The best paintings simply take your breath away. Here are some famous paintings you might be interested in.

Our Daily Bread

It was painted in 1886 by Anders Leonard Zorn from Sweden, which depicts （描绘） his mother cooking potatoes for the harvesters. The painting is from his private collection and honors his mother. He was in his mid-20s when he painted it to show how his mother tried hard to support him and the big family. The painting was later bought by National Museum in Stockholm.

Glow of Hope

It is also referred to as Woman with the Lamp. It's a work of art by S. L. Haldankar. This painting was produced in 1945-46. Haldankar had the idea of painting it at an Indian festival Diwali, the festival of lights, when he saw his daughter in a beautiful Indian dress with a candle in one hand and her other hand protecting the flame from the wind.

Dog Lying in the Snow

This popular work was created in 1911 by a Germany-based artist, Franz Marc. The painting features Marc's own Siberian Shepherd named Russi. The dog was lying comfortably in the white snow in January, near the village where he lived. The scene shows a creature in harmony with nature. Portrait of Mari Clasen

It is one of the most famous oil paintings in the world. The Drammen, Norway-based artist Halfdan Johnsen Egedius painted it in 1895. He described the beauty of the Norwegian folk costume-bunad, worn by Mari Clasen, a pretty young woman from South Central Norway. The painting speaks a lot about the beauty and traditions of the country.

I was living in Delta in 2015. There was a man, Boniface, who owned a store which I'd often visited. Gradually we became friends. One day, we talked about the business opportunities in our country at that time, and during the communication, I found the most practical one was starting a barrow （手推车）rental business. Then we talked more on it, and both of us thought there was a strong possibility of succeeding. So we went into the business.

We started as a small business with 6 barrows. The barrow-men gave us 51 cents per day for renting the barrows. It seemed small but later grew and made our life better. But we didn't stop there. That was because when we first started our business, our aim wasn't only to make money. The most valuable thing for us is to touch others' lives positively.

In Nigeria, being a barrow pusher is not a very attractive job. But for people who were poor farmers or young people without jobs, wheelbarrow pushing helps them make a living. It doesn't require much skill. With hard work and vigor, a person can make money daily.

We saw the meaning of this business and then decided to spend money and resources on rebranding （重塑…的形象） barrows. We gave each barrow-man a branded T-shirt to show they belonged to a good brand. We also held small classes for them to educate them on how to make their barrows better transporters and how to be extra polite to people so as to build up a good fame. We marketed them as polite and excellent pushers to attract more customers. These methods worked. They started getting more jobs and earned more. And a number of them even saved up enough to start businesses of their own.

Today, that little business made us millionaires while hiring over 20 people and touching their lives positively. Over 20 families are fed because two Nigerians decided, despite all the difficulties, to do something.

24. What made the author start the barrow rental business?

A. Losing his job.

B. His discussion with a friend.

C. His family's suggestion.

D. Being short of money.

25. Which of the following did the author consider most important in running the business?

A. Hiring more workers.

B. Improving people's lives.

C. Cutting the company's costs.

D. Making customers touched.

26. What does the underlined word "vigor" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Energy.

B. Praise.

C. Creativity.

D. Education.

27. What did the author and his friend do to rebrand the business?

A. They sent the barrow-men to school.

B. They lent money to the barrow-men.

C. They taught the barrow-men to make clothes.

D. They turned the barrow-men into professional pushers.

C

The Banaue Rice Terraces （梯田） in Ifugao Province in the Philippines offer a great sight. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is also rich in history and features how human creativity can produce amazing outcomes. Through hard work, the Ifugao native managed to survive by flattening the mountain's surface layer by layer and using them as farmlands. This practice of more than two thousand years has put together a well-known wonder.

There are several rice terraces in the Ifugao region but the Banaue Rice Terraces are the most popular tourist spot. The photos of this area are often used in printed materials like textbooks magazines and postcards. After getting a good look at the rice terraces, I was reminded of the first time that I saw their pictures in our textbook during my elementary days. I already found them amusing as a kid and seeing their beauty as an adult got me more amazed.

The tourism officer told us that we were lucky to catch them in their greenest form. If you plan to visit this tourist spot as well, you should take note that we got there last June 1. You can also take into consideration that the rice planting cycle is typically 3 to 6 months.

Unlike the other terraces, the local government created a platform that makes it easy for everyone to get a closer look at the rice terraces. The platform has four stone statues that they refer to as rice protectors.

It's sad that the younger generation of Ifugaos are slowly abandoning the rice terraces. According to tour guide Alvin, the part of the rice terraces where people can see thick bushes and trees were former rice fields. But the children who inherited （继承） those decided to give up farming and work in big cities instead. I hope that a new farming method with modern equipment will encourage the Ifugaos to continue their rice terraces farming tradition to protect this cultural treasure.

28. What can be learned about the Banaue RiceTerraces?

A. They are most known for their history.

B. They were made to mainly draw tourists.

C. The locals created them with great wisdom and effort.

D. Many mountains and lakes were turned into farmlands.

29. Why does the author mention his childhood experience?

A. To show the Banaue Rice Terraces are really attractive.

B. To show Ifugao Province is heavily dependent on tourism.

C. To show the Banaue Rice Terraces are more suitable for kids to visit.

D. To show advertisements for the Banaue Rice Terraces spread rapidly.

30. What is Paragraph 3 intended to do?

A. Tell us some facts about rice planting.

B. Encourage more people to go to Ifugao.

C. Raise public awareness of local traditions.

D. Share the proper time to visit the Banaue Rice Terraces.

31. How does the author feel about the future of the Banaue Rice Terraces?

A. Worried.

B. Positive.

C. Confused.

D. Curious.

While family fun is often connected with new and exciting activities, family ieisure（休闲） spent at home may he a better way to find happiness, according to a study. "That may be because when the brain is focused on new information, such as taking part in an unfamiliar activity with unfamiliar people in a new location, less 'brain power' is left to focus on the family relationships, " said lead author Karen Melton.

While research results suggest that all quality time together helps to lead to satisfaction with family life, "all family leisure is not equal, " she said. "The best predictor （预示物） of happiness for families may be spending quality time together in familiar activities inside the home. And that's great news for families who have little time or few resources. "

For the study, researchers followed 1, 502 people in 884 families in the United Kingdom. Each family taking part in the online research had at least one child between the ages of 11 and 15. They answered questions about whether they took part in family leisure in the past year-and if so, what activities （from 16 types） they did, how much time they spent doing them and how frequently they did so.

The study showed that the expression "The family that plays together stays together!" is not always true. "Family members can also express stress and anger as well as pleasure during leisure time. " Melton said. "The activities alone will not heal the wounds of hurting families. "

Melton noted that some studies support the idea that eating together is one of the best predictors of happiness for families, while watching TV is seen as less helpful for people's happiness. But families should question one-size-fits-all ideas. "For some families, quality togetherness is having dinner together or playing games; for others, it may be hobbies, videos, TV or music, " Melton said. "At the end of the day, what matters is that we are social beings who want to belong to a group and have close relationships. "

32. According to the study, which activity may bring the most happiness to a family?

A. Watching a movie at home.

B. Traveling to another city.

C. Climbing a mountain with strangers.

D. Attending a community event with neighbors.

33. What do Karen Melton's words in Paragraph 4 suggest?

A. Family members always argue with each other.

B. Family members sometimes need some time alone.

C. Family leisure makes it hard to share your true feelings.

D. Family leisure can include sharing positive and negative feelings

34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Happy families often take part in creative activities.

B. It is important that family members have common interests.

C. Different families have different ways to spend quality time.

D. It is hard for some families to find the perfect family leisure.

35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Family leisure can do good to your health.

B. Fun at home makes your family happier.

C. How to organize good family activities at home?

D. Why should we spend more time with loved ones?

Aunt Evie had a dollhouse. It had many toys there. Every Friday afternoon, I went to Aunt Evie's home with my parents. The adults would sit around a table in the dining room, eating pie and talking, while I played in the dollhouse for hours.

Sometimes I would pick up these lovely toys and place them in different positions. It was really fun. One time I asked Aunt Evie where she got the toys so that I could buy some, too. To my disappointment, Aunt Evie said that most of them were specially handmade gifts from her friends and couldn't be bought anywhere. One such toy was a little bear, which was my favorite. It was so beautiful that I wanted to own it badly. "If I take it, Aunt Evie may not notice it. " I said to myself.

Therefore, on a Friday afternoon, I attempted to take the little bear away from Aunt Evie's dollhouse. I had to wait until nobody was watching me, 'and it took me hours to get the courage to put the little bear in my pocket. Once I got the little bear, I couldn't wait to go home. I had to hide it somewhere at home, so that no one would know I took it. That night after I went home with my parents, I couldn't go to sleep. "What a bad person I am! I stole something from my loved Aunt Evie. " I thought. When I woke up the next morning, I felt awful, but I couldn't tell my parents, let alone return the little bear to Aunt Evie. I was embarrassed about my behavior. At some point, I started to hate the little bear and myself. And I knew if I didn't do something, I wouldn't get away from those bad feelings.

Possible version:

Paragraph I:

So I decided to tell my mom what I had done. After I told her all the story, I couldn't hold back my tears. "I can't live with myself and what I've done, " I said. My mom shook her head in disappointment. "There's only one way to make this right. You have to return the little bear and apologize to Aunt Evie, " she said. Seized with fright, I stood frozen to the spot, thinking Aunt Evie would hate me. Eventually, with my mom's encouragement, I got up the courage to head for Aunt Evie's home.

Paragraph 2:

My hand was shaking when I rang the doorbell of Aunt Evie's house. She unlocked the door, smiled and looked as if she already knew everything. I presented her with the little bear and made my apologies. "I admire your courage to return the bear. I would like to give it to you as a gift for your honesty. You're always my favorite niece. "Aunt Evie said. On hearing that, I felt a wave of relief. Mom's words rang in my ears, "Honesty is the best policy!"
