27、The Jishou Art Museum is located at the center of an old town in the city of Jishou. A river called Wanrong runs through the old town, adding a touch of serenity to the historical site. The architects decided to build the museum on top of the river in the shape of a bridge. By making the museum into a bridge, they hoped that people in Jishou would encounter art on their way to work, school, or shops, instead of only seeing it on a special trip.
Typical contemporary cultural institutions, such as museums and grand theaters, are treated as freestanding monuments, far away from the communities. The Jishou Art Museum, however, is integrated into the existing urban framework and well-connected with shops, restaurants, and small hotels, often with owners living upstairs.
Covered bridge (廊桥) has a long tradition in this mountainous region of China. It is used not only for crossing a river but also as a public space where travelers can rest and vendors (小贩) can set up stands. As a modern interpretation of this building type, the Jishou Art Museum has introduced art as a new addition to the covered bridge.
The art museum is composed of two bridges, one on the top of the other. The lower level is an open steel structure that looks like a roofed street for passersby and allows the flow of crowds; the upper level is a concrete arch with a small gallery inside. In between the two bridges is the art museum’s main hall for temporary exhibitions. The entrance hall, administrative office, souvenir shop, and tearoom are situated at either end of the bridge.
The Jishou Art Museum Project was initiated and supported by Huang Yongyu, a contemporary Chinese artist. The museum was completed in 2019 and had its grand opening in the summer of 2021.
【1】Why was the art museum built in the shape of a bridge?
A．To help it stand on the river.

【2】What distinguishes the art museum from typical cultural institutions?
A．It contains shops and hotels.
B．It is located in the city center.
C．It is a freestanding monument.
D．It is easily accessible from communities.
【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about regarding the art museum?
A．Its origin.
B．Its structure.
C．Its exhibitions.
D．Its significance.
【4】In which column of a magazine may the text appear?
A．History.

28、 Problems between parents and children are common and timeless. If you are looking to improve your relationship with your parents, there are a number of steps that can be taken to make that happen.
1. Act first. 【1】 If you want to improve your relationship with your parents, you should start right away and act first.
2. Be grateful. Let your parents know that you are grateful for all that they have done for you. It can hurt to feel taken for granted, even for parents. 【2】 Get them a nice gift or do some extra housework without being asked. They will likely be happy with you for this.
3. Take their perspective. 【3】 They grew up in a different generation with different social norms and rules of conduct, with different technologies and ways of thinking, with parents who treated them in different ways. Think about the ways that their lives may have been different from your life, and how these different histories may be contributing to issues in the relationship.
4. Develop your own identity. 【4】 Be sure to honestly answer questions such as “what feelings do I want to feel most?” or “what are my talents?” or “what should I spend more of my time on?” In gaining a new sense of autonomy and separation from your parents, you may find that your relationship improves gradually.
5. 【5】 One way to improve your relationship is to be more willing to talk to your parents about things that you may feel are uncomfortable. Keep in regular contact so your parents can get a better perspective on your life, what upsets you, and what makes you happy. If they do not know you that well, it will be difficult for them to try to improve the relationship.
A．Accept that your parents are different.
B．Don’t ask for their advice unless you really want it.
C．Show your appreciation with your actions.
D．Avoid unnecessary arguments.
E．Don’t wait for your parents to try to improve the relationship.
F．Be open and honest.
G．It is healthy for you to have your own opinion on matters.
