   Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up? Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true,but quite a few people actually think in this way. For example,when people choose a major (专业）in college,they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However,there are many examples where people became successful after changing heir careers (职业)later in life.

   J. K. Rowling,writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was actually a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact，she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out.

   Former US President Ronald Reagan began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do political work. This kind of passion finally led him to become president of the United States.

The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh was not a painter from the beginning.    He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.

Careers are always open to change. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find that passion,it’s all a matter of how hard you try.

   What do you see when you look at abstract (抽象的)art? Does it make sense to you? Does it look like anything? Is it supposed to?

  Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint,draw,or sculpt things exactly (确切地)like they looked. They didn’t want their art to be realistic. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours. Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists.

  He painted and drew in many,many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours ( his “ blue period . Later，he used more red and pink colours  (his “ rose period” ) . Many of his other paintings are called “cubist (立体画派）” because they are made of painted squares.   

   After a long time，Picasso’s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using   strange shapes. His work was so original that many of his fellow artists didn’t understand  it.   

   Kangdinsky，another famous artist， used lines， shapes,and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.

Other artists,like the surrealists (超现实主义者），were interested in the subconscious (潜意识）. Painters  like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn’t always clear. Dali，another surrealist artist，painted pictures          that looked like dreams.   

   There are still many abstract artists around the world. It’s often hard to say exactly what their art is 1 about. That’s the way many artists prefer. They want          . each person to look at art and  find their own meaning in it.
