photos

be

banned

in

art

galleries？

The

Frick

Collection

is

a

famous

gallery

（美术馆）

in

New

York.

Walking

through

the

galleries

is

like

travelling

back

in

time.

Recently，the

gallery

decided

to

make

a

（an）

(11)

：it

decided

to

ban

（禁止）

photography

in

its

galleries.

Some

art

fans

are

glad

there

won't

be

lots

of

people

holding

up

cameras，but

others

say

the

new

rule

isn't

fair.

What

do

you

think？Should

taking

photos

be

banned

in

galleries？

Yes—it

spoils

the

experience

Galleries

can

help

us

(12)

with

art

and

awaken

our

senses.

When

visitors

keep

trying

to

take

photos

in

galleries，they

miss

out

on

making

the

most

of

the

beautiful

art.

Getting

the

most

from

art

takes

full

attention—

theaters，

(13)

，use

darkness

to

focus

the

audience's

attention.

Without

screens

visitors

can

really

look

at

the

artworks

and

focus

on

how

each

piece

makes

them

feel.

A

no-photo

rule

might

also

(14)

the

crowds

around

the

most

famous

artworks，where

people

wait

to

get

the

perfect

photo.

Gift

stores

benefit

too

because

when

visitors

buy

some

souvenirs

instead

of

taking

photos，it

makes

money

for

the

galleries

and

helps

them

stay

open.

No—taking

photos

is

part

of

modern

life

Photos

allow

visitors

to

share

experiences

such

as

enjoying

art

with

friends

or

family

who

aren't

there.

Also，it

requires

(15)

to

truly

understand

the

piece

of

art.

But

if

the

gallery

is

busy，you

can't

stop

in

front

of

a

display

for

ages.

Having

photos

of

their

favourite

pieces

allows

visitors

to

revisit

and

reflect

on

what

they've

seen

after

they

have

left

the

gallery.

Besides，smartphones

can

offer

a

chance

to

get

the

(16)

experience

through

gallery

apps

and

QR

codes，which

provide

more

information

about

artworks

and

artists.

Galleries

their

was

Tuesday

night.

On

the

balcony

of

my

tenth-floor

apartment,

I

looked

at

the

sky

with

eager

eyes,

hoping

to

see

a

shooting

star.

"Shooting

stars

are

lucky."

Grandma

always

says.

"Will

I

see

a

shooting

star

tonight,

Grandma？"

"There

are

too

many

lights

tonight,

Judy,"

Grandma

said,

"and

I

hear

dreams

calling."

She

kissed

my

hair

and

put

me

to

bed.

When

I

woke

up

the

next

morning,

I

smelled

buttermilk

biscuits.My

favourite!

"Your

shooting

stars

came

for

breakfast!"

Grandma

winked.

In

her

hands

was

a

plate

of

star-shaped

biscuits,

each

with

a

lovely

little

tail

My

eyes

went

wide,

and

then

they

filled

with

something

shining.

Then

it

was

time

for

school.

Before

the

third

floor,

the

elevator

stopped

with

a

loud

noise

and

went

dark.

My

heart

pounded

so

hard

that

I

felt

the

beating

in

my

ears.

Grandma

rang

the

bell

for

help.

Then,

in

the

darkness,

she

found

my

cold

hand.

She

began

to

hum（哼曲子）,

and

soon,

my

shaky

voice

joined

hers.

Grandma's

little

song

seemed

to

havemagic

power.

Before

long,

our

neighbours

helped

us

out.

But

I

didn't

want

to

go

to

school

any

more.

"A

stuck

elevator

doesn't

get

to

decide

your

day.

Let's

go."

Grandma

took

my

hand

and

walked

out

to

school,

humming

our

favourite

song…

When

I

got

home,

Grandma

was

cooking

in

the

kitchen.

I

told

her

about

school.

"Sarah

found

a

four-leaf

clover.

Ben

got

the

last

cookie

from

the

cafeteria..

Will

I

see

a

shooting

star

tonight？"

"The

night

isn't

over

yet.

Go

to

the

balcony

and

wait."

Grandma

smiled.

After

dinner,

I

couldn't

find

Grandma

anywhere.

I

went

to

the

balcony

alone,

still

hoping

to

see

a

shooting

star.

Suddenly,

the

dark

sky

was

lit

up.

I

nearly

shouted

out.

A

shooting

star？!But

then—boom!—a

fountain

of

gold

sparks

exploded

right

above

me,

dancing

and

falling

slowly.

Fireworks!

Before

I

could

catch

my

breath,

another

followed,

a

shining

blue,

then

a

red,

painting

the

quiet

night

with

bright

colours.

My

heart

jumped

with

joy

and

wonder.

When

I

turned

around,

I

saw

Grandma

standing

in

the

doorway,

with

an

empty

firework

box

in

her

left

hand.

"Do

you

like

the

shooting

stars

tonight？"

She

smiled.

At

that

very

moment,

I

realized：I

may

not

be

"lucky"

in

a

traditional

way,

but

I

know

I

AM

truly

lucky.(1)Where

Judy

wait

to

see

underlined

phrase

"magic

power"

refer

to？

was

doing

when

was

on

the

balcony

alone？

______(6)How

do
