UNIT 6 THE ADMIRABLE A组 Ⅰ.阅读 A (2022重庆高三阶段练习) When Peter Zhuo was a kid he could barely hold a pencil properly.He’d either wrap all his fingers around it or hold it uncomfortably between his middle and fourth finger.Through practice he managed to get it right when he was about eight.Now at 23,not only can he use a pencil competently,he’s using it to change the world,one stroke at a time. Peter—who goes by the name Peter Draw felt the desire to draw with a purpose after meeting Daniel,a teenager with a rare disease in November 2016.When Daniel first joined Peter’s drawing class at the Spastic Children’s Association of Singapore,Peter doubted if Daniel could even complete a drawing. But stroke by stroke the then 17-year-old did. “His passion for drawing really touched me.I felt I should do more with my drawing and help children at the same time,” says Peter,who has since taken on some impressive projects to raise awareness for his cause. Last October,he earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for drawing the world’s largest caricature (人物漫画).His 360-square-metre drawing of a famous person is twice the size of the previous record.Peter completed it in just three and a half hours while the previous record-holder took three days. And in December,he took on the challenge of drawing caricatures for 24 hours non-stop in order to raise money for Habitat for Humanity,a nonprofit organisation that builds homes for the less fortunate.Peter completed 952 sketches (素描) during the time.The event raised $6,000 through donations and his accomplishment earned him a mention in the Singapore Book of Records. 1.What can we know about Peter when he was a child?
