Glastonbury is the largest green-field music festival. It attracts celebrities（名人）and the world’s biggest bands to the mud of rural Britain every year after it was created in 1970. And don’t forget your tent and boots, for the festival takes place on a farm for 3 days and is infamous for rain!

Japan’s Fuji Rock first took place at the base of Mount Fuji in 1997 and later relocated to Naeba ski resort. The yearly 3-day festival will not be cancelled due to unpleasant weather.

After Stewart and Debbie Wilder lost their son, Cameron, in 2013, the last thing on their minds was decorating for the holiday season. “We haven’t put anything up in three years. It has all stayed boxed up,” said Debbie.
But in December 2016, the house was lit up for Christmas, with little lights cheerfully lining the rood and eaves（屋檐）. It wasn’t the Wilders but a stranger Carson Zickgraf, the founder of CZ Enterprises LLC, who finally made the house shine. “I started crying,” Debbie says about seeing the lights for the first time. “It was really special.”
Zickgraf has been donating his light-stringing services to brighten the lives of families affected by losing their children, especially during the difficult holiday season since 2015 and has decorated the houses of more than two dozen families so far.
He started the project by chance. He was hanging lights on a home when the owner mentioned that some neighbors were having a hard time that holiday season because their son had recently died. Then he had an idea. “I sent my crew there to decorate that house too,” he says. The family was delighted. In fact, he had two friends who had died young, and he’d always wished he could ease the pain for their loved ones. Now, he’s found a way.
“There’s something special about Christmas lights. They warm the spirit.” Zickgraf knows his efforts can’t completely remove the pain from these families, but he can make the holidays a little cheerier. “I wish I had a bigger company so I could do more houses,” he says.
24. How was the Wilders affected by the loss of their son?
A. They didn’t feel like decorating their house for Christmas. B. They were the last to put up some decorations at Christmas. C. They had no one to help decorate their house for Christmas. D. They had the belongings of their son boxed up at Christmas. 25. Why did Zickgraf donate the light-stringing service?
A. To make more houses brighter.
B. To expand his own business.
D. To memorize his dead friends.
C. To relieve the victim family’s pain.

A. Enthusiastic and optimistic. C. Ambitious and generous.
B. Courageous and smart.
D. Considerate and helpful.
27. Which can be the best title for the text?

B. A person brightening houses D. A business hanging lights C
More than 90 years have passed since Hollywood’s official film organization first suggested plans to build its own museum. Those plans are finally becoming a reality, with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures set to open in 2019.
Film historian Kerry Brougher has been named director of the museum. He told VOA the museum would open as Hollywood continues to seek new ways to entertain audiences beyond the movie theater. “Film is expanding,” Brougher said. “It’s in the theaters still, but it’s also projected onto buildings. And it’s also on your iPhone; it’s on your computer.” He added that movies often cross over into the art world too, with major exhibitions including film subjects.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is building the museum, which is expected to cost $388 million to complete. The Academy includes more than 8,000 members, including actors, directors and other professionals in the film industry. The project is underway at the site of an historic Los Angeles department store built in 1939. The County Museum of Art has used the building since 1994.
Brougher says the museum will include a 1,000-seat theater and there will be also areas showing the Academy’s collection of 12 million photographs and 80,000 screenplays. The collection also includes objects from famous films, such as “Casablanca” and “Psycho”. Special collections will also be shown from many film greats, such as Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. Oscar statuettes（奥斯卡小金人）donated by actors who won the awards will be on show as well.

Back in the 20th century, nursing students learned how to give injections by using an orange to simulate（模拟）the skin of a patient. “We don’t do that anymore,” says Lynn Richter, assistant professor at Rush University College of Nursing. Instead, 21st-century nursing students work with lifelike simulators.
obviously, today’s simulators are not the plastic dummies（人体模型）used to learn CPR. Instead, these have lifelike skin and programmable brains to simulate nearly every clinical situation a patient might present, and undergo nearly every clinical nursing procedure. They can simulate shock, a heart attack or even give birth.
“All the nursing students have access to simulators, and it’s increasingly introduced into all the courses,” says Lynn Richter. At Rush, beginning nursing students first meet the simulators in nursing
