In most museums, theres no shouting and no running, and you arent allowed to touch the exhibits. But the Science Museum is different because its noisy ! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and its a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favorite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button. If you arent fast enough, the lion catches you! Im faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustnt take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like its open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. Its my favorite museum in the whole world.（1）Where does Tony go first when he visits the Science Museum?（2）What can you try out in the Human and Nature room?（3）How much does it cost to go in the Science Museum?（4）How long can you stay at the Science Museum ?（5）What does the writer think of the Science Museum?18. （25分）阅读理解 When you travel to a foreign country, there is one important thing.
