I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. When I was a child, my parents were very busy. And for my generation, we didn’t have the internet. In order to entertain myself, I found pens and paper, and I just started drawing.

At that time, I thought of drawing just as a hobby. But I was tired of studying for school exams. I wanted to do something creative. One day, it hit me: How nice would it be if I could do what I love for a living? I did research on the best art schools around the world. One of my friends studied art in the United States. She advised me to go to the Rhode Island School of Design(RISD). That was the only school I applied to after I graduated from high school.

Luckily, I was accepted into the RISD. There were new skills to learn every day. At first, I was a little confused. I tried many different things. Chris Baselli, one of my teachers, helped me to find my own style.

Now,　 I’ve been working as a full-time illustrator( 插 画 师 ) for ten years. I’ve drawn for newspapers and magazines such as The New York Times and The New Yorker. I’ve also worked with companies like McDonald’s and Apple. Some clients(客户) keep coming back to me. They love my style.

When I get an assignment( 任 务 ), I read it over a lot of times. I try to work out the most important message that I need to include in my work. Then, I forget about the assignment for a while— the best idea often pops up when I am not thinking too hard.

I’m still at the early stage of my career. One of the biggest fears that I have is losing the excitement. I hope that will never happen so that I can keep creating wonderful designs.

1.When the writer was a child, she drew in order to_________.

A.make money B.surprise her parents

C.entertain herself D.prepare for her career

2.The writer realized that she could draw for a living_________.

A.when she was in school B.after she went to the United States

C.when she was a pre-school child D.after she graduated from high school

3.After being accepted into the Rhode Island School of Design, the writer felt_________at first.

A.bored B.frightened C.confused D.disappointed

4.The underlined phrase “pop up” most probably means “_________”.

A.work B.win C.escape D.appear

5.According to the article, the writer fears that_________.

A.illustrators will be replaced by robots B.her clients will no longer love her style

C.the creative ideas will escape from her head D.she will no longer be excited about her profession
