Then mother managed to buy me some more paint and brushes, along with one or two drawing books and a pencil. This, of course, broadened my range of expression and allowed me to have a greater choice of subjects. After the first few weeks of uncertainty and awkwardness, I settled down contentedly with my new pastime(消遣). I painted every day upstairs in the back bedroom, completely by myself.
I was changing. I didn't know it then, but I had found a way to be happy again and to forget some of the things that had made me unhappy. Above all I learned to forget myself. I didn't miss going out with my brothers now, for I had something to keep my mind active, something to make each day a thing to look forward to.
I would sit on the floor for hours, holding the brush between my toes, my right leg curled up(蜷缩的) under my left, my arms held tightly at my sides, hands clenched(紧握)All my paint and brushes were around me, and I would get mother or father to pin the drawing paper to the floor with tacks(大头钉) to keep it steady. It looked like a very awkward position, with my head almost between my knees and my back as crooked as a corkscrew(瓶塞钻), but I painted all my best pictures this way, with the wooden floor as my only easel(画架).
Slowly I began to recover from my earlier depression. I had a feeling of pure joy while I painted, a feeling I had never experienced before and which seemed almost to lift me above myself.

阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life , ” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside , she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance (救护车) to her rescue.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secrets. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch , Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, any how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says , “ We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near-but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can use the Internet, the biggest library on the Earth.
1.What does the writer mean by saying “The telephone creates the need to communicate”?
[ ]
A.People don’t communicate without telephone.
B.People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C.People have communicated more since the telephone was created.
D.People communicate more because of more traffic.
2.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?
[ ]
A.Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
B.Mobile phones bring convenience as well as no secret to people.
C.Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D.Mobile phones encourage people to waste time in chatting.
3.Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?
a. Point 1. b. Point 2. c. Point 3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5.
[ ]
4.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously
[ ]
A.on the TV screen
B.with a computer
C.on chat lines
D.by telephone
5.The best title for the passage is
[ ]
A.Views on Telephones
B.Kinds of Phone
C.How to Use Phones
D.Advantages of Phones
