21、Dear Ms.Smith,
It is with great interest and enthusiasm that I am applying for the arts education internship (实习)advertised in Sunday’s New York Times.This position is exactly what I am looking for and an ideal opportunity for me to use my knowledge,educational background,and experience.
My arts education at Pratt Institute has helped me develop a firm foundation in the arts.The courses I have completed at Pratt,along with my study abroad in Paris,has prepared me well for a position in arts education.I have always enjoyed a passion for the arts but my undergraduate (本科)education has taken my interest to a whole new level.I not only enjoy doing art but I find myself even more enthusiastic when I have the opportunity to teach what I have learned.
For the past two summers I have worked directly with children at CityArts.These experiences were amazing since my responsibilities included planning and directing major projects that were planned for the summer program that goes on each year for local children interested in the arts.I was given a concept at the beginning of each summer and I had complete control of how the projects were to be completed.The children were the creative force and often were the inspiration for the artwork that was eventually presented to the public.
I am very excited about the summer opportunity with the Children’s Museum of the Arts since I know that I can definitely make a positive contribution while doing what I love,teaching art to children.I will contact you in one week to discuss my candidacy(候选资格)and see if you have any questions about my education or experience.Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Samantha R.Gray

22、He was wandering in a rice field of dreams. 【1】 After walking a while he lay down in the leaf-shade with a friend, quite hidden. A rest was a good idea, because the wonder-plants went on and on. In fact, they covered the world.
Then Yuan Longping woke up, laughing. 【2】. But they still deserved their name of super rice. The leaves were straighter and taller than ordinary, and the grains plumper. They had all the vigor of the wild strain that he and his team had found after much searching and had cross-bred, over careful years, with the domesticated variety.
The figures spoke for themselves. 【3】. In Yunnan province more than 17000 kilograms had been produced per hectare. China’s rice crop had risen from 57m tonnes in 1950 to 195m in 2017; from food deficiency, to food security. Higher rice-yields allowed farmers to turn more land to other uses-fruit, vegetables, fishponds-so that people ate more and well.
For this he won the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest, and the World Food Prize. An asteroid was named after him. There was talk of the Nobel, too. 【4】. Though he was rich, from his shares in a seed company that used his name, he looked like a peasant, thin as a twig, with his face leathered by sun and his big hands rough from “playing in the mud” all day.
He was far happier in his short-sleeved work-shirts, out in his rice, or stripped off swimming in any wild river he could find, than in a tang suit in some conference hall.
A.Nothing but the continuous development of his beloved country seemed to attract him
B.With his new hybrid rice the annual yield was 20-30% higher, so at least 60m more people could be fed every year.
C.His dreams focused on his people and his country, where all enjoyed food and wealth.
D.All that seemed just smoke to him.
E.The plants were taller than men. Each grain is as big as a peanut.
F.The rice plants he had tended for decades at Anjiang and then Changsha, sowing and nurturing them, visiting daily on his motorbike to inspect them, were not quite there yet.
23、If you are looking at travelling solo, here are 4 top destinations to add to your bucket list.
Austria
Nestling at the heart of Europe, Austria is a country of beautiful scenery, rich history and artistic treasures. Its patchwork of fairytale forests and snow-capped mountains make it the perfect place to let your mind wander into the romance of the past, while its vibrant and culturally rich cities offer plentiful opportunities to discover something new and inspiring. From the slopes of the Hochschneeberg mountain you can see as far as Hungary, while riding the Salamander train that winds along mountain passes is the best way of taking in the picture-book villages, gleaming lakes and stunning gothic castles that dot the landscape.
Corfu
The Greek Island of Corfu was described by the writer Lawrence Durrell as offering "the most beautiful view in Europe". And he wasn't exaggerating. Olive groves, medieval villages and pristine sandy beaches lie in wait for visitors to this fascinating isle, while the laid-back and hospitable nature of the locals will ensure a warm welcome around every twist and turn of the Roman trails that traverse the landscape. The traditional local cuisine is simple, healthy and delicious, and the perfect way to relax and unwind after a dip in the Mediterranean.
Morocco
Morocco has been attracting travellers for thousands of years. Europe's gateway to Africa, it combines a mix of architectural styles, culture and history that make it quite unlike anywhere else on earth. The Agadir beach resort is a stretch of golden sand with a backdrop of tree-lined boulevards and bars, as well as the vibrant and bustling bazaars(集市)where you can enjoy bargaining-an essential part of any visit. The desert sun gleams off whitewashed Portuguese-style buildings, while the unique Berber customs and hospitality make Morocco a must for the solo traveller in search of relaxation and adventure in equal measure.
Copenhagen
Denmark's capital manages to pack a lot into a little. That is to say, it's easy to explore on foot or by bike, as many of the locals prefer. At twilight or in cloudy weather, the copper-covered spires of old castles and churches lend the city a dream-like atmosphere. You'll think you've stepped into a watercolor painting. Even without money, you can still enjoy the proud old trees, the colored night lights and the beautiful gardens. You might fell as if you are in a fairy tale. From the Tivoli Gardens, a traditional theme park to the Nyhavn district with its multi-coloured housefronts facing onto a picturesque yacht-strewn harbour, Copenhagen is a great place to wander around alone or in a group.
【1】Which of the following is not the reason for Morocco's fascination with travelers?
A.Building styles.
B.Unique customs.
C.Traditional cuisine.
D.Hospitable locals.
【2】In which place can you enjoy a very special harbour view?
A.Austria.
B.Corfu.
C.Morocco.
D.Copenhagen.
【3】What do the four destinations have in common?
A.They all boast world-class sandy beaches.
B.They are all places with beautiful landscape.
C.They all feature snow-capped mountains.
D.They are all only accessible to solo travelers.
