Dear Carol,
How are you? I know it's been months since I wrote you. Since I'm at college, I seem to spend a lot of time reading, and sometimes I'm too tired to write letters. The good news is that I will graduate this July.
It was great to hear that you went on that trip to Singapore. It was great! I've never been to an Asian country. Have you heard anything from that artist you met there? He sounded fun.
My life has not been very exciting, but I did do one thing interesting last week. I went to a Lenine concert with some friends. We got the cheapest seats right at the top, but the acoustics(音效) were really good, so being far away didn't matter. The audience(观众) were a mixture of young people and old fans of the great singer.
Lenine is a Brazilian singer, about 25 years old, with very long hair. His music is a cross between rock and New Age. He does a lot of songs about environmental problems in Brazil, So he uses instruments that sound just like birds singing in the rainforests. He did some solo(独唱) songs and others with his group. He has a fantastic voice. The music was great, but I didn't think much of the lighting, and the setting was too formal for his kind of music.
Well, I must go now, as I have to hand in a paper tomorrow, and I haven't even started it yet!
Best wishes!
Vanessa 根据短文内容，判断句子正（T），误（F）。

Which animals are smart? Your answer may be dogs or elephants. Now one more animal can be added to the list: the sheep.
Scientists said that sheep could be trained to recognize (辨认) familiar (熟悉的) human faces, the BBC reported.
Before testing, scientists let the sheep take a look at the pictures of four famous people, including former (先前的) US President Barack Obama and British actress Emma Watson. Then the sheep went into a room with two computer screens. One screen showed a famous person and the second screen showed a random (随机的) person. The sheep usually walked toward the screen with the famous person.
After discovering the animals’ ability to recognize famous people, scientists gave them a new task. They wanted to see whether the farm animals could correctly recognize the same people from different directions. The animals were still able to recognize them, though they were a bit slower
to recognize the pictures than before.
Finally, the researchers wanted to know if the sheep could recognize their trainers from a photo. Photos of their trainers were shown on screens with some unfamiliar faces. They weren't given any training, but the sheep could recognize their trainers。

The results show that the animals human’s face-recognition abilities are similar to those of monkeys and humans.

Chinese painting, known as “guó huà” in Chinese, is done with no oils but a brush put in colored or black ink on paper or silk. “Landscape painting” and “Bird-and-flower painting’’ are considered the two most popular forms. The first one usually covers “mountains, rivers” and the second one covers “flowers, birds, insects or fishes”. Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums (梅兰竹菊) are good symbols to choose.
Plum blossoms are highly praised for their beauty. And also, Chinese people think they are brave and not afraid of the heavy weather in the cold winter when other flowers wither (凋谢). In addition, they are a symbol of good luck for the coming spring.
Orchids are known for their sweet smell. They’re much loved by people because of a clean and beautiful look. In China, the true friendship is often compared to “the orchid friendship”.
Bamboos can also deal with the cold winter. In the ancient tradition, it was a custom to set off fireworks, which were made of bamboos, to say goodbye to the old and bring peace to the new. So bamboos are used as a symbol of peace and safety in Chinese paintings.
Chrysanthemums bloom (开花) in late fall. No matter how strong the wind is. they don’t drop a petal(花瓣). The ancient poets always used them to describe pure people. The famous poet Tao Yuanming in the Eastern Jin Dynasty described his peaceful life through his best-known poem “While picking chrysanthemums’ neath the Eastern fence, my gaze upon the Southern mountain rests.”
To Chinese, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums not only mean four
plants, but also mean the personality and behavior that Chinese admire. That’s why they are known as “Four Gentlemen” in traditional Chinese art and literature.
