【題目】It’s common to carry things on bikes, trains and even planes. But do you know small drones(無人機(jī)) can help carry packages to your home?

For two years, Google has been working hard in their secret research lab. Their latest project is called Project Wing.

Project Wing is Google’s invention of a drone delivery service. It is half plane and half helicopter and is slightly bigger than a seagull. It can deliver(投遞) packages to buyers by drone to door.

The first drone test was made on a farm in Warwick, Australia. It sent sweets and dog treats to a farmer. The drone flew to the farm, hovered (盤旋), and dropped the package with a wire. Delivery is here!

The best thing about drone delivery services is that delivery time will be greatly cut down. You’ll be able to order what you like online in the morning. And by noontime, the delivery drone will land your package.

Throughout history, there have been different kinds of inventions that have helped people move things around, said Astro Teller, lead scientist of Google Wing, to CNN. Teller thinks Google drones will be the next big step.

Interestingly, drones are not that young. The US has been using armed drones since 2002. But drones may also get another use. Film companies have asked to use drones to shoot videos from the sky.

Yet Google’s delivery drones won’t be able to fly to buyers any time soon. However, Google has proved that drone delivery is possible. And with Amazon announcing their drone delivery service last year, the further research is going on to make delivery drones safe and suitable for buyers.

Decide what museum you will visit. There are so many different kinds of museum and you first need to find one that you like. It's easy for you to choose one and start an enjoyable visit!

Do some research online. Every museum now has a website which allows you to look through the information about it. On the website, you may look for such things as:

The history of the museum—There will often be very interesting stories about the exhibits and the benefactors(捐贈(zèng)者).That can make your visit more interesting.

Activities—See whether there are talks, tours or special activities on the day when you visit. Many museums hold some activities that meet the interests of all age groups.
