No one can deny that buttons are an important clothing device. But, can they rise to the level of art? Organizers of an exhibit in New York think so.
Peter Souleo Wright organized “The Button Show” at Rush Arts Gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Eleven artists used the small, ordinary objects to create sculptures, portraits and wearable art. Some of the works are political, some are personal and others are just fun.
Wright said each artist reimagines and repurposes the buttons to make art. “What I tried to do with this show,” he said , “was to look at artists who were promoting that level of craft.”
He said he wanted the button art to be comparable to a painting “because of the amount of detail and precision in the work”.
Artist Beau McCall produced “A Harlem Hangover”. It looks like a wine bottle that fell over on a table. A stream of connected red buttons hang over the side, like wine flowing down. Similar red buttons form a small pool on the floor.
McCall layers buttons of different shapes and sizes to create the bottle. The stitching that holds them together is also part of the artistic design.
For San Francisco-based artist Lisa Kokin, buttons are highly personal. After her father died in 2001, she created a portrait of him using only buttons. That memorial to her father led to other button portraits, including those of activists Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez.
Others use buttons for details. Artist Amalia Amaki of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, placed them on and around old photographs. Los Angeles artist Camilla Taylor attached buttons to three large sculptures that look like headless animals with long , narrow legs.
“The Button Show” ends at March 12. The Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation paid for the exhibition. The foundation was created in 1995 by the Simmons brothers: artist Danny, hip-hop producer Russell and rapper Rev. Run. The foundation seeks to bring the artists to urban youth and to provide support for new artists.
1.Why did Wright organize “The Button Show”?
A. To show the importance of buttons.
B. To support the new artists.
C. To raise the button show to the level of art.
D. To create sculptures and portraits.
2.Whose works are personal?

C. Lisa Kokin.D. Amalia Amaki.
3.If you want to see “The Button Show”, you should ________.
A. buy tickets before March 12
B. phone Peter Souleo Wright before March 12
C. go to Rush Arts Gallery
D. go to the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundationn

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words
seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great ef-
forts but forget them easily. That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words.
1. Here are some tips to help.
2. We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact
these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps acti-
vate aural(hearing) memory, which helps the memory. 3. The more familiar we are with the word,
the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.
Never memorize single English words. 4. Relate the word to terms we already know, either as
synonym or antonym. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic",
”huge" and "large". Make a sequence of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".
Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is go-
ing to swallow me whole".
Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words
will be of little help. 5. Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will
make in our English learning.
A. So take action right now.
B. Speak the word while memorizing it.
C. Memorizing new words is very important.
D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.
E. In fact, learning new words needn't be that difficult.
F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.
G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.
