There have been many great painters in the rich history of Chinese art. Here are four of the greatest painters

from China.

Li Cheng (919—967, Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty)

Li Cheng contributed greatly to one of the golden ages of landscape paintings in world history. During his time,

he was considered the best landscape painter ever. He is remembered especially for the winter landscapes he

created and for simple compositions of tall, old evergreens set against a dry landscape. Several of his paintings are

in thin ink which gives them a foggy appearance.

Fan Kuan (990—1020 , Song Dynasty)

Fan Kuan began his career by modeling Li Cheng's work but later created his own style, claiming that the only

true teacher was nature. His finest workTravelers among Mountains and Streamsis a masterpiece of landscape

painting and many future artists turned to it for inspiration.

Qi Baishi (1864-1957)

One of the greatest contemporary Chinese painters, Qi Baishi is known for not being influenced by Western

styles like most painters of his time. He can be considered as the last great traditional painter of China. He painted

almost everything from insects to landscapes. He is regarded highly in Chinese art for the freshness that he

brought to the familiar types of birds and flowers, insects and grass.

Wu Guanzhong (1919—2010)

Widely considered as the founder of modern Chinese painting , Wu Guanzhong has painted various aspects

of China, like its architecture, plants, animals, people and landscapes. Wu went on to combine Western and

Chinese styles to create a unique form of modem art. In 1992, he became the first living Chinese artist whose work

was exhibited at the British Museum.

B

Recently, I read about a promotion from a home builder in San Diego where consumers (消费者) could buy a

4,000 square foot house for $1.6 million and get a smaller home bythe developer valued at $400 thousand for free.

This sounds like a fantastic deal, but I am alwayswary ofany promotion labeled (给……加标签) with“buy one get

one free”, and here is why.

Oftentimes, “buy one get one free” ends up being “buy two at the regularprice”. For example, I often see

“buy one get one free” ads for orange juice at the supermarket, but the first box always costs over $5.00. At the

same time, the juices not in the promotion are selling for $2.50 to $2.99 a box.

Another problem with “buy one get one free” is that oftentimes you do not need the second item. I only

consume one gallon of milk every two weeks. If I were talked into buying a second gallon in a “buy one get one

free” promotion, then the second gallon would go bad before I have time to consume it. That creates waste

instead of savings.

In the case of theSan Diegodeveloper, so far they have received one offer on their expensive houses, but the

buyer does not want the cheaper house for free. Instead, he wants the value of the smaller home taken away from

his purchase price. I think this guy is quite wise because he saw right through the marketing of “buy one get one

free”.

Finally, it is up to you to see how much you need and how much you are willing to spend. Knowing the

regular price of things also helps you in deciding whether a “buy one get one free” promotion is truly a great deal.

4. What does the underlined part “wary of” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. annoyed at B. careful about C. familiar with D. puzzled about

5. Why does the author mention milk in Paragraph 3?

A. To show that there are many promotions of food.

B.To suggest that people think twice before they shop.

C. To prove that the second item isn’t always as good as the first one.

D. To show that people often buy more than they need in the promotion.

6. What does the house buyer want to do?

A. Buy the smaller house only.

B. Get the smaller house for free.

C. Buy the larger house for $1.2 million.

D. Buy both the larger and smaller houses for $2 million.
