Pablo Picasso was an amazing painter who created with colour and shape. His paintings opened people’s minds and showed there were many ways to express ideas.
Born in Spain in 1881, Picasso learned to paint at an early age because his father was a painter. At fourteen, Picasso began attending the Academy of Fine Arts in Barcelona. Although Picasso did well, his teachers wouldn’t let him develop his own style (风格). So he changed schools. Though his new teachers praised his work, they still criticized (批评) it as being too unusual. Picasso made up his mind to express himself in his own way.
Disappointed at his job in Spain, nineteen-year-old Picasso moved to Paris, where he learned about abstract (抽象派的) art. However, an important development in his own style came along when his best friend killed himself. Picasso was so sad that he painted only in blue and grey. He painted the poor and the disabled. This is known as his “Blue Period” .
In 1904, Picasso’s painting style changed again when he fell in love with an artist model. He began painting everything with colours of red and pink. He mainly painted circus performers (马戏团表演) and artists during this time, called his “Rose Period” .
Picasso’s style went through another change as he began to learn about African art and geometry (几何学). Instead of painting with different colours, he used different shapes. His paintings surprised people because they looked like they had been broken and put back together incorrectly. Picasso’s new style became known as “Cubism”. Cubism was so unusual that it became very popular.
Pablo Picasso is most remembered for his Blue, Rose and Cubism periods. But his painting styles kept changing until his death at age ninety-two.
1.What were Picasso’s school teachers like?
A.Traditional. B.Careless. C.Friendly. D.Strange.
2.What did Picasso mainly paint during his Blue Period?
A.His friends. B.Artist models.
C.The poor and the disabled. D.Circus performers and artists.
3.How old was Picasso when he began his Rose Period?
A.14. B.19. C.23. D.35.
4.Which of the following sentences describe Picasso’s Cubism period?
① He used many shapes.
② He used different colours.
③ He was influenced by African art and geometry.
④ He painted broken things that were put back together perfectly.
A.①② B.①③ C.②③ D.③④
5.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The symbols in Picasso’s art. B.The secrets of Picasso’s success.
C.Picasso’s unusual human relationships. D.The changes in Picasso’s painting style.

In 1961 Obama was born in Hawaii, US. His father is an African and his mother is a white American. He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii.

John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. When he reached the high school age, his hometown offered no high school to the blacks. Luckily, he had a strong-willed (意志坚强的) and patient mother. His mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe.” She told him not to be dependent on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success,” she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”
These words came from a woman with less than a third-grade education. She also knew that belief and hard work didn’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough money to take her son to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the land that the blacks were looking for. John，s mother and stepfather could not find work here. But here John could go to school. His wish was to publish a magazine for the blacks.
While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by: “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” She also let him pawn (抵押) her failure to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.
It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always kept his mother’s words in mind. “Son, failure is not in your vocabulary.” John H. Johnson was one of the 400 richest people in America— worth of $150 million once.
1.Why did NOT John get into high school in his hometown?
A. Because his mother didn’t have enough money.
B. Because there was no high school in his hometown for the blacks.
C. Because the high school in his hometown was not good.
D. Because he didn’t want to study in his hometown.
2.What made John successful?
A. His family background and his hard work.
B. His good education experiences and his hard work.
C. His mother’s support and his hard work.
D. His intelligence and hard work.
3.What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. A failure is too difficult to deal with.
B. A try is always followed by a failure.
C. If you try hard, you’ll succeed finally.
D. You won’t beat a failure if you don’t try.
4.What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell us something about John H. Johnson.
B. To tell us something about John H. Johnson’s mother.
C. To tell us something about John H. Johnson’s family.
D. To tell us something about John H. Johnson’s career.
