TEXT 1

 

    Most museums lead visitors through a series of rooms. But the Guggenheim Museum, in New York City,
is round. Spaces flow smoothly from one area to another. In place of steps, a ramp goes round and round past
the art on the different levels. The center of the museum is open, so people can look up toward the roof or down
toward the ground floor.
[5]    The Guggenheim opened in October of 1959. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. He died six months
before it opened. Not everyone liked the unusual design. But it produced one of the most recognizable museums
in the world.
    A fiftieth anniversary exhibition will honor the architect and his work. The exhibition will show sixty-four
projects that he designed, including homes, public buildings and religious spaces. More than two hundred of his
[10] original drawings will be shown. The Guggenheim says the aim is to celebrate the basic idea behind Wright's
architecture -- the sense of freedom in interior space.

 

TEXT 2
    This year is the fiftieth birthday of Barbie. The doll first appeared at the toy fair in New York on March
ninth, 1959.
    Its creator was Ruth Handler, an American businesswoman. She named the new doll after herr daughter
[15] Barbara. She based the design on a German doll named Bild Lilli.
    The first Barbie wore a black and white swimsuit and had her hair in a ponytail. She looked and seemed
very grown up. But any concerns that parents would not want to buy it for little girls were soon proved wrong.
    The company sold 3,000,000 Barbie dolls in the first year at a price of U$3.00. Today, a fifty-year-old
Barbie in good condition might cost more than U$27,000.00.
[20]    Barbies have represented fifty different nationalities and are sold in one hundred fifty countries. The
company says 99% of girls in the United States between the ages of three and ten own at least one Barbie doll.
It says girls between the ages of three and six own an average of about twelve.
    Barbie has also faced her share of critics. Saudi Arabia has banned Barbie dolls. And a lawmaker in the
American state of West Virginia would like to do the same. Last month, he proposed banning sales of Barbie and
[25] other dolls that influence girls to put too much importance on physical beauty. Robin Gerber wrote a book about
Barbie. She says Ruth Handler wanted the dolls to help girls think about what they wanted to do with their lives.

Beyond Visible Light

 

The rainbow of light that the human eye can see is a small portion of the total range of light, known in science as the electromagnetic spectrum. Telescopes can be engineered to detect light outside the visible range to show us otherwise hidden regions of space. The James Webb Space Telescope detects near-infrared and mid-infrared wavelengths, the light beyond the red end of the visible spectrum. Infrared light reveals new details in images, deepening our understanding of celestial objects.

About This Image

 

       This infographic illustrates the spectrum of electromagnetic energy, specifically highlighting the portions detected by  NASA’s Hubble, Spitzer, and Webb space telescopes. The portion of the spectrum labeled “visible,” with the colors of the rainbow, is what humans detect as visible light. Beyond the red end of the visible spectrum, the wavelengths are longer than the human eye can detect. The portion of the spectrum immediately beyond red is called infrared. Humans can feel infrared energy as heat. Each of these telescopes detects portions of the infrared spectrum and astronomers can analyze that data, essentially making the invisible visible. Longer wavelengths like infrared, microwave, and radio waves are able to pass through areas of dense gas clouds and other matter in the universe where shorter wavelengths get trapped. By detecting these longer wavelengths with telescopes, we are able to see things in the universe that we could never see in visible light. The infographic demonstrates how much of the electromagnetic spectrum each of these telescopes covers and also their combined coverage. There are other telescopes that detect other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and together these scientific instruments give us a more complete picture of the universe and how it functions.
