For hospitalized teens, wearing the same unattractive gown(长袍)day after day can be not only boring but seriously dehumanizing.
That’s why Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada came up with the simple but brilliant idea to create hospital gowns that teens would actually want to wear. The recently started WARD+ ROBES program allows each teen to pick out a gown that suits them, allowing them to feel less like a patient and more like unique individuals they are.
“When you can’t wear what you want, you feel like you’re not who you should be, or you are just your illness or you’re just. . . a hospital patient,” a teen says in a video produced by the foundation.
In the video, the foundation presents the unique gowns to a group of teens at the hospital—and when each patient finds one that suits their personal style, their eyes light up.
“I was amazed to watch the teens walk in their traditional gowns and get super excited that they could go to this rack(衣架)of robes and pick something that felt more like them,”said Trevor Dicaire, senior vice president of development at Starlight Children’s Foundation, Canada.
To create a wide range of designs to fit each patient’s style, the Foundation sought the help of creations including fashion designer IZZY Camilleri and tattoo(文身)artist India Amara. And now that the program is up and running, the Foundation is inviting anyone to offer a design.
The gowns shown in the video range from simple to complex, with patterns and materials such as camouflage, and animal print and lace.
Each gown includes a tag(标签)with a very important message: You’re unique. Why should your gown be any different
1. The underlined word “them” in Paragragh 5 refers to_______.
A the teens B. the designs
C. the foundation staff D. the gowns
2. How do the teens feel about the gowns presented by the Foundation

C. Personalized. D. Ordinary.
3. Why is a tag included with each gown
A. To arouse the teens’ interest in helping others.
B. To encourage the teens to design gowns.
C. To tell the teens to enjoy the moment.
D. To inspire the teens to be their best.
4. What would be the best title for the text
A. Do you dare to be different and unique
B. Brilliant hospital gowns help teen patients feel like themselves.
C. Clothes design enlivens patients’ stay in hospital.
D. What your clothes might be saying about you.
四、阅读填句
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。
Art is for everyone and it exists everywhere. When it comes to appreciating an art painting, there is no right or wrong way. 1
●Know the artist. To know the artist is the first step towards appreciating any art painting. 2 Once you get familiar with the paintings from a particular artist, you will start relating to their unique style.
● 3 This is really tough. There are different styles and types of art mediums, realism, surrealism, and impressionism, to name but a few. So for beginners, it’s advisable to keep things simple. Try to understand if the art you see is a watercolour, oil painting or acrylic(丙烯酸颜料) or sketch (速写) on paper. You also need to figure out the styles of the work—figurative (形象的) or abstract.
●Try and find a meaning. To read between lines and colors and understand what the artists mean can be very difficult. 4 So here’s a simple guide. Figurative paintings are easy because they are an honest description of emotions on the canvas(油画布). Still, it doesn’t mean your understanding is the same as the artist’s. Abstracts attempt to create magic with shapes, lines and colors and their meaning is different for everyone who sees it.
●Search for Emotions. Not every work of art will catch your eyes or emotions at first sight. 5 Explore the art work with your eyes.
Once you are aware of these things, you will be able to break the ice with art.
A. Know the type of art and medium used.
B. Discover your taste and styles.
C. Some of these art works will take time to reach you.
D. You just might find that art changes the way you see the world.
E. Learning something about the artist adds to the appreciation of art.
F. The following ideas may help you join in the conversation between you and the artist.
G. A simple art painting might be understood otherwise for different people.
