You walk into a museum, stop in front of a masterpiece and wish to observe it up close. Instead of having   【小题1】 good view of it, however, you see nothing but raised arms and smart phones. Isn`t it 【小题2】(surprise)?

Nowadays, the use of smart phones in museums 【小题3】(continue) to rise and art experts are concerned about how to get people to truly appreciate artworks rather than simply take photos or record videos to post 【小题4】 social media. Some museums do not allow photography,【小题5】 is less about camera flashes and more about encouraging people to enjoy the experience. Amsterdam`s Rijksumuseum, for example, already 【小题6】(wage) the Big Draw campaign,【小题7】visitors are encouraged to keep their smart phones in their pockets or bags and pick up paper and pencils instead. The national museums is hoping to help visitors discover and appreciate the beauty of art, architecture and history through drawing. Some museums are also asking people to get prepared before their visit by learning about the artworks first. 【小题8】(hope), with these 【小题9】(measure), the experience of visiting museums will be more satisfying than simply recording everything with a smart phones. There have already been some signs of improvement, which is very encouraging, but there is still a long way 【小题10】(go).

In 2012, nearly one hundred million rural people lived in poverty, 【小题1】 (make) up approximately 10% of rural population. However, recent years has seen the continual decrease in this figure, with poverty already 【小题2】 (relieve) in most rural areas. China has done a 【小题3】 (remark) job in fighting against poverty. 【小题4】 is no doubt that the achievements are due to China’s rapid economic development in these years, as without economic 【小题5】 (grow), we would not have won the battle. And so far, people in poverty 【小题6】 (enjoy) the great benefit of the economic development thanks to the fact 【小题7】 our government is actively promoting industrialization and urbanization. Many rural people are attracted to urban areas, 【小题8】 are more likely to have a booming economy. In addition, our country has attached great importance 【小题9】 infrastructure

In some countries in western Europe, life has become difficult for many villages, and some 【小题1】(disappear). There are a number of 【小题2】(reason) for this. Firstly, young people from villages usually want to live somewhere 【小题3】(lively) and they often move to the towns and do not return. Secondly, as there are often very few jobs in the countryside, people would like to move to the cities to find work, leaving their villages 【小题4】(abandon). Sometimes villages remain 【小题5】 people from the cities have bought a “second home” in the village, 【小题6】 they come and stay at weekends. As 【小题7】 result, the price of homes goes up and people from the area can not afford 【小题8】(buy) a house there. Another problem is that 【小题9】 is becoming more and more difficult for farmers to make money from their farms. So they sell their land and find another job.

All these things mean that many villages in western Europe are fighting to survive. We can only hope that they will remain. The countryside would be a sadder and uglier place 【小题10】 them.
