How does it work?
One day each year,people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.
Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience. That's it. Simple by design,the goal is to focus on the art. In fact,Slow Art Day works quite well this way.
By the numbers
Over l,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010.Slow
Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.
700 venues (museums,galleries,artist studios,sculpture parks,public an sites,etc.) have hosted
Slow Art Day events.
Participants love Slow Art Day
Feedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive. Here's a sample:
“I loved taking the time to just 'be' with the works,particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by.
It's a much better way of doing the art museum than the usual idle ramble. Discussion afterwards was fun,interesting,informative and eye-opening. I look forward to doing it again.\
Slow Art Day 2017 is Saturday,April 8,in museums and galleries worldwide. Join us and
experience art differently.

Got big plans for Friday night? That's OK,we don't either.
Guess we'll all have to make do by watching the celestial(天空的)show that will take place that
night.
First,there will be a full moon. That's always fun,but this one will be a little more special. It's
known as a “snow moon.” The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February,according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
But if that's not special enough,there's also an eclipse(月食)that night. It'll be a penumbral lunar
eclipse, meaning it’s a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth's shadow. No,it won't be as spectacular as those \,It'll be subtler. The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent; it just depends on where you are when you view it.
In North America,the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m.ET and ends at 9:53 p.m.ET,according to
astronomy website EarthSky. The eclipse will be at its height around 7:44 p.m.ET.
If that's still not enough,let's throw in a comet(彗星)to the night's festivities.
Comet 45P (it has a much longer name,but we won't burden you with it here) is visible as it flies
by Earth. The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this
weekend,according to Universe Today.
Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse,so look to the skies again
around 3 a.m.ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.
And don't forget,a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August 21st.
8.According to the text,what can be viewed on Friday night? A.A blood moon.
B.A total solar eclipse. D.A comet without a tail.
C.A partial lunar eclipse.
9.If you want to see Comet 45P,you will need to . A. wait around 7:44 p.m.ET
B. stay up until 9:53 p.m.ET D. start watching at 5:34 p.m.ET
C. wake up before 3:00 a.m.ET
10.The author writes the text with the purpose of . A. introducing basic astronomy to the media
B. sharing new discoveries with astronomy researchers C. promoting astronomical events among science students D. informing average readers of recent celestial phenomena 11.Which can be a suitable title for the text?

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL).The
game is the culmination(高潮)to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally,Roman numerals are used to identify each game,rather than the year in which it is held. For example,Super Bowl I was played on January 15,1967,following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 7,2016,following the 2015
