课时作业(六)
Ⅰ 阅读
Inside the low lighting of Gather East Rock, the smell of coffee beans swirls (打旋) through the air. Art adorns (装点) the blue walls, but one painting stands out among the others. The painting's name is Mother Divine, by the artist Sarahi Zacatelco. The mother in question is a green woman, with colorful plants adorning her head and water dripping (滴下) down her neck. In every brushstroke, Zacatelco pays homage to the man who taught her how to paint: her grandfather Agustin.
Born in 1982, Zacatelco learned how to create art from her grandfather in Oaxaca. At the time, her grandfather lived with her while her mother worked. Together, the two spent hours going out to the central plaza in Juchitán, where she let her senses take over. “You can see the food, you can smell it, you can see the lady selling flowers, and you can see everything,” she recalled excitedly. When she was six years old, her grandfather gave her a piece of paper and watercolors and showed her how to put the colors on it. She hasn't stopped making art since.
Zacatelco's grandparents made chess pieces out of rocks and wood to sell. They also made Talavera pottery (陶器) pieces, which Zacatelco described as “a Baroque tradition” that one might see in old colonial (殖民地的) homes. She no longer has any of her grandparent's Talavera—“the tradition was lost due to being poorly paid and a lot of effort going into each piece.”
In the 1990s, Zacatelco's mother decided to move her family to give them a better life. She moved her children to Mexico City, then to the Bronx, and then to the Brownsville neighborhood in Eastern Brooklyn. The family moved to Fair Haven, where Zacatelco still lives, in 2001. She called it the perfect place to raise two boys and two girls. Her family did not keep any of her grandfather's old art before he died. But his artistic spirit did not die with him. Zacatelco carries on his legacy today with her art.

Keep an open mind
Some artworks may be surprising, and others might be a letdown. And that's OK. So allow yourself to feel however the art makes you feel. __2__. Studies have shown that it can lower stress—particularly when people view images of landscapes and seascapes. And it makes you feel good.

First, be realistic about how long you can spend at the museum. You don't need more than an hour or two. After that, it becomes “information overload” and it's hard to stay focused.

It was a warm Sunday. 16yearold Stella settled down with a book, enjoying her quiet moment when her friend Bog came over with his 6yearold sister. “Stella, please! I need you to help to watch Hazel! I have a lecture to attend this afternoon,” Bog begged.
Stella frowned, not thrilled with the idea of babysitting a little girl. However, Bog didn't offer her any other choice. He dropped Hazel off with Stella and quickly ran away before she could react.
With a heavy sigh, Stella unwillingly turned her attention to Hazel. “Fine, just stay there and don't cause any trouble,” she grumbled (嘟囔). To her surprise, little Hazel smiled and obediently sat by the table, drawing quietly without making a single noise.
For the next hour, Stella was quietly engaged in reading without being disturbed by Hazel. Gradually, her annoyance disappeared and she got accustomed to the company of Hazel. After a while, Hazel cautiously approached Stella, holding a picture. “Look, it's you and me,” she said in a low voice. It was a simple drawing of two girls, hand in hand, smiling.
Stella's heart softened as she looked at the drawing. She felt guilty about treating Hazel impatiently. Setting her book aside, Stella smiled warmly and said, “I love it. Thank you!” Then Stella began to join Hazel to create it together.
Just as they were lost in a world of colors, a sudden phone ringing broke the warm atmosphere. It was a phone call from her friend, reminding her about the longawaited plan to go skating on the ice rink (溜冰场). Stella's heart sank because she had forgotten all about it. She was torn between the desire to go skating and her duty to look after Hazel. She was also worried that taking her to skate would prevent her from enjoying gliding (滑) freely on the ice.

As Stella hesitated, Hazel looked up at her with hopeful eyes. “Can I come with you?” she asked eagerly. Stella's heart melted again at the sight of Hazel's twinkling eyes and she couldn't bear the thought of disappointing Hazel. “Of course,” she said softly with a warm smile. Hazel's face lit up with sheer delight as she jumped with excitement. Then, they quickly gathered things and headed to the ice rink. Upon arriving, Stella introduced Hazel to her friends, who welcomed her with open arms. They patiently helped Hazel put on skates and encouraged her to follow them onto the ice.
Hazel admiringly watched Stella and her friends gliding on the ice. Then she tentatively stepped onto the ice. Sensing Hazel's fear, Stella skated closer to help her. With patience and care, she gently guided Hazel how to find balance and glide on the ice. Step by step, they moved forward. Stella's gentle encouragement and support helped Hazel gain confidence. The initial fear gradually gave way to excitement as Hazel glided more smoothly. Watching it, Stella felt a sense of fulfillment welling up inside her.
