在西方,做父母的非常了解受父母过度保护的孩子的弱点:这些孩子害怕冒险,缺乏决断力,缺少在现实生活中获得成功的手段; 上大学时,许多人无法较好地适应大学生活的严苛,退学是常有的事。因此,父母非常注重培养孩子独立自主的能力。他们给孩予提供大量的学习独立思考技能的机会,让孩子认识到独立自主的能力可以提升他们在课堂内外的学习效率及表现。此外,他们还给孩子有限的选择,尊重孩子的偏好,帮助孩子出色地完成各项任务,以这种方式鼓励他们独立自主。他们还让孩子参与筹划和决策的过程,让他们提出自己的看法。尤其重要的是,他们鼓励孩子独立完成各项任务一一包括日常家务活,并经
常给予正面的鼓励,避免对他们的行为吹毛求疵。
Task 7
Compared with the childhood of their parents,children now do enjoy a far better material life,but their emotional life scems less satisfying.They are less lik ely to play with their peers,for toys have replaced their
playmates as their most loyal friends.Their parents can always afford to buy them al l kinds of expensive toys.The good thing about this is that
they no longer pester their parents to play with them all day long,
because toys and video games have lessened their feelings of
loneliness.But there are also negative effects; The child's addiction to
toys and video games may cause a eyesight to deteriorate or result in
reluctance to communicate with others.These phenomena should
demand the attention ofboth parents and schools.

Mr and Mrs Wang are a couple and both were my teachers when Iwas in secondary s chool.Mrs Wang taught me English and Mr Wang used to
teach me maths.Because our school was an all-age school,both of
them taught me for about seven years.When I heard about Mr Wang's
deathI was so sorry,I could only guess what that must mean to Mrs
Wang.Iremember the stories Mr Wang would tell in the maths classes,
not always about maths,actually,but about life,and these are the
kinds of things all of us remember now.WhenI was struggling for
one of the exams,Mr Wang took me for a walk round the playing fields.He told meI was good at maths.Me?I couldn't believe he was saying that.In those daysI was getti ng such low marks and felt1was a certain failure."Look," he said,"you've got ability but you don't really believe it.I'm telling you,not only can you pass maths,you can d o very well." Well,I did do well.That comment really helped me to turn the corner an d there was no problem after that.Sometimes apparently small comments are like g old,and Mr Wang had the art of making those https://www.sodocs.net/doc/1151778.html,ments.I alsoremember on e year Mrs Wang
told me that one of my pictures
from the art class had been sent to the city museum for an
exhibition.She was not the art teacher,but her way of telling me
the news was like Mr Wang's
comment,a complete turning point.in the A picture from our small
school ... pained by me ... in the museum ... how could that be?
They two made me believe in museum myselfand gave me a picture
of the wholeness of life and of how to be a better person,not just
suceed at school subjccts.
So I am really grateful to them.I am working hard here and seem to be getting on quite well at university.I thinkI will be a teacher or maybe a writer.

《格尔尼卡》是西班牙艺术家巴勃罗。毕加索1937 年为抗议轰炸西班牙北部一个小村庄而作的一幅巨型壁画。这幅大型壁面高3.49 米,宽7.76 米,展示了暴力和混乱给人和动物带来的苦难以及对建筑物的破坏。令人吃惊的是,整个壁画的色调由灰、黑、白组成,没有用鲜艳的红色来表现血腥的场面,但恐怖的景象却历历在目。画面上的人物并非用写实主义的画法来表现,而是采用立体派和抽象派的画法,但无辜平民惨遭屠杀的惨象却一目了然:一位母亲怀抱死婴,张嘴尖叫,她仰面朝天,伤心欲绝;一位士兵横尺地上,手里还紧握着一把断剑;
另外三个人也都处于震惊和痛苦之中。画面中的动物一一包括匹受伤的马和一只哭泣的鸟一一也都被描绘成这次屠杀的无率受害者。毫无疑问,描绘这些扭曲变形的骇人惨象的目的就是让观众感到震惊。这种对人类悲苦惨状的描绘是对战争的残酷和荒谬的深刻控诉。
Task 7
In the Mogao caves in Dunhuang,the murals with "flying apsaras"are
one ofthe most well-known artefacts.The flying apsaras in the
Dunhuang Grotto Murals are a product of the intermixing of Indian and
Chinese culture.In India,flying cclestial beings called "flying apsaras"
appear mostly in murals in Buddhist caves,while in the Chinese
Daoist tradition,flying cclestial beings are known "flying immortals".
During the Wei,Jin,and Northerm and as Southern dynasties,
when the introduction of Buddhism in China was at an carly stage,
people began to use the term "flying apsaras" to refer to the
flying immortals in the https://www.sodocs.net/doc/1151778.html,ter,with the development of Buddhism
in China,the artstic images of Buddhist flying apsaras and Daoist
flying immortals merged with each other.The flying apsaras in theDunhuang Grotto Murals are a most ingenious creation of ancient Chinese
artists,and a marvel in the history of world art.

number of ways.First,he introduced a new expressive style which

music,especially the symphony.Third,he pushed the possibilities of
solo instruments,such as the piano and the violin, to new limits.
He wrote most of his greatest works when he was deaf.

Writing Task 4
Ifyou are visiting the Chinese Painting Gallery in the Shanghai Museum,
you may find that the sheer number of paintings on view is
overwhelming.Perhaps you havejust a limited amount of time and are
wondering what to try to take in on a brieftour.One solution is to take a
quick look round to get a general impression and then spend more time
withjust a few of the great works on display.In that case,here are my recommendations for three works.
3.
First,from the Tang and Song dynastics,look carefully at he Eight
Noble Monks( 《八高僧故事图》)by Liang Kai to notice the detailed
portrayal ofthe monks in their tasks of sweeping and getting Water from the river,a nd so on,in the landscape.Then,moving on to the Yuan
dynasty,look at another detai led painting Retreat in the Qingbian
Mountain( 《青卞隐居图》)by Wang Meng,where you can trace the
running streams,find the houses far on the left and admire how the
hills make cloud-forms at the top.Now,third, move to the Ming
dynasty for another vertical landscape,Dense Green Cvering
the Spring Mountains( 《春山积翠图》) by Dai Jin (1388-1462);
this is a much simpler landscape with a different feeling for space,
and at the bottom the two small figures walking uphill and the line ofthe trees take our gaze upwards to the misty clouds.
4.
In these three paintings you will noticc changes from one period to another,but perhaps more surprisingly,you will get the feeling that
a strong tradition continues in a similar spirit and feeling for nature.
