I learned my third year of middle school when the new term began. There is a new   11  course. I am stepping into the magical world of chemicals with lots of doubt. I did lots of experiments and exercise,   12    I still didn’t do well in my monthly exam. It made me sad. I wanted to do something to improve my chemistry grades.

三、阅读单选
Should Museums Be Free?
I think that museums should be free for young people. They give young people the chance to not only enjoy arts but also learn the value of culture. Generally, in Japan, most students learn about different cultures only by reading textbooks at school. However, it’s very important for them to understand cultures “directly”. By watching works of art directly, it’s possible for students to get something that textbooks can’t give them. For that reason, I believe that museums should be free.
—Norika
Art creates life and life is valuable. Giving something a value of $0 does not attract(吸引) people to it, and nor does it encourage them to value it. Human beings usually look up to things that are difficult or expensive to get a better way is to ask regular visitors to pay to visit museums but provide free tickets for students having lessons there.
—Linda
Museums need money to support themselves and protect museum collections(收藏品). Arti
sts should be thanked and respected for their hard work, and museum workers need to be paid. For all these museums need money. If you don’t have to pay to enter a museum, how will the museum keep running?
—Richard
Why should you have to pay to learn? You shouldn’t! The museum gift shops make money. My point is, think of all the people who don’t get to go to museums because they don’t have the money. Museums are so fun but many people don’t get to experience them.
