Vivi Mac, an amazing artist from France, can use nearly any kind of food to create detailed celebrity portraits（名人肖像）．Although she has yet to display her short-lived work of arts in a proper art gallery, Vivi Mac has already made a name for herself online.
We've seen some amazing food artists in the past, but none are quite like this one .Karen Eland is a master coffee painter, Elisabetta Rogai uses wine as her medium(媒介），Kelly McCollam uses food colouring(食用色素）to recreat classic paintings, but the self-taught Vivi Mac can take anything from chewing gum to milk and turn it into a fantastic portrait  When working with liquids, Mac uses a simple plastic straw and her hands to guide the unusual .mediums around a plastic plate which acts as a painting. Just how she manages to capture the finest facial features  is still a mistery  to me, and I've seen videos of her doing it many times，
Vivi Mac has never attended art school. She only used online resources like blogs and facebook to learn the basics of drawing and painting. She started out working with pens and paper, but soon realized drawing wasn't just creative enough for her. She got into speed  painting and body painting, posting videos of her works on You Tube, but it wasn't until she began experimenting with different kinds of foods that her art got serious coverage. Photos and videos of her eatable celebrity portraits, like Bruce Lee in milk  Ice Cube in crushed ice or Amy Winehouse in wine, became popular on the French inter-webs and changed Vivi Mac into an online celebrity.
小題1:What does the underlined word "display" in the first paragraph mean?
A．Exhibit.B．Create.C．Produce.D．Store.
小題2:What is the difference between Vivi Mac and other food artists?
A．She Uses wine as her medium.
B．She is famous for her food website.
C．She turns any kind of food into a portrait
D．She uses spices to recreate classic paintings.
小題3:In which section of a website are we most likely to find the passage？
A．FoodB．ScienceC．ArtD．Health

小題1:A
小題2:C
小題3:C

試題分析：本文介紹了Vivi Mac與其他食物藝術(shù)家的不同之處在于，她可以把任何一種食物變成名人肖像，以及她是如何掌握這門特殊手藝的。
小題1:猜詞題，根據(jù)Although she has yet to display her short-lived work of arts in a proper art gallery,可猜出"display"的意思是展出，故選A。

Standing       the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak       my husband used to love it.       a woman came up beside me.

“My husband       away eight days ago,” I told her, and       to control the sadness in my voice, “Buy him the T-bone steaks. And       every moment you have together.”
     by my words, she placed the steaks in her basket and walked away      . But several minutes later she came towards me again,       a package in her arms. She was       the brightest smile I had ever seen.
As she      , I saw what she held. “These are for you,” she placed three beautiful yellow roses in my hands. I wanted to tell her what the roses       for me, but, unable to speak, only watching her walking away.
Looking down at the roses, I wondered       she knew it. Suddenly the answer seemed so      . I wasn’t alone. There were       many people caring for me and willing to help me. Just be thankful for what you have and who you are.

When Pat Jones finished college, she decided to travel around the world and see as many foreign places as she could while she was young. Pat wanted to visit Latin America first, so she got a job as an English teacher in a school in Bolivia. Pat spoke a little Spanish, so she was able to communicate with her students even when they didn’t know much English.
Once, A sentence she had read somewhere struck her mind: if you dream in a foreign language, you have really mastered it. Pat repeated this sentence to her students and hoped that some day she would dream in Spanish and they would dream in English.

He is talent and charm(魅力) have made him the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world. He played in the grand Beijing Olympic opening ceremony last summer, watched by a TV audience of 5 billion.
Lang Lang, 26, is the first Chinese pianist to play with the world’s top orchestras, making his debut at the Carnegie Hall in New York at 18, while still a student.
Lang Lang’s charm and fondness for sharp clothes make him a natural fit to represent（代表）China’s new international image. According to the British newspaper the Times, “The Lang Lang effect” is responsible for driving 36 million Chinese children to learn the piano.
Now in China children are learning Chopin(肖邦) and Western orchestras are touring Chinese cities, but can China ever export（出口）its own music to the west? Lang is trying. His cooperation with the London Symphony Orchestras this month includes a performance of Dragon Songs, an album of traditional Chinese classics.
Behind the international recognition, however, is a fascinating story of a gifted child. Lang grew up with his father’s own musical ambition and high expectations. It is not hard to imagine how boring it must be to practice the piano every day. Lang said that he once hated his hands and the piano. He injured his right hand six years ago and had to rest. “That was the best month,” he says, without hesitation. “I had a date. I saw a Broadway show and saw Britney Spears in concert.”
小題1:Which of the following is NOT the reason why Lang Lang is the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world?
A．He played in the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony last summer.
B．He has as many as 5 billions fans in China.

A．He has 36 million Chinese students in China.
B．He is touring China giving concerts.
C．He is trying to export Chinese music to western countries.
D．He only played traditional Chinese classics in his cooperation with the London Symphony Orchestra.
小題4:From the last paragraph we can infer _____.

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss, or an insensitive employee       your day?
Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. One day I was in a taxi and we headed        the airport. We were driving in the       lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us.  My taxi driver slammed on his      , slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and       the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car , the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started       at us.
My taxi driver just       and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was        ,so I said，"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck".
He said, “ Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of      , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage        up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on       .  Don’t take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be       .”
So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and        it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said, “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”
Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with      . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s       in your life. See, Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you __     bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you __    them more frequently. So love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you _    it！The odds are against you when a Garbage Truck comes your way, but when you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”，you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by      go of the bad.
Have a Garbage-Free Day！Have a marvelous, garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today       the harvest you reap tomorrow.
