Bringing art to life
The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said “Every child is an artist. The problem he has is 11 to remain an artist once he grows up.”
This is both encouraging and discouraging. The fact that we were all 12 to be artists is certainly exciting, and yet the reality has 13 that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed. 14 , some people have seen the problem and want to solve it.
Western educators have suggested that we introduce the concept（概念） of “STEAM" 15 “ STEM” traditional “core majors” including science, technology, 16 , and math-——since the “A” which stands for “arts”, is just as 17 . And on April 11, China's Ministry of Education issued（宣布） a guideline. Colleges and universities are required to 18 more art related courses and students need to earn a 19 number of art credits in order to graduate.
These efforts came after many scientific studies had found that 20 education helps students develop self-confidence and teamwork skills, 21 habits of mind such as problem solving and critical thinking, according to The Washington Post.
It's true that 22 of these skills target（面向） specific（具体） jobs. But as former US ballet dancer Damian Woetzel told The Atlantic, the 23 of art is “to give kids the tools to become adults who are 24 , 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 25 to keep our abilities to see, hear and feel, and became blind, deaf and insensitive adults.

Mr. Wu is showing his classmates how to make pressed flowers（押花）.
Start here
Step 1: Carefully pick a few flowers in a place where you are allowed. Do not take too many! Pick them later in the day and when the weather is fine so they’re not wet from rain.
Step 2: Open a heavy book and lay a piece of blotting paper（吸水纸）inside. Place your flowers “face” down to keep the petals（花瓣）nice and flat. You could press some “sideways” for a different result. Then place another piece of blotting paper on top.
Step 3: Carefully close the book and place more heavy books on top. Put them in a warm place. Check on your flowers every few days and change the blotting paper if it’s wet. It should take about 2—4 weeks for your flowers to fully dry.
Pressed Flower Works
Once they’re dry, you can make some amazing art from your flowers. PVA glue is the best thing to stick them with.
◆Cool Cards
Stick pressed flowers to the cards and give them to your friends and family as presents.
◆Framed（框架的）Flowers
Organize them on paper and frame them! Double-sided glass frames look great, too.
◆Candle Holders
Use PVA glue to stick them to the outside of empty glass jars. Then add a few layers of PVA on top. Once dry, use as tea-light holders.

Folk art is a kind of art. It is usually made by people in a place for a long time. It shows what the people of the place find important or interesting. Folk artists often make things that people used in their everyday life, like kites or dishes.
A form of folk art from the country of Russia is the nesting doll, or the matryoshka doll. The word “matryoshka” means “mother” in Russian. People in Russia began to make these dolls a little more than 100 years ago. They learnt about nesting dolls from folk artists in Japan, who had learnt about them from folk artists in China. Chinese artists began making nesting boxes about a thousand years ago. Later, Japanese began making nesting dolls.
The dolls usually have round heads and long bodies without hands, but people can paint hands on if they want. Usually there are five dolls in a set, but some sets have twelve or more dolls. In a set of nesting dolls, each one is smaller or bigger than the others. In each doll, except the smallest one, you can find a smaller doll inside. The smallest doll is often made of a piece of wood.
Nesting dolls have a special meaning. The biggest doll is called “mother”, which means an important woman who is the head of the Russian family. The smaller dolls inside the biggest one are its children. That’s to say, the mother gives birth to lots of children. So, nesting dolls mean fertility.
Today, nesting dolls are made in many different shapes like animals, fairy-tale characters, and even movie stars. Clearly, this form of folk art still shows what people find interesting.
32．According to the passage, the art of nesting started in ________.
A．Japan B．Britain C．Russia D．China
33．According to the passage, the nesting dolls ________.
A．contain five dolls in every set B．look like kites or dishes
C．have different sizes in a set D．are put on top of each other
34．What does the underlined word “fertility” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Women can produce many babies. B．Children can have a healthy life.
C．Mothers like making nesting dolls. D．Family can enjoy folk art together.
35．Why does the writer write the passage
A．To tell stories about nesting dolls. B．To show a folk art of Russia—nesting dolls.
C．To ask people to buy the nesting dolls. D．To tell mothers to learn to make nesting dolls.
D
Doodling（涂鸦）means drawing something in a simple unplanned way. You might draw a beard（胡须）or crazy hair on a face in a magazine. Perhaps you fill in letters in a newspaper or draw a pattern when you’re listening to the radio. It doesn’t matter what you draw and there’s no right or wrong way to do it.
Doodling is relaxing because you don’t have to make your creation perfect. Joe Whale, who is known as The Doodle Boy, says, “When I doodle, I feel I am the happiest person in the world. I enjoy it because I can express（表达）myself freely—there are no rules in doodling.”
Another good thing about doodling is that it is easy to do. All you need is some paper and a pencil or pen.
▲ In 2009, a study found that those who doodled while listening to a long telephone message remembered more information than those who didn’t.
Doodling can also help people work out what makes them special. During a school visit, Cath Howe, a writer, included a doodling exercise. She asked pupils to draw some squiggles（弯弯曲曲的线条）and then fill in the spaces inside them with words that describes things they care about, such as foods, hobbies, people, pets and places. “The pupils really enjoyed doing it. Everyone doodled in their special way. I learned a lot about the pupils from them,” Howe said.
Doodling is not only interesting but also very meaningful. Would you like to have a try
36．To explain what doodling is, the writer ________.
A．tells stories B．asks questions
C．compares facts D．gives examples
37．Joe Whales likes doodling because it ________.
A．takes him little time
B．makes him known to the world
C．is one of the easiest forms of art
D．allows him to express himself freely
38．The best sentence for “▲ ” is “________”.
A．Doodling is also believed to be able to help people take in more information.
B．Doodling is also believed to be able to bring people happiness.
C．Doodling can also make people more creative.
D．Doodling can also help people make friends.
39．What did Cath Howe think of doodling
A．She thought it was a waste of time. B．She doubted its usefulness.
C．She thought it was good. D．She didn’t care for it.
40．Which of he following best shows the structure of the passage
（①＝Paragraph 1, ②＝Paragraph 2… ）
A．①/②③④/⑤⑥ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥
C．①②/③④/⑤⑥ D．①②/③/④⑤⑥
（二）阅读下面短文，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺，结构完整，其中有一项是多余选项。
Strawberries look nice, but light pressure can make them out of shape. Nowadays, there are many young people who are just like strawberries. 41 They don’t know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name—strawberry kids.
42 Parents and schools are a main reason. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personality (个性).
Liu Yue, 13, is from Fujian. His mom hardly criticizes him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. 43
Students should do something to make themselves mentally (心理上地) strong. An expert said, “When you are in trouble, don’t ask for help too quickly. 44 I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong.”
Growing up is not just a happy process. 45 The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.

Kites are 51 in many different sizes, colors and shapes. A flat kite is the oldest and simplest type of kite. It flies because air flows over and under the kite’s wing. The pressure under the wing helps the kite lift into the air.

Note taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your school work. It can make you confident when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes.
★Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.

My favorite art form
Art is an important part of my life. My favorite art is making kites.
As a kid, I had a big dream of flying. One day when I was five, my grandfather made me a bird kite. That made me really excited. When I held a line to let the bird kite fly into the sky, I had a feeling that my dream of flying came true. Since then, I have made it a rule to make a kite every spring. Now my study is full of colorful kites.
As I’m growing older, like a kite, I will leave my parents. But I know the line is always in my parents’ hands. They will watch me as I fly higher and farther.

People in Russia began to make these dolls a little more than 100 years ago. They learnt about nesting dolls from folk artists in Japan, who had learnt about them from folk artists in China. Chinese artists began making nesting boxes about a thousand years ago. Later, Japanese began making nesting dolls.
The dolls usually have round heads and long bodies without hands, but people can paint hands on if they want. Usually there are five dolls in a set, but some sets have twelve or more dolls. In a set of nesting dolls, each one is smaller or bigger than the others. In each doll, except the smallest one, you can find a smaller doll inside. The smallest doll is often made of a piece of wood.
Nesting dolls have a special meaning. The biggest doll is called “mother”, which means an important woman who is the head of the Russian family. The smaller dolls inside the biggest one are its children. That’s to say, the mother gives birth to lots of children. So, nesting dolls mean fertility.
Today, nesting dolls are made in many different shapes like animals, fairy-tale characters, and even movie stars. Clearly, this form of folk art still shows what people find interesting.

Doodling（涂鸦）means drawing something in a simple unplanned way. You might draw a beard（胡须）or crazy hair on a face in a magazine. Perhaps you fill in letters in a newspaper or draw a pattern when you’re listening to the radio. It doesn’t matter what you draw and there’s no right or wrong way to do it.
Doodling is relaxing because you don’t have to make your creation perfect. Joe Whale, who is known as The Doodle Boy, says, “When I doodle, I feel I am the happiest person in the world. I enjoy it because I can express（表达）myself freely—there are no rules in doodling.”
Another good thing about doodling is that it is easy to do. All you need is some paper and a pencil or pen.
▲ In 2009, a study found that those who doodled while listening to a long telephone message remembered more information than those who didn’t.
Doodling can also help people work out what makes them special. During a school visit, Cath Howe, a writer, included a doodling exercise. She asked pupils to draw some squiggles（弯弯曲曲的线条）and then fill in the spaces inside them with words that describes things they care about, such as foods, hobbies, people, pets and places. “The pupils really enjoyed doing it. Everyone doodled in their special way. I learned a lot about the pupils from them,” Howe said.

例文：
My favorite art form
Art is an important part of my life. My favorite art is making kites.
As a kid, I had a big dream of flying. One day when I was five, my grandfather made me a bird kite. That made me really excited. When I held a line to let the bird kite fly into the sky, I had a feeling that my dream of flying came true. Since then, I have made it a rule to make a kite every spring. Now my study is full of colorful kites.
As I’m growing older, like a kite, I will leave my parents. But I know the line is always in my parents’ hands. They will watch me as I fly higher and farther.
