(2023上·广东深圳·七年级深圳市高级中学校考期末)Art class was over, but Sarah sat glued to her chair. She didn’t draw anything. Sarah’s teacher looked at the blank paper.
“Ah! A polar bear in a snowstorm,” she said.
“Very funny!” said Sarah. “I just CAN’T draw!”
Her teacher smiled. “Just draw something and see where it takes you.”
Sarah grabbed a marker and gave the paper a good, strong jab (戳). “There!”
Her teacher then studied the paper carefully. “Hmmm.” She pushed the paper toward Sarah and said, “Now sign (签名) it.”
Sarah thought for a moment. “Well, maybe I can’t draw, but I CAN sign my name.”
The next week, when Sarah walked into art class, she was surprised to see what was hanging above her teacher’s desk. It was the little dot she had drawn—HER DOT! All framed (装裱) in gold!
“Hmmph! I can make a better dot than THAT!” She opened her never-before-used set of watercolors and set to work.
She painted and painted.
A yellow dot.
A green dot.
A red dot.
A blue dot.
The blue mixed with the red. She found out that she could make a purple dot. Sarah kept experimenting, creating lots of little dots in many colors.
“If I can make little dots, I can make big dots, too!” Sarah splashed her colors with a bigger brush on bigger paper to make bigger dots.
At the school art show a few weeks later, people loved Sarah’s many dots. She found a little boy gazing up at her.
“You are really a great artist. I wish I could draw,” he said.
“I bet you can,” said Sarah.
“ME? No, not me. I can’t draw a straight (直的) line with a ruler.”
Sarah smiled. She handed the boy a blank sheet of paper. “Show me.” The boy’s pencil shook (发抖) as he drew his line.
Sarah stared at the boy’s squiggle (波浪线). And then she said… “Please, sign it.”
