A
Later this month Tate Britain will host its first Van Gogh exhibition since 1947 Here we＇ve rounded up 4 of his best paintings before the show
Potato Eaters
Potato Eaters was Van Gogh＇s first major work and despite a distinct lack of colour it was one that he was most proud of His aim was to represent the difficulties of country life so the farmers are painted in earthy tones with rough faces and bony hands He was more concerned with conveying his message than achieving technical perfection in this painting
Irises
Van Gogh finished almost 142 pieces during his stay in the Saint Remy de Provence asylum(精神病) where he was a voluntary patient from 1889 to 1890 This piece was started shortly after he arrived there The hospital garden provided much inspiration for the artist during his stay there Originally the flowers in this work were painted purple but the red pigment (色素) faded over time and has now turned blue
Cafe Terrace at Night
Despite being painted more than 130 years ago this cafe still exists in France and has since been renamed the Cafe Van Gogh This artwork marks the first time Van Gogh＇s famous postimpressionistic starfilled sky was seen in a piece and it was painted on the ground in person rather than from memory While the artwork doesn＇t bear his signature it＇s widely known to be Van Gogh＇s as he mentioned Cafe Terrace at Night in a number of his letters
Wheat Field with Cypresses
This piece was inspired by the view from Van Gogh＇s asylum window and was finished on the spot The work was the title of three paintings that offer an insight into his stay at the hospital Van Gogh was pleased with the summer landscape that he made three copies there one of the same size—which hangs in the National Gallery—and two smaller copies which he planned to gift to his mother and sister
1Which painting did Vincent van Gogh take most pride in
AIrises BPotato Eaters
CCafeTerrace at Night DWheat Field with Cypresses
2What is the original colour of the flowers in Irises
APurple BBlue CRed DYellow
3What do the last two paintings have in common
AThey were the same in size BThey had more than one copy
CThey were signed by the artist DThey were painted on the ground

As everyone knows shaking hands is a sign of peace and kindness However people finally realize hands have a lot of germs How do you avoid a handshake if necessary
First see if you can get away with a fist bump(碰拳) A handshake spreads four times the bacteria a fist bump does because of the increased contact time and total surface area exposed But it＇s a simple greeting If you＇re meeting your tennis partner go for it But do not fist bump your boss
Prefer to avoid contact completely Patti Wood author of SNAP Making the Most of First Impressions Body Language and Charisma offers a suggestion the peace sign As Wood notes Belgian BBC reporter Victor de Laveleye suggested that his countrymen use V as a greeting during World War Ⅱ which stands for the French word victoire (victory) and Dutch word vijiheid (freedom) If you show the peace symbol it shows your own beliefs to others At the same time you want the same in return says Wood
Above all Wood suggests starting the greeting earlier while you＇re still about seven feet out giving you the chance to slow it down In a more formal setting introduce yourself to others before they get the chance and offer a wave(挥手) instead of your hand If they＇re still going in for it there＇s still hope
When they reach out their hand place your hand over your heart and lean(倾斜) forward a bit instead of taking it Researchers at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Poland found that when people do this they＇re regarded as more honest By doing this you show friendliness that handshakes always do while it suggests you＇d rather not touch After that if someone still sticks to a handshake you are no longer the one making the situation embarrassing
1What is the disadvantage of a fist bump as a greeting
AIt is not fit for formal occasions BIt is limited to the sports world
CIt doesn＇t look as friendly as a handshake DIt spreads no less bacteria than a handshake
2What does Patti Wood suggest in order to avoid contact
AAsking others to make a Vsign at the beginning
BKeeping your distance from others all along
CShowing greetings one step ahead of others
DSimply ignoring others＇ hands reaching out
3What do we know about the greeting mentioned in the last paragraph
AIt shows that one is really sincere BIt is highly likely to cause trouble
CIt makes the others embarrassed DIt is often sent by researchers
4What is the best title for the text
AHow to Treat Others with Kindness BMajor Types of Greetings in Daily Life
CHow to Make Handshakes Much Safer DPolite Ways to Get Out of Shaking Hands
C
You may have already seen the shocking video A man walking his dogs takes a direct hit by lightning He falls to the ground suddenly unconscious(失知觉) Fortunately the dogs of the man—Alex Coreas—head for the hills And they don＇t look back
In fact lightning is much more dangerous for animals than for humans Perhaps the most heartbreaking example took place in Norway in 2016 Over 300 deer were found dead on a mountain According to scientist Taylor Ward the lightning probably hit the ground and then spread outwards in a deadly shockwave(击波) which struck each deer more easily
Why It is likely due to how animals are grounded Animals have many legs and they＇re much farther apart Electricity flows through them and outwards So imagine a flash of lightning hitting the ground It finds a leg travels up it and then finds another leg What＇s more when lightning strikes a human there＇s a chance that the charge goes up one leg and out the other without hurting any vital organs However when lightning goes up an animal＇s front hoof(蹄) it travels through its body to reach the back leg
You might wonder how the lightning that struck Coreas left his dogs unscathed It is reported that it＇s likely because he absorbed the lightning directly He may have been protected by his raincoat And if he was covered with the rain the charge could have traveled around his body rather than through it According to his family when he came around in the hospital his thoughts turned to his beloved dogs The first thing that came into my mind was ＇Where are my dogs＇ he said
They＇re safe But perhaps they＇re just a little more unwilling to step outside in a storm
1What can we learn about Alex Coreas
AHe passed away in an instant BHe was finally saved by his dogs
CHe survived the lightning luckily DHe got hit when attending his dogs
2How is lightning＇s harmful effect on animals described in the text
ABy listing some opinions BBy making comparisons
CBy mentioning a video DBy quoting a scientist＇s words
3What does the underlined word unscathed in the last but one paragraph mean
AUncomfortable BUnnoticeable CUntouched DUninjured
4What is the text mainly about
AHow lightning can be avoided BWhat damage lightning may lead to
CWhy lightning is deadlier to animals DHow animals are easily struck by lightning
D
Just as the 911 terrorist attacks in 2001 caused stronger safety measures in office buildings COVID19 may also change how office buildings are designed
Even if big changes won＇t greet most employees immediately their return to the office may be carefully arranged Hand sanitizer(洗手消毒液) will probably be placed in the entrance Door handles will be cleaned every day Remotework practices that many companies tried to follow in the outbreak of COVID19 are likely to continue in some form for the future making it easier for workers to spread out in their offices There could be A teams and B teams working in different days said Scott Rechler chairman of RXR Realty
Over the past ten years many companies eliminated personal offices in favor of open plan offices but the amount of space per office worker decreased by 25 said Janet Pogue McLaurin an architect at the design company Gensler which has been observing changes in the workplace since 2008 The typical workstation(工作区) ten years ago was 8 by 8 feet By 2015 the workstation was down to 6 by 8 feet and in recent years it has become smaller
Companies are now considering other ways to give employees breathing room A meeting room designed for 12 might be used as a meeting room for six In reception areas chairs could be placed farther apart The whole point of furniture was to bring people together said Kelly Griffin from the architecture company NBBJ Now it has a different function to pull people apart
Workplaces may also have big changes in the future including the addition of building materials that reduce the spread of viruses In addition new technology could provide access to rooms and lifts without employees having to touch a handle or press a button
1How could remotework practices be used further according to Scott Rechler
ABy taking advantage of high tech BBy dividing employees into groups
CBy creating a safer work environment DBy making more people work at home
2What does the underlined word eliminated in Paragraph 3 probably mean
ATook something away BManaged something well
CValued something greatly DTook charge of something
3What measure for workplaces is suggested in Paragraph 4
AHaving fewer people employed BMaking new seating arrangements
CReplacing old furniture with new one DDecreasing the sizes of meeting rooms
4Which is harder to achieve immediately in the workplace according to the text
AMore breathing room BCleaner door handles
CLarger working spaces DSpecial building materials

Try the cork again I bet the genie is waiting for us to release him Or we＇ll find a treasure map and have a real adventure Jim exclaimed
Andy tugged again on the cork He wiggled it back and forth He twisted it around and around Finally it popped out without breaking Andy shook the bottle Nothing came out Looking inside he couldn＇t see anything Jim looked too and shook his head Empty
It＇s just an old wine bottle Jim complained He grabbed the bottle and tossed it back onto the sand

You may have already seen the shocking video A man walking his dogs takes a direct hit by lightning He falls to the ground suddenly unconscious(失知觉) Fortunately the dogs of the man—Alex Coreas—head for the hills And they don＇t look back
In fact lightning is much more dangerous for animals than for humans Perhaps the most heartbreaking example took place in Norway in 2016 Over 300 deer were found dead on a mountain According to scientist Taylor Ward the lightning probably hit the ground and then spread outwards in a deadly shockwave(击波) which struck each deer more easily
Why It is likely due to how animals are grounded Animals have many legs and they＇re much farther apart Electricity flows through them and outwards So imagine a flash of lightning hitting the ground It finds a leg travels up it and then finds another leg What＇s more when lightning strikes a human there＇s a chance that the charge goes up one leg and out the other without hurting any vital organs However when lightning goes up an animal＇s front hoof(蹄) it travels through its body to reach the back leg
You might wonder how the lightning that struck Coreas left his dogs unscathed It is reported that it＇s likely because he absorbed the lightning directly He may have been protected by his raincoat And if he was covered with the rain the charge could have traveled around his body rather than through it According to his family when he came around in the hospital his thoughts turned to his beloved dogs The first thing that came into my mind was ＇Where are my dogs＇ he said
They＇re safe But perhaps they＇re just a little more unwilling to step outside in a storm
1What can we learn about Alex Coreas
AHe passed away in an instant BHe was finally saved by his dogs
CHe survived the lightning luckily DHe got hit when attending his dogs
2How is lightning＇s harmful effect on animals described in the text
ABy listing some opinions BBy making comparisons
CBy mentioning a video DBy quoting a scientist＇s words
3What does the underlined word unscathed in the last but one paragraph mean
AUncomfortable BUnnoticeable CUntouched DUninjured
4What is the text mainly about
AHow lightning can be avoided BWhat damage lightning may lead to
CWhy lightning is deadlier to animals DHow animals are easily struck by lightning
D
Just as the 911 terrorist attacks in 2001 caused stronger safety measures in office buildings COVID19 may also change how office buildings are designed
Even if big changes won＇t greet most employees immediately their return to the office may be carefully arranged Hand sanitizer(洗手消毒液) will probably be placed in the entrance Door handles will be cleaned every day Remotework practices that many companies tried to follow in the outbreak of COVID19 are likely to continue in some form for the future making it easier for workers to spread out in their offices There could be A teams and B teams working in different days said Scott Rechler chairman of RXR Realty
Over the past ten years many companies eliminated personal offices in favor of open plan offices but the amount of space per office worker decreased by 25 said Janet Pogue McLaurin an architect at the design company Gensler which has been observing changes in the workplace since 2008 The typical workstation(工作区) ten years ago was 8 by 8 feet By 2015 the workstation was down to 6 by 8 feet and in recent years it has become smaller
Companies are now considering other ways to give employees breathing room A meeting room designed for 12 might be used as a meeting room for six In reception areas chairs could be placed farther apart The whole point of furniture was to bring people together said Kelly Griffin from the architecture company NBBJ Now it has a different function to pull people apart
Workplaces may also have big changes in the future including the addition of building materials that reduce the spread of viruses In addition new technology could provide access to rooms and lifts without employees having to touch a handle or press a button
1How could remotework practices be used further according to Scott Rechler
ABy taking advantage of high tech BBy dividing employees into groups
CBy creating a safer work environment DBy making more people work at home
2What does the underlined word eliminated in Paragraph 3 probably mean
ATook something away BManaged something well
CValued something greatly DTook charge of something
3What measure for workplaces is suggested in Paragraph 4
AHaving fewer people employed BMaking new seating arrangements
CReplacing old furniture with new one DDecreasing the sizes of meeting rooms
4Which is harder to achieve immediately in the workplace according to the text
AMore breathing room BCleaner door handles
CLarger working spaces DSpecial building materials

Try the cork again I bet the genie is waiting for us to release him Or we＇ll find a treasure map and have a real adventure Jim exclaimed
