He completed the task in just a few minutes at the show, which was held in Beijing last Saturday. Just imagine the tiny parts that make up a watch. You have to wonder how the disabled man developed such a skill.It was reported that 28-year-old Wang Jianghai lost his arms in an accident when he was five and began learning to repair watches at the age of 17. He has repaired more than 10,000 watches in the past 11 years.What strong self-confidence he must have to overcome the difficulties in getting this skill! What optimism he must have to face the unfairness of his hard life! And what strong determination he must have to go through the hardship in his struggle for a normal life! Such confidence, optimism and willpower are exactly the qualities many physically healthy people lack nowadays. Wang has set a good example for young people.But today's youth seem to be more interested with their TV stars and pop singers but less interested in learning from the examples of working and studying hard to achieve higher goals. . That is undoubtedly the result of the influence of a changing social atmosphere. One must admit that there is a trend towards hedonism in our society. People are increasingly more concerned about material gains than about spiritual pursuits. While adults know they must work hard whatever way they choose to materialize the gains, the younger generation are more likely to seek ease and comforts of their senses.This pleasure-seeking trend provides a huge market for the entertainment industry and the mass media. The media devote excessive too much coverage to anecdotes of pop and TV stars, which in turn fans wider and stronger enthusiasm for entertainment among the public, especially young people.Ours is a developing country. Global competition in the growth of national strength presents a demand for China to be quicker in its development. We cannot afford to lose time. We need to make our economy more powerful. To meet this need, all of us should maintain our tradition of working hard and overcoming difficulties.1. A particular mention made of Wang Jianghai’s story in the first two paragraphs _____.A. serves as a description of the trend todayB. serves as an introduction to the discussionC. shows a disagreement of viewsD. show the popularity of the TV stars and pop singers2. Which of the following is the reason for young people’s increasing interest in entertainment?A. Young people are taught by adults to seek pleasure of senses.B. Young people have given up our traditional value of hard working completelyC. Young people are not interested in learning from the examples of hard working at all.D. Young people are far too much influenced by too much entertainment news in media.3. The underlined word “hedonism” (paragraph 4) means “________”.A. a materialB. spiritual gainsC. thinking pleasure is the most importantD. amusementBEvery artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand-he wants to teach them, and he wan to them to learn from him.What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not word. They seem to fell that a certain selection ofshapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and response: their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is noting more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint a decaying(腐烂的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.4. It is hard to understand a painting because_____A. the artist wants to teach the othersB. a painter uses shapes and colors instead of works.C. the painter doesn’t express his idea well enoughD. the painting is meaningless5.

Why do painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain?A. Because painters cannot express themselves clearly in words.B. Because painters change their into shapes and colors, not words.C. Because people cannot understand painters’ words.D. Because people are not interested in what painters want to tell us.8. Where do most artists take their shapes and colors?A. From natureB. From human bodies in motion and repose.C. From artists’ own imagination.D.
