Do you know how to pick a good book you’ll really like Here are some tips.
Start with your interest. 1 You can pick something that you love to read, not for school. They can be ancient martial(武术)arts, computers, or fashion design.
What’s your type Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction (or both) Fiction books, like novels, can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why of something. 2 Many of them read like novels from start to finish.
Read the description. The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books give you an idea of what the book is about. They can also help you pick future books, too. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes and see which authors praised the book. 3
Find a family favorite. Which book did your mother love best when she was at your age 4 Find out and give them a read—then you can share your thoughts about the book.
Finally, you’ll probably enjoy what you’re reading a lot more if you find a quiet place and make time for the book. 5 You can put on some good music, get yourself some tea and let yourself be carried away by the book. You’ll see that time does fly when you’re reading something you love!
A. How about your brothers and sisters
B. Reading is a good way to improve your English.
C. Reading on your own isn’t like reading for school.
D. So you should read as much as possible when you are free.
E. They tell stories using facts—but that doesn’t mean they’re boring.
F. Most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate(全神贯注)on it.
G. Often, they’ll have similar styles and you might find books you like by those authors, too.

Photography(摄影) is a very popular art form. Anyone with a camera or a mobile phone can practice it. A picture communicates in a way that words often can’t. As the photographer Destin Sparks put it, “Photography is the story I fail to put into words. ” And there’s no better chance to practice the art of photography than during our vacation time.
Holiday photos have been a part of the culture of travelers for a long time. For decades, vacationers have made sure they’ve packed a camera along with bathing suits, Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses.

Antelope Slot Canyon Tours in Arizona specializes in tours of the state’s famous canyons(峡谷), which gives photographers the chance to capture them on camera.
Most of the tourists are able to make beautiful images with just their mobile phones. Still, help is on hand from the tour guide for those who aren’t great at using their cameras. These tour guides have taken a course in photography in case the skills they’ve learned would help their customers.

Samuel Morse was born in Massachusetts USA. He started off his career as an inventor after being a painter and sculptor (雕塑家). He even earned a gold medal from the famous Adelphi Society of Arts for his first effort in sculpture, the “Dying Hercules”. He became the first president of the National Academy of Design, and became Professor of the Arts of Design in the University of the City of New York.
Yet, this painter turned to inventing to make his fortune during a sea voyage. On this journey, Samuel Morse heard about many attempts to create usable telegraphs. He was fascinated by this problem and began to study books on physics for two years to gain more scientific knowledge. He realized that pulses (脉冲) of electrical current could carry information over wires.
Thus the world’s first working model of a telegraph was born. His signaling device was quite simple. It consisted of a transmitter (containing a battery and a key), a small buzzer (蜂鸣器) as a receiver and a pair of wires connecting the two. Samuel Morse improved it by adding a switch and a second buzzer to allow transmission (传播) in the opposite direction as well.
On May 24, 1844 Samuel Morse sent the first electronic message between Baltimore and Washington, “Look what God has enabled us to build, and benefit by. ”
Seventeen years later, the two coasts of the United States were linked by telegraph. The telegraph continued to enjoy the position of being the fastest and most reliable means of communication for almost 140 years since its invention.
1. From the passage we learn that Samuel Morse ______.
A. was a famous sculptor at one time
B. was president of New York University
C. first discovered pulses of electrical current
D. became a millionaire after inventing the telegraph
2. Samuel Morse wanted to invent a telegraph because ______.
A. He was very interested in it
B. He thought he was a talented inventor
C. He thought he could make a fortune
D. He thought he would be famous
3. The underlined phrase “the two” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. the battery and the key
B. the transmitter and the buzzer
C. the wires and the battery
D. the receiver and the key

Why people collect art
Many people through history have gone to great lengths to collect art. But what motivates these collectors
One popular explanation for collecting is that they can have financial gain. Some resell works, earning enormous profit. 1 Immorally, some “collectors” buy art as a form of money laundering(洗钱), since it is far easier to move art than cash between countries without examination.
2 For them, art is important for other reasons. The best way to understand the underlying drive of art collecting is as a means to create and strengthen social bonds, and as a way for collectors to communicate within these new networks.
Collectors are not only interested in creating social links; they are also motivated by the messages they can send once these social networks are created. We all know art is a powerful way for the artist to express thoughts and feelings. 3 Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is—at least who she sees herself as.
4 Through the collections, collectors convey messages not just about themselves, but about the world as a whole. For example, the kid with the shoebox of bird feathers might show others her collection not just to make friends, but also to convince them of the importance of protecting endangered species.
People collect art for various reasons. 5
A. Some gain art works in an illegal way.
B. But most collectors think little of profit.
C. Artworks preserve the qualities of their makers.
D. No doubt art collection is a hard addiction to overcome.
E. Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums.
F. It also serves as an effective way to express collectors.
G. Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power.

Karen Bystedt was born in Israel, but lived in London and California as a child. In 1982, as a photography (摄影) student at New York University, she was photographing male models for a book when she came across an ad featuring Andy Warhol, a very famous artist. She thought it would be really great to put him in her book.
So she called Andy Warhol at his studio in Union Square and asked if she could photograph him.
Two weeks later, Bystedt took a rented Hasselblad camera and lights to Warhol’s famed “Factory” on 14th street. She ended up taking 36 pictures, and published two in her book, Not Just Another Pretty Face, published in 1983. Warhol came to its launch (发行) party—and that was the last time she saw him.
A few years later, she packed the portraits in a box and moved to Los Angeles. But after she’d gotten settled, she couldn’t find them. She couldn’t remember whether she had given the photos away or just left them in some forgotten storage unit. Either way, she thought they were lost forever.
In 2011, Bystedt became determined to find the missing films(底片). She spent two weeks going through two old garages, where she had put a bunch of belongings decades before. In a cardboard box, she found ten of the original films, covered in dust. She and a friend spent four months digitizing and cleaning the images up, pixel(像素) by pixel.
Bystedt was not content to merely publish the unseen photos. She invited contemporary artists to paint over and around her Warhol pictures, breathing new life into her old work. So she began reaching out to artists, seeing if they would be interested in putting their own stamp on the pictures.
The responses were overwhelming. Bystedt’s new exhibit, “The Lost Warhols”, opened on May 1, 2018 at 178 Sixth Avenue in Soho, New York, included 66 different interpretations of her portraits from 34 artists.
1. After photographing Andy Warhol, Bystedt ______.
A. never met the artist again
B. published a book the following year
C. published all of his pictures in her book
D. decided to photograph some male models for a book
2. According to the passage, the photos of Andy Warhol ______.
A. were found missing soon after they were taken
B. were taken when the artist was 19 years old
C. were found missing after Bystedt moved to Los Angeles
D. were taken by Bystedt without the artist’s permission
3. What did Bystedt do after the missing films were found
A. she published the unseen photos very quickly.
B. she held a party for some artists to view the photos.
C. she spent months repairing the films.
D. she displayed the pictures to make a profit.
4. What would be a suitable title for the passage
A. Photos of Andy Warhol Lost Forever
B. A Special Exhibit of Andy Warhol’s Works
C. Friendship Between an Artist and a Photographer
D. Unseen Portraits of Andy Warhol Lost and Found

Kids are cool to wear blue jeans and T-shirts today. It is fashionable like that. Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends isn’t that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!
During the 1960s and 1970s, Hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans (喇叭裤) popular. Also, in the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants (降落伞裤)all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!
Do you know why fashions change The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movie stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.
The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain (保持) their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate (模仿) their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.
Clothes have been used to separate people into groups for many years. Even today, brand-name clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to make themselves different from others.
Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality—not your clothes—speak for who you are!
5. What does the example of bell-bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 2 suggest
A. Fashion always changes.
B. Stars are always influential.
C. People have different dressing styles.
D. Hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers.
6. What causes the changes of fashions
A. Advertisements change rapidly.
B. Popular culture influences people.
C. Movie stars are changing over time.
D. New films and shows replace the old.
7. We can learn from the text that ______.
A. fashion is all about clothes
B. the author has gone out of fashion
C. clothes may separate and distance people
D. people like to imitate others’ dressing style
