World’s history in one place
Is it possible to put millions of years of the world’s history into one building The British Museum seems to think so.
“A History of the World in 100 Things”, an exhibition about rare and ancient things from the world, has made it a success.
The British Museum says it owns at least 8 million historical things. But why choose these 100 things to tell stories of our world’s history
It all started with a challenge (挑战).
Neil MacGregor, who was once the director of the British Museum, was asked by BBC to choose 100 things from the museum’s huge collection. The things had to include things from the beginning of human history about 2 million years ago to the present day.
MacGregor accepted, and took four years to choose each thing himself. In 2010, MacGregor appeared on BBC radio, giving a detailed (详细的) explanation of each thing. The show was a big hit and all these 100 things were shown in the British Museum. A book with photos of each thing soon followed.
“The things had to cover the whole world, from a cooking pot to a golden galleon, from a Stone Age tool to a credit card,” MacGregor wrote. The collection includes many important things from China. There is a banknote from the Ming Dynasty, showing China as the first country to use paper money.
But it’s not just ancient things that are shown. Among them are some modern things like a solar-powered lamp and even a throne made of weapons created by an African artist.
“Of course, the collection could only be ‘a’ history of the world. But it is still a history that people in the present world need to know.” MacGregor wrote.

A. TV programme about Africa B. challenge of scientific research

World’s history in one place
Is it possible to put millions of years of the world’s history into one building The British Museum seems to think so.
“A History of the World in 100 Things”, an exhibition about rare and ancient things from the world, has made it a success.
The British Museum says it owns at least 8 million historical things. But why choose these 100 things to tell stories of our world’s history
It all started with a challenge (挑战).
Neil MacGregor, who was once the director of the British Museum, was asked by BBC to choose 100 things from the museum’s huge collection. The things had to include things from the beginning of human history about 2 million years ago to the present day.
MacGregor accepted, and took four years to choose each thing himself. In 2010, MacGregor appeared on BBC radio, giving a detailed (详细的) explanation of each thing. The show was a big hit and all these 100 things were shown in the British Museum. A book with photos of each thing soon followed.
“The things had to cover the whole world, from a cooking pot to a golden galleon, from a Stone Age tool to a credit card,” MacGregor wrote. The collection includes many important things from China. There is a banknote from the Ming Dynasty, showing China as the first country to use paper money.
But it’s not just ancient things that are shown. Among them are some modern things like a solar-powered lamp and even a throne made of weapons created by an African artist.
“Of course, the collection could only be ‘a’ history of the world. But it is still a history that people in the present world need to know.” MacGregor wrote.
１. “A History of the World in 100 Things” is a (n) ________.
A. TV programme about Africa B. challenge of scientific research
C. book about modern development D. exhibition of the world’s history
２. When did MacGregor give a detailed explanation of each thing on BBC radio
A. In 2010. B. In 2009. C. In 2008. D. In 2007.
３. We can learn that the BBC programme made by MacGregor was ________.
A. successful B. expensive C. regulars D. traditional
４. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The things shown cover half of the world.
B. Neil MacGregor used to be a director of BBC.
C. China was the first country to use paper money.
D. The British Museum owns 2 million historical things.
５. How many years did MacGregor use to choose the 100 things
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
