When Reginald Johnston, a British scholar (學(xué)者), first walked into the Forbidden City in 1919, most palaces weren't allowed to visit, But a century later, when the People's Republic of China is to celebrate its 70th founding anniversary (周年紀(jì)念) in October, the 599-year-old palace complex (宮殿群) becomes the world's busiest museum.

Open to the public

In the old days. ordinary people could only imagine what it looked like inside. When the Palace Museum was founded in 1925, the public could go into the palaces. Now 80% of the total area of the museum is open to the public and it will increase to 85% in 2025.

Embracing (擁抱) the world

“It felt like you were hit by hundreds of years of history.” Christopher Allen from Britain said. “I begin to love its history and culture.”

The Forbidden City is becoming more open and friendly to visitors. It attracted about 3.5 million visitors from abroad and 9 overseas (海外的) exhibitions were held in 2018.The Palace Museum exhibition becomes a cultural phenomenon (文化現(xiàn)象) everywhere it goes.

Attracting the youth

On the Palace Museums online store on Taobao, you can find more than 10, 000 cultural products. The ones with cute and humorous pictures of emperors are very popular.

Some favourite products also go offline. For example, the “Kangxi Emperor's Favourite Chocolate”, the most popular drink, always has people lining up (排隊) to get a taste.  

As a child, Xu Jing often rode a bike in front of the Meridian Gate (午門). “I had little memory of the museum then, but now I am more willing to visit it after watching several popular TV shows about the museum.” she said.

Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People are thinking about getting a dog for their cat as a friend, but they are worried about that the dog and the cat will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when they are still young（less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs）, it is possible that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship（關(guān)系）.

However, there was something unfriendly between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression（侵略, 好斗）and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away, it means aggression. while a dog doing the same means submission（順從）.

In homes with cats and dogs living in peace, researchers found a surprising behavior（行為）. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk "Dog", and dogs can learn how to talk"Cat".

The interesting thing is that both cats and dogs seem to become smarter. They can learn to read each other's body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common（共同的）than was expected（預(yù)料）. If they understand each other's body language very well, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.

The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond（超過）pets—to people who don't get along well, including neighbours, workmates at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

1.The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

A.早早地 B.主要地 C.迅速地 D.順暢地

2.Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.

A.they are cold to each other B.they look away from each other

C.they can't understand each other's body languages well D.they are introduced at an early age

3.What can people find surprising about cats and dogs?

A.They eat and sleep together. B.They watch each other's behaviors.

C.They learn to speak each other's language. D.They know something from each other's voices.

4.In Paragraph 4 we can learn that cats and dogs ______.

A.have common interests B.are less different than was thought

C.have a common body language D.are not so smart as was expected

5.What can we learn from cats and dogs?

A.We should learn to get along well with others. B.We should know more about animals.

C.We should live in peace with animals. D.We should learn more body languages.
