A
The
following
4
famous
paintings,
from
Jan
van
Eyck’s
portrait
to
Pablo
Picasso’s
masterpiece,
have
stood
the
test
of
time.
The
Arnolfini
Portrait
Jan
van
Eyck’s
Arnolfini
Portrait,
an
oil
painting
on
wood
produced
in
1434,
is
undoubtedly
one
of
the
masterpieces
in
the
National
Gallery,
London.
This
painting
is
as
visually
interesting
as
it
is
famed.
It
is
also
an
informative
document
on
fifteenth-century
society,
through
van
Eyck’s
heavy
use
of
symbolism-while
husbands
went
out
to
engage
in
business,
wives
concerned
themselves
with
domestic
duties.
The
Starry
Night
Vincent
van
Gogh
painted
The
Starry
Night,
oil
on
canvas
(
帆
布
),
a
moderately
abstract
landscape
painting
of
an
expressive
night
sky
over
a
small
hillside
village,
during
his
12-month
stay
at
the
mental
hospital
near
Saint-Remy-de-Provence,
France
between
1889
and
1890.
When
the
Museum
of
Modern
Art
in
New
York
City
purchased
the
painting
from
a
private
collector
in
1941,
it
was
not
well
known,
but
it
has
since
become
one
of
van
Gogh's
most
famous
works.
The
Harvesters
The
Harvesters
is
an
oil
painting
on
wood
completed
by
Pieter
Bruegel
the
Elder
in
1565.
It
depicts
the
harvest
time
which
most
commonly
occurred
within
the
months
of
August
and
September.
Nicolaes
Jonghelinck,
a
merchant
banker
and
art
collector
from
Antwerp,
commissioned
this
painting.
The
painting
has
been
at
the
Metropolitan
Museum
of
Art
in
New
York
City
since
1919.
Guernica
Guernica,
a
large
black-and-white
oil
painting,
was
painted
by
the
Cubist
Spanish
painter,
Pablo
Picasso
in
1937.
The
title
‘Guernica’
refers
to
the
city
that
was
bombed
by
Nazi
planes
during
the
Spanish
Civil
War.
The
painting
depicts
the
horrors
of
war
and
as
a
result,
has
come
to
be
an
anti-war
symbol
and
a
reminder
of
the
tragedies
of
war.
Today,
the
painting
is
housed
at
the
Museo
National
Centro
de
Arte
Reina
Sofia
in
Madrid.
What
do
the
four
paintings
have
in
common?
They
are
oil
paintings.
They
are
kept
in
New
York.
They
show
different
people’s
lives.
They
are
created
during
15th
century
to
19th
century.
What
do
we
know
about
The
Starry
Night?
It
shows
the
scenery
of
a
small
hillside
village.
Van
Gogh
produced
it
when
living
in
his
home.
A
private
collector
gave
it
away
to
the
museum.
It
was
not
famous
before
1941.
Whose
painting
shows
the
destruction
of
war?
Jan
van
Eyck.
B.
Vincent
van
Gogh.
C.
Pieter
Bruegel.
D.
Pablo
Picasso.
B
It
is
essential
that
students
have
a
category
of
school-related
activities
they
can
participate
in.
These
activities
can
range
from
activities
during
normal
school
hours
to
after-school
activities.
No
matter
the
time,
these
activities
should
be
available
to
every
student,
and
at
Victory
Pioneers
International
Schools
(V.P.I.S)
it
is
encouraged
that
every
student
participate
in
at
least
one
activity,
educational
and
recreational.
One
of
the
primary
reasons
school
activities
are
important
at
V.P.I.S.
is
because
it
gives
students
the
exercise
they
might
not
normally
receive.
Most
popularly,
these
types
of
activities
include
major
sports
such
as
football,
basketball,
baseball,
tennis,
track
and
field
and
soccer
but
also
might
include
gymnasium
games
and
other
games.
Activities
during
V.P.I.S.
also
make
a
good
impression
on
colleges
if
students
are
planning
to
pursue
more
education.
Colleges
look
for
students
who
do
not
just
go
to
school
and
go
home
after
school.
These
activities
range
from
participating
in
clubs
and
sports
to
volunteering
after
school
at
a
recreation
center
or
having
a
part-time
job.
If
a
college
sees
you
maintained
good
grades
while
participating
in
these
activities,
it
will
be
impressed.
V.P.I.S.
activities
also
allow
students
to
be
creative.
Gifted-and-talented
activities
allow
gifted
students
to
participate
in
what
they
otherwise
would
never
have
experienced
in
the
classroom.
They
are
a
great
way
to
allow
students
to
be
creative.
Additionally,
participating
in
clubs
such
as
drama
that
appeal
to
students’
interest
also
allows
them
to
expand
their
knowledge
and
be
creative.
Students
also
can
have
their
interests
expanded
by
participating
in
activities.
These
activities
could
consist
of
anything,
such
as
joining
the
Future
Business
Leaders,
the
school’s
debate
team
and
the
chess
team,
to
name
a
few.
By
participating
in
these
activities,
a
student
might
realize
he
is
interested
in
something
he
never
knew
he
was
interested
in
before.
What
can
we
learn
about
activities
at
V.P.I.S.?
Not
every
student
has
access
to
them.
Students
are
required
to
take
part
in
them
after
school.
They
give
students
exercise
that
might
not
be
got
in
other
schools.
Educational
activities
are
more
popular
with
the
students.
What
benefits
can
the
students
get
from
the
activities?
They
can
get
extra
grades
when
applying
for
colleges.
They
will
become
more
gifted
and
talented
.
They
may
expand
their
knowledge
in
drama.
They
may
better
know
their
own
interests.
Which
of
the
following
is
a
suitable
title
for
the
passage?

Where

probably

A.

If
you
could
travel
back
in
time,
which
period
of
history
would
you
visit?
It’s
a
great
question
to
ask
your
friends,
and
time
travel
is
the
subject
of
many
science
fiction
films.
Of
course,
sci-fi
is
familiar
to
most
of
us,
but
what
is
cli-fi?
The
simple
answer
is
climate
fiction
which
focuses
on
the
subject
of
climate
change.
Many
of
the
cli-fi
examples
we
watch
tend
to
be
disaster
films.
It
could
be
solar
flares
(太
阳耀斑),
ice
ages
devastating
(摧毁)
the
planet,
extreme
flooding
swamping
the
earth
with
water,
or
super-storms
that
threaten
life
as
we
know
it.
While
films
and
novels
of
this
style
are
often
subject
to
the
typical
images
of
a
hero
or
heroine
battling
to
save
the
day,
what
sets
it
apart
from
most
sci-fi
films
is
that
the
plots
will
often
draw
on
apparently
reasonable
outcomes
in
the
near
future.
Climate
change
and
the
potential
threats
have
long
been
established.
Some
believe
that
the
issue
of
climate
change
has
even
led
to
more
fans
watching
films
to
learn
more
about
what's
happening
to
the
world
–
seeing
it
as
a
form
of
edutainment.
A
study
conducted
by
the
Yale
programme
on
Climate
Change
Communication
tested
the
effects
that
two
climate
fiction
novels
can
have
on
its
readers
and
found
“significant
positive
effects”
in
terms
of
their
attitudes
and
beliefs
towards
the
climate
crisis
–
for
example,
understanding
global
warming
will
harm
them
and
future
generations.
Most
climate
films
are
not
only
extremely
popular
action
films,
but
also
cause
our
fear
of
what
some
see
as
the
approaching
end
of
the
world.
This
sounds
bad,
but
according
to
a
study
conducted
on
310
adults
in
the
US,
watching
such
scary
films
can
help
us
feel
more
prepared
and
less
alone
in
situations
such
as
the
pandemic
(疫情).
So,
it
looks
like
cli-fi
is
here
to
stay
–
and
there
seem
to
be
some
benefits.
Whether
it’s
there
to
educate,
entertain
or
prepare
you
for
a
climate
crisis,
it
might
have
a
role
to
play.
Which
of
the
following
may
be
the
subject
of
cli-fi?
A.
Time
travel.
B.
Global
warming.
C.
Weather
forecast.
D.
Economic
climate.
What
can
we
learn
about
cli-fi
films
from
paragraph
2?
They
are
often
about
extreme
natural
disasters.
They
want
to
show
that
man
can
conquer
nature.
They
usually
have
similar
plots
with
sci-fi
films.
They
can
show
the
true
near
future
of
the
world.
Why
is
the
study
conducted
by
the
Yale
programme
mentioned
in
paragraph
3?
To
prove
that
climate
change
has
potential
threats.
To
show
that
people
like
climate
fiction
novels.
To
tell
that
cli-fi
novels
have
positive
effects
on
readers.
To
explain
how
the
climate
crisis
affect
the
human
being.
What
does
the
writer
mainly
want
to
tell
us
in
the
last
paragraph?
Cli-fi
films
are
very
popular
as
action
films.
A
study
was
conducted
on
310
adults
in
the
US.
The
pandemic
make
people
scared
and
alone.
Cli-fi
films
are
useful
and
will
be
here
to
stay.

We
asked
four
people
who
watched
an
online
talk
on
technology
and
communication
by
Sherry
Turkle
for
their
opinions.
Fred:
The
talk
certainly
gave
me
plenty
of
food
for
thought
about
how
technology
is
changing
our
behaviour.
People
are
constantly
multitasking,
whether
it
be
emailing
during
meetings
or
texting
in
the
checkout
queue.
It’s
as
if
we
can’t
bear
to
miss
out
on
what
our
online
friends
are
up
to,
so
we
juggle
the
real
and
online
world.
My
greatest
concern
is
that
we
don’t
give
our
brains
a
chance
to
switch
off.
It’s
these
precious
moments
when
we
actually
process
information
that
helps
us
make
important
decisions.
Jeremy:
It
was
a
fascinating
talk
and
the
speaker
really
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
with
a
couple
of
things.
Take
parental
influence,
for
instance.
How
can
we
expect
teenagers
not
to
text
while
doing
their
homework
when
they
witness
their
parents
posting
on
social
media
while
cooking
the
evening
meal
or
waiting
at
a
red
light?
Kath:
So
much
of
what
the
speaker
said
rang
true.
I
honestly
believe
there’s
a
danger
that
the
more
connected
we
are,
the
more
isolated
we
feel.
I
don’t
think
this
is
such
an
issue
for
my
generation
who’ve
lived
without
technology
for
so
long.
We
know
how
to
be
alone.
But
the
under
20s
are
another
kettle
of
fish.
They’re
so
busy
communicating
that
they
never
experience
the
feeling
of
solitude
and
run
the
risk
of
not
learning
how
to
enjoy
their
own
company.
Carl:
I’m
not
sure
to
what
extent
I
agree
that
people
are
more
alone,
but
the
way
we
communicate
has
certainly
evolved.
The
speaker
makes
a
good
point
about
how
we’re
getting
used
to
talking
with
machines
like
Siri
or
robots,
which
are
totally
lack
of
experience
of
human
life.
But
despite
such
limitations,
we
seem
to
be
expecting
more
from
technology
and
less
from
each
other.
What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“these
precious
moments”
in
paragraph
2
refer
to?
When
our
brains
are
free.
When
we
emailing
during
meeting.
When
we
texting
in
the
checkout
queue.
When
we
juggle
the
real
and
online
world.
What
suggestion
may
Jeremy
give
to
the
parents?
Accompany
their
children
when
they
are
doing
homework.
Prevent
their
children
using
phone
while
doing
homework.
Set
a
good
example
for
their
children
on
using
phone
properly.
Stop
posting
on
social
media
in
face
of
their
children.
What
does
Kath
worry
about
the
under
20s
generation?
They
communicate
more
with
others.
They
use
more
technology.
It’s
difficult
for
them
to
find
companies.
They
don’t
know
how
to
be
alone.
What
is
Carl’s
attitude
towards
the
use
of
technology
in
communication?
A.
Favorable.
B.
Intolerant.
C.
Doubtful.
D.
Unclear.

You
may
not
consider
yourself
the

type.
Maybe
your
first-grade
teacher
pointed
this
out
when
you
were
pulling
the
door
open
before
the

even
sounded.
As
a

maybe
you

many

Impatience
has
become
a
sign
of
a
troubled
society.
The
time
we
save
to
get
to
our
destination
faster
is
not
worth
the
price
we
pay
for
our
health.
As
we
all
know,
in
traffic
making
rash
decisions
can
send
yourself
and
others
to
hell.

A
2011
study,

it

now
regardless
of
future
benefits,
you
are
going
to
have
that
extra
dessert
or
that
extra
ice
cream.
In
addition,
there
are
plenty
of
links
between
impatient
people
and
many
health
issues.
You
don’t
need
to
do
a
lot
of
research
to
link
impatience
to
high
blood
pressure
and
even
heart
disease.
38
And
if
you’re
constantly
anxious,
your
sleep
could
be
affected,
too.
39
The
first
thing
to
do
is
to
recognize
that
you
have
a
problem.
Impatience
usually
happens
during
several
situations.
One
of
them
is
that
your
environment
isn’t
conforming
(
符
合
)
to
your
expectations.
Another
is
that
you’re
not
conforming
to
your
expectations
of
yourself.
There
are
all
kinds
of
every-day
situations
that
test
patience.
Once
you’ve
found
that
cause,
though,
it
will
be
a
lot
easier
to
break
the
bad
habit.
Most
importantly,
once
we
understand
what
makes
us
impatient
isn’t
within
our
control,
we
can
change
the
way
we
understand
that
situation.
40
You’re
already
on
your
way.
You’re
not
alone.
It
will
help
us
stay
healthy.
If
you’ve
made
it,
congratulations.
However,
it’s
not
easy
to
be
patient.
So
learning
to
be
patient
is
important.
It
is
important
to
be
friendly
to
others.
Besides,
being
impatient
could
cause
anxiety.

In
moments
of
danger,
superheroes
don’t
hesitate,
they
leap
into
action.
And
so
does
the
little
boy
when
his
baby
sister’s
life
41
on
it.
When
8-year-old
Jaxson
Dempsey
realized
his
20-month-old
sister
Lelia
was
42
on
a
chicken
nugget
(
鸡
块
),
he
didn’t
panic.
Instead,
he
43
directed
his
dad
to
pull
over
the
car
they
were
driving
in
and
went
on
to
44
the
obstruction
(障碍物)
from
Lelia’s
airway.
Jaxson
said
he’d
learned
the
45
technique
from
watching
superstar
John
Cena
perform
the
movement
on
a
show.
Jaxson’s
father
Matt
has
nothing
but
46
for
his
son,
whose
quick
thinking
47
a
potential
tragedy.
“I
couldn’t
hear
her
because
she
was
choking.
48
,
she
wasn’t
breathing.
Thank
God
Jaxson
was
there
because,
without
him,
I
don’t
know
if
Lelia
would
be
here.”
While
49
were
the
last
thing
on
Jaxon’s
mind
for
doing
what
came
50
when
his
sister
needed
him,
they’ve
been
rolling
in
nonetheless
ever
since.
The
first
big
“Well
done!”
came
from
none
other
than
John
Cena
himself,
who
sent
a
personal
message
via
video
after
learning
of
the
boy’s
51
.
“I
heard
a
story
about
you,
and
it
really
52
my
heart,”
Cena
said.
Cena’s
53
was
high
praise
indeed,
but
the
awards
didn’t
54
there.
On
March
31,
Jaxson’s
hometown
welcomed
him
with
his
very
own
march
in
55
of
a
little
hero
who
turned
out
to
be
the
best
big
brother
a
little
sister
could
have.

Dating
from
the

58
some

years
62
(arrange)

the
documents
in

the

My
name
is
Frank.
I
was
from
the
north
of
England,
but
my
father
had
been
offered
a
better
job
in
London,
and
our
whole
family
had
moved
there.
I
was
12
and,
having
lost
all
my
old
friends,
I
felt
shy
and
lonely
at
my
new
school.
There
were
33
students
in
my
new
class,
and
most
people
weren’t
very
interested
in
a
shy
new
boy.
Tony
was
one
of
the
few
people
who
were
kind
to
me.
He
often
invited
me
to
join
his
particular
group,
and
as
a
result,
I
started
getting
to
know
people.
Tony
and
I
become
good
friends.
We
trusted
each
other
and
we
could
talk
about
personal
matters,
things
that
were
important
to
us.
Five
years
later,
Tony
and
I
are
still
in
the
same
class.
But
just
under
a
year
ago,
Tony’s
father
was
knocked
over
by
a
car.
He
died
a
few
days
later.
The
family
had
to
move
to
a
much
smaller
house
in
order
to
manage
financially.
Tony,
who
had
always
been
very
close
to
his
father,
changed
completely,
becoming
silent
and
moody.
He
had
always
been
a
clever,
hard-working
student
but
now
he
seemed
to
lose
all
interest
in
his
work.
He
started
losing
friends.
These
days,
Tony
and
I
see
each
other
from
time
to
time,
but
we’re
no
longer
close.
About
three
months
ago,
a
group
of
us
were
playing
football
together
after
school.
Having
left
something
in
the
cloakroom,
I
went
inside
to
get
it,
and
found
Tony
going
through
the
pockets
of
people’s
coats.
In
his
hand
he
had
a
wallet---and
I
knew
it
wasn’t
his！
I
knew
I
must
do
something
to
help
Tony.
My
mouth
fell
open
and
I
just
looked
at
him.
