Eric Carle is an American writer. He has written over 70 children's books. His most famous book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is popular all over the world. What most people don't know is that Eric makes art for adults (成人), too. “ArtArt” is one of Eric's works for adults.
Like Eric's children's books, his “ArtArt” is full of colors. He says that he loves color so much because he missed it in the war (战争) in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was six. When he was 10, World War II started. Eric found people painted all the houses in his town gray, brown, or dark green. It seemed like there was no color anywhere. At the end of the war, “when color came back,” Eric said, “I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more color. Color is very important in my work.”
Anyone who has seen Eric's books can see how important color is to the artist. He paints colors on a piece of paper (一张纸), cuts out shapes (形状), and then glues (粘贴) them onto another piece of paper. This is a special method. Eric used it in his “ArtArt”.“ArtArt” has paintings, photos and even clothes. In all these works, he uses different colors from purple to green to orange.
36. What do we know about Eric's The Very Hungry Caterpillar
A. It's his first book. B. He wrote it in the war.
C. He wrote it in New York. D. It's his best-known book.
37. When did Eric move to Germany
A. In 1929. B. In 1935. C. In 1939. D. In 1945.
38. What does the underlined word “it” refer to
A. Color. B. Work. C. The town. D. The house.
39. What does the underlined word “method” mean in Chinese

Psychologists (心理家) at the UK’s University of Edinburgh did the study on a group of Scottish people. 42 In 1950, a group of teachers gave over 1200 14-year-old students personality tests. 43 They were self-confidence, sense of responsibility, perseverance (耐心), strong wishes to win, creativity and moods (情绪).
In 2012, researchers successfully found 174 of those 1200 students and gave them a test similar to the one they had received before. 44 They were surprised to find great changes to all six personality traits of these people. 45 It was “as if the second test had been given to different people.” the study reported.
