21、 A European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses three dimensional (3-D) printing to re-create famous paintings so they can be touched.
One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss”. It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers. They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman.
Klimt finished the painting in 1908. Until now, people who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions. Andreas Reichinger started making 3-D versions of artwork in 2010. He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple’s robes are so detailed.
Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it she said,“ Exactly, can you see these? There are so many details.” Raditsch said she can imagine what the original painting looks like when she touches the reproduction. “It’s somehow round. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places it’s so smooth. And then I think to myself: it probably shines too!” Raditsch said.
The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3-D versions of its artwork. Some of the pieces at the Prado, in Madrid, Spain, have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part: it is made with widely available 3-D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.
【1】What does the second paragraph intend to do?
A.To introduce the content of “The Kiss”. B.To attract readers to admire the painting.
C.To tell the background of the painting. D.To introduce the secret of the painting.
【2】What troubled Andreas Reichinger most?
A.The great reputation of the painting. B.The very details of the couple’s robes.
C.The different versions of the art work. D.The pose of the characters in the painting.
【3】What’s special about 3-D version of “The Kiss”?
A.It lets blind people see the famous painting.
B.The robes in the painting are more detailed.
C.It can be appreciated by blind art lovers.
D.It is painted by three dimensional printer.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage ?
A.A European Union Program is quickly developed for the blind.
B.3-D printing technology lets the blind experience famous paintings.
C.A special museum is newly built for visitors in Vienna, Austria.

22、Self-management refers to self-control, which is a sign of inner strength. There is no one easy or simple way to learn it, as everyone’s mind works differently from another. 【1】 Here’s a list of ways to develop self-management skills.
Have goals
If something is important enough for you, it should be written down somewhere as your goal. Whether it is losing some weight or finishing a course with a certain grade, having a goal to reach is important for your motivation. It provides you a reason why you’re doing something or not doing something. 【2】
Set a schedule
Daily or weekly schedules gives you more of a feeling that things are being accomplished. Students who set schedules for themselves tend to be a bit more organized and aware of everything that is happening around them. 【3】 For example, they usually like studying for a few hours now and then they can hang out with their friends later.
【4】
If you fail to hit your goals, adjust your goals to make up for your past mistakes. Take a step back and assess (评估) what you are doing and change it. It’s okay not to reach goals, as long as you can acknowledge it and make positive changes towards meeting your goals. 【5】 But sometimes you just fall short. Knowing that it’s okay and that you can move on is all the motivation you’ll need to pick yourself back up.
Self-Management skills are essential for life. Only through Self-Management can you truly own your future. So take it seriously and find ways to improve yourself.

23、Unique and distinct to Rwanda, milk bars make many of our communities get together. They are places to meet for breakfast or lunch. They are also places to socialize with people of different backgrounds. While it is difficult for strangers to understand these local milk bars, they reflect a little-known truth about how intrinsic cows and milk are to Rwandan culture.
Pascal Kubwimana, a taxi-moto operator who has been coming to Kuruhimbi almost every day for two years, says he is not going anywhere. “I love the milk here,” he said, washing down his bread and beans with a litre of hot milk. “It helps me feel good all day when I have it for breakfast. I even take some home in the evening. My children love it.”
With around 70% of Rwanda’s population engaged in agriculture, cows are an economic advantage as well as a symbol of wealth and social status in rural areas. In fact, cows are held in such high regard here that it’s common to include the animal into your child’s name. Many traditional Rwandan dances are also inspired by cows. In the Umushayayo, which is often characterized as a sort of Rwandan ballet, women imitate the gentle movements of cows while showing their beauty and grace. And in the Ikinyemera, Igishakamba and other dances, men and women stretch their arms upward to represent cow horns.
In Rwanda, when you want to wish someone well, you say “gira inka” (may you have a cow) or “amashyo” (have thousands of cows), and you’ll hear the response, “amashongore” (have thousands of female cows). When you want to express profound gratefulness, you say “nguhaye inka” (I give you a cow).
【1】What can people do in milk bars according to paragraph 1?
A．Wear unique clothing.
B．Learn to prepare lunch.
C．Communicate with others.
D．Drink free specially-made milk.
【2】What can we infer about Pascal Kubwimana from paragraph 2?
A．He is fond of the milk bars.
B．He usually gets help from the barkeepers.
C．He often takes his children to the milk bars.
D．He dislikes staying too long in the milk bars.
【3】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The large population of Rwanda.
B．The traditional dances in Rwanda.
C．The importance of cows in Rwanda.
D．The agricultural development of Rwanda.
【4】What is the main purpose of people’s saying “nguhaye inka” in Rwanda?
A．To wish someone well.
B．To convey deep thanks.
C．To congratulate someone.
D．To respond to someone’s question.
