Walk around the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and you may see a green animal named Sluggo and a flying pig named Philomena. You might even see street artist David Zinn drawing them using only sidewalk chalk and charcoal (炭笔)．

At the age of 12, David began working as an artist. His dad was writing a computer instruction and worried that it would be boring to read. So he asked David to draw pictures of turtles (the name of the computer program) to explain it. The publisher liked his drawings, and soon David had the job of drawing more turtles in action.“I learned a great lesson, which was that, to make money as an artist, I couldn't always draw what I wanted，” he says.“I had to figure out how to draw a turtle drinking tea and other things like that.”

David worked for 20 years as a commercial (商业的) artist, but he often felt cooped up (禁锢) sitting at a computer for 10 hours a day. Then, on a sunny afternoon about ten years ago, he brought some chalk and started drawing on the sidewalk. That's when Sluggo came to life.

“One of the reasons I like to put art on the street is to take people by surprise，” he says.“I can have fun drawing, and knowing it will be washed away helps me not think too much. It frees me up.”

It takes David about two hours to complete one drawing. He uses a lot of sidewalk characteristics in his street art.It can be difficult to draw on surfaces that are not flat. He has to notice where shadows will land so they won't destroy the 3D drawings he creates.

Today, more and more people are accepting and looking for his work. David's artwork can also be found across the country and even throughout the world. Photos of his drawings have been shown at many universities and museums.

4．What did David learn from drawing turtles for his father?

 A．Draw in a creative way.　　　　                B．Work hard.　

 C．Draw what you like.                        D．Follow your heart.

5．How does David feel when knowing his drawing will be washed away?

A．Relaxed．   B．Unhappy.     C.  Worried.    D．Surprised.

6．In what way is David's art special?

 A．It shows his real life.               

B．It is drawn on the flat sidewalk.

 C．It needs a very long time to finish a drawing.

D．It is 3D street art created by simple painting tools.

7．What do we know about David's drawings?

 A．They are too difficult to understand.        B．They are becoming popular. 

 C．They are found mainly at museums.        D．They are hardly accepted by adults.

                                       C
If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.

While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.

In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.

Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.

So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.

Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.

As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.

8．The first paragraph is mainly intended to ________.

A．show great respect for the ancient thinker

B．provide some key facts about Confucius

C．attract the readers' interest in the subject

D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations

9．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.

A．try to get high scores in Chinese exams       B．have a great interest in studying Chinese

C．take an active part in Chinese competitions    D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese

10．What is the best title for the passage?

A．Chinese Culture for Westerners         B．Old Thinker with a Big Future

C．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language     D．Forgotten Wisdom in America

11．The passage is likely to appear in ________.

A．a biography   B．a history paper    C．a philosophy textbook   D．a newspaper

D

We often just use our sense of sight, touch, smell, and taste to eat food. But what about our sense of hearing? Does sound also affect our dining experience?

A new report answers, “yes, it does.”

That answer comes from researchers at Brigham Young University and Colorado State University in the United States. They found that hearing is important in the eating experience.

Hearing is often called “the forgotten food sense”, says Ryan Elder. Elder is an assistant professor of marketing at Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Management. He says that if people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it, they might eat less. On the other hand, watching loud television or listening to loud music while eating can hide such noises. And this could lead to overeating.

For the study, the researchers wanted to test whether the sounds of eating—chewing, chomping and crunching(松脆的)—had any effect on how much a person ate. During the experiments, the test subjects wore headphones and listened to noise at either a high or low audio level. Then researchers gave them a crunchy snack: pretzels. The study found that subjects who listened to the higher volume noise ate more pretzels than those with the low audio levels.

Elder says that when hiding I heard sounds of eating, like when you watch television or listen to loud music while eating, we take away the sense of hearing. And this may cause you to eat more than you would normally. The researchers are calling this, the “crunch effect”.

The researchers admit that the effects may not seem like much at one meal. But over a week, a month or a year, all that food can really add up.
12.Which sense is often ignored in the eating experience?
A. Sight.        B. Smell.         C. Hearing.          D. Touch.
13.Who would find this article helpful?
A. People who like watching TV.         B. People who cares about losing weight.

C. People who want to eat healthy food.        D. People who enjoys cooking food .
14. Why the researchers use “pretzels”?
A. They are delicious.              B. They are good for health.
C. They are more available           D. They can make loud noise.

15. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Better Hear Than Eat                B. Be Sensitive to Your Eating habits
C. Be Mindful of Whatever You Eat       D. Want to Lose Weight? Listen to yourself Eat
