Artist Zsudayka Nzinga Terrell clearly remembers the day in high school when the teacher asked her to write about her family history.She saw that it was impossible to answer the questions “Who am I ” and “Where did I come from ”
Nzinga Terrell told VOA about her childhood memories.“So the white kids were able to get up and talk about hundreds of years of their background.And there was me and one other black kid in the class who could go back to a plantation in Virginia and that’s it.” She talked about her family’s history.“My people were brought here on the bottom of a ship.And they were sold and they were re-named.My dad’s side of the family took the last name of the job that they had,which is butlers.My mom’s side of the family took the last name of the plantation that owned them.”
Today,she and her husband,artist James Terrell,explore that identity in their work.Their new exhibit of paintings is called “Born at the Bottom of the Ship.” The show recently opened at the Center for the Arts in Manassas,Virginia.
Over the generations,Africans became African Americans with a new culture,and Nzinga Terrell includes different parts of that story in her art.There are things that look like African cloth and design and things that make you think of American culture and clothing.
James Terrell’s style is more abstract.“Mami Wata”,the first painting visitors see in the new exhibit,shows a woman rising from the ocean.Terrell explains the painting.“Mami Wata is a goddess of the sea...There’s no light going through;there’s not a lot of colour being seen,as opposed to the other ones.So,it’s just showing the time of the slaves being brought to America.”
But the artist says he also likes to play with colour.Growing up,Terrell attended a church with coloured glass in many windows.Because of that experience,he learned how light goes through the windows.He makes lines in his painting that look like the lines between pieces of coloured glass in the church windows.
Terrell’s works show how he sees himself as an African American.Visitors to the art exhibit say they see themselves and their family members in the works.
1.When young,Nzinga Terrell’s memory of her family dates back to .
A.the time when the slaves were sold and re-named
B.the time when she was born at the bottom of a ship
C.the time when the black slaves were brought to America
D.the time when her family worked on a plantation in Virginia
2.How did Nzinga Terrell’s father get his family name
A.It was named after a plantation.
B.It was named after their owner’s name.
C.It was named after the job the family did.
D.It was named long ago after a place in Africa.
3.What’s the painting “Mami Wata” like
A.It’s typical of native American style.
B.It reflects a dark time of the black slaves.
C.It’s abstract with rich and bright colours.
D.It describes a church James once attended.
4.How do the visitors probably feel seeing Terrell’s works
A.Strange. B.Curious.
C.Depressed. D.Moved.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Among all the fast growing science and technology,the research of human genes,or biological engineering as people call it,is drawing more and more attention now.Discussions about it are increasingly heated around the world.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with,such as cancer and heart disease.Every year,millions of people are murdered by these two killers.And to date,doctors have not found an effective way to cure them.But if the gene technology is applied,not only these two diseases can be cured completely,bringing happiness and more living days to the patients.but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved.Therefore,it benefits the economy as well.In addition,human life span(寿命)can be prolonged.
Some families have genetic diseases.This means their children will for sure have the family disease,which is a great trouble for these families.Gene technology can help people give birth to more healthy and clever children.In the past,doctors could do nothing about genetic diseases.But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly.Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it,and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to create human beings in large quantities.In the past few years,scientists have succeeded in cloning animals such as mice,sheep,and dogs.Therefore,these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned and that it would be beyond control,leading to some disastrous consequences.But many believe that cloned babies will not come out in large quantities,for most couples in the world can have babies in a very normal way and they also believe the governments will control gene technology and make laws to make sure the gene technology will help better our lives instead of harming us.

Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua.I am writing to discuss the traffic problem near our school gate,which is very serious now.With so many parents coming to pick up their children,traffic jams are frequent near the school gate,causing much inconvenience to us and passers-by.
I strongly recommend some effective measures be taken.First,we should encourage students to ride a bicycle or walk to school by themselves.It is also a good idea to allow junior students to leave school 10 minutes earlier than others.Besides,cars should not be allowed to park near the school gate.
I do hope my suggestions can be considered and the problem can disappear soon.
Yours,

Education has always been a hot topic.How to educate children can be a sweet but painstaking task for parents,many of whom try to offer their children the best petition between parents over children’s education may start from the kind of animated (动画)series children watch. 1 By watching the former,children can learn English at the same time.However,this does not mean those watching foreign shows perform better than those watching Chinese ones. 2 They can help children learn traditional Chinese culture and history.Take Journey to the West for example. 3
By watching this show,children can learn more about the history of the Tang Dynasty and the development of Buddhist culture in China.Foreign shows can open a window for children to gain a better understanding of the outside world.So,children ought to be encouraged to watch both as long as the content of the show is beneficial.
This can also be applied to other things beyond animated series. 4 However,some parents fail to do this.Their incorrect view can more or less leave an influence on their children.Innocent (天真的)children,influenced by their parents,slowly hold the view that watching foreign shows is better than watching Chinese shows. 5
A.Chinese shows have their own advantages.
B.Foreign animated series are always the first choice for parents.
C.Children often follow their parents’ advice when choosing animated series.
D.For example,children can be encouraged to read folk tales at home and abroad.
E.Once the view is formed in children’s minds,parents’ education proves a failure.
F.This show is based on one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature.
G.For some parents,watching foreign animated shows is better than watching Chinese ones.
