One of the most relaxing ways to travel is a cruise. A cruise needn’t be expensive. Cruise ships have lots of 【小题1】 class rooms and free activities. Other than the ticket, you don’t have to pay anything you don’t want. You can enjoy 【小题2】 food in the ship’s many dining rooms and have a wonderful ocean 【小题3】 every day. You can experience unique local cultures when the ship stops at different seaside 【小题4】. Of course, if the ship stays at a city for several days, you can even 【小题5】 at a local hotel for a few nights, so you can see more of the local sights.

Every year, plenty of people go to see the 【小题1】 of Beijing. This summer vacation my parents also decided to take me there. On the way to Beijing, we stopped our car again and again to enjoy the 【小题2】. After arriving in Beijing, we lived at the 13th floor of a hotel from whose window we had a better 【小题3】 of the city. We did have a good time in Beijing. But on the way back home, we saw the 【小题4】 of an accident, so my mother and I kept reminding my father to drive with caution.

Unlocking The Vatican Museums

Gianni Crea has, almost every morning for the past decade, unlocked the doors to the Vatican Museums. He has seen the splendor of the Sistine Chapel and admired the textures of ancient Egypt. “Yes, I’m a key keeper. But the doors I open are the ones to the history of art, and it’s here that exists the biggest and most beautiful history in the world,” says Crea.

The Vatican Museums have 【小题1】 collections since the 15^th century, including tens of thousands of artworks and artifacts spanning prehistory to modern times. The most 【小题2】 one of them, according to Crea, is Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. He recalls being 【小题3】 with emotion the first time he accompanied the former head key keeper to open the chapel more than 20 years ago. Since then, he’s witnessed people of all faiths 【小题4】 at the chapel’s loveliness, something the church believes is increasingly vital during these unsettled times.

“In the difficult current context the world is experiencing, in which sadness and 【小题5】 seem to have the upper hand, art is more necessary than ever, because beauty is always a source of joy,” Pope Francis said last year.

There is also 【小题6】 scientific evidence to support this view. A 2019 WHO analysis revealed that artistic and cultural activities 【小题7】 physical and psychological health. In fall 2022, physicians at Brussels’ hospitals partnered with the city to launch a six-month 【小题8】 study examining the benefits of “museum prescriptions as supplemental treatment for stress, burnout, and anxiety”. It’s the first investigation of its kind in Europe and is expected to have 【小题9】 effects across the continent. And in the wake of the pandemic (疫情), which forced the Vatican Museums to close three times between 2020 and 2021, there’s a growing movement for wider and easier access to the arts for people’s well-being. “The Vatican Museums must open their doors to people from all over the world, as a(n) 【小题10】 of dialogue between cultures and religions,” Pope Francis wrote in his 2015 publication.

“Everyone can find something beautiful and moving here,” says Crea, who always welcomes travelers from around the world to accompany him during his morning routine on select dates. “The Vatican Museums will give you an understanding of art and history regardless of your faith.”
