There have been many great painters in the rich history of Chine art. Here are four of the greatest painters

from China.

Li Cheng (919—967, Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty)

Li Cheng contributed greatly to one of the golden ages of landscape paintings in world history. During his time,

he was considered the best landscape painter ever. He is remembered especially for the winter landscapes he

created and for simple compositions of tall, old evergreens t against a dry landscape. Several of his paintings are

in thin ink which gives them a foggy appearance.

Fan Kuan (990—1020 , Song Dynasty)

Fan Kuan began his career by modeling Li Cheng's work but later created his own style, claiming that the only

true teacher was nature. His finest workTravelers among Mountains and Streamsis a masterpiece of landscape

painting and many future artists turned to it for inspiration.

Qi Baishi (1864-1957)

One of the greatest contemporary Chine painters, Qi Baishi is known for not being influenced by Western

styles like most painters of his time. He can be considered as the last great traditional painter of China. He painted

almost everything from incts to landscapes. He is regarded highly in Chine art for the freshness that he

brought to the familiar types of birds and flowers, incts and grass.

Wu Guanzhong (1919—2010)

Widely considered as the founder of modern Chine painting , Wu Guanzhong has painted various aspects

of China, like its architecture, plants, animals, people and landscapes. Wu went on to combine Western and

Chine styles to create a unique form of modem art. In 1992, he became the first living Chine artist who work

Depression（抑郁症）in young adult males, ages 18 or 19, is linked to a 20% greater risk of having a heart

attack in middle age, according to a new Swedish study.

The link can be partly explained by poorer stress resilience（抗压能力）and lower physical fitness among

teens with mental disorders.

Therearch included 238,013 men born between 1958 and 1962 who were given examinations in

adolescence（青春期）and were then followed into middle age（up to the age of 58 years）. A total of 34,503 men

were diagnod（诊断）with a mental disorder.

The study found thata mental disorder in young adulthond was linked to a higher risk of having heart attack

by middle age. Compared to men without a mental illness in young adulthood，the risk of heart attack was

20%higher among men with a diagnosis.

“We already knew that menwho were physically fit in adolescence em less likely to keep fitness in later

years if they have low stress resilience” said study author Dr. Bergh, “Our rearch has also shown that low stress

resilience is also connected with a greater tendency towards bad behavior, such as higher risks of smoking,

drinking and other drug u.”

“Better fitness in adolescence is likely to help protect against later heart dia, particularly if people stay fit

as they age. Physical activities may also reduce some of the bad effects of stress. Tho in poor health could

benefit from additional support to encourage exerci and develop plans to deal with stress,” said Bergh.

4. How does the author develop paragraph 3?

A. By giving examples. B. By listing figures.

C. By making a comparison. D. By drawing a conclusion.

36-year-old Juan Dual likes to joke that he’s empty inside. Juan’s story began when he was only 13. It was

then that he was diagnod with a terrible dia, which left him with a 99.8% chance of developing cancer of

the digestive system. At age 19, right after finishing high-school, Juan underwent a tough operation to take away

his colon and rectum. Sadly, it was only the beginning. By age 28, Juan’s dia had affected his stomach and

gallbladder so he had to go under the knife again.

Having just recovered from veral rious surgeries, Juan Dual decided to accept the invitation of some

friends of his parents and travel to Japan. It was there that things started to change for the better. He didn’t speak

a word of Japane, so he spent most of his time walking his dog. One day, the dog pulled harder, and Juan

realized that he was still able to jog, and he started to do just that.

Months later, he found himlf working in a small, peaceful town in England. There was little in terms of

entertainment, but the town was surrounded by hills, so he devoted even more of his time to running. He

befriended some like-minded folks and told them what he’d been through, and they emed amazed at the fact

that he was still alive, let alone that he was pushing himlf to exerci. That’s when the idea of focusing on

motivating others took root in his mind.

With the help of Pepa, a nutritionist, Juan Dual slowly relearned how to eat to keep his energy level high

enough to sustain him during physical activity. Eight months after his last operation, he finished the Barcelona half

marathon in two hours. He then started training for mountain running and ultra-marathons.

removed.

13. What made Juan Dual aware that he could still run?

A. His parents’ support. B. A walk with his dog.

C. The idea of challenging himlf. D. His quick recovery from surgeries.

14. When did Juan Dual decide to inspire others with his story?

A. After finishing the Barcelona half marathon.

B After being introduced to a nutritionist named Pepa.

C. After sharing it with his friends in an English town.

D. After making friends with people with similar sufferings.

15. Which of the following words can best describe Juan Dual?

A. Ambitious and intelligent. B. Inspiring and responsible.

days away. Birthdays were always a lot of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts. Nearly all

of toys he and his sister had were homemade. There was nothing wrong with that, he knew. Like many families in

this part, they were poor.

This birthday would be different, though. Alice was older now, and he’d en how her eyes lit up when she

saw the new doll at Honey Hou, a neighborhood store just down the road from their hou.

How he longed for her to have it! An idea finally came to him just before he went to bed. After a quick

breakfast the following morning, he tied a bag to the handlebars of his bike and headed toward a village hill.

After a long journey, he reached his destination, the mango forest. There were already two other boys there.

Tony grabbed his bag and t to work immediately.

The sun was high overhead. The weather was hot and nearly all of the taller trees held ripe mangoes but they

were well beyond reach. Tony struggled to climb the trees to pick mangoes, though he fell off many times.

looking upward, and his arms grew sore. He kept at it, though, and by late afternoon his bag was nearly full.
