One day when Picasso was walking along a road, a woman passed by and saw him. She ran to Picasso for a painting as a gift. Picasso smiled and said (polite), "I'm sorry, Madam. I have nothing to paint. I am /ˈempti/ handed here. I may make you a painting some other time."

However, the woman didn't give up. She (keep) on, "Please, I am a big fan of you and I want to meet you for years." Hearing this, Picasso was moved and then took out a small  of paper and a pen, and began to draw something. Within 10 seconds, Picasso finished (draw) and handed it to the woman, "Take this! It's a million-dollar painting."

But the woman thought Picasso was just playing a joke on her. How could it be /wɜːθ/ a million dollars just in 10 seconds? So she went to the market and was (surprise) to learn that it was true.

When meeting Picasso again, she wished she could be his student. She said, "Please teach me so that I can do the same thing  such a short time."

Picasso smiled and said, "Dear, the drawing I made was not in 10 seconds  my thirty-year efforts towards the arts!" The woman was speechless.

We fix our eyes on others' /səkˈses/ more often than the hard work and patience behind it. If we want to reach it, we need experience and struggle(奋斗).

                                                                             Drawing might help you think

    When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks? If so, your teacher might have told you {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(stop). Many people think of doodling(涂鸦) as a distraction(精神涣散) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.

    One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.

    Other people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (suggest)other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (have)a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.

    Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (write)a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (believe)doodling is helpful because it incorporates(整合)many ways of learning. You lean in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn.

And when you doodle while you {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (listen)to a lecture, you use all four.

    You might think that being good at {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (draw)is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!

 阅读下列材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Kathy could still remember the night she had to leave her home in Hungary. It was the beginning of World War(战争)II and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible. She quickly filled(充满)a bag with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her treasure(珍宝)—a beautiful silk scarf. 

Kathy and her best friend, Monica, had asked their parents to buy them matching scarves. They each would wear the scarves as a symbol(象征)of their friendship. Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning. 

Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview(面试)for good luck. And with the scarf, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview. 

That afternoon Eliza left the interview, feeling sure that she had got the job. So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. As she was sitting at her table, she felt someone looking at her. Sitting next to her was an old woman, who could not take her eyes away from her. 

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Eliza asked. 

"I`m sorry, dear, but you make me think of someone I once knew," the old woman replied. "My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you're wearing around your neck. Eliza listened carefullywith her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. 

"My name's Monica, dear. I lived in Hungary as a child, but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old. I've been living here in California from then on." said the old woman. 

Eliza could not believe her ears…
