“Color, color, color!” are the words of artist Eric Carle.

Eric is like the king in the world of children’s books. He has written over 70 children’s books. His most famous book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is common on children’s bookshelves all over the world. What most people don’t know is that Eric also makes art for adults, which is called “ArtArt”. People didn’t know about it, because he didn’t show it to the public until he was 84 years old!

Like Eric’s children’s books, his “ArtArt” is full of bright and clear color. He says that he loves color so much because he missed it during the war in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6. When he was 10, World War Ⅱ began. He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted grey, brown or dark green. It was a sad time, and it seemed like there was no color anywhere.

At the end of the war, “when color came back”, Eric explains, “I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more color. Color is a very important part of my work.”

That’s true. Eric paints bright colors on paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues them onto another piece of paper. This method is called collage (拼貼藝術(shù)). In fact, it is what led Eric to his “ArtArt”.

Eric’s “ArtArt” includes large collages as well as paintings, photographs and even costumes (服裝). In all these works, he uses all kinds of colors-everything from purple to light green to orange. Now that’s a lot of color!

1.When did Eric show “ArtArt” to the public?

A. In 1929. B. In 1993. C. In 1997. D. In 2013.

2.Why did Eric feel sad during World War Ⅱ?

A. Because he could hardly see bright color.

B. Because he had to join the army to fight.

C. Because he couldn’t draw very good paintings.

D. Because he lived a very poor life with his parents.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Collage plays an important part in Eric’s book “ArtArt”.

B. Children know little about The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

C. Eric has created more books for adults than for children.

D. Eric moved to Germany with his family when he was 10.

4.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Eric created collages for his books.

B. Eric’s “ArtArt” is popular with people.

C. Eric’s love for color led him to success.

D. Eric is the king in the world of children’s books.

閱讀下面短文并回答問(wèn)題（請(qǐng)注意詞數(shù)要求）。

A little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly vanishing(消失)into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because the wind can fly, but I can’t.”

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸發(fā))into the wind and it can take you across me,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.
