I didn’t listen much to my art teacher, Mr. Cardinelli. He talked about colors, styles (风格) and the topic. I was good at art. I was probably (可能) one of the best students in my class. So I just did my own thing.
I wanted my mask to look like a beautiful woman. I gave her beautiful eyes and a beautiful nose and mouth. I also gave her beautiful hair and a headdress (头饰). Mr. Cardinelli told me to use more colors, but I was sure of myself. So I only used black and white.
The day of the art show came. I didn’t feel nervous. The teachers put all the masks on a wall in the gym. I could also see mine. It looked different from all the others. Above the masks, there was a big sign. It said USING ALL COLORS IN ABSTRACT ART (抽象艺术). I knew that I missed the whole point of the work.

How old were you when you learned the word—WHY? Most children learned it at about three. By learning this simple word, they begin to learn about the world around them. Just as importantly, they also learn how to communicate (交流) with others.
Later, children learn other question words—who, what... to know more about the world. Asking questions is the key to getting knowledge. Some students, however, may seem shy about asking questions because they are afraid of seeming stupid. But in fact, there are no stupid questions. If one person doesn’t understand something, others in the class probably don’t either.
Asking questions is a way for people to become successful in some situations (情况). It shows that you are interested in the other person. As a result, you may become more popular. If you only talk about things you prefer, they won’t be friends with you.
For some jobs, such as reporters and doctors, asking questions is so important that it is regarded as a skill. A reporter has to ask the right questions to get the story of an event. And a doctor has to learn how to ask questions in order to diagnose a patient’s illness.
When some people are young, they like to ask questions. But as they grow older, they pay more attention to conclusions (结论). I hope all of us will never become one of those people.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. How does the writer start the text?
A. By giving an example. B. By telling a story. C. By asking a question. D. By using a saying.
12. What should children do if they want to get knowledge according to the text?
A. Read more books. B. Never be shy. C. Make more friends. D. Ask questions.
13. What does the underlined word “diagnose” mean in the text?
A. beat B. stop C. leave D. decide
14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. Asking more questions of reporters and doctors. B. Asking questions is important when looking for a job.
C. Regarding asking questions as a skill in some jobs. D. Asking different questions in different jobs.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. How to communicate with others B. How to become successful
C. Why we should ask questions D. Why young people like asking questions

I made a mask (面具) in the art class. Then I put a piece of paper over it. It was the start of my work. I made the work to enter the school art show. The art show was a big deal at our school, so I prepared for it very carefully to make sure my work would win.
I didn’t listen much to my art teacher, Mr. Cardinelli. He talked about colors, styles (风格) and the topic. I was good at art. I was probably (可能) one of the best students in my class. So I just did my own thing.
I wanted my mask to look like a beautiful woman. I gave her beautiful eyes and a beautiful nose and mouth. I also gave her beautiful hair and a headdress (头饰). Mr. Cardinelli told me to use more colors, but I was sure of myself. So I only used black and white.
The day of the art show came. I didn’t feel nervous. The teachers put all the masks on a wall in the gym. I could also see mine. It looked different from all the others. Above the masks, there was a big sign. It said USING ALL COLORS IN ABSTRACT ART (抽象艺术). I knew that I missed the whole point of the work.
My mask didn’t win a prize. I broke into tears with regret and I learned that listening to the teacher’s words might be a good idea.

How old were you when you learned the word—WHY? Most children learned it at about three. By learning this simple word, they begin to learn about the world around them. Just as importantly, they also learn how to communicate (交流) with others.
Later, children learn other question words—who, what... to know more about the world. Asking questions is the key to getting knowledge. Some students, however, may seem shy about asking questions because they are afraid of seeming stupid. But in fact, there are no stupid questions. If one person doesn’t understand something, others in the class probably don’t either.
Asking questions is a way for people to become successful in some situations (情况). It shows that you are interested in the other person. As a result, you may become more popular. If you only talk about things you prefer, they won’t be friends with you.
For some jobs, such as reporters and doctors, asking questions is so important that it is regarded as a skill. A reporter has to ask the right questions to get the story of an event. And a doctor has to learn how to ask questions in order to diagnose a patient’s illness.
When some people are young, they like to ask questions. But as they grow older, they pay more attention to conclusions (结论). I hope all of us will never become one of those people.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. How does the writer start the text?
A. By giving an example. B. By telling a story. C. By asking a question. D. By using a saying.
12. What should children do if they want to get knowledge according to the text?
A. Read more books. B. Never be shy. C. Make more friends. D. Ask questions.
13. What does the underlined word “diagnose” mean in the text?
A. beat B. stop C. leave D. decide
14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. Asking more questions of reporters and doctors. B. Asking questions is important when looking for a job.
C. Regarding asking questions as a skill in some jobs. D. Asking different questions in different jobs.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. How to communicate with others B. How to become successful
C. Why we should ask questions D. Why young people like asking questions
