2．Christmas Eve was tomorrow．I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree．It was the only thing I wanted．I had been dropping hints to my parents．I love taking photos．My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom's old camera．I'm always trying to capture （捕捉） those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene，but my camera has always seemed to fall short．
I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning，so I went on a hunt in my mom's room．I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor-a big pink cat．I felt so disappointed．
Mom seemed to notice that，and she tried to cheer me up．"Stacy，I got your present today．I am so excited to surprise you!""I can't wait，"I said．
The next day I couldn't wait any longer．I needed to tell her．
"Mom，may I talk to you for a second？"
"Sure，dear．What do you need to talk about？"she asked．
And so it came-how upset I was that I was getting a cat．
"Stacy，that cat is for your sister Julia!"she said with a smile．
"Then what am I getting？"I asked．
She just smiled．"You'll have to wait and see．"
Next morning，I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree．I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find…
My camera!"Thank you!"I said to both Dad and Mom．
Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia，Mom and me．It has become one of my favorite pictures．Just on that Christmas morning，I took lots of photos with my camera-my little sister making a face，my parents giving me a soft smile-and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me：love．

I wish I can be an excellent cook when I grow up because I enjoy cooking but I want to bring happiness to people who taste my food．
I still remember clearly that happened when I cooked for the first time．I almost had my finger cutting when I cut onions and made a mess of the kitchen．Worse still，the dish I cooked tasted so terribly that I even thought about quitting．Thanks for my mother's encouragement and patient guidance，I continued practicing cook at home whenever I had time．It was then my cooking skills improved gradually．
I'll try my best to learn and improve my cooking skills in order that to make your dream a reality．And I believe I can make it!

19．He is probably the greatest artist of the 20th century．As CBS said，Pablo Picasso （1881-1973）"defined modern art"．
In the past，artists had made paintings look like windows-they painted to make it look like there was depth．You could tell which objects were"close"to you and which objects were"far away"，as if the picture were a window you were looking through．
But Picasso and his colleague Georges Braque （1882-1963）thought that a painting wasn't a window on the world； it was marks and lines on a flat surface．Why should an object be shown only from one perspective？
Their answer was to break up objects into pieces and show all the perspectives．
It was an analytical approach to art，which gave this style of painting its name："analytic cubism（解析立体主义）"．You can take a closer look at these paintings in Shanghai where nearly 100pieces of Picasso's work are on display until Jan 31，2016．
But why did they feel such a need to change things？Well，the world around them was changing．Albert Einstein's theory of relativity was proving what humans knew about time and space to be wrong．And it wasn't only science that was making waves．New political movements like socialism were on the rise．So artists needed to start seeing the world and painting it differently．
A famous and terrifying painting，Guernica （1937）is a picture of the horror caused to the town of Guernica by bombs during the Spanish Civil War （1936-1939）．In the picture，the sky actually falls in．Picasso could not have painted it without the skills he had learned during his cubist period．They had prepared him for showing the town being destroyed．
"Instead of showing objects from one viewpoint，Picasso showed them from many different angles，"said The Huffington Post．
28．What is the article mainly about？C
A．Why Picasso's paintings have a lasting appeal．
B．What inspired Picasso to become a great artist．
C．Picasso's great，revolutionary achievements in art．
D．The background of the birth of Picasso's analytic cubism．
29．What do we know about the painting revolution started by Picasso and Georges Braque？D
A．They painted like there was depth in their paintings．
B．They painted objects that they had broken into pieces．
C．They tried to make their paintings look like windows．
D．They showed the different angles of an object in their paintings．
30．Picasso and Georges Braque started analytic cubism becauseA．
A．they believed art needed to change to follow the changing world
B．they wanted to apply Einstein's theory of relativity to painting
C．Picasso wanted to make waves just like Einstein did
D．new political movements had forced art to change
31．The painting Guernica is mentioned in the 7th paragraph to showD．

14．One of the most popular pets in the world，the Australian tree frog，is originally a native of Australia，though the pet trade has transported it far and wide．It has successfully adapted to New Zealand and the United States．It's one of the largest members of its species and can reach up to 10centimetres in length．Their life spans （寿命） are also longer than most of their frog cousins and can reach between 6to 20years in captivity．In the wild，their lives are smaller due to their natural enemies．
Their skin color ranges between light green and dark green，depending on the temperature of the place where they live and the color of the environment around where they live，as it's supposed to make them difficult to be seen by their natural enemies．They come out only at night to hunt，feed and mate．During the day，they find dark，wet areas to sleep in．They aren't seen at all during the winter．
As the Australian tree frog isn't equipped with teeth，it cannot tear apart its prey （猎物）．It needs to feed on food that can fit in its mouth．Therefore its diet consists of insects，such as spiders，and flies，and small animals，such as other frogs，bats and sometimes even mice．For the smaller prey，they use their sticky tongues to shoot at the close range prey．For larger prey，they attack the prey and force it into their mouths with their hands．They also have some natural enemies that feed on them．
The Australian law protects the tree frog by giving it a protected status The IUCN （International Union for Conservation of Nature），however，gives it a"least concern"status．The broad range of habitats （栖息地） that the frog can survive in and its long life ensure that this frog won't lose population．
This creature is really a very popular pet If you get an Australian green tree frog as a pet，do remember to feed it in proper amounts and let it loose for exercise．
