  Art is for everyone. Parents can help kids appreciate art by making it available for them. Unfortunately, many adults do not enjoy art simply because they do not understand the stories or context (背景). Actually, children can appreciate art as well as any adult. Here are some simple ways to encourage children to appreciate art.
Find art that will allow children to easily make a connection with their lives. Choose the material according to their ages. Pictures and sculptures of children, for example, or dogs and cats are easily understood, and it is easy to start a conversation about how the themes in the art are connected with familiar people and animals in kids’ lives. Music and dance are very important to children and should also be used.
Explore the stories behind famous, and not so famous, art. Encourage children to make up their own stories about paintings and then research the real story behind the paintings.
Create art with children. Teach them that art is not something that they must only observe but something that they can create. Discuss art with children. Encourage them to express their views on art. Let them know that it is okay to dislike something, and listen to their preferences when planning events.
Visit museums and performances. Explore the artwork in local museums that will interest them. Most cities have children’s theaters and music groups, and often free performances are offered. Many art museums have special tours for children.
Through a variety of artistic experiences, kids will learn how to appreciate art and will enjoy it.

Doomed beauties such as Cleopatra and Manilyn Monroe were far from alone in their misery. Very attractive people tend to form partnerships that are less stable and satisfying than those enjoyed by plain Janes.
According to research by Dr John Blaine of the University of Southern California, relationships between people whose professions largely depend on their appearances, such as models or actors, tend to end much faster than those between lawyers, doctors or students.
Blaine said the beautiful felt different from childhood. They are treated as special, which may create both arrogance(傲慢) and insecurity. All too often, beauty can be used as an alternative to education. Often they are pushed out of their class or town, told to go off and make their fortune in Hollywood or London and, when the majority fail, they have few talents(才能) to make a living.
Blaine added that beautiful people score poorly on the “big five” — the key factors American experts consider when helping distressed couples. These are neuroticism(神经过敏), including anger and anxiety; extroversion(性格外向); openness to new experiences; agreeableness; and conscientiousness, or sticking by agreements they have made. Attractive people often see no reason to try to change until their looks start to fade.
Krista Sutherland, of the University of California Los Angeles, said partnerships that appeared to be perfect from the outside, such as the former “dream teams” of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise or Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, where backgrounds and aspirations(抱负) are often shared, did not necessarily lead to happiness.
小题1:What does the underlined sentence “Doomed beauties such as Cleopatra and Manilyn Monroe were far from alone in their misery. ” means?
A.Beautiful women always felt lonely.
B.Beautiful women always were alone.
C.Many beautiful women didn’t end up with a happy life.
D.Beautiful women always lived a happy life.
小题2:The underlined phrase “plain Janes” in the passage refer to ________.
A.ordinary-looking womenB.women called Jane
C.common peopleD.attractive women
小题3:We can infer in the passage that ________.
A.Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley were a couple
B.Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were very satisfied with their life
C.When they fail in Hollywood, the beautiful have little trouble in making a living
D.The marriage of the beautiful often last long
小题4:Which of the following is the best title?
A.Five key factors affecting the partnershipB.Beauties are doomed to fail in love
C.Beauties or common?D.The beautiful are different.

Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North America but also an extremely serious problem in some developing countries. For these countries, economic growth is a very important aim. They want to introduce industries, and so they put few controls on the industries which cause pollution.
Cubatao, an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil, is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution. In 1954, Cubatao had no industry. Today it has more than twenty large factories, which produce many pollutants(污染物). The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matter in their environment and the bad effects can be clearly seen. Birth shortcomings are extremely common. Among children and adults, lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cubatao than in other places.
It is true that Brazil, like many other countries, has laws against pollution, but these laws are not enforced strictly enough. It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines(罚款) than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution. It is clear, therefore, that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers. However, the responsibility(责任) does not completely lie with the Brazilian government. The example of Cubatao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way either. A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France, Italy, and the U. S. They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home. If they caused the same amount of pollution at home, they would be severely(严厉地) punished or even put out of business.
小题1:Why don’t developing countries have strict pollution controls?
A.The new industries they want to introduce do not cause much pollution.
B.Pollution is not a serious problem for developing countries.
C.They don’t realize the balance of nature will be destroyed by some pollutants.
D.If they put stricter controls on industry, fewer companies would build new plants in developing countries.
小题2:What is the author’s purpose in taking Cubatao as an example?
A.To show that industry can develop very fast in developing countries.
B.To show that the pollution problem in Brazil is extremely serious.
C.To show that industrial growth can cause pollution problems for developing countries.
D.To show that pollution is killing many people and destroying the whole economy of Brazil.
小题3: How is the health of the population of Cubatao?
A.There are more heart diseases among people who live near chemical factories.
B.More people suffer from lung diseases because of poisonous matter.
C.Their health is affected by pollutants the same way as that of other Brazilians.
D.Babies there are found not as bright as those who live in other places.
小题4:Why do some foreign companies like to set up their plants in Brazil?
A.The investment(投资) environment in Brazil is suitable for them.
B.They will not be severely punished if they cause pollution in Brazil.
C.They can make much money because they do not have to pay Brazilian workers much.
D.They can act in an irresponsible(不负责任的) way in Brazil because there are no pollution laws there.

Right is right. Right? Of course. But is left wrong? Well, the Romans used to think so. They thought left-handed people were mistakes of nature. Latin, the language of the Romans, had many words that expressed this view. Some words we use today still have this meaning. The Latin word “dexter” means “right”. The English word “dexterous” comes from this word. It means “handy” (clever with hands). So, right is handy. But the Latin word for left is “sinister”. The English word “sinister” comes from this word. Sinister means “evil” (very bad). Is it fair to call right-handed people handy and left-handed people evil? Well, fair or not, many languages have words that express such beliefs. In old English, the word for left means “weak”. That isn’t much of an improvement over “evil”.
Not very long ago, children were often forced to write with their right hands. Doctors have since found that this can be very harmful. You should use the hand you were born to use.
People who use their left hands are just starting to get better treatment. But why they get all these bad names in the first place? One reason may be that there are not as many left-handed people as there are right-handed people. There is one left-handed person for every five right-handed ones. People who are different are often thought to be wrong. But attitudes do seem to be changing. Fair-minded right-handed people are finally starting to give left-handed people a hand.
小题1:What does the passage lead us to believe when one writes?
A.He can only use his right hand.
B.He can only use his left hand.
C.He can use either his left hand or his right hand.

D.Fair-minded right-handed people are starting to give up using their left hands
小题3: After we read the article we can certainly know that _______.
A.left-handed people have been treated poorly
B.the number of the left-handed people is larger than that of right-handed people

D.“Dexterous” comes from Latin, means “evil” and English “sinister” means “handy”.

  More than 6000 children were expelled(开除)from US schools last year for bringing  guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8. 
The department gave a report on the expulsions (开除)as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6093 expulsions in 2005—2006, against 7 percent for rifles(步枪)or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms.
