It was late n a Thursday evening in Austin, Texas, and I had just finished my shift dwntwn waiting tables. I hpped int my truck and headed away frm the chas t my wn persnal asis, Dan’s Dept. It was n a fur­lane rad that went straight frm the heart f Austin t West Texas. Once, Dan’s Dept had been utside f the city.

My heart drpped. On sme level, I’d been expecting t hear this news fr as lng as I’d been cming t Dan’s Dept. After all, Dan’s Dept was nw sandwiched between a shp selling yga pants t peple wh culd affrd persnal trainers and a luxury furniture stre where even a simple dining chair cst mre than $1,000. Hw culd this little live music jint survive with thse kinds f neighbrs?
“What are yu ging t d with this place? Are yu mving?”I asked.
She shk her head slwly. “I just dn’t knw. Dan and I are nt as yung as we used t be.”
I patted her n the shulder and made my way t the tables near the stage. Memries sprung up in my mind. Mst f my musical ideas came t me while I was watching live shws here at Dan’s Dept. When the sng ended, I gt up and went back t Maude.
“Hw abut I run the new Dan’s Dept?”I asked her. She stared at me, surprised.
“Hear me ut,” I said. “I’ve gt enugh mney t g in with yu and Dan as a third partner. I knw the Texas music scene in and ut, and I can get the best new bands in here every week. We’ll mve it way dwn Suth Cngress Avenue, where it’s still clse enugh t be accessible frm dwntwn but the rent is mre affrdable. And mst imprtantly, this place means a lt t me.”
Maude was still staring at me silently. I began t grw uneasy. Had I ffended her? I started aplgizing. She cut me ff with a huge embrace. “Hney, I think that’s a fantastic idea.”

In the 17th century, the Netherlands experienced a perid f artistic prsperity knwn as the Dutch Glden Age. During this perid, artists fund inspiratin in Nrthern Renaissance painting techniques, cntributing t masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Jhannes Vermeer. Knwn as the “Mna Lisa f the Nrth”, this painting represents the best f Dutch art and it has becme ne f art histry’s mst belved paintings.
Dutch artist Jhannes Vermeer is famus fr his paintings f cntemprary Delft, a city in Hlland where the artist was brn, lived and died. Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer’s mst well­knwn wrk f art. Hwever, it did nt attain internatinal fame at its time f cmpletin. That came abut at the end f the 20th century, when it was featured in a special exhibitin in Washingtn, D．C.
Girl with a Pearl Earring des nt shw a specific persn. Instead, it shws an unknwn girl dressed in grand clthing wh, “like a visin cming frm the darkness,”art histrian Arthur K. Wheelck explained in the Jhannes Vermeer catalgue, “belngs t n specific time r place.”
Vermeer is knwn fr his ability t create shapes and frms using light rather than line. This characteristic apprach t mdeling is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring. First, he wuld “invent”, r create an initial drawing n the canvas. Then, he made a single clred underpainting. Next, he added clr. And, finally, in rder t make the piece extrardinarily bright, he wuld apply a thin layer f glaze t certain parts f the painting.
In additin t its fascinating cntext and appealing beauty, the piece is celebrated fr the mystery that surrunds it. “When yu think abut the Mna Lisa, she is als lking at us, but she isn’t engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting, self­cntained,” Tracy Chevalier, the authr f the New Yrk Times bestselling histrical nvel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, pints ut. “While Girl with a Pearl Earring is right there—there is nthing between her and us. She has this magical quality f being incredibly pen and yet mysterius at the same time—and that is what makes her s appealing.”
What inspired the creatin f Girl with a Pearl Earring?
A．Previus artists’ skills.
B．The appearance f the girl.
C．Vermeer’s internatinal fame.
D．Encuragement frm ther artists.

The ancient Babylnians (巴比伦人)are thught t have been the first peple t set New Year’s reslutins. They made prmises t gds that they wuld return any bjects they had brrwed frm thers. If they did this, then it was said that gds wuld prtect them in the year ahead. Since then, reslutins have changed frm prmises t gds t prmises t urselves and thers. That culd be starting a new hbby, trying t be healthier r learning a new language. Given the difficulties that any peple have in keeping their New Year’s reslutins, thugh, shuld peple wait a little lnger befre deciding what they’ll be? Is January the right time t set New Year’s reslutins?
Yes—it gets the year ff t a gd start. They’re called New Year’s reslutins, nt Half­Year reslutins. The whle pint f setting New Year’s reslutins is that it’s dne at the start f the year. Waiting lnger just defeats the purpse f it. New Year’s reslutins are a fun traditin t discuss with family and friends. Yu wn’t be able t talk abut it in the same way if yu’re all setting them at different times. Besides, the mre yu put it ff, the less likely it is that yu’ll ever decide n what yur reslutins are ging t be. Yu can always set new nes, r change yur gals, but it’s imprtant t start ff with smething. By the time yu’ve decided n sme reslutins, yu’ll have less time t d them—which nly increases yur chances f failure.
N—January isn’t the right time. January is a cld and dark mnth. Why wuld yu want t start smething new then? During the winter mnths, mst peple just want t stay nice and warm indrs, rather than try smething new. Peple shuld make reslutins t lead happier, healthier lives whenever they want, nt just n 1 January. Waiting lnger means that yu’ll have mre time t plan and will have a better idea f what yu want t d in the year ahead. This will result in better reslutins, which have a strnger chance f success. One study fund that by 6 January, ne in five peple had failed t stick t their reslutins. By nt rushing int it, yu’re less likely t get discuraged and give up if yu haven’t succeeded right away.
Nw that yu’ve read a bit mre abut it, tell us what yu think by vting in ur pll at theweekjunir. c. uk/plls.
What can we learn frm Paragraph 1?
A. Babylnians returned t gds what they had brrwed frm them.
B. Babylnians assumed that they wuld be permanently prtected by gds.
C. Reslutins have been shifted int cmmitments t peple rather than gds.
D. Setting New Year’s reslutins in January is better than in any ther mnths.
33. Accrding t Paragraph 2, putting ff setting New Year’s reslutins, yu will______．
A．succeed easily B．end up with nthing
C．dubt the fun traditin D．reach yur ultimate aims
34. What can a rush fr making reslutins lead t?
A．Happier, healthier lives. B．Mre time t make plans.
C．Lsing heart and quitting. D．Failure t make decisins.
35. What is the purpse f the text?
A．T stimulate discussins. B．T build up a traditin.
C．T intrduce a practice. D．T call fr dnatins.

I pulled the car int the garage and gt ut, just like every night fr the past 16 years. The difference was that I wuldn’t have a jb t take in the mrning. I used t be a VP in technlgy fr a natinal bank until it was clsed.
I’d put my heart and sul int my jb. Nt nly did I wrk lng hurs, but I was n call 24 hurs a day, including weekends and hlidays. My kids jked that, thugh they were the teenagers, I was the ne wh was glued t the cellphne and had t be tld nt t text at the dinner table.

If I can’t prvide fr my family, I asked, what gd am I?
A ray f light streamed thrugh the windw, as if beckning(召唤) me. I pened the dr and stepped ut int ur yard. The lawn(草坪), the maple tree planted when I was yung and the flwer beds were verrun with weeds. They needed pruning(修剪)．
Treasure this time. The thught came ut f nwhere. But clear, clear as it culd be, I shk my head. I culdn’t get distracted by randm thughts. The clck was ticking. I needed t get busy finding a new jb.
I went up t the huse. “I’m srry, Dad,” TJ said. “I knw hw much yur jb meant t yu.” His cncern was mirrred in the girls’ faces. Then Michelle added, “It’s ging t be kay. We’ll get thrugh this tgether. Maybe yu shuld cnsider this time as a break. Yu deserve ne.”
