题目内容

【题目】 My dad was in the radio business when I was growing up. He’d get tickets to a lot of different sporting events, and in 1984 we went to Madison Square Garden during Michael Jordan’s rookie season (新秀赛季). My dad took me to see Jordan put on a show.

I remember looking at my dad as an eight-year-old kid and saying, “I want to be Michael Jordan one day.” Dad laughed a bit and then turned to me and said, “Son, I love you, but you’re probably not going to be Michael Jordan.” Then my dad pointed to the man standing next to Jordan at the time, his agent (经纪人) David Falk. My dad explained how Falk worked closely with players, and since then that’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.

Years passed and I became a sports agent. My job is simply to help professional(职业的) players find jobs. No two days are the same, which I find exciting. If it’s in-season, I’m talking to players about how they are feeling and how they’re performing from week to week. During the off-season, I try to make sure players’ lives are managed, so they can focus on (专注于) improving on the field.

Not everyone can be a sports star, but it’s more than possible to work on the business side of sports. I always tell the students I meet to go out of their way to introduce themselves to people. Relationships are so important in this business, and they can take you a long way.

【题目】From Baby’s Doodles (乱涂) to Mother’s Paintings

It all started by accident (偶然) when Eve discovered her mother’s ink pen and loved using it.

Eve’s mother, Ruth is so artistic that she is able to change Eve’s random (随意的) lines into shapes which are easily recognized (辨认). A random curve (曲线) becomes an elephant’s ear, and crooked (弯曲的) lines become the branches of a tree. Nothing seems to escape her eye — she can see and paint the outline of a woman’s face or the hooked nose of a bird where most people would just see meaningless scratches (乱涂乱画).

Since then, the mother and daughter have worked together on several quite attractive pieces. The process begins with Eve using a black ink pen to make her “sketches” (草图). Later, Ruth takes over with her water-colours, quickly turning the doodles into a “grown-up” painting.

“All of the pieces are completed within 30 to 60 minutes, the reason for this is that I don’t want to give myself any room to over analyze (过度分析) or second guess,” Ruth wrote on her blog.

According to Ruth, children can help bring out creativity in adults. “As we get older, we tend to (趋向于) create a box that everything is supposed to fit neatly into. As a child, there is no box. It is just endless freedom to explore any and every possibility of creativity and adventure,” she said. “I feel so blessed that my daughter can remind me once again what it is like to paint like a child.”

【1】What does Eve NOT draw using her mother’s ink pen?

A. The Branches of a tree.B. Crooked lines.

C. Meaningless scratches.D. Random lines.

【2】What’s the process of Eve’s sketches to her mother’s painting?

① Ruth spends within 30-60 minutes turning doodles into a painting.

② Eve uses a black ink pen to make her sketches.

③ Ruth takes over with her water-colours.

A. ③②①B. ①②③C. ②③①D. ②①③

【3】How does Ruth think of children and adults?

A. Children are more creative than adults.

B. Adults are more creative than children.

C. Children tend to over analyze something.

D. Adults explore any possibility of adventure.
