An interesting experiment (实验) is being done at the Children’s Hospital I in London. Animals, such as dogs, cats, and even horses help sick children to get better.
There are many reasons why this treatment (治疗) is important. Dr. Marcus Finch of the Children’s Hospital said, “Children and teenagers have many cha nges as they are growing up. When they have problems, it is not easy for them to open up any talk. However, when they are with a pet animal, they calm down, relax, and smile. Animals do not speak and so they do not criticize (评论). They listen and they do
not stop the children. Children can talk to animals because they can trust them. Animals know how to keep a secret! Also, the children feel needed because they help to feed the animals and look after them.”
At the Children’s Hospital, you can find children playing with cats, dogs, goats, and riding horses. The doctors just watch and take notes and wonder at the power of pets!

A. The Children’s Hospital
B. better than Doctors
C. An Interesting Story
D. Fun with Animals
C
What do you see when you look at abstract (抽象) art? Does it make sense to you? Does it look like anything?
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things like they looked. They didn’t want their art to be realistic (现实的). They were more interested in basic shapes （基础的造型）and colours.
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his “blue period”). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist (立体画派)” because they are made of painted squares.
After a long time, Picasso’s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original, many his fellow artists didn’t understand it.
Kindinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.
Other artists like the surrealists (超现实主义者), they were interested in the subconscious (潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols (象征) in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn’t always clear. Dai, another artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.
There are still many abstract artists around the world. It's often hard to say what their art is about. That’s the way many artists like better. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.
47. Which would be most like abstract art?
A. a painting of a horse
B. a sculpture(雕塑) of a car
C. a drawing of two people in a coffee house.
D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.
48. What happened to Picasso’s work after a long time?
A. It became more abstract.
B. It became less original.
C. He went from using red colours to using blue colours
D. He only painted with coloured squares
49 . Who is probably the most famous abstract artist?
A. Breton
B. Dali.
C. Picasso
D. Magritte
50. Which of the following is Not true?
A. Picasso painted in many different styles.
B. Dali was interested in dreams.
C. Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning
D. Magritte’s art was full of symbols.

Americans are getting fat. A new study says that most Americans are too fat. Is that true? Look at the people around you. Are most of them fat? Are most of them thin? Or are most of them in between? Many fat people get sick. They die young. Doctors say these people can love longer. They must eat more fruits and vegetables. They must eat less meat and more fish. They must eat less fried food. They must not eat at fast food restaurants. No more Chereseburgers(干酪汉堡包). They muxt eat less bread and less pasta(意大利面食). If they eat less, they will weigh less. But Americans must also exercise. They must walk more. They don’t have to run or jog(慢跑). They don’t have to climb stairs. All they have to do is walk. Just walk 30 minutes a day. Is that hard to do? Eat less. Walk more. Live longer. It sounds easy. But people love to eat. Eating is fun. Food is delicious. So it’s not easy to eat less. Try to do it, though it’s hard to do.

This is a message for Jim Green. My name’s Tony Jackson. I’m sorry I missed your call. I understand that you want some information about the baseball club. The club meets once a week, on Thursday evening. There are sometimes matches on Sunday morning, but those are just for our team players. Our meetings begin at a quarter to eight, and about two and a quarter hours long, so we finish at ten. People like to get home in time for the 10:15 sports program on television. We meet in the hall in Park Lane, behind the High Street. The hall doesn’t have very good heating, it is a little cold in the evening, so you need to bring a sweater to put on afterwards. It’s also quite expensive to rent, so our players pay $12 each week. I hope this answers all your questions and we’ll be very pleased to see you at our next meeting!
