21、“Color, color, color!” are the words of artist Eric Carle. Eric is like the king in the world of children’s books. He has written over 70 children’s books. His most famous book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is common on children’s bookshelves all over the world. What most people don’t know is that Eric also makes art for adults, which is called “ArtArt”. People didn’t know about it, because he didn’t show it to the public until he was 84 years old!
Like Eric’s children’s books, his “ArtArt” is full of bright and clear color. He says he loves colors so much because he missed it during the war in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6. When he was 10, World War II began. He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted gray, brown or dark green. It was a sad time, and it seemed like there was no color anywhere.
At the end of the war, “when color came back”, Eric explains, “I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more color. Color is a very important part of my work.”
That’s true. Eric paints bright colors on paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues them onto another piece of paper. This method is called collage (拼贴艺术). In fact, it is what led Eric to his “ArtArt”.
Eric’s “ArtArt” includes large collages as well as paintings, photographs and even costumes. In all these works, he uses all kinds of colors-everything from purple to light green to orange. Now that’s a lot of color!
【1】When did Eric show “ArtArt” to the public?
A．In 1929.
B．In 1939.
C．In 1997.
D．In 2013.
【2】Why did Eric feel sad during World War II?
A．Because he could hardly see bright color.
B．Because he had to join the army to fight.
C．Because he couldn’t draw very good paintings.
D．Because he lived a very poor life with his parents.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Collage plays an important part in Eric’s book “ArtArt”.
B．Children know little about The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
C．Eric has created more books for adults than for children.
D．Eric moved to Germany with his family when he was 10.
22、Whatever we do, it is important to set goals. However, it’s easy to know about but difficult to practise.
People set goal, work hard at them for even a few months, and then forget them. Next year, they set the same goals. But why do so many people do it? 【1】 But that isn’t to say these goals aren’t achievable. They need to be broken down into smaller and specific pieces. 【2】
Many people are probably unwilling to support you to reach your goals. They’re comfortable with you when you have your own goals. 【3】 However, as you change and succeed, they may not like it. Why? It’s usually because your changes and achievements remind them that they could be doing it, too…but they aren’t!
You may have filled your schedule with so many things that there’s little room for your goals to grow. We must be careful not to confuse busyness with progress, as goals are always achieved step by step. 【4】 Success often comes when you know what to leave out, rather than what to include in your life.
【5】 The chicken became really excited when she saw a sign: “Ham & Eggs, $2. 99”. She said to the pig, “Look, we’ve got double billing again.” The pig said, “That’s natural for you to say! For you, it’s all in a day’s work. For me, it’s total commitment (投入)”. Goal setting is all in a day’s work. Goal achievement is total commitment.
A．Maybe they don’t stick to the goals.
B．Don’t spend too much time on small things.
C．They may be making goals too general.
D．Goal setting is like the pig and chicken walking out early one morning.
E．They may even be enthusiastic about your desire to change something or try something new.
F．Be selective about how you use your time and what you focus on.
G．Make small goals and you’ll achieve them easily.

24、Martha Graham, one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance, brought modern dance to a new level. Born in a small town near Pennsylvania in 1894, she did not know she would become a dancer. Once in 1910, Martha’s father took her to see a dance performance by Ruth Saint Denis, one of the first modern dancers in America. She decided then to become a dancer.
Martha’s parents did not approve of her desire to dance, as people saw American dance as a lower art form at that time. However, she chose to follow her dream, even though she was considered too old to begin dancing. In her early twenties, she began studying at a dance school in Los Angeles, California. Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance. She trained her body to become strong enough to meet the difficult demands of dance. After that, Martha Graham started teaching dance at a school in Rochester, New York. Later she taught at Carnegie Hall. There she began to create the steps of dances and created dances based on ancient Greek stories and famous women. In order to express herself freely, she started the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance in 1926.
Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom when she was 82 years old. She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civilian honor. She died in 1991. However, the Martha Graham Dance Company still performs her dances in New York and around the world.
