What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success    1  only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements (陈述) are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways    2   not in others.
For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and    3   surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really    4   because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition. Thinking that I might be lucky again, I   5   joining in other art competitions. But the result was that I    6  won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a    7   artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the   8   I produced were not of a very high standard.
These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky    9  , I also need to put in hard work. As we know,    10   makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.

Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find the whole world smiles to you.
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can’t be avoided. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is what we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”
Attitude decided everything. With an optimistic(乐观) attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.

A long time ago, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play with it every day. But time went by, the little boy had    32   and he no longer played around the tree.
　　 One day, the boy came back to the tree. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a    33   I can’t play with you now.” The boy replied, “I need    34   .” “Sorry, I don’t have any. But you can pick all my apples and    35   them.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. He didn’t come back. The tree was sad.
　　 The other day, the boy returned and the tree was so    36   . “Come and play with me.” The tree said. “I need a house for my family. Can you help me?” “You can cut off my branches（枝干）to build your house.”   37   the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy, but the boy didn’t come since then. The tree was lonely again. One hot summer day, the boy came back again after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have    38   for you anymore.
“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am    39   after all these years.” The boy replied. “Good! Please sit down with me and have a rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parents. When we were young, we loved to play with them. But when we grow up, we    40   them, and only come to them when we are41    trouble. You may think that the boy is cruel（残忍）to the tree, but that’s how many of us are treating to our parents.

下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、 D、E 和 F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Lack of stone images also reflects religious belief.
B. Art is a good means to know about people’s faith.
C. Artists express their feelings and opinions in their works.
D. People know more about our culture through learning art history.
E. Art is by all means relevant to history.
F. Art history provides information of different places and people.
小题1:____________________________
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than it is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.
小题2:____________________________
In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors---or of people very different from our own---can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books.
小题3:____________________________
In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects subjective emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros---as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins---depicted（描述）these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.
小题4:____________________________
In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical（圣经的）stories in the pictures on church walls.
小题5:____________________________
By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This shows the Islamic belief that statues are unholy. Something else can be more religiously symbolic in history.
