11、do you know that you are also creating a work of art? Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself? Probably not. Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍照) on WeChat or QQ, but you probably dont think of the Internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist.But the chief executive o

12、f Londons Saatchi Gallery, Nigel Hurst, thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves have something in common with self-portraits by the great masters. In support of the idea, the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression.It features well-known self-portraits

13、 from artists including Dutch painters Van Gogh (1853-1890) and Rembrandt (16061669). It also has selfies on show that have “quickly become icons of the digital era.” These include one taken by US celebrity(名人) Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minis

14、ter David Cameron, according to the BBCThe gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.Hurst is perhaps not being 100 percent serious. He isnt claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self-image painted by Van Gogh. Bu

15、t he does make a serious point. Once upon a time, it was only artists who could make images of themselves. They were the only ones, as Hurst told The Guardian, who “had the skills, materials and tools to create self-portraits.” Today, however, we “all have that ability through our smartphones.”The p

16、opularity of the selfie rocketed after smartphones started to become widely used. In 2013, Oxford Dictionaries named “selfie” as its word of the year.

While you may

19、find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in y

20、our legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart.Crossing your legs can also lead to

21、neck and back pain. When you sit with your legs crossed, your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic (骨盆的) bones to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.You also might notice that when

22、you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time, your feet and legs get tingly or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other, it causes pressure on the veins (血管) and nerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis i

26、cross our legs any longer.BTo make us aware of the health problems caused by crossing legs.CTo tell us the benefits of sitting with our feet on the floor.DTo show that crossing legs is an extremely common habit.23（8分） When returning to south-western Germany, where my parents live, it is compulsory f

27、or me to go on a hike to connect with nature and reconnect with myself. So, that is exactly what I did the first sunny Sunday back in the beautiful Black Forest. The Huzenbacher See is a tarn in the middle of the northern Black Forest with abundant nature surrounding it. Approaching it after a good

28、hour walk, I saw fascinating blue dragonflies in quantity that attracted us by the way they flew around. They didnt stand still for a photo, as they landed on leaves for a split second. We were also surprised at the yellow water lilies that can be seen floating on its surface between June and July.S

29、itting down at one of the benches surrounding the lake for a picnic was satisfying in two ways. I was aware of the worlds beauty that gave me the energy to continue up the mountain to reach the most amazing view looking over the lake. The other was to really fill myself up in order to continue the a

30、dventure adequately, full up on some snacks and refreshing water from the well.The hike up wasnt as hard as expected and a good path was provided with dirty rocks and slippery stones all under the shade of the tall trees. This took about an hour and a half until reaching the beautiful view of the la

31、ke and land below. Once we had taken in the astonishing views, the walk back down took another hour or so, making the hike a 3-to4-hour round trip, which was well worth it!Simply being back in the Black Forest and having such pleasant hikes is definitely good for the soul and I highly recommend gett

Why does lying cause such anger, pain and worry for parents?Parents are understandably very afraid of their

35、 children getting hurt and getting into trouble, but they have very little protection against these things as they send their kids out into the word. Kids learn from other kids and from external media, and this makes parents feel unsafe because they cant control the information and ideas that their

36、children are exposed to.When your kid lies, you start to see him as “sneaky（卑鄙的）”, especially if he continues to lie to you. You feel that hes going behind your back. You begin to think that your kids are “bad”. Because, certainly, if lying is bad, liars are bad. Its just that simple. Parents need t

37、o make their kids responsible for lying. But the mistake parents make is that they start to blame the kid for lying. Its considered immoral to lie. But when you look at your kid like hes a sneak, its a slippery slope （滑坡谬误）that starts with “You lie” and ends up at “Youre a bad person”.Kids know lyin

38、g is forbidden. But they dont see it as hurtful. So a kid will say, “I know its wrong that I eat a sugar snack when Im not supposed to. But who does it hurt?” “I know its wrong that I trade my dried fruit for a Twinkie. But it doesnt really hurt anybody. I can handle it. Whats the big deal?” Thats w

39、hat the kid sees.So I think that parents have to assume that kids are going to tell them lies, because theyre immature and they dont understand how hurtful these things are. Theyre all drawn to excitement, and theyll all have a tendency to distort(歪曲) the truth because theyre kids.1、Why do parents w

40、orry about their kids and feel unsafe?ANobody trusts their kids in the world because of lying.BLying always causes their kids to get hurt or get into trouble.CTheir kids are exposed to outside world without their control.DThey cant protect their kids from other kids and external media.2、Whats the au

Are they gorgeous birds flying through the air or monkeys jumping through the forest? Do you think of plants? Probably not. After all, plants arent the most exci

43、ting living things in the world. They just sit there and absorb water and nutrients from the soil and the sun. But actually there are also some plants that eat insects and even small animals from time to time. We call these unusual things carnivorous(食肉性) plants. Although most carnivorous plants eat

44、 small insects, larger carnivorous plants in some hot and wet areas have been known to capture rats, birds, and frogs.One carnivorous plant many people are familiar with is the Venus flytrap. Its unique “jaws” will function when flies and other small insects touch it. Once its jaws close on its vict

45、im, it produces a chemical substance that breaks down the insect and absorbs the insects nutrients.There are several other examples of carnivorous plants. For example, some plants can catch insects with their leaves, which are like a tall narrow wineglass, while some trap their victims with sticky t

46、entacles(触手). And some growing in ponds and streams absorb their victims like underwater cleaners. Carnivorous plants tend to grow in areas where the soil is very thin and lacks necessary nutrients. These plants must find other sources for the nutrients they need.Trapping and eating insects allows t

47、hese unique plants to survive. Unfortunately, human and environmental factors continue to threaten the limited environments where you can find wild carnivorous plants.Still for many people, the thought of a plant eating an animal seems very strange. In fact, more than one person has turned the idea

48、into a scary story or movie. Carnivorous plants dont pose any danger to humans, though. Unless youre the size of a tiny insect, you dont have to worry about falling prey to a Venus flytrap.1、What can we learn about the Venus flytrap?AIt produces a special smell to attract insects.BIt is the most imp
