We look ahead to London’s art and exhibition openings and select the must-see shows.
Double science
It’s a big month for the Science Museum, with a new gallery and an exhibition opening. The Science City gallery tells the story of London between 1550 and 1800 when major scientific breakthroughs were happening across the city—from Newton’s laws of physics to the birth of microscopes allowing us to see the tiny creatures that live among us. If that isn’t enough, there’s also an exhibition on how art and science have worked closely together over the centuries and continue to do so today.
Science City 1550—1800: The Linbury Gallery at the Science Museum. 12 September—13 October, free.
The Art of Innovation: From Enlightenment to Dark Matter at the Science Museum.
25 September—26 January, free but ticketed.
Are you worried yet?
We all suffer from anxiety. Artists look into this through artworks that bring to light their own anxieties or how people living with anxiety manage. The exhibition also covers what anxiety would look like if it could be visualized in light or sound—something we imagine to be impossible.
On Edge: Living in an Age of Anxiety at Science Gallery. 19 September—19 January, free.

A couple in their 60s has traveled 12,000 miles across 16 countries from Britain to China—riding their bikes the entire way. Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traveled across cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.
Peter said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead chose to book a cabin (小艙) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage (航行) from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.
“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you are going to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable,” Peter said.
Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After several months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.
Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire trip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink. Chris said, “It was a wonderful experience, particularly wonderful because of the amazing people we met along the way.”

Students in a college French class have helped fill the empty bookshelves of a very poor Haitian school by writing 90 books. Although many children in Haiti speak Creole (克里奧爾語(yǔ)) at home, French is taught in classrooms and used by the government, and students are asked to know the language in order to get further education. Therefore, the class hoped to provide resources to help the young students learn French well.
The project, called Little French Books, was headed up by Jennifer Shotwell, a French professor at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. Shotwell had visited Haiti with a group of students in 2013 to support a Haitian student and give books to a new library. Following the trip, Shotwell brought the experience back to her classroom.
“My students have a chance to use the French language in a special way by writing children’s books,” Shotwell said. “Though some learners don’t think they can produce much with a new language, my students are learning to express themselves and create entertaining stories that we finally share with disadvantaged children who are also learning French.”
Shotwell had sent French books to Haitian schools, but they were printed on cheap paper that could be easily broken. So she started a Kickstarter, which collected more than $1,000 to make books with durable covers.
The books, which included stories about princesses, dinosaurs and exciting experiences, were given to the St. Gabriel’s school in Lascahobas.
“Each time a child gets into a new book, he will no doubt get new knowledge and new understanding. The Little French Books means a lot to our students,” said Gardy Myrtil, a teacher at the school.
28. Why do the students create books for children in Haiti?
A. To help the children learn French. B. To stop the children from speaking Creole.
C. To follow the government’s requirements. D. To make the library open with enough books.
29. What can we learn about the project of Little French Books?
A. It was started in 2013 by a student." " " " B. It helps set up many new libraries in Haiti.
C. It is in the charge of Jennifer Shotwell." " D. It provides textbooks as well as storybooks.
30. Which word can replace the underlined word “durable” in Paragraph 4?
A. Strong." " B. Colorful." " C. Beautiful." " D. Thin.
31. What do Gardy Myrtil’s words suggest in the last paragraph?
A. More libraries should be open for kids.
B. She is thankful to the project for its effort.
C. Kids should read more books in their free time.
D. The more books kids read, the cleverer they’ll be.

Many people think of Philadelphia as the place where the Liberty Bell, a symbol of America’s independence, is located. But there is another side to the city—its murals (壁畫(huà)). In neighborhoods throughout the city, you will find more than 4,000 murals painted on the sides of buildings.
The murals are of different sizes, shapes and colors. Some murals are painted directly onto the buildings. Others are painted on paper and then fitted onto the wall like a puzzle (謎).
The Mural Arts Program began in 1984 as part of Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network. Today, lots of artists are painting murals with the help of community members. The program welcomes everyone to paint and is now working with more than 25,000 local people of all ages and backgrounds. A mural called Finding Home, for example, was created by homeless people.
Artist Meg Saligman, who has painted many murals around the city, says that she is honored to take part in the program and that she hopes it can bring changes.
“Spending a couple of hours painting with others is a great experience,” says Deborah O’Brien, a Philadelphia volunteer. The murals, she adds, represent the diversity and sense of community.
Murals can last anywhere from 5 to 25 years. When a mural starts to fade (褪色), the program tries to save it. “People are sad and angry when you take a mural away because people really love them,” says Saligman.
Mural subjects range from sports to politics to history. That means everyone can have a favorite. If you’re planning to visit Philadelphia, be sure to check out the colorful murals.
