阅读理解

    Athena was born and raised in Ukraine. Her parents wanted her to become a lawyer or a doctor. But she always knew she wanted to paint. She also realized a career in painting would not be possible if she stayed in her country.

    Even though she was painting in her whole life and it was her passion(热情)but it was only a hobby. And she never really took it to the next level because back in the country all the artists were hungry artists. So she knew for some reason she never took art as a career because she would never be able to make money and be successful in it in several years.

    So. Athena came to the United States when she was 14 years old to pursue(追求)an American Dream. She was clear on her goal. Athena first worked at a health food shop. She began to paint on the shop's menu boards. A customer praised her skill and asked if she would help paint faces at street fairs. Athena says it was a good start. Then she went to FABAIC to start body painting.

    Body painting is quite different from plain painting. And she loves it very much. She says. "With body, you work with the people factor and it's not only you. Maybe they want to talk or move, and they cannot stand still for several days while the painting will last three to four days. When I paint. I can't stop."

A、a painter or an artist B、a worker or a waitress C、a lawyer or a doctor D、a teacher or a singer
(2)、Athena just took painting as a hobby because            .
A、she wanted to pursue her American Dream B、it was impossible to take painting as a career in her country C、she had passion in creative face painting D、she wanted to make more money than other artists

 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词或括号内单词的正确形式。

It was early spring, and there was a light fog( 雾) over the trees and fields. I and the other young horses {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (eat) at the lower end of the field when we heard the cry of dogs far away. The {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (old) among us lifted his head to listen. "There are the dogs!" he said, and ran away at once. We followed him to the top {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the field.

My mother and another old horse were standing near. "They have found a hare(野兔)," said my mother, "and if they come this way, we {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (see) the hunt(打猎)."

Soon the dogs were all running down the field next to ours, making aloud "yo-yo-yo" sound at the top of their voices. After then came men on horses as fast as they could. Suddenly, the dogs became {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (silence) and ran around with their noses to the ground.

"They {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (lose) the smell of the hare already," said the old horse. "Perhaps she will run away."         But the dogs began their "yo-yo-yo" again and came at full speed towards our field. Just then a hare, wild with fear, ran towards the trees. The dogs jumped over a small river and ran across the field. Six or eight huntsmen(猎人) jumped their horses over{#blank#}7{#/blank#}small river, close behind the dogs. Before the hare could get away, the dogs were upon her with wild cries.

We heard a terrible cry, and that was the end of the hare. She{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (pick) up by one of the men. She was covered in blood, but all the huntsmen seemed pleased.

I was{#blank#}9{#/blank#}surprised that at first I didn't see what was happening by the river. Later I saw a sad sight(景象)—two horses were down and the riders were hurt.

My mother said, "I can't understand why men like this sport so much. They quite often hurt {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they) and good horses."

Fonzie is a 3-metre-long dolphin (海豚). Joe was 3 years old when their story began. After Joe was born, he had a problem with heart and doctors operated (动手术) on him. When he was 3, he got another operation. However, this operation didn't go well—he couldn't move the left side of his body. The doctors didn't think he could get better. Deena, Joe's mother, took him to different places for therapy (治疗), but it wasn't successful. 

Joe liked staying in the water and Deena thought swimming could help him. Then one day Deena took Joe to a special place. There, people could swim with dolphins. Joe met Fonzie for the first time and their story really started. Soon, Joe wanted to see Fonzie every day. Joe loved playing with him and feeding him. Joe's mother told him always to feed Fonzie with his left hand, so Joe had to practice his left side more and more. Slowly, he got better and better. Joe always put a smile on his face from then on. Deena saw that the little dolphin helped her son a lot. So, she and her family worked together and built Dolphin Care for people with health problems. 

Joe once said Fonzie was a great friend to him. They shared a lot of good times together. After Fonzie died (死亡) , Joe was really sad and missed him very much. Joe will never forget the good relationship they had.
