The following 4 famous paintings—from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso'smasterpiece—have stood the test of time.

The Arnolfini Portrait

The Arnolfini Portrait of Jan van Eyck,an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which aman and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly oneof the masterpieces in the National Gallery,London.This painting is as visually interesting as it is

famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-c entury soc iety, through van Eyck's heavy us eof symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business,wives concerned themselves withdomestic duties.

The Starry Night

Vincent Willem van Gogh painted The Starry Night, an oil on canvas (帆布), a moderatelyabstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hills ide village, during his12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence,France between 1889 and 1890.When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collectorin 1941, it was notwell known,but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.

Th e Harv esters

The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. Itdepicts the harvest time which most commonly emerged within the months of August and September.Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned thispainting.The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.

Gu ern ica

Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting,was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter,Pablo Picasso in 1937.The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planesduring the Spanish Civil War.The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result,has come to bean anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at theMuseo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.

Gong Linna, renowned Chinese musician and founder of Chinese New Art Music, put hermusic teaching methods into practice for the first time at the Tracing Roots practice concert andmusic festival of the Affiliated High School of Peking University on May 23.

The first song of the concert,Search High and Low, is an allusion(暗指) to the classical poemLi Sao, “The road ahead will be long. I shall search high and low. ” “It's arranged to be sung byall performers, indicating that we should all search high and low for our roots, ” says Gong.

To explore the education and the popularization of Chinese music, in 2017,Gong established aresearch and development team,which includes ethnomusicologist (民族音乐学家),Du Yaxiong,and music historian, Zhao Zhongming, to deliberate over her music teaching methods andsummarize the vocal skills of Chinese music.

Gong believed that the popularization of Chinese music should rely on primary and secondaryschools rather than music academies. The children's passion for music and their outstandingperformance amazed Gong, “When singing, they are completely lost in the music.Music bringslight and richness to one's world. So, learning to sing is never about passing examinations,but aboutenjoying the music. ”

Lu Yueming, instructor of the school's art center, said, “The children worked really hard andkept Gong's instructions in mind. Seeing their performance, I know that they truly fell in love withtraditional Chinese music. ”

“Seeing the children perform my pieces, I realized I should write more songs for them, ” saidLao Luo,Gong's husband proudly. “It's a great encouragement for me to see how much they likethe songs, and they really need content related to Chinese culture. ”With an international vis ion,Gong will continue to write songs based on Chinese folk music or ancient poems.

Gong said children should learn about the beauty of Chinese music.Only when you know aboutyour own sounds,c an you have cultural c onfidenc e.

Have you ever wondered when dogs first became “man's best friend” and the world'sfavourite pet? If you have then you're not alone.When and where dogs first began livingside-by-side with humans are questions that have caused hot debate among scientists.There are afew hard facts that all agree on.These include that dogs were once wolves and they were the firstanimal to be domesticated(驯养)by humans.They came to life some 15,000 years ago,before thedawn of agriculture.

Beyond that, there is little agreement.The earliest bones found that are unquestionable dogs andnot wolves date from 14,000 years ago. However, 30,000-year-old skulls (头骨) have beendiscovered in France and Belgium that are not pure wolves and that some scientists think could bedogs.

With such puzzling evidence,many scientists are now turning to DNA to find out when andwhere dogs were first domesticated. In one research project, tens of thousands of blood samples havebeen taken from street dogs around the world.The plan is to compare them with those of wolves. It'seven possible to analyse DNA from ancient bones. Tiny pieces of the 30,000-year-old skullsmentioned earlier are now being studied, and another DNA study has already shown that ancientdogs preserved in the Alaskan ice fields evolved(进化)from Asian wolves,not American ones.

Indeed, the ancient DNA may turn out to be more informative than the DNA of living dogs.Because dogs have accompanied humans around the world for thousands of years, their distributionmay tell us very little of their origins.This is why different groups of scientists believe that dogsvariously originated in eastern Asia,Europe or Africa.

But why were the animals domesticated in the first place?The most recent theory is that dogsdomesticated themselves,originally living in and around our ancient villages to eat any food thrownout.Today, this is a way of life still shared by three quarters of a billion unowned dogs worldwide.

28Which statement is generally accepted by scientists studying dogs?

A They originally were used as farm animals.

B They evolved from wolves found in Europe.

C They helped the development of agriculture.

D They were the first animal to be trained by humans.

29Why does the writer mention the 30,000-year-old animals' skulls in Para.2?

A To show that dogs were common in the past.

B To prove that dogs developed from Asian wolves.

C To suggest that dogs may have evolved much earlier.

D To argue that dogs were first kept in France and Belgium.

30 How did scientists determine the origins of the ancient dogs found in Alaska?

A By exam ining the animals'DNA.

B By analyzing the age of their bones.

C By studying the shape of their skulls.

D By comparing them with modern dogs.

31 Why did dogs start living with humans acc ording to the most rec ent theory?

A They were attracted by food.

B They were trapped by humans.

C They couldn't survive in the wild.

D They were trained to protect the villages.

With the duty of saving lives,many medical professionals like Zhang have been working longhours for days,despite their fear and worry.

Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children's Hospital works at a temporary mobile hospital. She doesnot let her parents know that she is now working with 2019- nCoV-infected patients.When herparents ask for a “video chat,Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat withthem instead.

“It's dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible, so that medicalstaff and patients can go back home

US writer Khalil Gibran(18831931) once wrote, “Tenderness and kindness are not signsof weakness and despair, but the manifestations of strength and resolution. ” It's true for themedic al workers.

Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to deadly diseases.But for medical staff, saving

lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front.They may look likeordinary people in daily life,but in these extraordinary times, they are heroes.

Ten-year-old Sam loved to visit his grandfather's house.The house was near the beautiful bluesea.At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with coconuts hanging from them.When thecoconuts fell down, Sam would break them open and drink the coconut juice. Sam liked to playunder the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.

This winter vacation,Sam was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village.There werehardly any trees left.He saw houses built near the sea.People had cut down many palm trees andthere was hardly any greenery left.

Grandpa's house was different.He never allowed his trees to be cut.He hugged each palm treein his courtyard.He also named the two big trees near the front door—one was Petu,and the otherBetu.He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large,massive trees withthick trunks.They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest c oc onuts.

One night,Sam was awakened by a strange sound.He could not sleep.He tossed and turned(翻来覆去) in bed. Suddenly, the ground began shaking as if the earth was splitting.He sat up straightand then ran to Grandpa.He clung(抓紧) to his grandpa.Grandpa cried out, “It's an earthquake!It's an earthquake ” They ran outside the house.They thought that it would be safer there.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring.Peoplewere shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising!The sea is rising ” The villagers startedrunning away from the beach.Sam was dumbstruck(吓呆的)

The waves were rising higher and higher. Sam thought, “How big the waves are ” He wentinto the house again and saw water coming in from all sides.He was scared.
