题目列表(包括答案和解析)
How can something that represents nothing in particular be so eye-catching to look at? If you have once said, "That is easy to paint... Who would pay that significant amount of money for something that doesn't even relate to anything?", then chances are that you do not appreciate what Abstract Art really is. When looking at Abstract Art, you are seeing the most freely formed type of artwork an artist can create.
____1____. You would think that when looking at art that is non-representational, it would be less interesting to view as you do not know what the artist is truly trying to depict in his or her artwork.
____2_____. This type of art is meant to grab your attention and pull an emotional response right from within you. Once you see that part of the painting...the part that keeps you drawn in and your mind thinking, it is then when you know you are analyzing something special...something called Abstract Art.
____3____. So what grabs your attention when seeing this particular piece of art? Well let's think...what gets your attention in any circumstance? Why is a stop sign bright red? That's right...Abstract Art, in most circumstances, is filled with colors of all sorts that are meant to turn heads. These characteristics, along with others such as the paintings texture and other elements, are what make this form of art one of the most popular styles collected today. The creativity involved with these pieces of art brings upon a new imagination that some viewers didn't know existed within them. This art is from the heart and soul, instead of what you see is what you get. With that being said, you can now see that Abstract Art is more than just a thoughtless mess put on a canvas.
____4____. While viewing the work of a very talented artist, Osnat Tzadok, I came across a quote of hers that states "Every time I pass near a blank canvas I feel something explode inside of me. It is not something I can explain or pass on to someone else...but it is, always, a beginning of a new creation". This quote of Osnat's perfectly portrays what we, the viewers, should feel when viewing an artist's abstract creation. Just as an artist gets this "explosion" that Osnat speaks of, we receive the same feeling when looking at their piece if we truly appreciate Abstract Art. The beauty of non-representational art is that we can create the story within the painting. We can ask ourselves, "Why do these colors interact with each other?" or "What does this symbolize?".... and with those questions our imagination brings about answers.

Across the street from our home was a school and I would often watch the kids as they played basketball during the break. I often noticed a small 1 playing with boys. I watched in
2 as she ran circles around the other kids. She 3 to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. At other times I saw her playing alone, sometimes until 4 .
One day I asked her why she 5 so much. She looked 6 in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation（犹豫）she said “The only way I can go to 7 is to get a scholarship（奖学金）. I believe that I would get it if I were good enough at 8 . My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t 9 .” Then with a determined smile she ran towards the court. I watched her 10 those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her team to victory.
One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head 11 in her arms. The coach（教练）told her that at 5 feet 5 inches she would 12 never get to play for a top ranked team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should 13 dreaming about college. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She 14 her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches just did not understand the 15 of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship, 16 could stop her except one thing—her own attitude.
The next year, 17 she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college coach. She was indeed 18 a scholarship, a full one. She was going to get the college education that she had 19 and worked toward for all those years. It’s 20 : If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count

A patient came to see me about the stress in her life. She described all the things she had to do －one was to make her bed－from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked, probably thinking I’d been raised by wolves in a forest. However, she went along with my idea.
Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years－and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what?” she said. “I don’t dry my dishes anymore, either.”
This woman had made two major breakthroughs (突破). One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade – offs. The problem is, many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.
So what is the solution? There’s an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. The point is to do something for yourself every day. The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want – to – dos instead of have – to – dos.
What is the solution to the problem of managing time?
A．Doing more exercises every day. B．Taking time to visit friends regularly.
C．Stopping making bed occasionally. D．Doing what you want to do first.
What does the word “beaming” in Line 1, Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Worrying B．Smiling C．Depressed D．Luckily
