From grand museum openings to music, art and theatre, these are the coolest new things happening anywhere this year.

Look around an odd star's living room

Paris, France

This townhouse, where the controversial French singer Serge Gainsbourg spent the last 20 years of his life, has been completely closed off to the public since Gainsbourg's death in 1991, but next spring it'll finally open as a museum.

Get lost in the world of Hans Christian Andersen

Odense, Denmark

Just 90 minutes by train from Copenhagen, Odense is best known as the birthplace of Christian Andersen, and it's now home to the new HCA Museum.

Discover a cultural jewel at the heart of Europe

My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper. I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember.

Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.

It wasn't until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true— this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives.

So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April—Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort.

Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.

24. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para. 1?

A. Advantage. B. Annoyance. C. Preference. D. Confusion.

25. How did the author behave about public speaking after leaving Toastmasters?

A. He began to feel less worried. B. He became a polished speaker.

C. He remained a shy speaker. D. Things became worse for him.

26. What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day?

A. It was a good chance to learn science.

B. He must rise up to defend his profession.

C. It was a project organized by Toastmasters.

D. He couldn't have people attacking science.

27. What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech?

A. Passion can motive us to achieve the unachievable.

B. Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort.

C. Science can lead us to make wonderful changes.

D. Frustration can be stepping stones to success.

C

Biological age might help determine your quality of life as you get older, since your cells and organs have ages varying from your regular age. Many aging-research scientists believe that knowing your biological age could help you postpone or avoid age-related illnesses, and better predict an individual’s lifespan(寿命). Other scientists argue that there's no standard way to measure biological age. At the center of the debate are hopes that people can extend their lives by changing their behaviors.

Since everybody's genes(基因) are different, tracking your biological age could help determine your most helpful habits and customize them. People also can attempt to lower their biological age through ways of effectively managing stress.

Dr. Sinclair at Harvard is developing a biological-age test based on chemical changes on DNA. He plans to launch it with a new company called Tally Health. Though criticized by other scientists for hyping the results of some of his findings for his business, he says that he doesn't overstate his research findings.

Inside Tracker, a personalized-nutrition company founded by scientists, calculates biological age by having users take blood tests and analyzing the samples for marks of diseases. Those who test as older than their years get recommendations to adjust diet, exercise and medicine.

Many other health startups are offering testing that claims to calculate biological age, sometimes with little scientific backing, and designing medicine aimed at boosting youthfulness.

Stephen Robert tested himself earlier this year with an at-home blood test as an effort to improve his health at age 51. “I drink and smoke,” he says, so he expected his biological age to be a lot older than his calendar age. He says he was shocked when test results reported his biological age was 24.

Gordan Lauc, professor of biochemistry and chief scientific officer of GlycanAge, says the results make sense given Mr. Robert's genetics—longevity runs in his family and lifestyle, which is likely less stressful.

28. What can people do after knowing their biological ages?

A. Improve their calendar ages to prevent diseases.

B. Determine ways to effectively manage stress.

C. Get personalized-nutrition plan to improve health.

D. Lengthen their lives by changing their conduct.

29. Why did some scientists criticize Dr. Sinclair?

A. He overstated his findings to make a profit.

B. His scientific research was far from mature.

C. His company let out people's biological age.

D. Biological-age test did harm to people's health.

30. What accounts for Stephen's young biological age according to Gordan?

A. He manages stress in life successfully. B. He had good nutrition at his childhood.

C. His family has a long-life tradition. D. He has improved his biological life.

31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Understand Your Calendar Life and Stay Healthy

B. Meet Your Biological Age and Extend Your Life

C. Improve Your Biological Age with Good Habits

D. Employ Biological Technology to Start Business

D

Discussions about the impact of false news often center on our preference of confirmation: we tend to believe and share things that fit with our prior beliefs. A new study finds that we're poor judges of truthfulness even when we can't trust a particular source—and we overestimate our powers of judgment.

In three experiments, the researchers asked participants to record two short videos, one to describe a real-life news event and one to make up an event. They were told they would get a reward if viewers thought that the events described in either video were true. Viewers, for their part, were paid both for accuracy and for correctly estimating their accuracy.

Across all the experiments, viewers’ ability to distinguish lies from truth stayed at or just above 50%, just like flipping(抛) a coin to decide. They believed false videos and doubted true ones. More than 65% of men and 61% of women thought they'd performed better than they actually had.

In one of the experiments, the researchers explored whether certain behaviors exhibited in the videos were associated with lying. This pointed to several clues, and analysis suggested that viewers noticed the clues, but they tended to interpret them in the wrong direction. For example, they judged wordier videos to be true.

In the final experiment, some viewers were shown eight videos, including one shared by a previous viewer because he or she found it to be interesting and believable. They selected one of the eight to watch and assess for truthfulness. Knowing that a video had been shared greatly increased the chances that participants would choose it to watch, and they believed what the previous viewer had thought to be true. Actually most of the shared videos were false and had been misjudged by the first viewers.

“The combination of overconfidence and being bad at detecting lies, with an overreliance on shared content, may explain why fake news is so prominent and influential,” the researchers write.

32. How do people judge false news according to the new study?

A. On the basis of careful research. B. According to personal preferences.

C. Based on the influence of the news. D. After attending a group discussion.

33. What can we learn about the participants in the experiments?

A. Most of them performed better than expected.

B. Some of them flipped coins to make a judgment.

C. They tended to see the clues in the opposite way.

D. They made good judgment when given good clues.

34. What affected the judgment of some participants in the final experiment?

A. The opinions of previous viewers. B. Their ability to tell lies from truth.

C. The number of videos offered to them. D. The nature of the behaviors in the videos.

35. What's the text mainly about?

A. It's important to tell false news from real news.

B. Shared videos usually carry misjudged news.

C. False news is made by combining several forces.

D. Preferences determine our judgment of fake news.

Every year on the third Sunday in June, Father's Day is celebrated by families all around the world. We celebrate and honor fathers and their influence in our lives. Apart from your biological father, you can also celebrate grandfathers, stepfathers, and others you consider father figures. __36__

The history of Father's Day goes back to 1908, when a church in West Virginia honored 362 men killed the previous year in a coal mining explosion. The following year, a woman named Dodd started her quest to establish Father's Day as a national holiday. __37__ So she thought fathers should be honored in the same way as mothers.

__38__ It was finally declared a national holiday in 1972. It took more than 60 years from the birth of the idea to Father's Day actually being recognized as a holiday. __39__ In the 1920s and 1930s, there was a national movement to get rid of both Mother's and Father's Day and replace them with one “Parent's Day”. Meanwhile, many fathers didn't want such a holiday. After all, as the only breadwinners at the time, they didn't particularly want their hard-earned cash spent on flowers and chocolates.

__40__ Struggling businessmen pushed the gift-giving holiday during the Depression, and during the War, Father's Day became a way to honor the many fathers serving overseas. By the time President Nixon signed the Father's Day as a holiday, it was already a national institution.
