15.While many Chinese overseas artists are switching to other more profitable fields,Huang Shanye,a painter of the Zhuang ethnic group,stands out as an exception.His art has gradually earned him fame over the course of his more than 20 years in the United States.He was even able to leave behind his steady job as an art teacher and fully devote himself to what he describes as a pursuit(追求) of beauty.
The common theme of Huang's many works lies in the combination of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques."I apply Chinese calligraphy(书法),paper cutting,facial makeup of Peking Opera--all the things that I can find in traditional Chinese culture--to Western oil painting,"Huang said at an exhibition held recently in his home county of Montgomery,Maryland in the US,where friends and neighbors had come to view some of his work.
One of Huang's works in the show,which had been featured on the exhibition's flier(广告传单),served as a good example.Titled In Harmony,the painting shows two green dragons facing one another on a golden plate--a characteristic of Chinese tradition.Huang decorated the surface with the words"peace"and"dragon",both in Chinese and in English.Michele Cohen,director of the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery,pointing to Huang's In Harmony,says:"I think this work really shows how an artist can combine one tradition with another,and it really comes out in a mixed form."
In 1998,American composer Silas Huff met Huang at an exhibition and was moved by Huang's sketch Tapestry of Dreams,which was later realized into a large-scale work consisting of a dozen 1-by-1-meter panels of paintings describing the traditions and longings of Huang's people.
Inspired by the work,Huff composed a 25-minute symphony(交响乐),Spring Song Festival,made up of Chinese folk melodies.Ten years later when Huff and Huang reconnected,Huff was able to bring two ballet schools on board and create a ballet based on the symphony.The work was performed at LaGuardia Performing Art Center in New York in the spring of 2009,with Huang's Tapestry of Dreams as a background.

B.The difference between traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques.

5.When we talk about a library,we may think of shelves and shelves lined with books.But a new library set to open this fall in Texas won't have any books----at least not the kind you can leaf through..
There will be 10,000 digital books available for loan(借出)in the BiblioTech library in Bexar County,Texas.About 1.7 million county residents will be able to check out the books online without leaving their homes.The library will also provide 100 e-readers for people to borrow.In the library,people can work,study and access the Internet using dozens of computer stations.
"We wanted to find a cheap,effective way to bring reading and learning to the county and also focus on the change in the world of technology,"Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff,the man who started the project,told reporters.
Digital-only academic libraries already exist in the US.The University of Texas at San Antonio opened the first in 2010,and officials say it's been a success.Many public libraries even offer digital books in addition to paper copies.But Biblio Tech will be the country's first completely paperless public library system.Tucson,Arizona,and Newport Beach,California,attempted to open bookless public libraries in 2002 and 2011,respectively,but both ended up offering paper books after public outcry.
However,Residents of Tucson and Newport Beach lived close to libraries and could easily get to them.Many areas of Bexar County,on the other hand,lack public libraries,so residents don't have easy access to books.Wolff hopes Biblio Tech will solvethat problem.
Critics argue against digital-only libraries,saying many people prefer to see and hold actual books.Some say books with pictures,such as children's books and how-to books,work better than digital books.Others say people who aren't comfortable with technology won't be able to use the paperless libraries.They also point out that many digital books are not available for libraries to purchase for their collections.
But supporters of digital libraries say these institutions will make books available to more people,like the residents of Bexar County.Wolff himself,who collects print books,says he doesn't intend paperless libraries to replace traditional ones,but to exist alongside them."People are always going to want books,"he says."But the world is changing."
71.Wolff hopes to open more paperless libraries across the country,if Biblio Tech succeeds.What do we know about the Biblio Tech library?C

B.It will provide about 1.7 million digital books for the readers.

10.Let us suppose it is now about A.D.2060.Let's make believe it is about sixty years from now.Of course,things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day.It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.At a number of scenic spots on the moon,many hotels have been built,the hotels are air--conditioned,naturally.So that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon.Every room has at least one picture window.Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.
What are people eating now?People are still eating food.They haven't yet started to take on their supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power.They may be some day.But many foods now come in pill form,and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,most of our planet's surface has to be filled.The deserts are irrigated with water.Crops are no longer destroyed by pests.The harvest is always good.
Farming,of course,is very highly developed.Very few people have to work on the farm.It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians.You see,as the number of people increased,the number of animals decreased.Therefore,the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier in both our bodies and our minds,too,and we know the causes and cure of diseases and pain,and it is possible to get rid of disease.No one has to be ill any more.

5.When I was growing up,I dreamed about becoming a cowgirl,a spy or a great actress.Not a dentist,like my father,or a homemaker,like my mother-certainly not a writer,although I always loved to read.I didn't know anything abut writers,even though I loved to make up stories inside my head.
I made up stories while I bounced (反弹) a ball against the side of our house.I made up stories playing with paper dolls.And I made them up while I practiced the piano,by pretending to give piano lessons.I always had an active imagination.But I never wrote down any of my stories.
When I grew up,my need for story telling didn't go away.So when my own two children started pre-school I began to write and I've been writing ever since!My characters live inside my head for a long time before I actually start to write a book about them.Then,they become so real to me that I talk about them at the dinner table as if they were real.Some people consider this weird.But my family understand.
Many of my books are set in New Jersey because that's where I was born and raised.I lived there until my kids finished elementary school.Then we moved to New Mexico,the setting for Tiger Eyes.I also spent two years in Connecticut,where Just As Long As We're Together and Here's To You,Rachel Robinson are set.I don't think I could set a book in a place without knowing it really well.
Now I live in New York City with my husband,George Cooper.Between us we have three grown children and one grandchild.Our lives are busy,sometimes too much so,but never dull.And yes,I'm still writing.
