The Teen Astronomy Café program is an out-of-school program that offers high school students opportunities to interact with scientists who work at the forefront of astronomy. The program will be from 9:30 a.m. till noon on one morning each month from October through May (except for January).
Students explore the birth and death of stars, killer asteroids (行星), the structure of the universe, dark energy, dark matter, and more. A hands-on activity related to the short presentation will follow as part of the Teen Astronomy Cafés experience—either as a state-of-the-art computer lab activity, a movie, a deeper discussion, or an exploration of the topic with a 3-D printer. The students will use the actual computer programs and data that the scientists use!
The Teen Astronomy Cafés are open to all high school students at no cost. The program aims to improve student achievement, and fuel (激发) their desire to go to college and pursue a career in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) in the future.

San Francisco, known as "The City by the Bay", packs a lot of fun.
View of Golden Gate Bridge from Baker Beach
As one of the most famous sights in all of San Francisco, the golden gate bridge is an absolute must-see. There are a few good spots to view it from, but my personal favorite is Baker Beach. This is also a particularly good spot to buy a meal from a local market, lay down a blanket and enjoy a picnic in the view of the famous bridge.
Visit the Musee Mecanique
Fisherman's Wharf (码头) is one of the most touristy areas of San Francisco and the overpriced, crowded sights can be tiring. But on Wharf 41, there's a unique attraction: the Musee Mechanique. This museum has one of the largest collections of old indoors game machines in the world, which offers great amusements. Entry is free and it's only a couple of quarters to play the games.
Eat at Spark Social Food Trucks
With such a various population, it can be difficult to decide what cuisine to enjoy for dinner. Luckily at Spark Social Food Trucks in the Mission Bay, you can try a little bit of everything! Not only is the food delicious, but the food truck has a community feel with weekly events and free desserts.
Have Tea at the Japanese Tea Garden
If you desire for some calm on the somewhat noisy streets of San Francisco, the Japanese Tea Garden is perfect. Located in Golden Gate Park, the garden looks exactly like Japan. And you can enjoy tea in the traditional tea house overlooking a lake.
(1) What does the Musee Mechanique offer
A．Amusements. B．Picnic spot.
C．Peace. D．Delicious foods.
(2) Which spot treats tourists to free desserts

In a year when time barely has any meaning, it should come as no surprise that the holidays are right around the corner. That happens fast! Anyway, it's never too early to shop for presents, whether they're for your parents, friends, significant other or even yourself.
Everyone deserves a little something for making it through 2020, so we've put together this list of presents to put a smile on anyone's face. We combed the Internet and went into our testing archives to find the best gifts for him and gifts for her. For more ideas, check out our roundups (综述) of 5-star Amazon gifts and top-rated Nordstrom gifts.
Best gifts for him
Apple Watch Series 6_(starting at $479; amazon.com).
Apple's new smartwatch made a splash in September, when new colors, loops and blood oxygen monitoring capabilities were unveiled (发布). We tested it out and are happy to report it's our pick for the best smartwatch of 2020. We're sure it's going to be a hot gift this year, so get yours early.
Baboon Go-Bag Small ($111.75, originally $149; baboontothemoon.com).
If the guy in your life has been locked up inside the house, it might be time for a weekend getaway (while being safe and socially distant, of course). If that's the case, he'll love this small duffel bag from Baboon to the Moon, which is waterproof and made with super-durable OM Stardust Ballistic shell material. Need more than a weekend It also comes in a larger size for a more extended escape.
Best gifts for her
CRZ Yoga (瑜伽) Women's High-Waist Yoga Pants (裤子) (starting at $24; amazon.com).
If she needs a refresh to her work-from-home outfit, or just a pair of comfortable leggings to lounge around in, this pair from CRZ Yoga is the gift for her. They're similar to Lululemon's cult-favorite Align leggings, but for just $24 you can give her the buttery soft feel without draining your wallet.
Apple iPad 8th Generation (starting at $299, originally $329; amazon.com).
