I still remember the day when I get my first bicycle as a seven-year-old kid. Pink in color, there was a four-wheel bicycle with a beautifully picture of Barbie on the seat. Every morning I would ride it and I enjoyed ring the bell whenever I saw people coming near. My cycle had a basket in the front, which I always kept my favorite teddy bear. Afterwards my father removed the side wheels. At the first, I was scared to ride the cycle with side wheels. But later I managed put both my foot on the pedals. I felt so happy. Today I still love my first bicycle but keep it safe in my house.

Reading well begins with understanding the words on the page. In nearly three decades of teaching literature, I’ve noticed that many readers have been conditioned to jump so quickly to interpretation and evaluation that they often skip the fundamental but essential task of comprehending what the words actually mean. 1.. When I ask students to describe or explain a line or passage, often their first response is to turn their eyes upward in search of a thought or an idea, rather than to look down at the words on the page in front of them where the answer actually lies. 2.and this improves with practice.
Practice makes perfect, but pleasure makes practice more likely, so read something enjoyable. If a book is so agonizing that you avoid reading it, put it down and pick up one that brings you pleasure. Life is too short and books are too plentiful not to. Besides, one can't read well without enjoying reading.
3.A book that requires nothing from you might offer the same distraction as that of a television sitcom, but it is unlikely to provide intellectual, aesthetic (美学的), or spiritual rewards long after the cover is closed. 4.: books with sentences so exquisitely (精妙地) crafted that they must be reread, familiar words used in fresh ways, new words so evocative (唤起情感的) that you are compelled to look them up, and images and ideas so arresting that they return to you for days to come.
Also, read slowly. Speed-reading is not only inferior to deep reading but may bring more harm than benefits. 5.. Worse yet, “peed-reading gives you two things that should never mix superficial knowledge and overconfidence.”
A.This habit of the mind can be seen in the body
B.Therefore, demand books that make demands on you
C.Attending to the words on the page requires deep thinking
D.When you read, you should be faithful to the text and context
E.While reading is fun, not every minute of reading is enjoyable
F.When you read quickly, you aren’t thinking critically or making connections
G.On the other hand, the greatest pleasures are those born of labor and investment
The term modern art sounds like it means art that is popular at the moment, but in fact, modern art is a style that originated over 150 years ago, and includes artists that by now have attained classic status, such as Picasso, Matisse, and Gauguin. And what’s even more ironic (讽刺的) is that the movement they pioneered, considered revolutionary at the time, was inspired largely by an object of a traditional and ancient design.
As far back as the Renaissance, the primary European art movements emphasized conventional representation and adherence (遵循) to classical forms. But that began to change in the late 19th century as artists like Van Gogh and Cezanne expanded the boundaries of painting. Soon, a movement arose that sought to create an entirely new style of art, and one way of doing so was to look beyond Western civilization.
Henri Matisse showed his friend Picasso a mask he had acquired made by the Dan tribe of the Ivory Coast. The mask awoke Picasso’s curiosity, leading him to visit the Trocadero Ethnographic Museum in Paris in 1907. The visit was eye-opening for Picasso, who declared that African masks were what painting was all about. At this time, Picasso had been working on a painting of five naked women in a style that would later come to be known as Cubism. And while three of these ladies show facial features found in ancient Iberian art, a nod to Picasso’s Spanish heritage, the faces of the two on the right closely resemble African masks. Created in 1907 after hundreds of sketches and studies, “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” has been considered the first truly 20th century masterpiece, breaking with many previously held notions in art.
Inspiration from ancient cultures started one of the most revolutionary movements in art history, but were these artists playing the role of explorers or conquerors, stealing ideas and profiting from cultures they considered primitive? Questions like this deserve scrutiny (审查), as artists continue to redefine standards. Perhaps not too long from now, the bold innovations (单新) of modern art will be overturned by a new set of pioneers drawing inspiration from another unlikely source.
