You’ve been painting for a few years, and maybe you have even sold a painting or two. Are you ready to ___41___ the title of an amateur artist
Distinguishing green hand 菜鸟from professional artists is ___42___ task. It is not just a matter of your ability to create nice paintings. It’s not only about painting techniques. And for most cases, it doesn’t happen ___43___. Very few artists become overnight success without years of struggle and suffering.
To turn professional, people find it critical to develop a personal style. What makes your paintings ___44___ among other paintings out there Are your paintings standing out unmistakably directed to you as the creator A personal style comes along with technique, painting medium, and subject and it tends to develop gradually over time. You ___45___ it through unconscious and constant exploring and self-shaping. Style does not mean that you are painting the same subject or using the same painting medium. Salvador Dali used to use many artistic media, but they all have a ___46___ Dali style. Style refers to the emotions and thoughts delivered by your paintings, which people can identify with. Their ___47___ of the painter is then a sure thing.
Artists talk about their ___48___ all of the time. What gets you out of bed every morning to paint How do you find the energy to have all your time devoted to painting ___49___, we all love to do what we do and we get a satisfaction out of creating. For the professional artist, it goes beyond that. Some artists wish to convey a deep message concerning life, society or even politics. Others simply seek ___50___ returns to cover kids’ tuition fees or pay family bills. Yet, all professional artists know that they have to keep working to achieve the goals.
Many amateur artists passively wait for ___51___ to come. If they are not in the mood, they do not bother wasting the time. They sometimes allow themselves to be occupied by events like parties. Professionals are never easily ___52___ or torn away from their artwork in progress. Focused on their work so much, some even regard spending time outside their ___53___ as crime. ___54___ is their secret to high productivity.
Besides, professional artists are constantly prepared to grab new ideas for the next painting, which they believe is sure to be better than the previous one. The belief that there is always room for ___55___ keeps driving them forward in the art world where many masters have come along.

Most of us have an irrational fear or habit. Famous folks often seem to go one step further. VERY Superstitious
Benjamin Franklin AN ODD MORNING RITUAL Author, inventor, diplomat, and scientist Benjamin Franklin (1706– 1790) believed that air baths had a particular effect. Before he started his workday, Franklin would sit without any clothes on for up to an hour in front of an open window on the first floor of his building. He wrote that the shock of cold water was too violent for him and it was more agreeable for him to bathe in cold air. Franklin would either read or write dur
①
ing his “bath.”
John Steinbeck THE RIGHT WAY TO WRITE John Steinbeck (1902– 1968) wrote the first drafts of The Grapes of Wrath, East of Eden, Of Mice and Men, and most every other one of his books the same way—by hand and in pencil. And he was very particular about his pencils, requiring perfectly sharpened Blackwing 602s. John Wayne A TEN-GALLON PHOBIA Although John Wayne (1907– 1979) often wore a hat on his head in his
② films, his temper would suddenly become angry if anyone left a hat on top of a bed. According to his daughter, Wayne was deeply
superstitious and subscribed to the not-uncommon fear that a hat on a bed was a sign of bad luck.
Gustav Mahler BEWARE NUMBER NINE Composer Gustav Mahler (1860 – 1911) thought he could cheat death by not naming his ninth symphony by number. This was because several composers, including Beethoven and Schubert, had died after completing their ninth symphonies. So Mahler called his ninth The Song ofthe Earth—and it worked, in a sense. He lived long enough to write most of his tenth symphony, though he died before it was performed.
Michael Jordan UNIFORM REDESIGNER Michael Jordan (1963– ) reportedly began the trendsetting change from mid-thigh basketball shorts to longer ones as a way of covering up a pair of University of North Carolina shorts, which he wore for good luck under his Chicago Bulls uniform. Charles Dickens DREAM CATCHER ④
Author Charles Dickens (1812– 1870) carried a navigational compass with him at all times and always faced north when he slept. He believed it improved his creativity and writing.
5. ____________ kept an irrational habit in order to improve their work.
A. Benjamin Franklin and Gustav Mahler
B. Benjamin Franklin and Charles Dickens
C. Gustav Mahler and Charles Dickens
D. Lucille Ball and Gustav Mahler
6. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. A sharpened pencil was a necessity for John Steinbeck to improve his creativity.
B. Gustav Mahler refused to finish his ninth symphony to avoid bad luck.
C. Both Lucille Ball and John Wayne were afraid of certain stuff.
D. Michael Jordan wore two pairs of basketball shorts in a match.

Delivering life-saving drugs directly to the brain in a safe and effective way is a challenge for medical providers. One key reason: the blood-brain barrier, which protects the brain from tissue-specific drug delivery. Methods such as an injection or a pill aren’t as precise or immediate as doctors might prefer, and ensuring delivery right to the brain often requires invasive, risky techniques.
A team of engineers from Washington University in St. Louis has developed a new nanoparticle generation-delivery method that could someday vastly improve drug delivery to the brain, making it as simple as a sniff.
“This would be a nanoparticle nasal spray, and the delivery system could allow medicine to reach the brain within 30 minutes to one hour,” said Ramesh Raliya, research scientist at the School of Engineering & Applied Science.
“The blood-brain barrier protects the brain from foreign substances in the blood that may injure the brain,” Raliya said. “But when we need to deliver something there, getting through that barrier is difficult and invasive. Our non- invasive technique can deliver drugs via nanoparticles, so there’s less risk and better response times.”
The novel approach is based on aerosol (气溶胶) science and engineering principles that allow the generation of monodisperse nanoparticles, which can deposit on upper regions of the nasal cavity via spread. The nanoparticles were tagged with markers, allowing the researchers to track their movement.
Next, researchers exposed locusts’ antenna ( 触角) to the aerosol, and observed the nanoparticles travel from the antennas up through the olfactory nerve, which is used to sense the smell. Due to their tiny size, the nanoparticles passed through the brain-blood barrier, reaching the brain and spreading all
over it in a matter of minutes.
The team tested the concept in locusts because the blood-brain barriers in the insects and humans have similarities. “The shortest and possibly the easiest path to the brain is through your nose,” said Barani Raman, associate professor of biomedical engineering. “Your nose, the olfactory bulb and then olfactory cortex: two steps and you’ve reached the cortex.”
To determine whether or not the foreign nanoparticles disrupted normal brain function, Saha examined the physiological response of olfactory neurons in the locusts before and after the nanoparticle delivery and found no noticeable change in the electrophysiological responses was detected.
“This is only a beginning of a set of studies that can be performed to make nanoparticle-based drug delivery approaches more principled,” Raman said. The next phase of research involves fusing the gold nanoparticles with various medicines, and using ultrasound to target a more precise dose to specific areas of the brain, which would be especially beneficial in brain-tumor cases.
8. This passage is mainly about ____________.
A. a novel method of drug delivery
B. a challenge facing medical staff
C. a new medicine treating brain diseases
D. a technique to improve doctors’ ability
9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Doctors prefer using methods like an injection to treat diseases.
非侵入性的治疗
B. Locusts were tagged with markers to track their movement.
C. The blood-brain barrier lowers the effectiveness of a pill.
D. The medicine could reach the brain within half an hour.
10. The researchers focused their study on locusts because ____________.
A. human and locusts have similar structures that protect brain from foreign substances
B. the delivery process consists of the olfactory bulb and the olfactory cortex
C. locusts have changeable electrophysiological responses to nanoparticles
D. The shortest and possibly the safest path to the brain is through human’s noses
11. ____________ would most be interested in reading this passage.
A. A lung cancer patient who needs operation immediately
B. A college student who majors in medical technology
C. A senior doctor who is about to retire
