Museum Makers: Exploring Art and Museums Grades 11–12 The Museum Makers program explains how museums operate and what they have to offer. It gives upper-level high school students the tools to experience, understand and interpret art. Participants will gain an insider’s view of how an art museum works.

B From checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games, we tend to overuse technology. “For many people, a moment without your phone or laptop in sight can feel like a lifetime,” the Daily Mail commented. A team from the US-based company Toll Free Forwarding built a three-dimensional model to sniff out the negative effects technology can have on human bodies in less than 800 years. The computer model called Mindy may persuade many people to think twice. “Spending hours looking down at your phone strains your neck and throws your spine (脊 柱) off balance,” explained Caleb Backe, a health and wellness expert in the US. Then, the muscles in our neck need to spend extra effort to support the head, making our back hunched (驼 背的) and neck wide. “The way we hold our phones can cause strain in certain points of contact – causing text 4 （北京）股份有限公司 claw (手机手),” Nikola Djordjevic, a physician in Serbia, told the team. It affects the elbows too, causing pain in the arm. Scientifically, it is called cubital tunnel syndrome (肘管综合 征). That’s why Mindy has a 90-degree elbow, and her hands look like she’s always holding a mobile phone. Some people also commented that human evolution may not work this way. They believe that only features with actual benefits would be kept throughout the years. For example, features that can increase the rate of survival, instead of the negative impact of technology. However, current human lifestyles still raise concerns. A model called Emma was built by researchers in the UK in 2019 to show how the way people work at their desks could change them in 20 years. The research team built Emma based on the health issues mentioned by over 3,000 workers in France, Germany and the UK. Emma’s back stays bent, and her legs are swollen (肿胀 的) due to the time people spend in front of computers. With little time spent outdoors and in the sun, her skin is pale, too. 24. What do the underlined words “sniff out” mean in paragraph 2? A. Detect. B. Approach. C. Polish. D. Contradict. 25. What can we learn from the two models of Mindy and Emma? A. They are built by the same US-based company. B. They both have bent backs and pale skin similarly. C. Everyone doesn’t approve human will evolve the way like Mindy. D. Emma’s strange elbow is due to holding up a phone for a long time. 26. What is the author’s attitude towards this research ? A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Favorable. 27. What is the purpose of the text? A. To compare two computer models Mindy and Emma. B. To illustrate the reasons for overusing phone technology. C. To address the effects caused by too much mobile phone use. D. To remind technological dependence may change our appearance. C Plenty of days, temperatures in California’s Mojave Desert climb above 120 degrees Fahrenheit. 400 silvered glass panels, fixed into the western edge of that hot desert, are there to gene
