Unit 3The world of colours and light艺术思维是人类最原始的思维方式，也是儿童心理发展的第一个阶段，艺术教育实际上是尊重人的心理自然发展的一种健康的教育方式，作为家长们，应该鼓励孩子去追求他们的艺术理想。

Why is Art Important in Education?Education is，another area where the presence of arts andcrafts is more than welcome. If children realize the importanceof art and creativity from a young age, they can grow up to bemore confident, more creative, and definitely more mature. Schools are the breeding grounds for future painters and movie makers, and these arts should be encouraged wholesomely in such an environment.Sadly, many parents do not understand why art is important for children, and subconsciously force them to follow career paths that are orthodox and conformist in nature. This is fair enough in its own way, because the world does need some standard blue collar and white collar jobs to continue its existence; but this is a choice that children should be allowed to make for themselves. The doors to creativity and expression must not be shut in their faces, even if it comes at a cost of making more money.To put it more scientifically, here are some benefits of kids' art activities that give a suitable answer to the question “Why is art important in schools？”Exposure to art, music and drawings at an early age improves the amount of brain activity in children.It increases the span of knowledge in the minds of children, thus making them sharper and more educated.It builds up the levels of self­confidence, self­esteem, motivation, cooperation and communication in children.It helps children understand other people's opinions and point of view as well.It helps them sharpen their problem solving skills, decision-making and gives them the possibility of really exploring their imaginations.1．arts and crafts n．工艺品2．wholesomely ad v. 有益健康地3．subconsciously ad v. 潜意识地4．orthodox adj.普遍赞同的5．conformist adj.墨守成规的1．What does the underlined word “breeding” in the first paragraph mean?2．What benefits can children get from exposure to art, music and drawings at an early age?【答案】 1.“Breeding” here means “reproduced” in the passage.2.

Why or why not?Which poem is your favourite? Could you recite part of it for us?The definition of “ poem”PoetryPoetry is a popular art form, which emphasizes rhythm, sound and imagery. Poems usually use language set up in lines, with a regular rhythm and often a definite rhyme scheme.

A cute white cat peeks out of a hole with only its head visible. A long-eared rabbit licks its lips while looking up at a carrot. A blue stream flows out of a dense forest.These aren't real scenes in a natural park. Instead, they're paintings in tree holes on a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. Hundreds of people are visiting the artistic road to take photos of the new paintings, causing traffic jams.The creator of these eye-catching paintings is Wang Yue, 23, a senior majoring in visual communication design at Dalian Polytechnic University. Wang describes her tree hole paintings as “a beautiful journey” through which she adds fun to her hometown.“When I saw that the trees by the roadside had lost all their leaves, the ugly tree holes became obvious，”she said.“I thought if I could paint some interesting scenes in these holes they might add some color to the city.”But Wang was worried that the pigments in her watercolors could hurt the trees. After consulting environmental specialists and getting permission from city officials, Wang gathered her color palette, brushes and a stool and got to work.With her simple tools, Wang can draw attentively for a whole day. “My first painting was of rosy clouds, but many passers-by couldn't understand it. Perhaps it was too abstract.”After that, she began to paint animals. Using her paintbrush she creatively placed a raccoon, a squirrel and a cat in the holes.Wang spent between half an hour and three hours on each painting. Gradually, she created a fairy-tale world in the city, which is always covered by fog and haze in the winters.Wang, who has now returned to her university, said she plans to continue painting the tree holes. Her next aim is to tell stories rather than painting individual animals.,[阅读障碍词]1．visible adj.看得见的2．pigment n．颜料；色彩3．raccoon n．浣熊4．fairy-tale adj.童话般的Please match the words with their proper meanings.1．abstract A.the dark shape that sb./sth.'s form makes on a surface between the light and the surface2．output B.a thing that you are given because you have done sth. good, worked hard, etc.3．calculate C.based on general ideas and not on any particular real person, thing or situation4．shadow D.the amount of sth. that a person, a machine or an organization produces5．commit E.to use numbers to find out a total number, amount, distance, etc.6．reward F.do sth. illegal or wrong答案：1.C 2.D 3.E 4.A 5.F 6.BⅠ.Do you know these artists?A．Leonardo da Vinci B．Pablo PicassoC．Vincent van Gogh答案：1.B 2.C 3.AⅡ.Do you know the following pictures?

They save a lot of space. A CD can store many books and it weighs just a few grams so that it is much easier to carry some CDs than to carry a heavy suitcase full of books in print when travelling or moving house. E-books provide people with a more personalized way of reading as the readers can set the pages, adjust the point size of the text or change the background colour. Some even provide a voice function so that people can ‘read’ their books by listening. Many people report that they read e-books faster than books in print. Besides, we can save a lot of trees because no paper will be used for e-books.However, as many other electronic gadgets, e-books have disadvantages as well. To read e-books, people must first have an electronic device that can display them. Besides, when reading e-books, people cannot make notes or comments on the margin as they can with books in print. More importantly, e-books available online may hurt copyright holders.3. Do you think that e-books will replace books in print?Step 8 Language points1.

Fantasy literature has been distinguished from other forms of literature by its style and its freedom of expression; an author has the ability to use any story-telling element to strengthen the narrative. Stories involving mysterious magic and terrible monsters have existed in spoken forms before the appearance printed literature. Homer's Odyssey satisfies the definition of the fantasy genre with its magic, gods, heroes, adventures and monsters. Fantasy literature, as a distinct type, emerged in Victorian times. Symbolism plays a huge role in fantasy literature.J. R. R. Tolkien played a large role in the popularization and accessibility of the fantasy genre with his highly successful publications TheHobbit(1937) and TheLordoftheRings(1954－1955). Rarely does one consider modern fantasy without thinking of the image of Tolkien and his creations. Tolkien was largely influenced by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths, particularly Beo w ulf, as well as modern works such as TheWormOuroboros by E. R. Eddison. It was after the publication of his work that the genre began to receive the name “fantasy”. Tolkien's close friend C. S. Lewis, author of TheChroniclesofNarnia and a fellow English professor with similar interests, also helped to publicize the fantasy genre. Authors such as John Flanagan, J．K.Rowling, Terry Brooks, George R. R. Martin, David Kier, Steven Erikson, Robert Jordan, Rick Riordan, Scott Lynch, and partly Laurell K. Hamilton, and Angie Sage are maintaining the genre's popularity.Though it is not uncommon for fantasy novels to be ranked on TheNe w YorkTimes Best Seller list, to date the only fantasy novelists whose works have debuted at number one on the list are Robert Jordan, George R. R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, Terry Goodkind and Patrick Rothfuss.,[阅读障碍词]1．narrative n．叙述2．genre n．类型3．popularization n．大众化，普及4．accessibility n．易接近，易受影响5．debut v．首次推出Please match the words with their proper meanings.1．fictionA．change or development2．antique B．very strict and difficult to change3．chapter C．books about imaginary events and people4．twist D．the main subject of something5．plot E．a series of related events making up the main story in a book, film etc.6．abuse F．an old object that is valuable7．vain G．connected with the people who live in a country8．rigid H．to treat someone in a cruel way9．civil I．unsuccessful or useless; too proud10．theme J．a section of a book答案：1.C2.F3.J4.A5.E6.H7.I8．B9.G10.DⅠ.Match the names of the novels with the pictures.A．ATaleofT w oCities B．Oli v erT w istC．Da v idCopperfield D．GreatExpectations答案：1.C2.A3.D4.BⅡ.Do you know the following writers?
