14．Throughout the world，museums allow people to explore new cultures and topics through their collections and exhibitions.Check out this comprehensive list of the best museums and galleries throughout the world with one-of-a-kind displays that educate and inspire.
Musée D'Orsay in Paris
The Musée D'Orsay，once a railway station，houses an internationally famous collection of Impressionist art and other Western pieces from 1848 and 1914.Started in 1986，the white limestone walls are now home to some of the most notable artworks in France，like sculptures by Auguste Rodin and paintings by Paul Gauguin.
Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa in Cape Town
With the help of design firm Heatherwick Studio，the once century-old grain silo（谷粮仓）in the heart of Cape Town transformed into a museum which hosts international events and exhibitions to provide an intercultural look into the world of African art.Works from revolutionary artists such as Kudzanai Chiurai of Zimbabwe and Wangechi Mutu of Kenya decorate the nine floors of the museum.

15．As a child，I was proud of my southern origin.My own voice reflected my family's past and present-part northern Mississippi，part Tennessee，all southern.There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother's accent：thick，sweet，warm.
While growing up.I began to realize outside of our region，southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant.I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee，starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities.In that embarrassing space between "teen" and "adult"，my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South.I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer.I would have to talk less "country".So I killed a piece of myself.I'm ashamed of it，but I'm more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily's accent.
I met Emily in college.She was determined to work for the student newspaper，which was where I spent most of my waking hours，and we became friends.She，unlike me，accepted her roots.Early in our friendship，her mother asked where I was from，assuming it was somewhere up north.Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion.I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent.I stressed that throughout our college years，often by making fun of her vowel（元音）sounds.I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter.Now，I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me， "Girl，don't forget where you come from. "Now I truly understand that.Many things have faded from memory，but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity.Now that I am grown and have left the South，it's important to me.
（1）What made the author want to leave her hometown？
A．Appeal of convenience in cities.
B．Her dream of becoming a writer.
C．Outside prejudice against southerners.
D．Her desire for the northern accent.
（2）How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily's mother？
A．Upset.
B．Pleased.
C．Ashamed.
D．Surprised.
（3）Why on earth did the author try to change Emily's accent？
A．To prove herself right.
B．To help Emily be a reporter.
C．To make herself influential.
D．To protect Emily's self-dignity.
（4）What message does the text want to convey？
A．Stay true to your roots.
B．Never do things by halves.
C．Hold on to your dreams.
D．Never judge a person by his accent.组卷：21引用：12难度：0.5
