You draw, you paint, or you do sculptures. It doesn’t matter—everyone is an artist!
THE CASE FOR
We look at the Mona Lisa or a Picasso painting, and we say, "That’s art." But what about the amazing graffiti（涂鸦） on your street? What about photographs posted online by our friends? What about your school art display? You worked hard, and it's great. So, is that art? To me, art is anything that’s creative. Of course, I like going to famous museums. But I also like drawing pictures of my friends. I'm not very good, but I'm creative. I'm very interested in it, and my friends like it. Most of all, I like it!
Jane, age 15

THE CASE AGAINST
I like visiting art museums, too. Why? Because I like looking at good art. Art is not the drawings of four-year-old children. It isn't painting your body crazy colors and standing in the street. And it certainly isn’t graffiti. Some people say, "If it's creative and cool, it’s art.” I don t agree. Art is the result of hard work and study. My aunt is an artist. She went to art school for six years. She doesn't make much money, but sometimes her sculptures are on display. Her art is great. Art is very hard, and not many people can do it well.
Kayla, age 16

34. What do Jane and Kayla argue（争辩）about？
A. Whether everyone is an artist. B. Whether children should learn art.
C. Whether artists make much money. D. Whether people like visiting museums.
35. The underlined word "it” in THE CASE FOR refers to .
A. going to famous museums posting B. posting photographs online
C. drawing pictures of friends D. making friends by drawing
36. How can we become artists according to Kayla？
A. Go to art museums from time to time. B. Stay in an art school for six years.
C. Devote ourselves to art study and practice. D. Try to get our sculptures displayed.
C
All about Electric Cars
Electric vehicles(电动车辆) have been around for more than a hundred years. But they have really been liked by a large number of people over the last ten years. More than three million all-electric cars trucks and vans are now on the road worldwide.
Helping the Environment
Most cars run on gasoline(汽油). Burning gasoline and other fossil fuels(矿物燃料) produces greenhouse gases. Electric vehicles don’t burn gasoline. Instead, strong batteries run their electric engines. So, electric vehicles don’t directly produce greenhouse gases.

Poop Power!
Electric vehicles are better for the environment. But they are not perfect. Their batteries often use electricity(电) that was made by burning fossil fuels. But an electric vehicle uses less energy than a vehicle that runs on gasoline. Plus, some of the electricity comes from “greener” sources, such as solar and wind power. And some may soon come from a new source — cow poop(牛粪)! An electric car company has worked together with a large dairy farm. They plan to make electricity using a greenhouse gas from cow poop.
Always Improving
One of the problems for electric vehicles is their limited range. This is how far they can travel before their batteries need another charge(充电). But now their range is improving. Some new electric vehicles can travel almost three times as far as older ones did. Another problem is finding a place to recharge the batteries. But the number of charging stations is going up as well. China now has thousands more charging stations than it did ten years ago. In Sweden, engineers have even designed a road that will charge electric vehicles as they drive along.
37. Which of the following truly describes electric vehicles according to Paragraph 1?
A. Useless. B. Popular. C. Cheap. D. Perfect.
38. What does the picture above show?
A. Parts of an electric car. B. Ways of driving a car.
C. Wheels on an electric car. D. Batteries in an electric car.
39. How does the electric car company plan to make electricity according to Paragraph 3？
A. By burning gasoline. B. By burning fossil fuels.
C. By using a gas coming from cow poop. D. By using solar and wind power.
40. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Reasons for buying new electric cars.
B. Importance of electric cars in our life.
C. Ways to produce more electric vehicles.
D. Problems and improvements of electric vehicles.

“Oh? And what is the reason?" Manningtree asked.
“ I have almost finished the medicine you gave me, " Wayde said. “Have you found out how to make it?”
Again Manningtree laughed. "Oh, yes,” he said. “ I have known how to make it for a long time I knew how to make it when I was at school.”
"What do you mean?” Wayde asked.
“ My dear friend and Prime Minister, " Manningtree said, "the medicine I gave you was just a bottle of distilled water.”
“ But the colour.”
“Oh, I added some coloring.”
“Then, the medicine did me no good, " Wayde said.
