The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I

were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we

could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a

week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about

artists and painting styles(风格). It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the

summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool? First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting

faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so

funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted

people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly

(鬈曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn't see

what was so great about art.

On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman

called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could

tell by the mother' s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn't stop looking

at this painting ! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at

so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.

1. The aim of the mother' s plan was to _________.

A. take them to visit the museum B. introduce them to the world of art
