Do you know what you'd like to be when you grow up It takes most people many years to find this out.36. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.
Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby.37. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her coloring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and coloring them in.
By the time Alexandra was seven years old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist's unusual style of painting. Alexandra's work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso.38. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their works. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the works of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honor, but Alexandra's style of painting was all her own.
Alexandra's first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork.39. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork.40. Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist.

Bill can see well. But he cannot recognize(认出) the faces he sees—not even his own mother. He tells his experience. “Once, at midday, I met my mother while walking down the street. I did not recognize her. We walked towards each other. We passed within a meter of each other. The sidewalk was not busy. The only way I know this happened is I was told about it that night. She was not happy about this incident. And she has never forgiven(原谅) me for it!”
Bill has face blindness(盲). For most people, this situation can be hard to understand. But face blindness may be more common than you think.
So, how does a person get face blindness Well, there are two ways. Some people with face blindness are born with the ability to recognize. But then, their brains are badly hurt. Over thirty years ago, Lincoln Holmes was in a car accident.
The accident damaged(损害) his brain. He can still do everything just like before—walk, talk, and work. But since the accident, Lincoln can no longer recognize faces. He cannot even recognize people he knew after the accident happened.
In the past, doctors thought that brain damage was the only way to get face blindness. However, scientists now believe that the most common way people get face blindness is from their parents—they inherit it! Recent studies suggest that face blindness stays in families.
But there are not any treatments(治疗) for face blindness at present.
( )21.How does the writer start the passage
A.By explaining the meaning. B.By giving an example.
C.By showing a study. D.By giving advice.
( )22.The underlined words “this situation” in the second paragraph refer to “ ”.
A.Bill walked past his mother B.Bill has face blindness
C.Bill didn't see his mother D.Bill didn't recognize his mother
( )23.Lincoln Holmes got face blindness because of .
A.brain damage B.a bad illness
C.a sad experience D.his family's illness
( )24.What does the underlined word “inherit” in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese
A.模仿 B.遗传 C.脱离 D.恢复
( )25.What does the passage mainly tell us
A.How to protect our brains. B.What to do if we get face blindness.
C.Why people get face blindness. D.How to keep away from face blindness.
