At that time many artists painte d in a very traditional way that involved spending hours in a studio, painstakingly (辛苦地) creating paintings that were extremely detailed. These paintings were sometimes of people or landscapes or historical events. In 1863, Edouard Manet exhibited his pai nting “Dejeuner sur l’erbe” at the Salon des Refuses. The painting caused a commotion (骚动), thus starting the Impressionist movement. Although Edouard Manet is the declared leader and founder of the group, he was not present at the first group exhibition or any of the other eight collective Impressionist shows. The movement gained more attention in the April of 1874 when Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Jean-Frédéric Bazille formed Society of Artists, Painters, Sculptors, Engravers and began exhibiting outside of the official salon. The same year, the term Impressionism was invented by criticizing (批评的) journalist Louis Leroy to describe their paintings, who worked for the magazine Le Charivari.The Impressionists often paint out of doors and want to show how light and shadow fall on objects at particular times of the day. Their works are sometimes described as “captured moments”and are characterized by short quick brushstrokes (笔) of colour which, when viewed up close looks quite messy and unreal. If we step back from the Impressionist paintings, the colours are blended together by our eyes and we are able to see the painters’ subjects which often show colourful landscapes, sunlight on water as well as people busy with outdoor activities.41. Before Impressionism, the works of artists were .A. quite abstractB. very confusingC. very detailedD. quite controversial42. Who first started Impressionism? ___________A. Claude Monet.B. Edouard Manet.C. Auguste Renoir.D. Alfred Sisley.43. The works of the Impressionists are best viewed .A. with imaginationB. at a distanceC. outdoorsD. in a studio44. The second paragraph is mainly about ______.A. the painting style of the ImpressionistsB. how to describe the Impressionist paintingsC. the influences of the Impressionist paintingsD. the subjects of the Impressionist paintingsBPoetry is an interesting form of writing. It is very free, has few restrictions and can be a great way to express feelings. Writing a poem is all about observing the world within you or around you.To write a poem, first you should begin with an idea or inspiration. Inspiration may come at any time unexpectedly. It may be a specific person, place or thing that causes some sort of strong emotion. It may be more of an abstract idea or release of emotion.After getting the idea, you can write down everything that comes to mind. Don’t think much and let all feelings pour out. Remember everything can be thrown out later.Then, you can think about its form and begin to organize thoughts. Poetry comes in many forms, from epic poetry that has a story to dramatic poetry intended to be performed. Try them all out. One will come naturally. Maybe different poems fit different forms. When you write a poem, think about both meter (韵律) and rhythm carefully, which are equally important in poetry. Meter is the fixed pattern of the poem, while rhythm refers to the sound when it is spoken. It is also important to use a lot of descriptive words. Create imagery (意象) with words, trying to make them attractive to all the senses. For auditory (听觉的) interest, try repeating of similar sounds in a sentence or phrase. All of this adds life and interest to a poem.After you finish your work, don’t be afraid to share your work with others. When others pointout your weakness, accept and grow from it.45. What does the underlined word “restriction” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?_______A. Change.B. Order.C. Limitation.D. Organization.46. When you begin to write a poem, you should first .A. begin with some specific personsB. come up with an ideaC. describe a famous placeD. organize your thoughts47. We can infer from the text that .A. writing poems needs imagination and the ability to use language wellB. people can get more ideas if they often share their poems with othersC. people should first learn to write epic poetry, then dramatic poetryD. people need to write down every feeling they want to release at a time48. What’s the purpose of the text?_________A. To tell readers how to write a poem.B. To encourage more people to write poems.C. To show what quality a good poem should have.D. To teach people how to appreciate poems.CVitamin D helps bones and muscles grow strong and healthy. Low levels of vitamin D can lead to diseases such as rickets (佝偻病), mainly found in children. The thinning of bone is a common problem as people, especially women, get older.But more and more research is suggesting that vitamin D might also help prevent many diseases. The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight. The sun’s ultraviolet (紫外线的) rays react with skin cells to produce vitamin D. But many people worry about getting skin cancer and skin damage from the sun. As a result they stay out of the sun. Also, darker-skinned people produce less vitamin D than lighter-skinned people. The amount also decreases in older people and those living in northern areas that get less sunlight.Not many foods naturally contain vitamin D. Foods high in this vitamin include oily fish and fish liver oils (鱼肝油). Farmed fish have only about one-fourth as much vitamin D as wild fish. Small amounts of vitamin D are found in beef liver, cheese and egg yolks. But most of the vitamin D in the American diet comes from foods such as milk.Research in the last several years has shown that low levels of vitamin D may increase the risk of heart attacks in men and deaths from some cancers. More doctors are now having their patients tested for their vitamin D levels. But as research continues, some experts worry that if people take too much vitamin D, it might act as a poison. Also, skin doctors warn people to be careful with sun exposure because of the risk of skin cancer.49. The first paragraph is mainly about .A. the muscle diseasesB. the sources of vitaminsC. the importance of healthD. the functions of vitamin D50. Which of the following people produce the least amount of vitamin D?______A. Elderly darker-skinned people.B. Young lighter-skinned people.C. Elderly lighter-skinned people.D. Young darker-skinned people.51. People can get the most vitamin D from .A. beef liverB. cheeseC. wild fishD. farmed fish52. What can we infer from the text?_________A. Being exposed to sunlight is the safest way to get vitamin D.B. Lack of vitamin D can make people age quickly.C. Proper vitamin D levels people need are still not determined now.D. The vitamin D level is higher in men than in women.DHigh school graduation is indeed important for the person concerned. It is usually marked by a party where friends and family present the person with gifts as a celebration. Below are some good choices for those who will go to college.You can buy a folding bike. It is a good choice for a high school graduate going to college who may not have room to store a traditional bike. He or she will love moving around the school. It can be easily folded and carried, which would be great for those who often trip back home on weekends. You can also buy a Walkman. It is not expensive. The person can enjoy music while walking, exercising or studying. It can help improve one’s mood.College is an important time for a person’s career. Many high school graduates know little about the fields they will enter. So why not buy the person a book on what to expect in college life? That way the person would be fully prepared for college. Also he or she can tell something about it to his or her classmates. It is a reality that knowledge is something that cannot be taken away. Healthy food is a major issue in college. Some students have to put up with the bad-taste food in the college dining hall. A refrigerator which can keep food fresh is an excellent choice.In short, there are so many you can choose from as high school graduation gifts. So what gift are you planning to give to the bright young person?53. Why is a folding bike a good gift?_______A. Because it is convenient and takes up little space.B. Because it can help students save more time.C. Because it is environmentally friendly and cheap.D. Because it is much lighter than traditional bikes.54. How many great choices are mentioned in the text?________A. 3.B. 4.C. 5.D. 6.55. Gifts for people who will go to college should be .A. usefulB. cheapC. lovelyD. fashionable56. What’s the text mainly about?_________A. How to celebrate high school graduation.B. How to make college life easy.C. What a good gift means to high school graduates.D. What to buy for people who will go to college.EMany of us don’t like what we see around us but the last thing we do is to change it. I think that is the beginning of fa ilure and that is why what we hate remains around us. If you don’t want to see things around you, don’t just hope it’ll change.We have such an amazing power of creativity inside us to change the way things work around us. Only lazy people go about and sa y that is the way things have been working. I’ve come to discover that things around us depend on our actions and inactions. What I mean is that the circumstances that we like depend only on the things we do and the things we don’t do.Do you want your country to change? Start by changing the small things around you. Before you think too far about any small thing to change, your habit should be the first thing to change. Change what you think about and talk about. Can you remember how difficult it was for you to break a habit that you desired to break some years back? If so, then you must accept that things aren’t just going to change by a magic thought. If it isn’t so easy to change yourself when you want to, it isn’t going to be so easy to change the peopl e around you.I think the best way I’ve changed people around me is that I changed myself. When you change, they’ll change. Just change yourself and see how many people will tell you later that you are the one who changes them. That’s one simple way young people can change their nations.57. According to the text, why do we fail to change what we don’t like? _________A. Because we lack the power of creativity.B. Because we never plan to change them.C. Because they cannot be changed.D. Because we don’t have the ability.58.

The third paragraph aims at .A. telling readers one of the author’s interesting experiencesB. giving an example to show how to change things around usC. showing readers how to change a nationD. asking us to remember to change our nation60. What can we learn from the text? ________A. Circumstance creates a person.B. It is never too late to change your habits.C. A long journey begins with the first step.D. Changing ourselves means changing others.第二节（共5小题）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!26. Which of the following b est explains the underlined word “A border collie”?A. a parrot which is betterB. a dog which is foolishC. a dog which is smarterD. a dog which is better27. From paragraph 2 we know that __ .A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC. dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old childrenD. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills28. Both experiments show that .A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB. Rico can recognize different things including toysC. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them29. Which of the following statements is true?A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.B. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.C. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.30. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To be friendly to your dog.B. To train your dog.C. To talk to your dog.D. To be careful with your dog.BIn the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ is about, It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life--style of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories, He called it ‘Keeping up with the Joneses’ because ‘Jones’ is a very common name in the United States.’ Keeping up with the Joneses’ came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are ‘Jonses’ in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.31. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ______.A. want others to know or to think that they are richB. want to be as rich as their neighboursC. don’t want others to know they are richD. want to be happy32. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to ________.A. live outside New York CityB. live in New York CityC. live in apartmentsD. have many neighbours33. The underlined word “neighbourhood” in the second paragraph means ________.A. a person who lives near anotherB. people living in an areaC. an area in another town or cityD. an area near the place referred to34. Arthur Momand used the name ‘Jones’ in his series of short stories because’ Jones’ is ________.A. an important nameB. a popular name in the United StatesC. his neighbour’s nameD. not a good name35. According to the writer, it is to keep up with the Joneses.A. correctB. impossibleC. interestingD. goodCThe way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment , self - improvement.Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 36．According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _______ .A. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleB. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageC. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitementD. he is unwilling to take on family responsibilities37．Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ____________ .A. a moral dutyB. a rewarding taskC. a thankless jobD. a source of inevitable pain38. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from __________ .A. hatredB. prejudiceC. misunderstandingD. ignorance39．To understand what true happiness is one must ____________ .A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetimeB. be able to distinguish happiness from funC. make every effort to liberate oneself from painD. put up with pain under all circumstances40．What is the author trying to tell us?A. attaining happiness is necessary for everyone.B. It is important to make commitments.C. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain．D. It is pain that leads to happiness.DBoys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (男子气概), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to be consistent to a stereotype, a US study says.Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their abilities to express their emotions, rather than feeling they had to obey to the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.The findings of the study are against the received wisdom that boys do betterwhen taught alongside girls.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being ignored by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.“But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom”, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James of the University of Virginia.Teac hers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have sharper vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be gi ven “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes,” James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to give in to a stereotype(陈词滥调) that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools boys feel pressed to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,” th e study reported.41. The author believes that a single-sex school would ____ .A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyB. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”C. help to form masculine aggressiveness in boysD. naturally place emphasis on the traditional image of a man to boys42. What does Tony Little say about the British education system?A. It fails more boys than girls academically.B. It focuses more on mixed school education.C. It places more pressure on boys than on girls.D. It fails to give boys the attention they need.43. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _____ .A. grow up more healthilyB. perform relatively betterC. behave more responsiblyD. receive a better education44. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is _____.A. boys can focus on their lessons without being absent-mindedB. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inC. teaching can be d esigned to promote boys’ team spiritD. teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of boys45. Which of the following is the characteristic of boys according to Abigail James’report?A. They have sharper vision.B. They enjoy being in charge.C. They act the same to stereotypes.D. They are violent and sexist.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请根据下面需要志愿帮助的信息，找出能够为他们提供帮助的援助者。

2023-2024学年广东省华侨中学高二下学期3月月考英语试卷If you are crazy about paintings, you shouldn’t miss the following four famous masterpieces which have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document in fifteenth-century society, through Van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of Van Gogh’s most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurs within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.GuernicaGuernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofaí in Madrid.1. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?A．The Arnolfini Portrait. B．The Starry Night.C．The Harvesters. D．Guernica.2. What do we know about the painting The Starry Night?A．It was painted on wood in oil.B．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1940s.C．It described the painter’s life in hospital.D．It was given away to the museum by a private collector.3. Who created the painting representing the massive catastrophe the Nazism brought to people?A．Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B．Vincent van Gogh.C．Jan van Eyck. D．Pablo Picasso.For us, one of the many cultural shocks we experienced was during our time in Bolivia. We spent five months traveling around South America but Bolivia surprised us most. Tourism and the approach to service in Bolivia are, to some extent, underdeveloped, which is not necessarily bad. However, you might get the feeling that the locals don’t like your presence. At times we didn’t feel welcome at all.Bolivians will stare at you, give angry looks, and of ten won’t even say hi when you come to their stores and restaurants. After some conversations with locals, we were told that the negative attitude had nothing to do with us. Bolivians are just not used to foreigners and don’t really know how to handle tour ists. But we can’t even blame them. After a long and hard time as a Spanish colony, people are still very suspicious of foreigners.What we loved most and surprised us is how Bolivians keep their traditions alive, which is truly amazing. we often saw locals wearing their traditional clothes and marketing their self-made medicine. These and other efforts to preserve their customs deserve respect. You just can’t see that in many countries in the world.I loved their clothes so much that l borrowed a tradition al Bolivian dress to try to overcome the “tourist vs local barrier” and show the locals on the island that we truly love their culture and appreciate it. The experience was absolutely wonderful. We walked to the sunset point and locals were smiling and wav ing at us, cheering and we felt like we had a “connecting moment”.Even though we had this cultural shock and despite the negative feelings at the beginning of our travels in Bolivia, we have to say that we will never forget how special Bolivia was to us.4. How might newcomers feel about Bolivians?A．They are cold. B．They are gentle.C．They are clever. D．They are generous.5. What shaped Bolivians’ attitude to foreigners?A．Foreigners’ rude manners.B．The location of the country.C．The unpleasant history of the country. D．Local people’s lack of knowledge.6. What’s the author’s favorite about Bolivians?A．They seldom blame foreigners. B．They are good at doing business.C．They have many self-made items. D．They preserve their traditions well.7. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip to Bolivia?A．Comforted. B．Fruitless. C．Eye-opening. D．Embarrassed.Nearly 40 years ago, Peter Harrison, a marine ecologist witnessed the first recorded large - scale coral bleaching（珊瑚白化）event. Diving in the Great Barrier Reef（大堡礁），he was shocked by the scene before him. “The reef was made up of healthy corals and badly b leached white corals, like the beginning of a ghost city,” he says. Just months before, the same site was filled with colorful tropical life.“Many of the hundreds of corals that had been carefully labelled and monitored finally died,” he says. “It was shocking and made me aware of just how weak these corals really are.”Coral exists together with photosynthetic algae（藻类）, which live in its tissues and provide essential nutrition (and coloration). But high temperatures and other stresses can turn algae poisonous. When this occurs, the algae may die or be removed by the coral, a process known as bleaching because the coral’s clear tissue and white calcium carbonate skeleton（碳酸钙骨骼）are exposed. If the coral can’t reestablish its link with algae, it will starve or become ill.The widespread destruction Harrison saw in 1982 was repeated on many other Pacific Ocean reefs that year and the next. In 1997 and 1998 the phenomenon went global, killing some 16 percent of the world’s corals. With rising temperatures, po llution, disease, increased ocean acidity, invasive species and other dangers, Harrison’s ghost cities are expanding.Scientists suppose that about four decades ago severe bleaching occurred roughly every 25 years, giving corals time to recover. But bleaching events are coming faster now—about every six years—and in some places soon they could begin to happen annually.“The absolute key is dealing with global warming,” says marine biologist Terry Hughes. “No matter how much we clean up the water, the reef s will die.” In 2016, a record-hot year in a string of them, 91 percent of the reefs that consist of the Great Barrier Reef bleached.8. Peter Harrison was shocked when diving in the Great Barrier Reef, because _______.A．the reefs were made up of precious coralsB．he saw the corals he had tagged beforeC．the corals were ruined badly and quicklyD．he found a ghost city with tropical life9. Paragraph 3 is mainly about _______.A．the causes of coral bleaching B．the weakness of corals and algaeC．the elements that make algae die D．the process of building a link with algae10. The phrase “Harrison’s ghost cities” in Paragraph 4 most probably refers to ______.A．the coral bleaching B．invasive speciesC．global warming D．the polluted ocean11. What can be learned from the passage?A．With algae living in its tissues, coral’s white skeleton is exposed.B．The reefs die because the water hasn’t been cleaned thoroughlyC．Solving global warming is the real solution to coral bleaching.D．The severest coral bleaching occurred about four decades ago.When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if o ne knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”12.

What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Competent adults know more about love than work.B．Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C．Love brings more joy to people than work does.D．Independence is the key to one’s success.Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself whe n he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people lack verbal skills. 16 Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is creative and capable of self-expression.17 As a restorative practice, it allows people to express themselves in non-verbal ways, such as drawing and painting. Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state. Working with an art therapist does even more: 18Young children typically draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities. Adults, however, often have complex feelings about art and art making. They begin to evaluate the quality of their art instead of focusing on self-expression itself. 19 However, art therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is technically brilliant, so that they can connect or reconnect with the artworks that help them deal with life challenges.What are art therapists’ supe rpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks. For instance, people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another human being. 20 These artistic choices satisfy the brain's desire for novelty without compromising personal safety.It’s the textbook beginning of a nightmare: lost on a hiking track, with no water, and an injured dog too heavy to carry. _________, for the family of three this story happened to, they _________ a kind-hearted boy.For JD, Aimee, and their dog Smokey, a two-mile hike had become a _________.
