    The world, in painter Chen Xiao’s eyes, is as colorful and sweet as ice cream.

    At the opening of his latest exhibition, Colorful World in the Eyes of Sean Chen, at the National Museum of China recently, the artist told his story.

    Chen left China for Australia in 1986 to seek artistic freedom, and like many new immigrants（移民）then, he had little money in his pocket. To make ends meet, he drew portraits of people in the street.

    Every day, he saw people buy ice cream from a shop. Chen couldn’t help wondering: “It must taste great, that’s why so many people buy it.” But he didn’t buy one for himself because he had to save money to support his studies. After four months of painting there and watching people eat ice cream, Chen didn’t resist the temptation（诱惑）--- he bought an ice cream. “The first bite took me to heaven,” Chen recalls while laughing. “You know, as a poor young man in a new country, an ice cream was too expensive then.” Since then, he kept the taste of the ice cream in his heart and included the happy feelings in his paintings, which turn out to be colorful and sweet.

    His current exhibition is part of his nationwide tour that began at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing in 2011. He plans to take his artworks to 24 cities around China by 2016. The exhibition at the National Art Museum of China will last until April 22. After the exhibition tour, he will sell his works through an auction（拍卖会）, and all the money will be donated to protection of the environment in China. “The natural environment of New Zealand has inspired my artwork and brought me enjoyment. I hope people in my home country can enjoy the same beautiful environment as I do,” says Chen, who has made New Zealand his home for the last 26 years.

    A. To have an exhibition.

    B. To seek artistic freedom.

    C. To visit his friends.

    D. To earn money.

    3. How will Chen Xiao sell his works after the exhibition tour?

    C. Through an auction. D. Through shops.

    4. What inspired Chen Xiao’s artwork?

    A. The natural environment of New Zealand.

    “Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast." Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.

    Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.

    Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.

    The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.

    Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places – including some museums and stadiums – worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.

    Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful.”

    Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set parkwide bans.

    1.Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?

    A. smart phones B. folding chairs

    C. cameras D. containers

    2.According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may __________.

    A. abandon them at the bag check

    B. get fined and pick them up later

    C. turn them in to the police

    D. put them in the trunk of their cars

    3.The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means__________.

    A. changing B. broadening

    C. blocking D. narrowing

    4.According to the passage, it can be inferred that__________

    A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security.

    B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides.

    C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orally.

    D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。

    Do you have any problem with time? Start doing these and you will see the difference.

    ● Write it down

    Don’t rely on your memory to keep track of every little detail. 1. Write down the things you need to do in a small notebook, or use online tool to create and update your “to-do” list.

    ● 2.

    Working for long periods without a break can waste your time. It is more efficient to work or study for a shorter period of time, take a break, and then go back to work. You may get more done in tow focused 45-minute sessions.

    ● One thing at a time

    3. Do one thing at a time, and do it well. As the Chinese proverb says, “One cannot manage too many affairs. Like pumpkins in the water, one pops up while you try to hold down the other.”

    ● Schedule email time

    On your cell phone you get a notification every time someone sends you can email. If so, you have to check your email many, many times a day. 4. Schedule time to check your email. It doesn’t matter when.

    ● Choose to say “No”.

    It’s easy to become overwhelmed if we say “yes” to everything. Think about the task before you commit to it. Do you need to do it? Can someone else do it? Avoid saying “yes” to every request. 5.

    ● Keep a goal journal

    Write down your goals in a journal and evaluate them regularly. Mark your progress for each goal. Be sure you take the necessary step to achieve your goals.

    A. Make a list first

    B. Don’t skip the breaks

    C. Turn that notification off

    D. Memory is not always accurate

    E. Don’t forget to focus on your task

    F. This takes time away from more important tasks

    Michelle was a student at University of California, Los Angeles. She is here to tell us how she feels about the city.

    What were the best things about Los Angeles?

    One of my favorite things about Los Angeles is the weather. I hate the cold and it never really gets that cold there. Plus, most of the time it’s usually sunny, which is good because I love going to the beach during the summer. There’s so much to do at the beach, but my favorite thing in L.A. was having a picnic on the sand with my friends.

    What were the worst things about being there?

    I disliked having to drive everywhere to get around because the city is so spread out. Los Angeles has a lot of traffic and sometimes it takes a long time to get somewhere close by just because the streets are so crowded. Also, a lot of people complain about the pollution.

    Did you have any problems there?

    Just the normal problems of living in any city, like watching out for pickpockets (扒手). Some people think Los Angeles has a lot of crime, but I think it’s as safe as any other city. Also, many people think driving is difficult because there is a lot of traffic and road rage (路怒症), but it just takes a little practice and a lot of patience.

    What are the people like in Los Angeles?

    There are all types of people in Los Angeles since the city is pretty diverse. For the most part, though, most of the people are friendly, calm and relaxed. Some people say that everyone in Los Angeles is beautiful, but I think that’s just a stereotype (模式化的印象).

    Would you go back to Los Angeles?

    Certainly. Los Angeles is one of my favorite cities in the world. I love the fact that it has all the nightlife and shopping of a big city, but also has access to beaches, parks, mountains and other places you can’t usually find in large cities. Between the weather and the beaches and all the fun things to do, it’s a great place to be.

    1.We can learn from the text that Michelle _____.

    A. hates the heavy traffic in Los Angeles

    B. dislikes the cold weather in Los Angeles

    C. thinks Los Angeles is small and crowded

    D. enjoys driving everywhere in Los Angeles

    2.What’s Michelle’s impression of the people in Los Angeles?

    A. They get angry easily.

    B. All sorts of people live there.

    C. They are patient and amusing.

    D. Everyone is kind and beautiful.

    3.How does Michelle find Los Angeles?

    A. Safe but noisy. B. Relaxing but busy.

    C. Polluted and dangerous. D. Diverse and interesting.

    4.We learn from the text that _____.

    A. Michelle was born in Los Angeles

    B. Michelle loved the life in Los Angeles

    C. Los Angeles has many traffic accidents

    D. Michelle has no plan to return to Los Angeles
