21、American Visionary Art Museum, Baltimore, USA

Tel:410-244-1900

Ever looked at some artwork in a gallery (no doubt with words of praise printed on the wall) and thought: What's so special about that? I could do that. In fact, I could do better. Well, the American Visionary Art Museum is for you. Grounded in the idea that not all great artists go to art school, the museum focuses on self-taught art, resulting in some of the most inspirational art you'll ever see.

You can't help but wonder how the archaeologists of the future will describe the museum. At first sight, the underwater gallery looks like a rediscovered ancient city.

The museum may also be viewed by glass-bottom boat.

22、Looking up at the celling, Na He Jeon pours porridge into her mouth. She carefully dips the bowl forward, dropping the porridge directly down her throat, careful not to touch the 15 ulcers (溃疡) in her mouth. But it was the week before midterms, so she still had to study. Jeon was 1st out of 330 students on her exams that year. “Thank god I did,” she says. “If I hadn’t done well I would have been regarded as a failure.” At the end of the week, 14-year-old Jeon weighed only 83.6 pounds.

Like Jeon, there are countless numbers of first generation Asian-Americans who make great efforts to go beyond at everything. Yet the children themselves cannot all be put to blame for their efforts. Typically, it is the parents who are designing a life which they see as perfect for their children. One such occurrence is when I was at my hotel in Beijing. It was roughly around 8:00 p.m. when I decided to take a dip in the pool after dinner. I jumped into the pool that was already spotted with a few Chinese children and I hadn’t realized what was going on until I took notice of the parents calling out orders and instructing their children. I saw various children all under the age of 10 taking laps across the poor trying various styles. If a child’s foot was too bent, her parent would demand that he straighten it. If a child was kicking too slowly, his parent would order that he go faster. I couldn’t help but pity the children whose parents were taking the opportunity to give a swimming lesson, rather than just let them enjoy their time during the holiday.

Either because of their parents or their own desire, first-generation Asian-Americans put forth their 110% in order to be accepted into one of the best American colleges. Asian-American students want to see A’s, 100%’s, and perfect scores. According to Jeon. Asians complain that students with a 4.0 GPA and 2400 SAT simply cannot be rejected from top schools. To their disappointment, however, they often are.

The ethic of this aggressive work also exhibits itself via sports and other after-class activities. What sets Asian-Americans apart, however, is that they fight to be excellent in whatever it is that they do. Be it playing the piano or performing in math competitions. Asian-Americans look to be in first place. Often blamed for lacking in creativity. Asian-Americans can actually make up for the absence of imagination with their determination. The average American can dream creative dreams, but that only matters if he or she can make it happen in reality. Asian-Americans, instead, can gather creative ideas to produce something concrete.

Yet with such a drive to succeed, Asian-Americans have somehow twisted their definition of success. Rather than looking at personal achievement, they refer to numbers, statistics and scroes to rate their success. It seems as if desire and the sense of free will are nonexistent in certain Asian-American students as they mercilessly drive themselves to an inevitable burnout. Their desire to be the most-talented is an impossible dream. In a fruitless attempt, they try to be the best in a world already full of winners.

【1】It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that ______.

A．Na He Jeon had to give up the midterm test because of her illness.

B．Na He Jeon complained about the heavy study pressure from parents.

C．Na He Jeon was struggling hard to achieve academic success.

D．Na He Jeon was worrying about negative comments from classmates.

【2】The writer mentions the scene of the swimming children in paragraph 2 to ______.

A．stress parent’s decisive role in driving children to be winners.

B．show parents special skill at instructing children in everything.

C．emphasize children’s painstaking efforts to satisfy their parents.

D．describe children’s determination to face the fierce competition.

【3】According to Asian-Americans, success lies in ______.

A．realizing imaginative and creative ideas

B．achieving individual accomplishment

C．winning scholarships to top schools

D．rising to the top in scores at everything

【4】The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to ______.

A．express sympathy for Asian-American children

B．advocate academic competition among students

C．stress that personal success means more than high scores

D．analyze the problems in school education

24、How to Live a Happy Life

Happiness is what we need most with the increase of pressure in modern life. However, sometimes it seems far away from us. Fortunately, this is not the case. Everyone has the ability to hang on to happiness with his own efforts. The following methods may lead you to long-lasting happiness.

•Take exercise. Other than health benefits that are too numerous to mention, exercise makes you smarter, happier, improves sleep, and makes you feel better about your body. 【1】 Keeping in touch with nature can help you reduce stress, make you more creative, improve your memory and may even make you a better person.

• 【2】 Relationships are worth more than you think. Not feeling socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke(中风) and diabetes(肥胖症)．On the other hand, studies have shown that the longest lived people on the planet all place a strong emphasis on social engagement.

•Challenge yourself. 【3】 Music lessons increase intelligence. Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind. Increasing willpower just takes a little effort each day and it’s more responsible for your success than IQ. Not getting an education or taking advantage of opportunities are two of the things people look back on their lives and regret the most.

•Laugh. Laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and the feet. It can even reduce the effect of pain on the body. Humor is a good way to cause laughter. 【4】

A．Life is always full of hope.

B．Do something kind for the people you care about.

C．Learning another language can keep your mind sharp.

D．It would be better if you take exercise in nature.

E．Spend time with friends and family.
