The doctor collected books, drawings, clothes, money, animals, flowers and other things from all over the world. The doctor wanted everything to stay together when he died, so that people could come and have a look. He bequeathed(遗赠）his collections to King George II,for the nation.

At first the museum was only open three days a week and only ten people could enter for an hour.There wasn't much time to see things. Visitors had to run through the rooms.By about 1800, things began to get better. Wonderful statues which were three thousand years old arrived from Egypt.King George IV sold all his books to the museum secretly.A hundred years ago not only old books but also new ones arrived at the museum, and more people came to read them.

I also felt that was too dirty. So my impression(印象）on my deskmate began to decline(下降）greatly from then on.One day after school, he invited me to visit his home.Though I wanted to refuse him, I didn't do that because it was his first invitation since we were in the same class.“Mom,I bring my friend home.”Hearing this, his aged mother opened the door and said, “My son's friend comes. Let me have a look. " But his mother, who had just walked out of the door, was only touching the door with her hands. I saw that she was blind.
