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.

阅读下面短文, 根据其内容完成后面各项任务。
For as long as I can remember, I have loved photos. When I was little, I would spend hours looking at old family photos. In the fourth grade, my parents gave me a camera to take with on our trip to Washington D.C. I took photos of everything that interested me during the trip.
Photography(摄影)is more than a hobby for me - it's my way of life. So why do I take photos?
▲To hold onto memories
Photos capture (捕捉) memories. Time goes by quickly, and it's not always easy to live in the moment. Taking photos makes me hold onto those moments just a bit longer.
▲To tell a story
Photos take us to another place and time. I take the camera with me and record my days. Later I show the photos to my friends and family as I tell them about my days.
▲To see the world differently
I look for the special and beautiful moments every day. Nothing is too boring to be beautiful - sometimes you just have to look for it.
▲ To learn a new skill
Photography is a journey and an art. Although anyone can take photos with their phone, there is a difference between taking photos and learning photography.学习是我生活的一部分。
▲To express(表达)myself
A picture is truly worth(值)a thousand words. What I can't explain in words, I can show through photos. Photos make me be able to show others how I see the world.
1.将文中划线的英语句子翻译成汉语。
2.When did the writer get the first camera ?

For as long as I can remember, Grandma’s plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer’s end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days, Grandma requests (ask for something) my help in her tomato garden. I’m sure that she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandma’s request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same, her desire for my help seems to increase each year.
Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe(成熟的)tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.
There we are, lost in the tomato vines(藤). Grandma’s eyes are always knowing, and they are no different in the vegetable garden. From afar she spots (notice) what looks like a ripe tomato. As she walks toward the garden, she evaluates the tomato for a second time, but from a different angle. I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen. However, Grandma acts as if she needs a final look to be sure. She calls me to her side, kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face, and grasps the tomato in her hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-hearted smile.
She then looks at me. I nod my head and smile. Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection. I know I smile, instead, at her.
1. Why does Grandma ask the author to go to the tomato garden with her?
A.He can help pick more tomatoes.
B.He can learn the hardship of labor.
C.She enjoys staying with him while working.
D.She tries to share tomato harvest with him.
2.The second paragraph shows that the writer _________.
A.isn’t good at picking tomatoes
B.doesn’t like to stay with Grandma
C.thinks his eyes and mind are useful
D.is trying to be out of Grandma’s sight
3. What’s the best title of the story?
A.Gardening—good for my Grandma.
B.Growing Grandma.
C.Gardening—good for my growth.
D.Picking tomatoes.

For as long as I can remember, seniors have attracted too little attention from society as a whole. For example, people may shrink physically as they get older and have a higher incidence(发生率) of falls, but how many people have thought about buying a more comfortable and stable chair for their elderly parents?
We spend generously on our children, such as hiring a nanny to take care of them .When we look for a nanny for our baby, we believe that someone who charges 8.000 yuan must be better than a person who charges 5, 000 yuan because they have a better grasp of how to interact with babies, But when we look for someone to take care of our elderly parents, we usually keep the cost as low as possible, We just want to make sure that caregivers will prepare three meals a day for our seniors, but we don’t take their psychological needs into consideration.
The differences in attitudes are obvious. However, we are not yet old, so perhaps it's hard for us to understand the bitterness of the elderly: regression(衰退)in health, a handful of pills every day, not being able to catch up with developments in the digital age, and the disappearance of the old streets and favorite restaurants from the good old days. Those are the kinds of lives they live and we may even live through something similar in the decades to come.
If we think about how we want to be treated when we grow old, we should start the changes today. Because the elderly were once the backbone of society and made huge contributions, they should enjoy the fruits of the country's development as well
1.What situation might old people face according to the text?
A. A high and stable income. B. Physical inconvenience.
C. Much concern from the public. D. Short of favorite food and fruits.
2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nanny” in paragraph 2?
A. home teacher B. coach C. storyteller D. babysitter
3.Why is it difficult for us to understand the bitterness of old people?
A. Because we fail to catch up with their development.
B. Because we are sharing a similar lifestyle with them
C. Because we are too young to experience their condition
D. Because we have spent much money looking after them
4.What does the writer think of the elderly?
A. They can make greater contributions. B. They are worth the attention from society
C. They should start to change themselves D. They need a handful of pills every day.

Masks, a simple protective tool, have been used by people for a long time. They can not only prevent epidemics, but also protect us from other harmful things, such as smog (雾霾) and chemicals. When was the protective mask first invented and how did it develop? Let's take a look.
1st century At this time, lots of people in the Roman Empire worked underground in mines (矿井). Many died of lung (肺部) diseases caused by dust. Pliny the Elder (23-79), a Roman philosopher, used animal bladders (膀胱) to protect miners from the dust. This was the first recorded use of protective masks. |
16thcentury Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) advised people to wear a woven (纺织的) cloth dipped in water over their faces to protect against harmful chemicals. |
19th century In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent (注册专利) a protective mask for miners. In 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikulicz Radecki designed a simple mask with one layer of gauze (纱布). He advised medical workers to wear it to prevent infection. This was the first use of a surgical (外科的) mask. |
20th Century In 1910, the pneumonic plague (肺鼠疫) broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a face mask called 'Wu's mask'. It was made of two layers of gauze. The mask was praised by experts around the world because it could be produced easily and cheaply. |
Today With several outbreaks of flu and the air pollution in recent years, masks have continued to develop. For example, in 2012, when China suffered from smog, mask models such as N95 and KN95 became popular. They can filter out (过滤掉) fine particulate matter (微粒物). China is now the world's largest mask producer, making out half of the world's masks. |
