The story and the character alone cannot make a novel yet. To make a novel, a plot (情节) should be designed first, even b___61___ anything else is considered.
Let’s take a look at this e___62___ provided by E. M. Forster. And it will surely help to tell the d___63___ between “story” and “plot”. “The king died and then the queen died” is not a plot, b___64___ a story. If we make it “The king died and then queen died of sadness,” we have a plot. The expression “of sadness” shows how we u___65___ an event and its relationship with other events. It also shows how we make events h___66___ according to our thoughts.
Different from the r___67___ world, the world of fiction is created by the writer. The very word “plot” often covers the w___68___ own thoughts and ideas. That is to say, the purpose of creating a plot is to make readers clear about how each event is c___69___ and how the writer thinks. A plot is also called a story line. If a writer wants to create a traditional plot, the most i__70__ is that it should be a complete and unified (统一的) action, that is something with a beginning, a middle and an end.

The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist. The problem he has is how to r___71___ an artist once he grows up.”
This is both encouraging and discouraging. The fact that we were all born to be artists is certainly e___72___, and yet the reality has proven that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed.
Fortunately, some people have seen the problem and want to s___73___ it.
Western educators have suggested that we introduce the concept of “STEAM” i___74___of “STEM”—traditional “core majors” including science, technology, engineering, and math—since the “A”, which stands for “arts”, is just as important.
And on April 11, China’s Ministry of Education issued a guideline. Colleges and universities are r___75___ to provide more art-related courses and students need to earn a certain number of art credits in order to graduate.
These efforts came after many scientific studies had found that art education helps students d___76___ self-confidence and teamwork skills, as well as habits of mind such as problem solving and critical thinking, a___77___ to The Washington Post.
It’s true that none of these skills targets specific jobs. But as former US ballet dancer Damian Woetzel told The Atlantic, the p___78___ of art is “to give kids the tools to become adults who are creative, adaptable, and expressive—capable of having their eyes and ears and senses alive”.
And we can now see how we lost track of our born “artist self” on our w___79___ to growing up: We failed to keep our capabilities to see, hear and feel, and became blind, deaf and insensitive adults. Hopefully, art education can help t____80____ things around.
