When was the last time you did something really fun with one of your parents—just the two of you?
Parents who take their young children to music，swimmin g and art classes often stop arranging such activities once their kids are older and in school all day.But it doesn’t have to be that way.Doing something enjoyable with your kids just might make you look at each other in a whole new way，especially if you do it through a class or an event.When parent and child become students together，it puts them on the same level，at least for a while.
“I really like parents to come to class with their kids—they start sharing things and talking about what they’re doing and what they like，” said art t eacher Pyper Dixon.
However，finding something n ew in common is a big choice for them，especially when kids get involved in sports and other after­school activities.But it’s possible to learn a new skill or hobby together.
That’s certainly true of Lauren,11，from Silver Spring，who is in Dixon’s class with her father，Dennis.“I was just going to drop her off，” Dennis said，“but Dixon persuaded me to stay.”
Now Lauren gets to nag her father about doing his art homework.“He always leaves it to the last minute，” she said.“But then he’ll turn around to do amazing drawings，” she added.“We have different styles of drawing，so it’s interesting to talk it over with him.”
Without the Saturday morning art class，Dennis said，he would be reading the paper，and Lauren would be on her own in her room or on the computer.But they talk more now.“I can’t think of an experience where you communicate with your kid so closely，” he said.
1．The author raises the question at the beginning to________.
A．expect an answer B．criticize some parents
C．in troduce the topic D．support his argument
2．What does Dixon think is the benefit of parent and child studying art together? A．They will become equal.
B．They will communicate more.
C．The child will learn art much better.
D．The parent will learn something new.
3．The underlined word “nag” in the text probably means________.
A．urge B．help
C．ignore D．teach
4．We can learn from the text that________.
A．Lauren used to talk a lot with her father
B．Dennis enjoys studying art with Lauren
C．Lauren dislikes her father’s drawings
D．Dennis likes playing computer games

(2015·辽宁省重点中学协作体三模)
Most artists have a favorite material they like to work with.For 28­year­old Kristen Alice, it happens to be garbage.The eco­friendly designer uses her incredible talent to transform garbage like empty drink bottles and candy wrappers into charming dresses that sell for thousands of dollars.
Kristen says the idea came to her after she saw how much waste she and her three college roommates generated on a daily basis.The Fine Arts student began to dream about transforming the deserted bags and packages into beautiful garments.
Her first dress made from plastic bags and rolled magazines was strange, fun and even charming.However, she only made it to test her creativity.
The young designer did not consider starting a commercial venture(企业)until she spent a week working at Couture Fashion Week in New York City.There she observed the excitement generated by new and vintage(复古的)looks and decided to see if her unusual idea would result in as much enthusiasm.She began by creating a line of 12 garbage­inspired dresses.They were a huge success.
Today her company that has offices in Palm Beach, Florida and New York City, produces a wide variety of dresses ranging from cocktail dresses to ball gowns (礼服)．Kristen, of course, doesn't search garbage cans for her material anymore.Instead, she seeks it from companies that have produced more than they need and are planning to throw away the extras.
However, if you think the garbage­inspired dresses come cheap, think again.The price for ready­made creations retails(零售)from $500 to $1,500.Though that may appear expensive, the designer says she has no shortage of customers.In fact she now even has garbage­inspired clothing for men that includes jackets,ties, trousers and even board shorts! While most of the clothes are strong enough to resist multiple wears, whether they can be cleaned is a little unclear.

【2016高考训练】
Maybe you don’t think animals have certain mental powers which human beings do not have. But the truth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.
Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run whining into his house and hide under a table.
I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home.
When I was about two hundred metres from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened me. Howard stopped walking and began whining. Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!
1. The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that .
A. Howard had a strange behavior
B. Howard should be afraid of the metal poles
C. Howard should know the approaching of the terrible lightning

B. It was destroyed in a rainy day.
C. Its roof was supported by wood poles.
D. It could produce blinding flash of lightning.
