     A four-year-old girl is wowing (博得……称赞) the New York art world with paintings that are drawing comparisons with Jackson Pollock and Wasaily Kandinsky. Marla Olmstead, from Binghampton, in New York state, has been painting since just before she was two years old.
     Using brushes, spatulas, her fingers and even ketchup bottles, she is creating canvases (画布) of six by six foot. The prodigy (神童) has already sold about 25 paintings, raising $ 40,000 and a new exhibition opens this week.
     Father Mark, speaking to reporters while on a trip to New York city to do television interviews, said, “She does her own thing, she uses a lot of paint but is oblivious (不在意) to the whole thing.” He said she had first started painting shortly before her second birthday as her father tried to stop her distracting him from his own amateur art.
     “She went at it with all colors. At first she directed me, and then it evolved to the canvas. I’m her assistant, I hand her the brushes. She doesn’t appreciate that most artists have to wait longer to have an assistant,” he joked.
     Gallery owner Anthony Brunelli said of 10 pieces about to go on show, six were already sold, and that the remaining four could fetch between $8000 ~ 10,000. He said Marla’s work was unbelievable for a child. “Her paintings have bright colors. They’re very expressive in the way the paint is applied.”
     Mr. Brunelli’s assessments of Marla’s future as an adult artist are cautious. But he said, “You never can tell. I’ve seen her progressing over the past year. The four she just did, each one gets better.”

A. four years          B. three years
C. two years               D. one year
37. According to the passage, we know that Marla Olmstead’s painting skills are instructed by ________.
A. herself            B. her father
C. Wassily Kandinsky      D. Jackson Pollock
38. Most people who see Marla Olmstead’s pictures will feel _______.
A. sad               B. dull            
C. angry                 D. happy
39. According to the passage, we can infer that ______.
    A. Marla Olmstead began painting under the influence of her father
    B. Anthony Brunelli is certain about Marla Olmstead’s future
    C. Marla Olmstead is considered the prodigy because of her earned money
    D. Marla Olmstead shocks the New York art world because of her age

China urged Japan yesterday to keep its commitments (承诺) towards the Taiwan question and to handle former Taiwan “president” Lee Teng-hui’s possible visit to the country in the proper way.

     Kong said China has noted the separate speeches of Koizumi and of Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso on forging ties with China and South Korea.
    “And we want to see the Japanese side improve bilateral ties with practical actions,” Kong said. He also vowed that China will continue to develop a friendly Sino-Japanese co-operative relationship on the principle of reviewing history and facing the future.
