Los Angeles is more than just sunshine, sea, and Hollywood stars. It happens to have a world-class art scene, as major museums exhibit masterpieces that you've probably seen prints of in suburban houses and urban loft apartments. Here are the best art museums in Los Angeles.
▪The Broad
One of LA’s newest art museums, The Broad is the collection of Eli and Edythe Broad. The 2,000-strong collection of paintings and sculptures were all created after World War II and artists represented here include Andy Warhol, Barbara Kruger, and Cindy Sherman. Be sure to build in some time to wait in line to get the chance to be surprised at Yayoi Kusama's amazing mirror rooms. Located in Downtown LA, the museum is free of charge for visitors.

▪Getty Center
The Getty, as locals call it, got the art worlds ( and everyone else's) attention when the institution opened up a white, hilltop museum designed by Richard Meier in 1997. Visitors access it via railway and then can explore the campus, taking in the views of the Pacific Ocean on one side and Downtown LA on the other. The collection isn't as strong as other top art institutions in LA but works by Van Gogh, Titian, and Renoir should please the art lover.

I'm worried that you've been addicted to share pictures in WeChat circle recently. You even share all sorts of photo in your daily life. Of course, WeChat makes better to understand each other and makes our life more colorful, which is very convenient for us to communicate. Therefore, there exist some potential trouble if we overshare. One severe problem is leaking privacy, that may cause economic losses. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortably, for they think you are showing off.
Thus, neither should we post our personal information, or should we blindly add strangers in the list of friends. It's much wise to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful, such as reading books or taking exercise.

It’s often said that your parents’ job is to make sure that one day you no longer need them. And that’s certainly the case by the time you have kids of your own. However, this is precisely the time when your parents start to need you. How do you talk to your aging parents about their health? 1., but these tips make it easier.
Before a conversation, you had better establish yourself as a friend, not an enemy. Always start with an “I” statement, not a “you should” statement. 2..
Scientists recommend beginning a conversation about something you’re doing—taking up yoga to stay slim, for instance. 3.. And you can even have her commit to doing it with you. When you’re a friend day-to-day, your parents will trust you and be able to depend on you during a health crisis.
4.. Start by equipping them with a smartphone that’s designed for seniors. Staying in close phone contact will keep you informed of any arising health issues. It will help you pick up on faults in their memory, too.
Your parents are your parents until they’re gone. Do not treat them like children. Even if you find that there’s an emergency going on, you can make suggestions, but they have the right to make decisions, especially if there’s no cognitive (认知的) disorder. 5., helping your parents in their later years is the least you can do. With the proper measures and technology, it can get easier and feel even more rewarding.
A. Just as they have been there for you
B. It may not be a simple conversation to have
C. It can mean changes in your parents’ schedule
D. Scientists also suggests phoning your parents regularly
E. That can lead to asking your mom what she’s doing to keep fit
F. Talk about affairs about yourself first, then extend them to your parents
G. Scientists recommend opening the door to dialogue instead of calling them
