my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once onstage, every word disappeared from my head.
Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator"s (解说者的) part for the play, and asked me to change
roles. Though I didn"t tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked
if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英) popping through the grass in bunches, as
if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one
of the bunches."I think I am going to dig up all these weeds," she said."From now on, we"ll have only roses
in this garden."
"But I like dandelions," I protested. " All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions!"
My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn"t it?" she
asked thoughtfully. I nodded. " And that is true of people, too,"she added.
When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth.
"But you will be a beautiful narrator," she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud
to her.
Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big
day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. "Your mother asked me to give
this to you," she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was
perhapes the only person who would keep such a weed.
B. she lost her interest in that role.
C. she preferred the role of the narrator
D. she had difficulty memorizing her words
B. To enjoy the garden scene
C. to have a talk with her daughter.
D. to hlep her daughter with the play.
B. Everybody has his or her own value in the world.

very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing
classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts
Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles (风格). It was
almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be
with your friends at the swimming pool?
First we had to read about ancient Egyptians (古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then
go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested.
Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We
had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly (鬈曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around
the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn"t see what was so great about art.
On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it,
a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother"s expression
how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn"t stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every
painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could
interest me so much.
B. introduce them to the world of art
C. ask them to read about artists
D. show them different painting styles
B. She liked many paintings.
C. She hardly enjoyed herself.
D. She could understand the pictures of fat babies.
B. She liked many paintings.
C. She hardly enjoyed herself.
D. She could understand the pictures of fat babies.
B. the effect of art
C. the value of learning
D. the power of family education

But then, something 16 happened. The car began changing. First, its color 17 from black to silvery-grey.

As the car 19 into the dark sky, the big red tail-lights grew larger and larger and glowed more and more brightly.
