A few days ago, I received a letter from my Aunt Lorraine.
It was a handwritten letter 101 me for some Shanghai cookies I had sent her. Aunt Lorraine is ninety-one years old and she has wonderful 102 . That is why she sent me the “thank you” letter.

Who designed the first helicopter Who 191 the most famous pictures in the world Who knew more about the human body than most 192 There is an answer 193 all these questions—Leonardo de Vinci (达·芬奇).
Leonardo may have been the greatest genius (天才) people have 194 known. He lived in Italy around the year 1500, but many of his inventions seem modern to us today.

Bringing art to life
The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said “Every child is an artist. The problem he has is 216 to remain an artist once he grows up.”
This is both encouraging and discouraging. The fact that we were all 217 to be artists is certainly exciting, and yet the reality has 218 that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed. 219 , some people have seen the problem and want to solve it.
Western educators have suggested that we introduce the concept（概念） of “STEAM" 220 “ STEM” traditional “core majors” including science, technology, 221 , and math-——since the “A” which stands for “arts”, is just as 222 . And on April 11, China's Ministry of Education issued（宣布） a guideline. Colleges and universities are required to 223 more art related courses and students need to earn a 224 number of art credits in order to graduate.
These efforts came after many scientific studies had found that 225 education helps students develop self-confidence and teamwork skills, 226 habits of mind such as problem solving and critical thinking, according to The Washington Post.
It's true that 227 of these skills target（面向） specific（具体） jobs. But as former US ballet dancer Damian Woetzel told The Atlantic, the 228 of art is “to give kids the tools to become adults who are 229 , adaptable（有适应能力的）, and expressive—able to have their eyes , ears and senses alive”.
And we can now see how we lost track(轨道) of our born “artist self” on our way to growing up: We 230 to keep our abilities to see, hear and feel, and became blind, deaf and insensitive adults.
