For many years,artists have flocked to Paris,France,to paint or to learn to paint.Perhaps artists first went there because of the city’s beauty.They went to paint pictures of the broad,tree?lined streets,the great churches,and the graceful river bridges.

The artists felt comfortable in Paris because the people of the city had always enjoyed art.Paris had great art museums,filled with famous paintings and statues from many countries.And the people of Paris had always welcomed new ideas.In this city,artists felt free to experiment with new ways of painting.

As soon as famous artists painted in Paris,students came to learn from them.People came to buy paintings.People called art dealers set up galleries where paintings were bought and sold.Others kept shops that sold artists’paints and supplies.

Students and artists who were not yet famous could live in Paris for very little money.They learned by studying great art in the museums,and they learned from one another.They held art fairs,hanging their paintings outdoors along the streets.

Today,New York City and Florence,Italy,are also famous art centers.But the world’s principal art exhibits are still held in Paris.Important judges of art live there.Most of the new ways of painting that have started in the last hundred years began in Paris.So artists and art dealers still go to Paris because it is the world’s leading art center.

A qualified doctor who rarely practiced but instead devoted his life to writing.He once said: “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover.” Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modern short story.

When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family.After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.

As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less.Chekhov’s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference (冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events.In 1892, he became a full time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.

Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia.Tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.

It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov’s stories and plays.He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters.Chekhov’s work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity(敏感) of an artist.

Some of Chekhov's works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s.One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell, about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.

B

We all know what a brain is.A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head.It controls our body's functions, movements, emotions and thoughts.But a brain can mean so much more.

A brain can also simply be a smart person, If a person is called brainy, she is smart and intelligent.If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, "She's the brains in the family." And if you are the brains behind something you are responsible for developing or organizing something.For example, Bill Gates is the

brains behind Microsoft

Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice.Word experts say the phrase

"brain trust" became popular when Franklin D.Roosevelt first ran for president in

1932, Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U.S.

These professors were called his "brain trust."

These ways we use the word "brain" all make sense.But other ways we use the

word are not so easy to understand.For example, to understand the next brain

expression, you first need to know the word “drain." As a verb to drain means to,

remove something by letting it flow away.So a brain drain may sound like a disease

where the brain flows out the ears.But, brain drain is when a country's most educated people leave their countries to live in another.The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country.

However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it.Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather.It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic.For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new

products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems.

If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean.To brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way.Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.

1.According to the text, if you're the CEO of Bai Du you can be called

A.the brains behind Bai Du

B.Bai Du's brain trust

C.the brain drain of Bai Du

D.the organ of Bai Du

2.Why did Roosevelt successfully win the election?

A.Because he was smart at giving advice.

B.Because word experts were popular.

C.Because he got his brain trust.

D.Because he was the brains behind America.

3.Which of the following expression is always used in a negative way?

A.Brain trust

B.Brain drain

C.Brainstorm

D.Brainwash

阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

After years of study,I have known there are only two types of people in this world:those who get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.

If there were any justice in this world,the early?airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late?airport people would be punished.But the early?airport people get ulcers(溃疡),heart attacks and bite their finger?nails to the bone (急得团团转).The late?airport people are hardly aware that they are flying.

A guy of that kind once said,“Don’t hurry.If you miss your flight,it’s because God didn’t want you to go.”This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.

Early?airport people suffer another“name”.They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫).I know I am an early?airport person for years.My luggage will get on the plane first,which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing.

Another strange thing:No matter how early I showed up,I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat.I figured it was a trick.I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said,“Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today?If he is,give me his seat.”

After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead,I have learned another fact about early?airport people and late?airport people:

They always marry each other.

1.We can learn from the passage that________.

A.late?airport persons often get ulcers or heart attacks

2.The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.

A.someone always plays tricks on the writer

B.the airlines usually fool passengers
