Have you ever. wondered what you’d look like if you were an Asian, Middle Eastern, black, white or Indian person? By stepping into the Human Race Machine, you can find out. When you sit inside it, the machine creates a digital image（数学影像）of your face. After pushing certain buttons, the machine uses various photos of peoples of a certain ethnic group（种族）mixed with your own facial features（面部特征）. From this, it can come up with an image showing how you would look like as a member of a different race.
The machine is part of a traveling retrospective（回顾展）called“Seeing and Believing: The Art of Nancy Burson.”Burson is a famous American photographer and inventor. The show of 100 photos and multimedia（多媒体）words was on view at the City Art Gallery in New York on April 20.
“It’s a strange feeling, just like stepping into someone else’s skin,”said Kathy Zajchenko, a museum visitor from Pennsylvania, US．As soon as she sat down, she tried out a range of ethnic groups.“The Middle Eastern image worked pretty well for me,”she said with a smile.
According to Burson, the machine is a prayer for unity. It is about seeing through differences to find the things we all share in common Burson added the database（资料库）of Middle Eastern faces, both Arab and Jewish, after the terrorist attacks（恐怖袭击）on September 11.“I’ve always wanted to allow people to see differently. I’m a photographer. I’m recording the unseen, because what we can’t see is so much more interesting than what we can see,”Burson said.
For those who missed the show, the Human Race Machine will be on view at the New York Hall of Science in the Queens district full-time as of June.

查看习题详情和答案>>Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer．
American public education has changed in recent years．One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools．
In 1991, there were no charter schools in the Unite States．Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia．575．000 students attend these schools．The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older．
A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members．It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school．It receives tax money to operate a number of students．The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning．These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate．
Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools．Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach．
Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals．Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools．Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative．
However, state education agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools．They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools．Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling．
Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget．But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs．Many also lack needed space, District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education．Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space．
