When it comes to the most influential painters of the United States in the 20th century, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself, “I would never sit back in a rocking chair，waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more active old age.
She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in the domestic service sector until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then at Eagle Bridge in New York State. She had ten children, five of whom survived: he husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and she was really fond of embroidery（剌绣），but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff（僵硬的）to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who purchased all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of modern art and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s and her death, she produced some 2, 000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long with an amazing sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it,” she said.

Every year in May, art galleries and museums prepare shows to honor Leonardo da Vinci, who died in France on May 2,1519. He is remembered as one of the most influential artists and creative thinkers of all time. His most famous and representative paintings are Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Recently, researchers have been studying a painting—Landscape 8P, which they think is Da Vinci’s earliest-known artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there are two images, not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to August 5, 1473.
The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley and a castle outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps because it was wiped off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.
The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this “mirror writing”. It’s a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks. The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells about an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.
Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said, “Leonardo was born left-handed, but was taught to write with his right hand from a very young age. By looking at his writing, we can see his right-handed handwriting is educated and well done.”
Experts compared the two handwriting samples（样本）and said they were both made by Leonardo. They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
The artwork is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list. It will be part of an exhibition at the Uffizi Gallery in Italy. The gallery director Eike Schmidt, said the artwork is worthy of our attention, and that by studying it, researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo’s drawing techniques and his abilities in writing.
5. What does the writing on the back probably tell about
A. A statement about the painting.
B. An agreement to produce a painting.
C. An introduction of Leonardo.
D. Something about the city of Florence.
6. What can we learn about Leonardo from Cecilia’s words
A. He did bad in right-handed handwriting.
B. He wasn’t good at writing with his left hand.
C. He could write with both of his hands.
D. He taught himself to write with the right hand.
7. What’s Eike Schmidt’s attitude towards the research
A. Unclear.
B. Indifferent.
C. Positive.
D. Doubtful.

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 art is that they can have financial gain. Some resell artworks, earning enormous profit. 1 . Immorally, some “collectors” purchase 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 of creating and strengthening social bonds, and as a way for collectors to communicate within these new networks.
Not only are collectors fond of creating social links, but 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 he sees himself 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 made of bird feathers might show others her collection not just to make friends, but to convince them of the importance of protecting endangered species.
People collect art for various reasons. 5 .
A. Some gain artworks in an illegal way
B. But most collectors think little of profit
C. Artworks preserve the qualities of their makers
D. No doubt art collecting is an addiction hard to overcome
E. Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums
F. It also serves as an effective way for collectors to express themselves
G. Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power
