一、阅读理解
(2022·浙江湖州高三模拟考试)I love to study art history and develop my skill at creating art. But I work fulltime as a recovery doctor, so I have the chance to use art as expression and healing(治愈). For almost six years, I have been rolling my “Art Cart(推车)” that I built down the halls of the hospital, where I make the young patients who are receiving terrible medical treatment create art.
On these visits, I bring my art cart filled with everything from colored pencils to markers and more. I want to act as an “Artist Buddy” to bring kids some relief while they are waiting for or receiving treatment.
When I began doing this, at first the parents were a bit leery and showed little interest in it. But now they are excited to see the benefits of art expression and the way it lifts the children spirits. It gives them a sense of achievement and selfcontrol, and helps lift their souls in their situation. And time after time, the parents themselves create art which gives them relief from the stresses of seeing their children in a most difficult situation. Besides, I just love being there. This work keeps me gratefully balanced and has a great effect on my mood.
This is a great chance that allows me to go down there and be a part of those kids' treatment. And I get to know these kids because they are there very often. The children's eyes light up when they see me and the art cart. A sixyearold boy was receiving treatment for his leukemia and we were immersed(专注的) in some art activity. His mother was present and nearby. After a while, this young boy looked at his mother with excitement and said, “Mom, I promise I am going to try not to play video games too much. And I'd like to do more art. Art makes my head feel better.”
