The entire house was lit with lights. It was Meera’s wedding the next day. Seema walked to her daughter's bedroom. Meera was not there, so she left the envelope on Meera’s bed and went away. When Meera came back after a bath downstairs, her eyes fell on the envelope. She picked it up and opened it Sitting on the bed, she started to read it：

My darling daughter, I’m so happy for My darling is getting marked! To such a good man! At the same time, I’m a little worried, too. The reason? You’re going to a new house where everything is going to be new: the people, relationships and surroundings. Yes, you’re smart and Vinod will be there with you to help, but I have a few things to say:

Accept Vinous parents as your parents. Remember that your mother-in-law will have her own understanding about you. So it’s up to you give her a good impression.

Earn respect from family members. If that means changing yourself a little bit and adapting to their customs, just do it. It will help you to settle into your new home.

Never compare your mothers home and their home. It may not be appreciated.

The kitchen is one place where small fights can appear. Ifs your mother-in-law s kingdom, so ask her permission if you want to cook something. If she offers help, accept it. This Ml help in building trust between you. Similarly, offer her your help when she s busy cooking. Thus, a new relationship -will be born: one of respect and understanding.

Finally, respect your husband, as he's your life partner. Remember that a marriage re-quires trust, love and compromise (妥协).

I could have sat with you and told you, but I felt that writing all this down would make you understand better and I’m sure you’ll give your whole heart to this relationship. Remember that both Papa and I are here for you always.

Love,

Street dances are dance styles that evolved (演变) outside of dance studios in any available open space. They are often improvisational (即兴的) and social in nature，encouraging interaction and contact with audiences and the other dancers. These dances generally evolve out of urban and suburban spaces and are a part of the native culture of that geographical area. Some examples of street dances include B-boying, or breakdancing, which originated in New York City, and Melbourne Shuffle which originated in Melbourne, Australia.

Street dances are dances that evolve between people in a social environment，although it cannot be always determined as to how they actually do evolve between people. In theory, as one person comes up with a move that looks good to another person, that other person tries to copy that move. Similar to the game of Chinese Whispers, the effect is that the other person cannot absolutely perform that move the same way as the other person, thus leading to the dancer creating their own style or entirely new moves.

There is a small difference between entirely freestyle dance and an absolute street dance. While freestyle dance is random and a personal dance invented by a single person (even if ifs based on someone else’s dance style), a full street dance is a collection of the various similar dance moves and styles collected into one practice and regarded as the same dance. For example, when B-boying evolved out of early hip-hop culture, people came up with their own moves, and other people improved them. Street dances constantly evolve for as long as they are now and then practiced and regarded as the same dance. All the moves danced to breaks in hip-hop culture were regarded as B-boying.

Sometimes it is possible to trace back street dance styles that were mostly pioneered by specific persons. One example is Locking, which is often regarded as being started by Don Campbell, who was a 1970s pioneer of American street dance. Most of the time it is impossible to owe street dances to specific people; since the dances evolve outside of professional dance environments, and there is no social or legal record. Street dance pioneers also rarely have professional degrees in dance, thus distinguishing street dance from other modern dance forms.

Augusto Esquivel is a sculptor who, in his own words, is “crazy with comparisons of reality and potential and the balance between them.” Perhaps the best example of what he’s talking about are his most famous creations: the suspended(悬挂的) button sculptures.

Made entirely from buttons hanging on various lengths of string, Esquivel’s sculptures are made to look like common objects: a piano, a gumball machine, and even a toilet. If it wasn’t for the clear string hanging above, these objects, these sculptures, would look solid, yet you can put your hands right through them. The process starts with him deciding on a subject and setting the acrylic （丙烯酸树脂）from where the buttons are being suspended. He buys buttons of different shapes and sizes, paints them with spray paint, and carefully hangs them. After that, it’s a manner of hanging each individual button, which takes a lot of time. For his piano, for example, he individually hung over 60 pounds worth of tiny buttons.

Esquivel’s sculptures, while mostly housed inside art galleries, perfectly capture one of the main principles of street art: something that is eye-catching and something that invites interaction. Often the best sculptures outside the art galleries aren’t the ones behind guards and fencing, but the ones people can go right up to and touch. In Vancouver, a series of laughing old men are attracting people for pictures and to just generally hang around, but the people who simply walk by and see the sculptures almost always leave with a smile on their face. That’s good street art: it draws the viewer in rather than relying on a gallery to draw in an audience and point them to certain pieces.

Esquivel’s art is not only a presentation of talent, something that mentions larger philosophical questions, like the ones he stated above, but also just the right combination of interesting idea and painstaking work. One can look at his work in a critical way, or simply appreciate his idea and execution(艺术品的制作).

1.What are Esquivel’s sculptures mainly made of?

A. Clay.

B. Iron.

C. Gum.

D. Buttons.

2.Which statement is WRONG according to Paragraph 3?

A. Some of Esquivel’s sculptures are displayed outside art galleries.

B. Esquivel’s art is good street art.

C. People can’t touch Esquivel’s sculptures involve interaction.

D. Esquivel’s sculptures can catch people’s eye and involve interaction.

3.Which of the following in NOT what Esquivel’s art wants to present?

A. Talent.
