(2020·天津5月卷)
One of the most stressful days of Susan McFrederick's life was watching her son get wheeled away for surgery hours after he was born in 2011.
But after the operation, Susan burst into tears for a different reason: across the cut on their newborn son's back was a sweet winter scene, hand-drawn on his bandages(绷带).
“There were rolling hills of snow, a pine tree and a snowman with a hat and broom,” she recalled.“It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken the time to do that for my family.It was a moment I'll never forget.”
Susan soon learned the artist was her son's surgeon, Robert Parry, who discovered another way to use his hands in the mid-1980s during his internship (实习期) at a children's medical center, where he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes to decorate children's bandages.
“My first reaction was, ‘What is he doing? Hey, that's kind of neat,’” Parry recalled.“I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork.The smiles took everyone's attention from the surgery.Then I decided to follow suit.”
Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and sharks,and started to surprise families with drawings that captured young patients' personalities.From Snoopy to Spider-Man and bears to butterflies, there isn't much he hasn't drawn.Most kids want superheroes, sports team logos or princesses, while babies often receive scenes with flowers, trees and sea creatures.During the last 30 years, Parry estimates he has left examples of his handiwork over the stitches (伤口缝线) of more than 10,000 children.
“During a time of stress for families, it's nice to be able to help them smile and laugh,” Parry said.“This is something positive that I can do for them, which is what I like most about it.”
For Parry, the reward is knowing he hopefully made a difference in a child's life, and except for his drawings on bandages, “they can go on and live their lives and never know I was in it,”he said.
He's not ready to retire, but he's found a new hobby to keep his hands skillful in the years to come.
“I've taken up knitting (编织),” Parry said.“Hats, sweaters, gloves—I enjoy it all.But mostly, I enjoy giving everything away.”

For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques.While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript (手稿) consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious (神秘) as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records.But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described.“You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it,” she says.
Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen (工匠) who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them.It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.
The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says.One must know how an object was made in order to preserve it.What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down.Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues.These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours.We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared—something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice.Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when science—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world.Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering (修补), as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
5.How did Smith feel after reading the French manuscript?
Confused about the technical terms. Impressed with its detailed instructions.
Discouraged by its complex structure. Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
6.According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to .
restore old workshops understand the craftsmen
improve visual effects inspire the philosophers
7.Why does the author mention museums?
To reveal the beauty of ancient objects. To present the findings of old science.
To highlight the importance of antiques. To emphasise the values of hand skills.
8.Which would be the best title for this passage?
Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science

I have since 11 two sketchbooks with portraits (肖像), not as studies for future work, but as individual expressions.Similarly, Gregory described how he filled a sketchbook with drawings of his tea cup, emphasizing the 12 of repetitive practice.My latest sketchbook will 13 the biggest challenges of all my drawings— 14 .This time I moved on, not in 15 of it as before, because drawing a bunch of hands isn't just practice anymore; it's the joy of practice.
