Museo Casa Mollino
This museum is the former house of the famous Italian architect Carlo Mollino.He redesigned it in the 1960s as a secret shelter, never telling anyone about the apartment and never actually spending a single night there.Instead, he created a kind of pharaoh's tomb; symbols of ancient Egypt and surrealist (超现实主义) details can be found everywhere, from zebra and leopard print to a 19th century boat shaped bed.Now a father son team manages this fascinating historic home and offers enthusiastic guided tours.
Museo Nazionale del Cinema
Turin's Museo Nazionale del Cinema serves as a major landmark of the city.What was designed and constructed as a Jewish temple in 1889 now houses an engaging permanent collection of devices, objects, posters and other souvenirs, showing the history of movies.There's also a lift to the roof, offering incredible sights of the city and its mountainous background.
Turin street art
To see a more contemporary side of Turin's artistic offering, take a walking Guided Street Art Tour through the city's lively street art neighbourhoods.Turin has long been a center for street artists, with works from famous international artists dotted all around town and now several festivals celebrating the genre held here each year.Fans of street art will be impressed by the city's many large wall paintings, including pieces by Austrian artist Nychos and Italian artist Millo.

Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson arrived in New York five years ago with a passion for visual storytelling.To his surprise, the city's libraries and museums held more photographs documenting Africa's past and present than he had ever seen in Ghana.“How could our history be better kept here than at home？” he wondered.This realization became the start of his life's work: to build a library in Ghana where Africans could reclaim their stories through photography.
Growing up, Ninson loved family stories told by his grandparents, but photography was seen as an unwise career choice in Ghana.However, he sold his smartphone to buy a camera and taught himself the skill.His early projects, like recording a Kenyan community started by women pursuing freedom, strengthened his belief that Africans must own their visual history.
In 2019, Ninson joined a photography school in New York.There, he eagerly read hundreds of photobooks — a clear difference from Ghana, where such books were rare.When museums refused to share their records, Ninson promised to build his own library.He searched secondhand stores, asked publishers for help, and filled storage units with over 30,000 books, even using up all his credit card limits.His friend Brandon Stanton's D|S1.2 million online fundraiser made the dream possible.With the funds, Ninson shipped the books to Ghana and established the library.
On a December morning in 2022, the Dikan Center — “take the lead” in Ghana's Akan language — opened in Accra, near the Gulf of Guinea's historic coast.The library's two collections celebrate African views: one focuses on Africa and Africans living abroad, the other displays works by photographers worldwide.Among its treasures is Ninson's first New York purchase：The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today, a 1940s photobook documenting Ghana's history before it gained independence in 1957.“It reminds us where we've been and where we're going，” he says.

Many of us wake up constantly throughout the night and a growing number are simply too addicted to our smartphones to put them down and go to bed.But what's the worst kind of sleep for your health
Reporting in the journal Sleep, lead author Patrick Finan, and his colleagues conducted one of the first studies comparing the two types of sleep — interrupted sleep and short sleep — in a group of 62 healthy men and women who were good sleepers.The participants spent three days and nights in a sleep lab and answered questions about their mood every evening before nodding off.A third were randomly assigned to be woken up several times a night, another third were not allowed to go to sleep until later but weren't woken up, and the final group, which acted as the control, was allowed to sleep uninterrupted through the night.
When Finan compared the three groups' mood ratings, he found that the interrupted and short sleepers both showed drops in positive mood after the first night.But on the next nights, the interrupted sleepers continued to report declining positive feelings while the short sleepers did not — they stayed at about the same level they had reported after the first night.When he looked at the brain patterns of the two disrupted sleep groups, he found that those who woke up repeatedly showed less slow_wave_sleep,_or the deep sleep that is normally linked to feeling restored and rested, than those getting the same amount of sleep but in a continuous session.“We saw a drop in slow wave sleep so large and sudden, and it was associated with a striking drop in positive mood that was significantly different than in the other group，” he says.
As he notes, “we should be paying attention to not just the quantity or quality of sleep, and not simply the quantity or quality of mood or emotions, but the combination of the two.”
8．What was the main purpose of the final group in the study
A．To provide standard sleep data for comparison.
B．To test the effect of sleep length on mood changes.
C．To measure the impact of mood on sleep quality.
D．To compare different methods of sleep interruption.
9．Which situation best matches the study's findings
A．A student stays up all night but feels fine after sleeping.
B．A nurse with frequent night interruptions feels worse over time.
C．A programmer sleeping 4 hours undisturbed stays positive.
D．A parent wakes once but can no longer fall asleep.
10．What does the underlined term “slow wave sleep” in paragraph 3 most likely refer to
A．Light, easily disturbed sleep. B．Refreshing deep sleep.
C．Dream related sleep. D．dreamy pre sleep state.
11．Which of the following is the suitable title for the text
A．How Smartphone Use Before Bed Threatens People
B．Why Deep Sleep Matters More Than Sleep Duration
C．Why Interrupted Sleep Is Worse Than Short Sleep
D．How to Improve Sleep Quality in a Busy World

As a social psychologist, I have devoted my research career to a simple, but universal question: what makes for a good life, and how can we achieve it Historically, we have been presented with two possibilities: pursuing a life of happiness, or a life of meaning.Each of these paths has its benefits, but decades of psychological research have also revealed their limits.
The current cultural conception of happiness, for example, can work against us finding fulfillment.Today many expect it to come from individual success, making negative emotions seem like personal failures.
Ask the Danes and Finns, who consistently rank among the happiest people in the world, what their secret is and they'll tell you this: lower your expectations.It sounds good, doesn't it But it's a bit like being a college student who only takes easy courses to be sure of getting good grades.Might there be more to life than simple pleasures and relaxing comfort
Then there's the meaningful life.We often imagine that meaning flows from trying to change the world.The pressure to realise it can be taxing, and feels out of reach for most of us.Once again, the research shows that lowering our sights and focusing on the little things can offer a more achievable sense of meaning.Often people find it in routines like taking care of family, volunteering in the community.But there is also a dark side: researchers have found that it can encourage people to draw sharp lines between those with a shared identity and those without.It can come at the expense of sympathy for those unlike us.
All this led me to outline a third route to fulfillment: a psychologically rich life, one filled with diverse, unusual and interesting experiences that change your viewpoint; a life with ups and downs, variety and complexity.Such experiences can kick start the psychological immune (免疫) system, making us able to bounce back more easily.Most importantly, it is accessible to everyone.Better still, it can have meaning and happiness as its byproduct.
12．What does the comparison to a college student taking easy courses imply
A．Academic success ensures lifelong fulfillment.
B．Lowering expectations guarantees happiness.
C．Simple pleasures are essential for mental health.
D．Avoiding challenges limits deeper experiences.
13．What problem may arise from focusing on meaningful routines
A．Lower personal joy. B．Less care for other groups.
C．Too much pressure. D．Harm to family bonds.
14．What is the key feature of psychological richness according to the text
A．It wins social recognition.
B．It meets everyone's needs.
C．It enhances adaptability to challenges.
D．It provides immediate happiness.
15．What is the author's main purpose in writing the text
A．To introduce a new life philosophy.
B．To criticize interpretations of success.
C．To promote positive psychology.
D．To compare happiness strategies.
