Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金)(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor) For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use les s? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.zx.xkWe both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together.

文学、艺术、音乐)李仕才导读:一位美国早期的作家曾经说过:吗?美国人究竟有哪些音乐爱好呢?美国人对音乐艺术几乎是相当无知。
”你认可这种观点American Music StylesJames Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans--even those without a musical bone in their bodies--have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. Butother popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and life ′s hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee--Music City U.S.A.Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. ①Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s. This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, ②such as New Orleans, Chicago, New Yorkand Kansas City.③The 1950s saw the development of an explosive new music style: rock ′n ′roll. This powerful music style addresses issues like love, sex, drugs, politics and death. Often it rebels against the accepted values of society. Rock concerts, featuring loud music and sometimes weird stage acts, have become a major part of American youth culture. Music videos on television have spread the message of rock to the far corners of the globe.And the beat goes on. Pop music represents popular styles that have wide appeal."Golden oldies" from the past bring back pleasant memories for many. Rap music, which burst onto themusic scene in the 1970s, is actually more like a rhyming chant . Rappersgive a strong--sometimes vulgar --message about life in the streets.Americans have always been a religious people, and music has long been a part of their religious experience, as well. Today ′s Christian styles fit all musical tastes--from country to jazz to pop to rock to rap.In America, music is a shared experience. People grow up with piano lessons, chorus classes and marching band practices. They can talk about their tastes in music when there isn ′t anything else to talk about. ④If James Fenimore Cooper were here today, hewould surely have to change his tune.美国的音乐风格詹姆斯·费尼莫尔·库柏,一位美国早期的作家,曾经说过:“美国人对音乐艺术几乎是相当无知。

手捧一卷书,足不出户我们就可以横越苍茫大海、漫步丝绸之路。
Why Do I ReadI grew up in a house where the TV was seldom ①turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives by creating worlds we could step into, ②take part in and live in. With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction.As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.缘何读书小时候,我们家里很少开电视,我卧室的一面墙壁上都是书架,童年的大部分时间我都是与书为伴度过的。
文学艺术类1、Beijing Opera is also called Peking Opera. It came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui opera troupes(戏班) came to Beijing. Its music and singing come from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. Its costumes are all fascinating and artistic. It is the highest expression of the Chinese culture. It’s full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, and wonderful gestures and fighting. This kind of opera is very popular with Chinese people.There are four main roles in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou. Sheng is the leading male actor. For example, a Wusheng is a soldier or fighter. A Xiaosheng is a young man. A Laosheng is an old man. Dan is the female role. Jing, mostly male, is the face-painted role and Chou is the comedy actor or clown.Stories in Beijing Opera are very interesting. Some of them are from the history book, but most of them are from the literature, especially famous novels. The people in the story usually have some disagreements. They become angry and unhappy. They are sad and lonely. Sometimes they are nervous and worried. Then they find a way to make peace. The stories usually end with happiness and laughter and people are all happy in the end.1.The second paragraph of the reading is about the _________ of Beijing Opera.A.storiesB.rolesC.gesturesD.paintings2.Which of the following is the role Sheng?A.B.C.D.3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Peking Opera is full of different gestures.B.There are only four roles in Beijing Opera.C.Beijing Opera is the most popular in the world.D.The people in the story usually are in agreement.4.What is best title of the passage?A.The history of the BeiJing OperaB.The roles of the BeiJing OperaC.The introduction of the BeiJing OperaD.The stories in the BeiJing Opera2、Have you come across much Western children’s literature?Most English speaking children grow up with the same delightful set of fictional(小说的)characters.The Winnie the Pooh stories involve a strange selections of animals such as akangaroo,a pig,a donkey,a tiger,an owl and a bear,who live together in a wood,leading fairy ordinary life.Far more exciting and dangerous events take place in The Wind in the Willows,the story of the foolish Mr Toad and all his adventures.Talking animals is also the main characters in The Jungle Book and the Just So Stories.In the latter we find lots of imaginative explanations as to why the world is like what it is.Far more laughter comes from Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate F actory.Whillie Wonka is the perfect adult in the eyes of children with all his clever ideas and endless supply of sweets.Also much loved is Bilbo Baggins,the funny little rabbit,who ends up having adventures with wolves and dragons.Of course,the stories go on in the much more serious The Lord of the Rings,better read a few years later.A new star in the world of magic and children’s fiction is Harry Potter,the schoolboy who learns spells rather than maths.Adventure books remainpopular,too.Although well over a century old now,Treasure Island is still an enthralling story with young Jim Hawkins dealing with secret maps and pirates.Such books make childhood a time of wonder and imagination.1.Which of these is NOT mentioned as a character in The Winnie the Pooh stories?A.B.C.D.2.In which book would you expect to find the chapter “How the tiger got his stripes(纹)?”A.The Wind in the WillowsB.Treasure IslandC.Just So StoriesD.The Lord of the Rings3.The underlined word “enthralling” in Paragraph 4 means _________.A.interestingB.modernC.disappointingD.frightening3、We considered a list of the best American books-but we’d need a whole issue to do them justice. Here are five that help define the national character. Most from a century or so ago, they still entertain, teach, and inspire us.Moby-Dick by Herman MelvilleFirst published in 1851, the adventure stories of Captain Ahab and his monomaniacal(偏执的) pursuit of the white whale draw us into a universe full of fascinating characters and stories.The Education of Henry Adams by Henry AdamsAwarded the Pulitzer Prize in autobiography(自传) in1918, descended from one of America’s most famous political dynasties, Adams provides insight into his family, including his experience as a private secretary to his father, minister to England during the American Civil war.Leaves of Grass by Walt WhitmanWhen Whitman published Leaves of Grass in 1855, he wanted to define the American experience-singing of the new country in a new voice, reflecting the great changes in the American literary world that had taken place during his lifetime.Poems by Emily DickinsonAn enthusiastic poet whose works have had considerable influence on modern poetry, Dickinson’s frequent use of dashes, o ccasional capitalization(大写) of nouns, and unconventional metaphors(隐喻) have contributed to her reputation as one of the most inventive(创新的) poets of the 19th century American literature.The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth LongfellowFirst pub lished in 1855, this is Longfellow’s most popular and most recognized poem, the heroic life and death of a magic American Indian, sent by the Great Spirit to guide the nations in the ways of peace.1.Walt Whitman wrote Leaves of Grass in order to ______.A.praise America and show the great changes in the American literary worldB.reflect the great changes in America that had taken place during his lifetimeC.give Americans encouragement in a new voiceD.show his talent and heroic life to us2.The underlined word “considerable” probably means “______”A.satisfyingB.excitingC.inspiringD.great3.If you want to read a story about a magic American Indian, you can read ______.A.Moby-DickB.Leaves of GrassC.PoemsD.The Song of Hiawatha4.What’ s the purpose of the wirer writing this passage?A.To make an advertisement for a bookstore.B.To introduce several best American books to readers.C.To tell stories of several famous writers.D.To talk about some knowledge about literature.4、William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task infounding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats’s death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:Earth, receive an honoured guest:William Yeats is laid to rest.Let the Irish vessel (船) lieEmptied of its poetry.1.Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family?A.It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter.B.It was sh ocked by Yeats’s choice.C.It was a typically wealthy family.D.It had an artistic atmosphere.2.According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats’s life?A.Yeats founded the first Irish theater.B.Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.C.Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.D.Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.3.What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden’s lines?A.Envy.B.Sympathy.C.Emptiness.D.Admiration.4.What is the passage mainly about?A.Yeats’s literary achievements.B.Yeats’s historical influence.C.Yeats’s artistic ambition.D.Yeats’s national honor.5 The end of the year is drawing near, and winter is in full swing. The Season brings along with it strong winds and snow-an environme nt that’s never comfortable to be in.This unpleasant and even frightening aspect of winter can often be seen in literature. In Shakespeare’s King Lear(1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been rejected by his two ungrateful daughters. He is out in the winter cold, suffering things that are usually reserved for the poorest and most unfortunate human beings.The winter is bad enough for Lear, but being abandoned by his family is worse. A song from another Shakespeare play, As You Like It(1599),is fitting for this poor old man’s situation: “Blow, blow, thou winter wind, /Thou art not so unkind /As man’s ingratitude(忘恩负义)”. Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity(不人道). There aren’t many things that are worse than winter, according to Shakespeare.Once winter became less of a threat to human beings ,literary works featuring it became more positive. Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature has often featured happy Christmas celebrations.The cold of the winter weather provides a contrast to the fun going on indoors.Dickens’ A Christmas Carol(1843)was the start of this, but Christmas is still a common, cheery element(元素) in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K. Rowling’ s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone(1997)as they sit down for their festive meal :“Harry had never in all his life had “such a Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce”.It is almost as much a pleasure to read about the meal as it might have been to eat it.Although winter stil1 isn’t the most cheerful season in novels and poems, it’s safe to say that writers have ce rtainly “warmed up” since Shakespeare’s days.1.What’s the author’s main purpose in writing this article?A.To recommend some winter stories in literature.B.To explain what winter is like in literary works.C.To describe certain customs that are related to winter.D.To tell us why winter is described as unpleasant in literature.2.What can we learn from Shakespeare’s works?A.Shakespeare didn’t like winter for its bad weather.B.King Lear dies of cold one night during winter.C.Winter is a time to think about our family members.D.Winter is compared with the ugly side of humanity.3.The author mentions Charles Dickens in the article because_______.A.a lot of his works are relevant to winterB.he is the most popular author of winter’ storiesC.he started a new way of representing winterD.his works make people feel cheerful in winter4.The example of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is used mainly to show_______.A.traditional Christmas food makes the winter cheeryB.Christmas is still a symbol of joy in modern storiesC.it’s a pleasure to read Christmas-related books in winterD.winter has become the happiest season in literary works6、Chinese people had never paid more attention to the annual Nobel literature award than they did when Mo Yan bec ame China’s first winner of the prize.The effect has not disappeared. Tourists continue to rush to Mo’s home village in Gaomi, Shangdong province, which has become a tourist site since the author was awarded Nobel Prize. Visiting the village is to walk into the world he created in Red Sorghum Clan, one of hisbest-known novels, adapted for the award-winning film Red Sorghum by famous director Zhang Yimou in 1987.About 210 hectares of red sorghum(高粱) is ready for harvesting, recalling this scene Mo wrote in the novel: "In the deep autumn of the eighth month under a high, clear sky, the land is covered by sorghum that forms a wild sea of blood. When the sun comes out, the surface of the sea shimmers(闪光), and heaven and Earth are painted with rich, wonderful colors."Locals have planted the sorghum for the coming film of the novel’s TV adaptation starring actress Zhou Xun, in similar style to 1987 when Zhang’s film was filmed. But while the sorghum fields disappeared after the film was made, this time they may remain.“We have signed long-term contracts to sell sorghum to wine producers,”said Zhang Xinfu, head of Xianjia village, Mo Yan’s hometown is in the area.“Dozens of wine producers came to discuss the sorghum business after Mo Yan won the prize,” said Zhang. Zhang said the wine producers promised to pay a satisfying price for the sorghum.1.What happened to Mo Yan’s home village after he won the Prize?A.Th e house of Mo’s at his home village was rebuilt for tourism.B.The local people at Mo’s home village welcomed the tourists.C.Many tourists rushed to Mo’s home village to show respect and interest.D.Mo’s home village remained what it used to be.2.The und erlined word “adapted” in paragraph2 probably means “___________”.A.settledB.designedC.re-organizedD.written3.Which season was it when the passage was written?A.Autumn.B.Winter.C.Spring.D.Unknown.4.According to the text, we can infer that the win e producer bought sorghum from Mo’s home village for__________.A.the fame of Mo Yan.B.good quality of the red sorghum itself.C.the lower priceD.the large amount of the red sorghum .7 Tang Dynasty poets sang for about three centuries in different tones. There were many famous poets living in the Tang period such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Poems of the Tang Dynasty edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of about 48,900 poems that were written by over 2,200 poets. But it didn’t co ver all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems; women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, likeJapanandVietnam.Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It’s a miracl e in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, and was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nation s in the world. Tang poetry wasn’t the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people. Philosophy and religion, handwriting and painting and music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and its greatest achievement.1.It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that_____________.A.there were more than 48,900 poems written in Tang DynastyB.in total there were four famous poets in the Tang DynastyC.only people in the Tang Dynasty created poemsD.in the Tang Dynasty most common people were poets2.The underlined word “adjacent” in Paragraph 3 probably means_______________.A.neighboringB.strongC.poorD.rich3.What does the author really want to tell us in Paragraph 3?A.In the Tang Dynasty all scholars were poets.B.Tang Dynasty poems were quite popular.C.Many foreigners came to our country during the Tang Dynasty.D.In the Tang Dynasty many poems were sung by women singers.4.Which of the following is NOT mentio ned in the passage?A.Why the poets created poems.B.Some other kinds of spiritual wealth in the Tang Dynasty.C.The significance and influence of the Tang Dynasty.D.The editors of Poems of the Tang Dynasty.8 England has been the birthplace of most of the great English-language theater written throughout history. Most of the plays in England that are truly famous have something in common. They usually come from a playwright(剧作家) with several famous plays.ShakespeareWilliam Shakespeare is considered the most famous British playwright.

Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Othello and Julius Caesar are all tragedies and performed in theaters around the world every year.

话题阅读集训(七)文娱与体育Ⅰ.阅读理解ARoberto Clemente was born in Puerto Rico. When he was eight years old, he started working on a sugar farm. Clemente worked many hours. But he always found time to play baseball. Even when there were no games, Clemente would throw whatever he could find — a bottle top or an old shoe.Years of practice made Clemente a skilled player. When he was 18 years old, he became a professional baseball player. In 1954, the Pittsburgh Pirates asked Clemente to play for their team. However, playing for the Pirates was not easy at first. Many of the other players treated Clemente poorly. Most of the players were white, and Clemente was a black. But his attitude and skill helped him become the leader of the team.In 1971, Clemente's team competed in the final game of the Baseball World Series. By this time, Clemente was one of the oldest players on the team. However, he was also still one of the best. Clemente had been hurt all season. But he believed in his skill and in his team. He promised his team that they would win. Clemente kept his promise and the Pirates won the World Series.After the World Series, Clemente became famous for more than just his baseball skills.On December 23,1972, there was a big earthquake in Nicaragua. Clemente decided to go to Nicaragua himself and give supplies to people there. But Clemente never had a chance to do so. On December 31,1972, his airplane crashed over the ocean. Clemente was only 38 years old.In his life, Roberto Clemente cared about many things. He loved baseball. He loved his country. And he loved helping other people. Clemente gave his life serving others. He died as a hero. One of his friends said, “If he had died as a baseball player, only people who love sports would remember him. But he died helping other people. And now people will remember him as someone who used his life to help others.”A.his age B.his raceC.his poor skills D.his bad attitude解析:选B推理判断题。

选材题型体裁话题词数难度18年浙江卷阅读A 阅读理解记叙文Charles Dickens在英国小说方面的重要贡献和深远影响324 ★★★☆☆In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The s team-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字)rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters —from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂)of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre sell ing off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A. his reputation in FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To remember a great writer.B. To introduce an English novel.C. To encourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.B请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

选材题型体裁话题词数难度任务型阅读说明文艺术是如何促进经济发的470 ★★★☆☆18江苏卷任务型阅读How Arts Promote Our EconomyWhen most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece ofmusic, or an award-winning performance in the theater. But arts groups bring broader value to our communities. Theeconomic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged.The arts create jobs that help develop the economy. Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists,technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people earn a living wagefor their professional knowledge and skills.Another group of folks is needed to help market the event. “If you build it they will come” is a misleading belief.Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and promote theevent. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coa lition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people asfull-or part-time employees or independent contractors.A successful arts neighborhood creates a ripple effect(连锁反应)throughout a community. In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the building, we began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs in 2008. Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.No doubt the theater has contributed to the area’s development and economic growth. Today, there are galleries, studios, restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences, where there is renewed life and energy. In this way, arts and culture also serve as a public good.TeCo Theatrical Productions Inc. made use of Bloomberg’s investment of $35,000 to get nearly $400,000 in public and private sector support during the two-year period. Further, Dallas arts and arts-based businesses produce $298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a metro area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an economic impact of almost $3 million and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry, including accountants, marketers, construction workers, hotel managers, printers, and other kinds of art workers.The arts are efficient economic drivers and when they are supported, the entire small-business community benefits.It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. But in order to stay in business, arts groups must produce returns. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B. But those who truly understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.Arts as aneconomic driverOur communities ___1___ from arts in terms of economy.___2___ of arts’ promoting our economyArts activity demands a(n) ___3___ effort. It involves creation, performance, and ___4___.★Artists make a living through their creative work.★Others get paid by marketing the event.Arts have a gradually spreading ___5___. They could help promote other industries whether they lie inside or outside arts.★Besides tickets, some jazz lovers will pay their ___6___ to and from the events.★Arts contribute to cultural development when people gather together to share their experience and renew their energy.Investment in arts could produce potential ___7___ economic results.★TeCo used a $35,000 art investment to attract an overall support of $400,000.★In Dallas, one dollar invested in arts could harvest and extraordinary return of nearly $300.★In Philadelphia the arts have created about 35,000 job opportunities for workers___8___ arts industry.Art students making a good livingWith these ___9___ in mind, art students need not worry about their career and have a(n) ____10____ plan.C阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
