In 1795, Mungo Park, a Scottish explorer, was sent out to discover the course of the Niger River.
Mungo Park set off from the Gambia River. He started his journey dressed in European clothes, with an umbrella and a tall hat.
Park knew little Arabic—he had with him two books, Richardson’s Arabic Grammar and a copy of Irish explorer Daniel Houghton’s journal. Houghton’s journal, which he had read on the voyage to Africa served him well and he was forewarned to hide his most valuable belongings from the locals. However, at his first stop, Park was taken prisoner by the locals.
After four months, Park finally managed to escape. He had a few belongings left other than his hat but refused to give up the expedition(探险). Park continued on his way to the Niger, reaching the river on 20 July 1796. Park traveled as far as SEngland.
Park was a success, and his book Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa sold out rapidly. His ￡1，000 royalties(稿酬) allowed him to settle in Selkirk. But settled life soon bored him and he looked for a new adventure.
Finally in 1805 Park led an expedition to follow the Niger to its end. Against logic and advice, Mungo Park set off from the Gambia in the rainy season. By the time the expedition reached Sandsanding on the Niger, only 11 of the original 40 Europeans were still alive. Park’s letters back to London made no mention of his problems. The party rested for two months but the deaths continued. Sending the local guide, Isaaco, back to Laidley with his journals, Park was determined to continue. Unfortunately, after a journey of over 1，000 miles on the river, Park and his small party were drowned.

This year, the Paris museum that looks like a jumble(杂乱的一堆) of giant, colored pipes turns 42. The museum—the Pompidou Center—has a secure place in the heart of Paris and in Parisians’ hearts. But it wasn’t always the case.
“When it was first built, the reaction was one of disbelief，” said Serge Lasvignes, president of the Pompidou Center. “Le Monde newspaper wrote the museum’s construction brought shame on Paris, and city politicians thought their money had been totally wasted，” said Lasvignes. Critics said it looked like an oil refinery(炼油厂)．
France’s first museum entirely devoted to contemporary art saw the light of day thanks to the determination of one man—Georges Pompidou, an art lover who served as France’s president from 1969 to 1974.
In 1971, he started an international competition to build the museum, originally known as the
Center Beaubourg. The winning team, which included three young architects from Britain and Italy, was completely unknown at the time. Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, the two architects who saw the project through, made the plan a reality.
“They didn’t think they had a chance to win. So they thought they might as well do exactly what they wanted，” Lasvignes said.
“The design took everyone by surprise and it was completely different from any other museum. Someone said to Piano, ‘Your thing is terrible—with the escalator(自动扶梯) on the outside, it looks like a supermarket！’” Lasvignes added.
“More than forty years later, the museum still tries to make culture available to everyone，” Lasvignes said. He calls the Pompidou Center a museum like no other. “We are not only a museum，” he said. “We have concerts, debates, performances, a library...and everything flows together.” Pompidou felt putting up walls between different forms of art was harmful. “So we are a house of culture where people return again and again，” Lasvignes said.
The Pompidou Center is Europe’s biggest modern art museum; New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is the biggest in the world. “But the two museums have totally different strategies(策略)，” Lasvignes said. “The MoMA’s strategy is to collect masterpieces, and we try to represent an entire epoch(时代)．”
