Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits
The Exhibition
When Vincent van Gogh arrived in Arles, France, he befriended his neighbor and postman Joseph Roulin, along with his wife and three children. Van Gogh went on to paint several vibrant and expressive portraits of the Roulin family. This exhibition showcases about twenty of them, demonstrating his distinctively forward-thinking approach to portraiture.
Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits also reveals the significance of Van Gogh’s close friendship with Joseph Roulin amidst his arrival in a new town and struggles with mental health.

From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic(怀旧的)account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.”
Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.
Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.
As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.
4 Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu
A. Diverse. B. Busy. C. Risky. D. Tough.
5. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2
A. I just introduced my family by mistake. B. I shouldn’t have introduced my family.
C. I gave false information about my family. D. I couldn’t help introducing my family.
6. What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about
A. Durrell’s rich imagination. B. Some interesting plots of the book.
C. The book’s writing feature. D. Some vivid descriptions of the island.
7. What is the purpose of this text
A. To share an experience. B. To introduce a writing style.
C. To recommend a book. D. To describe an unusual place.
C
If you’ve never heard of a biophilic city (亲自然城市) before, you probably will soon — there’s a growing movement emerging globally.
A biophilic city is a city where the planning and design largely integrate the natural world into the daily lives of residents. It’s based on the idea that humans have a deep love for nature and desire to connect with nature.
“We describe the vision of biophilic cities as immersive (沉浸式的) nature — nature is not just something to be found in a park here and there that you have to walk to, but rather we need to reimagine the city as a park, or as a forest,” says Tim Beatley, a professor of sustainable communities. “There is a renewed (更新的) appreciation for how essential nature is in cities and how it can help to make them more beautiful places,” Beatley says. “We know, for instance, that cities face great pressures from climate change — a key response must be nature and nature-based solutions, such as cooling cities with trees and urban forests.”
Beatley’s colleague Peter Newman, a professor of sustainability, says he has devoted nearly 50 years to activism, research and teaching how to make cities more sustainable. He made a film with Beatley, called “Singapore: Biophilic City”.
Singapore is seen as an exceptional biophilic city. “In our film we show how biophilic values began with the first Prime Minister of Singapore saying that the environment in the city was as important as the economy,” says Newman, who got the idea of making the film after he spent some time in Singapore teaching a course. “Singapore is one of the best examples in showing that you can accommodate city development and population growth and also actually protect nature as well,” says Newman. Greenery is woven throughout the city, not only in many parks, but integrated even into the design of tall buildings.
“Singapore has now officially changed its motto from ‘Singapore, Garden City’ to ‘Singapore, a City in a Garden’,” says Beatley.
8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. To explain a concept. B. To put forward an idea.
C. To provide an example. D. To introduce a general rule.
9. What can we infer from Beatley’s words in Paragraph 3
A. Parks in cities need to be renewed.
B. Biophilic cities face many problems.
C. It is difficult to imagine a city as a park.
D. Nature should be a key factor in city planning.
10. What does Newman’s film mainly focus on
A. The unforgettable experience in Singapore.
B The rise of tall green buildings in Singapore.
C. Why Singapore chooses to be a biophilic city.
D. How Singapore balances the economy and the environment.
11. What might be the best title for the text
A. Singapore: a garden city B. Turning cities into gardens
C. The future of biophilic cities D. Nature: a solution to climate change
D
“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics -- in particular, related to failure -- are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.
12. Which of the following is an example of process response
A. You are a lucky dog. B. Running is in your blood.
C. What works well for your study D. Why are you such a math genius
13 What can be inferred from the study results
A. Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B. Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
C. Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
14. What do researchers advise parents to do
A. Restrict person responses. B. Defend their own beliefs.
C. Stress children’s performance. D. Ignore children’s math problems.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps
B. The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters
C. Responses to Enhance Children’s Math Performance
D. Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math

Resistance training, also known as strength training, uses weights or resistance to strengthen or increase one’s muscles. While many people associate such resistance with lifting free weights like dumbbells (哑铃) or using machine-based exercises such as chest or leg presses, other forms of resistance also qualify. ___16___
There are various benefits of resistance training. Research shows that adding 30 minutes of strength training to your workout routine each week could add years to your life. ___17___ Strength training has also been shown to strengthen joints and bones affected by medical conditions, and help with weight management goals since lifting weights improves metabolism (新陈代谢).
___18___ Monica Ciolino, a doctor of physical therapy at Washington University Physicians, says it’s also been linked to protection against degeneration of parts of the hippocampus (海马体) — a grain structure important in learning and memory. “Additionally, strength training may be associated with lower rates of depression and anxiety,” says Ciolino.
Given so many advantages, why not try strength training ___19___ DJ McDonough, a researcher at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, says it’s best to choose the type of resistance training that appeals most to you: weights, or resistance bands, and then learn a few simple techniques.
For instance, you can lift weights at your local gym, or you can buy several dumbbells or kettlebells to lift at home. ___20___ “When you are using weights, a good rule of thumb is that your muscles should be tired at the end of a set,” says McDonough, though he stresses the importance of not lifting too much, too soon. “So, start with lighter loads and increase weight and repetitions over time.”
A. How can we get started
B. What benefits can we get from strength training
C. Once you get going, you may want to branch out and add a barbell.
D. This is partly because it can significantly improve your heart health.
E. Moreover, strength training can improve mental health in several ways.
F You’d better do strength training with the help of a professional trainer regularly.
G. Body weight exercises like push-ups or sit-ups are other examples of resistance training.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery store downstairs my house. As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show ” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
“You two The talent show for the food bank ” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.
