Changes have come into museums. They are not places that one "should" go any longer but a place to get pleasure.If you go to a science museum in Canada, when harmless electricity passes through your body you can feel your hair stand on end. At the Children’s Museum in New York, you can strike an African drum. In some other museums in the USA, "Do Not Touch" signs do not exist.It is realized by more and more museum directors that when becoming a part of what they are seeing, people get the best learning effect. Many science museums encourage visitors to touch, listen, operate as well as experiment in order that they can discover scientific rules by themselves.The intention of the change is not only to provide pleasure, but make people feel easy in the scientific world. Suppose you don’t understand science, you will fear it; and when you fear science, you may not make the best use of it.The rise in wealth and spare time is one of the reasons for all these changes. Another reason is the increasing number of young people in the whole population. Among them are mainly college students or college graduates, with a new and totally different way of seeing the world. They want art which they can take part in. It’s also true in science and history.Ancient museums have been changing and the government is encouraging to build new, modern museums. There are more than 6,000 museums in the United States and Canada, which are almost twice as it was 25 years ago. The main idea of this text is to()

A. explain the difference between the old and modern museums
B. introduce changes in modern museums
C. encourage people to go to America
D. show people advantages to go museums

听下面一段对话,回答第22至第25题。Wilma Subra had no intention of becoming a public speaker. After graduating from college with degrees in chemistry and microbiology, she went to work at Gulf South Research Institute in Louisiana. As part of her job, she conducted field research on toxic substances in the environment, often in minority communities located near large industrial polluters. She found many families were being exposed high, sometimes deadly, levels of chemicals and other toxic substances, but she was not allowed to make her information public.Frustrated by these restrictions, Subra left her job in 1981, created her own company, and has devoted the past two decades to helping people fight back against giant industrial polluters. She works with families and community groups to conduct environmental tests, interpret test results, and organize for change. Because of her efforts, dozens of toxic sites across the country have been cleaned up, and one chemical industry spokesperson calls her "a top gun for the environmental movement".How has Wilma Subra achieved all this Partly through her scientific training, partly through her commitment to environmental justice. But just as important is her ability to communicate with people through public speaking. "Public speaking," she says, " is the primary vehicle I use for reaching people. "If you had asked Subra before 1981 , " Do you see yourself as a major public speaker" She would have laughed at the idea. Yet today she gives more than 100 presentations a year. Along the way she has lectured at Harvard, testified before Congress, and addressed audiences in 40 states, as well as in Mexico, Canada, and Japan. What has contributed to Wilma Subra’s achievement according to the speaker()

A. Her impressive influence among members of some famous educational institutions.
B. Her excellent communication ability through public speaking.
C. Her support from many different people.
D. Her lifelong commitment to both domestic and global issues.
