Do We Need Art in Our Lives
No one will be surprised to hear that the arts are under fire in this day and age. We view
the arts as something of a hobby, something that’s fun but certainly can’t pay the rent. If it’s
not a useful skill, no wonder arts funding is being cut in schools. Do we really need art in our
lives?

In
schools,
time
and
money
is
at
a
premium
(
稀有而珍贵
),
now
more
than
ever.
With
teachers having to fit so many lessons into every day, it’s easy to see why art is dropping more
and more by the wayside. Budgets are dropping at an alarming rate, and what school is going
to drop teaching in essential subjects such as math or science when they can drop art instead?

It seems as though the loss of art in daily life is a sad fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be.
There are actually a lot of practical uses for art for many people. For example, art therapy has
helped people with a range of illnesses, both mental and physical, cope with their symptoms.
Art
is
found
almost
anywhere
you
look
in
your
home.
Practical
items,
such
as
bedspreads,
furniture
or
clothing,
are
all
art
forms
in
themselves
and

arouse

emotions
in
the
people
interacting with them.

Art
also
gives
us
insight
into
the
world.
History
tells
us
what
happened
and
when
it
happened, but it can’t tell us how the population at large fel
t about it, which is where art steps
in. We know a lot about how people in the past lived and worked, because their art has given
us such a deep insight into their daily lives. We wouldn’t have that insight without it.

Most of all, we need art in our lives as it gives us a form of self- expression. Being able to
talk about our feelings is essential to staying healthy. You may not think you talk about your
feelings, but you may express them in other ways. Some like to cook or bake, some like to
work on machinery, and others may like to paint or draw. Whatever
you like to do in
your
spare time, you’re probably creating art every day.



So, do we need art in our lives? Many people would say no, but the art they’re thinking of
is
the
art
you
see
in
galleries.
Art
is
actually
much
more
accessible
and
is
truly
needed
in
everyday life. It helps those in need, gives people in the future an idea of what life was like,
and is a vital form of self-expression.




ered as a hobby or fun, art is ignored in schools. Limited time and money is spent
on
essential
subjects.
However,
art
is
very
useful
and
everywhere.
As
therapy,
art
benefits
health. Besides, it enables us to understand the world better. Above all, we often express our
feelings in the form of art. Therefore, art is needed.(57words)

.Summary Writing

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the
passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.






Parents
everywhere
praise
their
kids.
Jenn
Berman,
author
of
The
A
to
Z
Guide
to
Raising
Happy
and
Confident
Kids,
says,
“We’ve
gone
to
the
opposite
extreme
of
a
few
decades ago when parents tended to be more strict.” By giving kids a lot of praise, parents
think they’re building their children’s confidence, when, in fact, in may be just the opposite.
Too much praise can backfire and, when given in a way that’s insincere, make kids afraid to
try
new
things
or
take
a
risk
for
fear
of
not
being
able
to
stay
on
top
where
their
parent’s
praise has put them.






Still,
don’t
go
too
far
in
the
other
direction.
Not
giving
enough
praise
can
be
just
as
damaging as giving too much. Kids will feel like they’re not good enough or that you don’t
care and, as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments.






So
what
is
the
right
amount
of
praise?
Experts
say
that
the
quality
of
praise
is
more
important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome, you
can give it as often as your child
does something that deserves a verbal reward. “We should
especially
recognize
our
children’s
efforts
to
push
themselves
and
work
hard
to
achieve
a

goal,” says Donahue, author of Parenting Without Fear: Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on
What Really Matter
s. “One thing to remember is that it’s the process not the end product that
matters.”






Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team. But if he’s out there every
day and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses.
Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when she has
worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book report. But whatever it is, praise
should be proportionate
(相称的)
to the amount of effort your child has put into it.


tly, contrary to what people did in the past, many parents think highly of their kids
too often. It is not proper to praise children too much, but they can't do the opposite. What
matters
is
not
the
quantity
but
the
quality
of
praise.
Parents
should
praise
their
children
in
promotion to how much effort they make.(57words)

Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of
the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Lower Oxygen Levels Threaten Marine Life
Oxygen
in
the
oceans
is
being
lost
at
an
alarming
rate,
with
“dead
zones”
expanding
rapidly and hundreds more areas showing oxygen dangerously exhausted, putting sharks, tuna,
marlin and other large fish species at particular risk. Dead zones, where oxygen is effectively
absent, have quadrupled(
翻两番
) in extent in the last half-century, and there are also at least
700
areas
where
oxygen
is
at
dangerously
low
levels,
up
from
45
when
research
was
undertaken in the 1960s.

The
reasons
behind
this
environmental
collapse
are
multiple.
Among
all,
pollutants
generated by the industrial world have been the most destructive force to cause the unbalance,
including a rising tide of plastic waste, as well as other pollutants. Seas are about 26% more
acidic
than
in
pre-industrial
times
because
of
absorbing
the
excess
carbon
dioxide
in
the
atmosphere,
according
to
the
Intergovernmental
Panel
on
Climate
Change,
with
damaging

impacts on shellfish in particular.
Low
oxygen
levels
are
also
associated
with
global
heating,
because
the
warmer
water
holds
less
oxygen
and
the
heating
causes
stratification(
分层
),
so
there
is
less
of
the
vital
mixing of oxygen-rich
and oxygen-poor layers. Oceans
are expected to
lose about
3-4% of
their
oxygen
by
the
end
of
this
century,
but
the
impact
will
be
much
greater
in
the
levels
closest to the surface, where many species are concentrated, and in the mid to high latitudes.
Another
major
cause
for
lower
oxygen
is
intensive
farming.
When
excess
artificial
fertilizer from crops, or wastes from the meat industry, runs off the land and into rivers and
seas, it feeds algae(
藻类
) which bloom and then cause oxygen consumption as they die and
decay.
The problem of dead zones has been known about for decades, but little has been done to
tackle it. Now is high time to take actions and help the oceans function better.

Oxygen

Industrial pollutants, especially plastic waste and increased carbon dioxide, are the deadliest

warming
is
another
cause.
Finally
intensive
farming
is
also
to
blame
for
oxygen loss, because its wastes feeds algae, which consumes lots of oxygen. Measures should
be taken to tackle this neglected threat. (59words)

passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

The Zeigarnik Effect
Have
you
ever
found
yourself
thinking
about
a
partially
finished
project
for
school
or

work when you were trying to focus on other things? Or perhaps you wondered what would
happen
next
in
your
favorite
TV
show
or
film
series.
If
you
have,
you’ve
experienced
the
Zeigarnik
effect.
You
tend
to
remember
unfinished
tasks
better
than
finished
tasks.
Knowledge of the Zeigarnik effect can be put into use in everyday life.

The effect is especially well suited for helping overcome procrastination or delaying an
action
to
a
later
time.
We
often
put
off
big
tasks
that
seem
overwhelming.
However,
the
Zeigarnik effect suggests that the key to overcoming procrastination is to just get started. The
first step could be something small and seemingly insignificant. In fact, it’s probably best if
it’s something fairly easy.

The Zeigarnik effect can be useful for students who are studying for an exam. The effect
tells us that breaking up study periods can actually improve recall. So instead of cramming for
an
exam
all
in
one
sitting,
breaks
should
be
scheduled
in
which
the
student
focuses
on
something else. This will cause intrusive
(侵入的)
thoughts, enabling students to rehearse and
consolidate the information that must be remembered, leading to better recall when they take
the exam.

The
Zeigarnik
effect
also
points
to
reasons
why
people
may
experience
mental
health
problems. If an individual leaves important tasks incomplete, the intrusive thoughts that result
can lead to stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and emotional distress. Conversely, completing
a task can give an individual a sense of accomplishment and lead to a feeling of closure that
can improve psychological well - being.

The Zeigarnik effect can actually be used to positively impact your work productivity.


71.
The
Zeigarnik
effect,
the
tendency
to
remember
incomplete
tasks
better
than
complete
ones, is useful in daily life. Firstly, it can keep people from putting off things when they start
with a small step. Besides, it encourages breaks in students’ study, thus improving recall in
exams. Thirdly, it promotes mental health by providing the motivation needed to finish tasks.

passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
People
choose
to
become
entrepreneurs(
创业者)
for
a
wide
variety
of
reasons.
One
important reason is, of course, financial reward. If you own your own business and it becomes
successful, you can reap huge financial rewards. And as an entrepreneur, dependent on how
much
your boss decides to
give
you; ifs limited only by the success of your business. And
speaking
of
bosses,
not
having
a
supervisor
is
another
major
advantage
of
becoming
an
entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurs
are
often
independent
thinkers
who
want
to
be
in
charge
of
projects, rather than having others tell them what to do. They often have big dreams that that
they
want
to
pursue
rather
than
making
someone
else’s
dream
come
true.
For
many
entrepreneurs,
starting
a
business
is
a
way
of
solving
a
problem
or
helping
people
receive
something they need. It’s a way to change the world for the better.

Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy, however, nor is it always fun. Entrepreneurs often have
to
work
long
hours,
especially
early
on
when
they’re
trying
to
get
their
businesses
off
t
he
ground. that’s the reason entrepreneurs need to have a strong work ethic(
伦理
).Employees can
work 40 hours a week and then stop, but for an entrepreneur, there’s no end in sight.

That’s why another feature of successful entrepreneurs is passion; they have
to be excited
about
what
they’re
doing
to
be
willing
to
work
hard
for
it.
Entrepreneurs
also
need
good
communication skills to pass on that passion to others. That’s important for finding investors,
getting people to buy products and attracting employees.
Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problems
they encounter. This is important from the very beginning, when the entrepreneur comes up
with
an
initial
concept
of
a
business.
But
even
after
that
initial
step,
creative
thinking
is
continually necessary to adapt to changing situations and to solve problems that come up.

71. This passage is about the advantages and challenges of starting a business. On one hand, a
boss can get financial rewards and independence avoiding control from others. On the other
hand, a boss must have passion for his own business, good communication skills and creative
thinking, which can help him solve problems. (52words)

Giving Thanks
This is the season for taking the time to reflect on what we're thankful for in life.
Spending
that
time
with
friends
and
family
to
give
thanks
is
what
makes
the
holidays
so
special. But why should we limit it to just a few weeks in the years? Gratitude is a muscle we
should strengthen year-round to make us healthier, happier humans and leaders.
Emmons, through his research, found that grateful people reported feeling healthier,
both mentally and physically. Specifically, those who were grateful were 25 percent happier
than
those
who
weren't.
In
the
workplace,
well-being
is
a
crucial
topic
when
it
comes
to
preventing
employee
burn-out
and
promoting
engagement.
Beyond
the
research
that
shows
that employees who arc shown that they arc appreciated arc more productive by 50 percent,
caring for your employees’ well
-being is simply the right thing to do. Providing programs that
support managing life's everyday challenges, offering fitness classes or implementing flexible
work
schedules
are
just
a
few
things
that,
when
paired
with
gratitude,
can
lead
to
more
productive, engaged and happier working professionals.
Working
in
an
ever- evolving,
fast-paced
industry,
I
am
surrounded
by
ambitious
people who are always striving for more and better. Gratitude challenges yon to reflect in the
moment
instead
of
always
thinking
about
the
future.
It
starts
by
paying
attention
to
what's
going on in your life, and that true self-awareness is a key ingredient to being successful in
your career.
Gratitude
is
a
powerful
tool
for
strengthening
relationships,
both
at
work
and
in
your
personal
life.
People
who
express
their
gratitude
tend
to
be
more
willing
to
forgive
others and therefore able to create long-lasting connections.
The old saying goes “It’s never too late to say you’re sorry,” but the same is true of
gratitude. That’s a gift worth celebrating 365 days a year.


71.

We
should
show
gratitude
year-round
as
it
is
beneficial
to
both
our
personal
and

professional
life.
First,
it
helps
our
physical
and
mental
health
and
makes
us
happier,
thus
promoting production at work. Second, it makes us more self-aware, which can contribute to
career
success.
Lastly,
it
makes
us
more
likely
to
forgive
others
and
helps
build
strong
relationships. (59 words)

passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Online “friends”
-- a threat to development
The impact
of technology
on the nature of our
friendships has
been a much
- debated
topic since the dramatic rise of social networks. Advances in
mobile technology and social
networking
websites
mean
we
spend
more
time
online
than
ever
before.
It
is
therefore
not
surprising that so many psychologists, sociologists, and others are eager to give their thoughts
on how this is impacting negatively on our society.

There is one element of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a
hyper
-
connected
world
where
people
access
social
media
day
and
night,
excited
to
make
announcements about
the tiniest details of their lives.
Research is
starting to
show that this
culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character. Professor Larry D. Rosen
says
that
young
people
who
overuse
social
networking
sites
can
become
ineffective,
and
display anti - social behavior in their offline lives. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect
is
that
one
of
our
most
basic
emotions
seems
to
be
disappearing
--
empathy.
This
is
the
emotion that allows us to see the world from our friends’ points of view. Without it, we are far
less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.

Professor Sherry Turkle suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This
is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without
social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most
complained that they felt cut off from family and friends. And yet being alone is a time when
we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can

make meaningful friendships with others.

These potential changes in our characters are rather alarming, so it is clear that we can’t
neglect those negative impacts of social networks.

71. There is a more and more concern about social networks' negative impact on our society.
As
young
people
are
crazy
about
sharing
life
moments
online,
they
may
develop
bad
characters and lose empathy. Besides. people can't bear being alone, the lack of which makes
them unable to self- reflect. Therefore, more attention should be paid to them. (56 words)

passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Most of us -- even those at the top -- struggle with public - speaking anxiety. When I ask
my clients what makes them nervous, invariably they respond with the same answers: “I don’t
like being watched”, “I don’t like the eyes on me” or “I don’t like being in the spotlight.”

To understand why, we need to go way back to prehistoric times, when humans regarded
eyes watching us as an existential threat. Those eyes were likely predators
(肉食动物)
and
people were terrified of being eaten alive. The bad news is that our brains have transferred the
ancient fear of being watched into public speaking. In other words, public - speaking anxiety
is in our DNA.

Fortunately, there is a solution: human generosity. The key to disarming our panic button
is to turn the focus away from ourselves and toward helping the audience. Studies have shown
that an increase in generosity indeed leads to a decrease in amygdala
(扁桃腺)
activity, which
is responsible for our panic feeling in the brain. When we are kind to others, we overcome the
sense of being under attack and start to feel less nervous.

Admit
tedly, this is hard to do. But it’s absolutely possible to become a generous speaker.
To
