　　Claude Monet， Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci ...the art world has never been short of talent.And now， a new painter is ready to join the list， although this one isn’t even a human.
　　Next month， the auction house Christie’s Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of artwork created by artificial intelligence （AI） for sale.The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond de Belamy.The work， which features a man with a mysterious look on his face， was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious.
　　Nicolas Laugero Lasserre， an art collector， called the work “strange and amazing at the same time”.This isn’t the first example of AI-produced artwork， as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs.However， many people doubt whether it should be called art.According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy， art is about creating emotion.He once said that art is a means of joining people of the same feelings together.
　　So， if the emotion behind art is what makes it， the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species.And as a tool itself， the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers.Together， they “fed” the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries， until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.
　　The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement.However， not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.“The human mind is what’s behind the AI technology.And the human mind is not a cold， hard fact，” said Oscar Schwartz， a researcher and writer.“Rather， it is something that’s created with our opinions and something that changes over time.”
1.What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork？
A.It is about to be sold.
B.It is created by a robot.
C.It is designed by a portrait painter.
D.It is the second artwork produced by AI.
2.Why is Leo Tolstoy mentioned？
A.To present his opinion about art.
B.To stress the value of the artwork.
C.To show the definition of emotion.
D.To question the AI-produced artwork.
3.What can be inferred from Oscar Schwartz’s words？
A.AI art doesn’t change over time.
B.AI art is similar to human artworks.
C.AI art comes from the human mind.
D.AI art is beyond humans’s imagination.
4.Where is the text most likely from？
A.A guidebook. B.A textbook.
C.A science novel. D.A newspaper.

　　Many older people around the world have at least one common concern： how to get younger people hooked on their electronic devices interested in classic literature？ Take the Monkey King， or Sun Wukong， as an example.The main character in the 16th-century classic novel， Journey to the West， is a romantic figure of bravery and adventure that fascinated millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.
　　Havoc in Heaven， a new Peking Opera film， attracted the wider public to the charm of the traditional Chinese performance art， featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West.This film， expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera， includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera.It covers all the basic techniques， more than 10 classic tunes， and make-up for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics.
　　It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film， each of which has its own rhythm， according to Cheng Lu， director of the film， who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form.One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art.The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed.
　　Some background images on stage， such as a painted waterfall， remain， and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film， rather than employing the pre-recorded music.“If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film， it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art，” Cheng said.
　　On the other hand， some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage puter technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes.
　　Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 1970s， but they gave way to more diverse entertainment.In recent years， there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films.However， the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances.The imagination （enabled by the stage） can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression.
5.What is the purpose of the first paragraph？
A.To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.
B.To introduce a new Peking Opera film.
C.To express older people’s concern about the young generation.
D.To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art.
6.What did Director Cheng do while producing the film？
A.He made changes to basic performance skills.
B.He made use of symbols and motions equally.
C.He insisted on a band playing music on the scene.
D.He brought onto the stage exact details of real life.
7.What innovation did Cheng’s team make？
A.They opposed a rigid recording of the performance.
B.They enriched visual effects with modern technology.
C.They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera.
D.They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting.
8.What can we conclude from the last paragraph？
A.Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films.
B.Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination.
C.There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera.
D.The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be sacrificed for films.

　　Girl with a Pearl Earring has been part of the Mauritshuis’ collection in the Hague since 1902 and is still on display at the museum.Rumours （謠言） have surrounded Johannes Vermeer’s work ever since it was rediscovered in the late 19th century， and this painting still continues to generate interest， debate and imagination.
　　Although Vermeer was among the most successful artists working in Delft during the 17th century， he was almost completely forgotten after his death in 1675.Even during his lifetime， Vermeer’s influence was mainly limited to Delft where he earned a reasonable living as a painter and art dealer.What’s more， Vermeer’s name is rarely mentioned in historical records and he left behind barely any other documents about his career or personal history.
　　Very little is known about Girl with a Pearl Earring.However， art historians have decided several important facts about the painting.Recent research suggests that the black， negative space behind Vermeer’s model was originally painted dark green.
　　Much like other artists of his time， Vermeer enjoyed painting figures dressed in Middle Eastern clothes.As his model is dressed in a turban （女用頭巾）， many art historians argue that the Vermeer’s painting shouldn’t be considered as a portrait （肖像畫） at all.Instead， most scholars agree that Girl with a Pearl Earring belongs to a kind of painting called Tronie that began in the Low Countries around Vermeer’s time.This type of artwork often portrays （描繪） characters rather than actual people.It portrays a certain type of character； in this case a girl in fanciful dress， wearing an oriental turban and an improbably large pearl in her ear.
　　It is interesting to note that the painting was known as Girl with Turban or simply Young Girl for most of its existence and only received its current name less than a century ago.While it is impossible to identify Vermeer’s model， due to a complete lack of evidence， he may have asked one of his seven daughters to sit for the painting.
9.What do we learn about Johannes Vermeer when he was alive？
A.He lived a very hard life.
B.He wasn’t a gifted artist.
C.He liked writing about himself.
D.He wasn’t much known out of his city.
10.What made some scholars regard Girl with a Pearl Earring as a work of Tronie？
A.The girl’s special expression.
B.The girl’s unusual dressing.
C.The model’s unclear gesture.
D.The model’s background painting.
11.What can we know about the painting from the last paragraph？
A.Its model remains mysterious.
B.Its name is still controversial.
C.It was severely damaged a century ago.
D.It was inspired by a daughter of the artist.
12.What would be the best title for the text？
A.Life experiences of Johannes Vermeer
B.The model of Girl with a Pearl Earring
C.The story behind Girl with a Pearl Earring
D.Characteristics of Johannes Vermeer’s painting

　　　17　
　　A piece of art can produce powerful emotions when we look at it.Art can cheer us up after a bad day， make us remember， or inspire us to do more in life.It can provide comfort that we are not the only ones feeling a certain way.It also provides a reflection back to us that enables us to chew on our own reactions， emotions， and thoughts.

5.B　推理判斷題。根據第一段內容以及第二段第一句可知，本文主要介紹了京劇電影《大鬧天宮》的相關內容，而本段以年長的人期望年輕人對經典文學感興趣來引出《西游記》中的孫悟空進而在第二段引出本文的話題：介紹京劇電影《大鬧天宮》。
6.C　細節理解題。根據第三段最后兩句以及第四段第一句可知，程箓導演在拍攝影片時讓樂隊現場演奏，將傳統和創新結合在一起。

9.D　推理判斷題。根據第二段中的Even during his lifetime， Vermeer’s influence was mainly limited to Delft where he earned a reasonable living as a painter and art dealer.可知，在Johannes Vermeer活著的時候，他在他的城市之外并不出名。
10.B　細節理解題。根據第四段內容可知，和他那個時代的其他藝術家一樣，Vermeer喜歡畫穿著中東服裝的人物。由于他的模特戴著頭巾，許多藝術歷史學家認為Vermeer的畫根本不應該被視為肖像畫。相反，大多數學者認為《戴珍珠耳環的少女》屬于一種叫Tronie的畫。由此可知，女孩不尋常的著裝使一些學者認為《戴珍珠耳環的少女》屬于Tronie。
11.A　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的While it is impossible to identify Vermeer’s model， due to a complete lack of evidence， he may have asked one of his seven daughters to sit for the painting.可知，這幅畫的模特仍然很神秘。
12.C　標題歸納題。根據第一段內容可知，自1902年以來，《戴珍珠耳環的少女》一直是莫瑞泰斯在海牙的收藏品，現在仍在該博物館展出。自從Johannes Vermeer的作品在19世紀末被重新發現以來，圍繞著它的流言不斷，這幅畫至今仍在繼續引起人們的興趣、爭論和想象。由此可知，下文主要講述了《戴珍珠耳環的少女》這幅畫背后的故事。因此這篇文章最好的標題是D項。

6 / 6Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas
What inspires you？
　　Every artist’s wish [1]is to create① something that expresses an idea.But where do artists get their ideas from？ Who or what inspires them？ Here we find out more about the influences② behind the successes of three very different artists.
　　Florentijn Hofman， visual artist③
　　Florentijn Hofman is a Dutch④ artist，[2]whose large sculptures⑤ are on display⑥ all over the world.One way for him to find inspiration⑦ is [3]turning to his children’s toys.These objects have given him ideas for his animal sculptures， such as⑧ the famous Rubber Duck.A more recent work of his is the huge Floating⑨ Fish，[4]which was set among the beautiful landscape of Wuzhen West Scenic Zone⑩.
　　[1]動詞不定式作表語，其中that expresses an idea為定語從句，修飾先行詞something。
　　[2]whose 引導非限制性定語從句，在從句中作定語。
　　[3]動詞-ing形式作表語。
　　[4]which 引導非限制性定語從句，先行詞為Floating Fish。
　　Hofman’s inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales [5]passed down through the generations.He was particularly [6]interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate ”.This story came to life for Hofman [7]when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there.
　　[5]動詞-ed形式作后置定語。
　　[6]動詞-ed形式作表語。
　　[7]when引導時間狀語從句，其中how 引導賓語從句。
　　“During the walk and my stay here in the town， I saw the fish [8]being fed by people.You see also some fish [9]sculpted on the wall.” These sights set Hofman’s idea for Floating Fish in motion .
　　[8]動詞-ing形式的被動式作賓語補足語。
　　[9]動詞-ed形式短語作賓語補足語。
　　Tan Dun， composer
　　“There is no territory in the world of music.” These are the words of Chinese composer Tan Dun.He is most widely known for composing music for the film Crouching Tiger， Hidden Dragon and the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
　　To listen to Tan’s music is [10]to experience a mix of Chinese musical traditions and Western influences.Since his first opera ， Nine Songs， Tan Dun has been using a combination of Chinese music and sounds from all over the world to tell stories .[11]As Tan once said， Chinese music should carry “universal expression” of the human spirit so as to be recognised by the whole world.
　　[10]動詞不定式作表語。
　　[11]As 引導非限制性定語從句。
　　
Yang Liping， dancer
　　Yang Liping’s passion is [12]dancing.After winning a national competition in 1986 with her Spirit of the Peacock dance， she has been known as the “Peacock Princess ”.The inspiration for her famous dances has come from the time [13]she spent in Xishuangbanna， Yunnan Province.
　　[12]動詞-ing形式作表語。
　　[13]省略了that/which的定語從句。
　　“I feel very grateful for the years in Xishuangbanna，” says Yang.“It gave me a chance to go deeper into the lives of various ethnic groups ...Our ethnic groups， especially the Dai people， admire the peacock.They think the peacock represents the beauty of nature.I especially like the dance style of the Dai people and it gives me lots of inspiration.My dance comes from their traditional belief and aims to bring out the Dai women’s beauty.”

【參考譯文】
你的靈感從哪兒來？
　　每位藝術家都希望通過創作表達自己的理念。而這些理念從何而來？是誰，抑或是什么啟發了他們？下面，我們進一步發掘了三位大不相同的藝術家成功背后的因素。
　　弗洛倫泰因·霍夫曼，視覺藝術家
　　弗洛倫泰因·霍夫曼是一位荷蘭藝術家，他創作的大型雕塑在世界各地進行展出。他的孩子們的玩具是他的一個靈感來源。霍夫曼從這些玩具身上得到啟發，從而創作出動物形狀的雕塑，比如著名的“大黃鴨”。他最近的新作是一條巨大的“浮魚”，位于風景宜人的烏鎮西柵景區內。
　　霍夫曼表示，“浮魚”的靈感源自世代相傳的中國民間故事。他對“鯉魚躍龍門”的古老故事尤其感興趣。當霍夫曼游覽烏鎮，看到當地居民的生活時，這個故事立馬生動地浮現于他的腦海中。
　　“我住在鎮上期間，當我散步的時候，看到人們在喂魚。你也可以看到墻上還有魚形的浮雕。”這些畫面讓霍夫曼漸漸浮現出創作“浮魚”的念頭。
　　譚盾，作曲家
　　“音樂的世界沒有邊界。”中國作曲家譚盾如是說。這位著名的作曲家曾為電影《臥虎藏龍》配樂，并為2008年北京奧運會創作音樂。
　　欣賞譚盾的音樂，就是在感受中國音樂傳統和西方影響的交融。從他的第一部歌劇《九歌》開始，譚盾一直在用中國音樂和來自世界各地的樂音講述故事。他曾說過，中國音樂要承載人文精神的“共同理念”，才能被世界認可。
　　
楊麗萍，舞蹈家
　　楊麗萍熱愛舞蹈。1986年，她憑借《雀之靈》在全國舞蹈大賽上折桂。此后，她成為家喻戶曉的“孔雀公主”，她的許多著名舞蹈作品的靈感都來源于她在云南西雙版納度過的一段時光。
　　楊麗萍說：“我很感激在西雙版納的那些年，它讓我有機會深入到各個民族的生活里面……我們的少數民族，尤其是傣族人民，特別喜愛孔雀。他們認為孔雀展現了自然之美。我特別喜歡傣族人的舞蹈風格，這給了我很多靈感。我的舞蹈源自他們的傳統信仰，同時也致力于展現傣族女性的美。”

【參考譯文】
你的靈感從哪兒來？
　　每位藝術家都希望通過創作表達自己的理念。而這些理念從何而
來？是誰，抑或是什么啟發了他們？下面，我們進一步發掘了三位大
不相同的藝術家成功背后的因素。
　
　　　弗洛倫泰因·霍夫曼，視覺藝術家
弗洛倫泰因·霍夫曼是一位荷蘭藝術家，他創作的大型雕塑在世
界各地進行展出。他的孩子們的玩具是他的一個靈感來源。霍夫曼從
這些玩具身上得到啟發，從而創作出動物形狀的雕塑，比如著名的
“大黃鴨”。他最近的新作是一條巨大的“浮魚”，位于風景宜人的烏鎮
西柵景區內。
　　霍夫曼表示，“浮魚”的靈感源自世代相傳的中國民間故事。他對
“鯉魚躍龍門”的古老故事尤其感興趣。當霍夫曼游覽烏鎮，看到當地
居民的生活時，這個故事立馬生動地浮現于他的腦海中。
　　“我住在鎮上期間，當我散步的時候，看到人們在喂魚。你也可
以看到墻上還有魚形的浮雕。”這些畫面讓霍夫曼漸漸浮現出創作“浮
魚”的念頭。
　　譚盾，作曲家
　　“音樂的世界沒有邊界。”中國作曲家譚盾如是說。這位著名的作
曲家曾為電影《臥虎藏龍》配樂，并為2008年北京奧運會創作音樂。
　　欣賞譚盾的音樂，就是在感受中國音樂傳統和西方影響的交融。
從他的第一部歌劇《九歌》開始，譚盾一直在用中國音樂和來自世界
各地的樂音講述故事。他曾說過，中國音樂要承載人文精神的“共同
理念”，才能被世界認可。
　　楊麗萍，舞蹈家
　　楊麗萍熱愛舞蹈。1986年，她憑借《雀之靈》在全國舞蹈大賽上
折桂。此后，她成為家喻戶曉的“孔雀公主”，她的許多著名舞蹈作品
的靈感都來源于她在云南西雙版納度過的一段時光。
　　楊麗萍說：“我很感激在西雙版納的那些年，它讓我有機會深入
到各個民族的生活里面……我們的少數民族，尤其是傣族人民，特別
喜愛孔雀。他們認為孔雀展現了自然之美。我特別喜歡傣族人的舞蹈
風格，這給了我很多靈感。我的舞蹈源自他們的傳統信仰，同時也致
力于展現傣族女性的美。”

　　Claude Monet， Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci ...the art
world has never been short of talent.And now， a new painter is ready
to join the list， although this one isn’t even a human.
　　Next month， the auction house Christie’s Prints and Multiples
will make history by offering the first piece of artwork created by
artificial intelligence （AI） for sale.The painting is a portrait of a
man called Edmond de Belamy.The work， which features a man with
a mysterious look on his face， was created by software developed by
the French art group Obvious.
　　Nicolas Laugero Lasserre， an art collector， called the work
“strange and amazing at the same time”.This isn’t the first example of
AI-produced artwork， as AI has already been used to write poems
and compose songs.However， many people doubt whether it should
be called art.According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy， art is about
creating emotion.He once said that art is a means of joining people of
the same feelings together.
　　So， if the emotion behind art is what makes it， the ability to
create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other
species.And as a tool itself， the AI technology used to create the
portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several
designers.Together， they “fed” the AI a huge collection of paintings
from the 14th to the 18th centuries， until it was able to work out how
to make similar paintings of its own.
　　The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic
movement.However， not everyone is ready to welcome these high-
tech artists just yet.“The human mind is what’s behind the AI
technology.And the human mind is not a cold， hard fact，” said
Oscar Schwartz， a researcher and writer.“Rather， it is something
that’s created with our opinions and something that changes over
time.”

　　Many older people around the world have at least one common
concern： how to get younger people hooked on their electronic
devices interested in classic literature？ Take the Monkey King， or
Sun Wukong， as an example.The main character in the 16th-century
classic novel， Journey to the West， is a romantic figure of bravery
and adventure that fascinated millions of readers before the
appearance of online attractions.
　　Havoc in Heaven， a new Peking Opera film， attracted the
wider public to the charm of the traditional Chinese performance
art， featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the
West.This film， expected to create a new channel to promote Peking
Opera， includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera.It
covers all the basic techniques， more than 10 classic tunes， and
make-up for dozens of facial representations of different figures’
characteristics.
　　It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film，
each of which has its own rhythm， according to Cheng Lu， director
of the film， who is adopting a fresh approach to present the
traditional art form.One challenge that Cheng and his production
team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the
fundamentals of the art.The basic principles and performance skills in
Peking Opera cannot be changed.
　　Some background images on stage， such as a painted waterfall，
remain， and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the
film， rather than employing the pre-recorded music.“If we change
traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film，
it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art，” Cheng said.
　　On the other hand， some creativity was needed because Cheng
and his team did not just want to document a stage
puter technology is also applied to achieve some
visual effects and to present impossible scenes.
　　Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and
1970s， but they gave way to more diverse entertainment.In recent
years， there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera
films.However， the overuse of special effects in many film
adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of
the stage performances.The imagination （enabled by the stage） can
never be sacrificed for a film’s expression.

　　Girl with a Pearl Earring has been part of the Mauritshuis’
collection in the Hague since 1902 and is still on display at the
museum.Rumours （謠言） have surrounded Johannes Vermeer’s
work ever since it was rediscovered in the late 19th century， and this
painting still continues to generate interest， debate and imagination.
　　Although Vermeer was among the most successful artists working
in Delft during the 17th century， he was almost completely forgotten
after his death in 1675.Even during his lifetime， Vermeer’s influence
was mainly limited to Delft where he earned a reasonable living as a
painter and art dealer.What’s more， Vermeer’s name is rarely
mentioned in historical records and he left behind barely any other
documents about his career or personal history.
　　Very little is known about Girl with a Pearl Earring.However， art
historians have decided several important facts about the
painting.Recent research suggests that the black， negative space
behind Vermeer’s model was originally painted dark green.
　　Much like other artists of his time， Vermeer enjoyed painting
figures dressed in Middle Eastern clothes.As his model is dressed in a
turban （女用頭巾）， many art historians argue that the Vermeer’s
painting shouldn’t be considered as a portrait （肖像畫） at
all.Instead， most scholars agree that Girl with a Pearl Earring belongs
to a kind of painting called Tronie that began in the Low Countries
around Vermeer’s time.This type of artwork often portrays （描繪）
characters rather than actual people.It portrays a certain type of
character； in this case a girl in fanciful dress， wearing an oriental
turban and an improbably large pearl in her ear.
　　It is interesting to note that the painting was known as Girl with
Turban or simply Young Girl for most of its existence and only received
its current name less than a century ago.While it is impossible to
identify Vermeer’s model， due to a complete lack of evidence， he
may have asked one of his seven daughters to sit for the painting.

9. What do we learn about Johannes Vermeer when he was alive？
A. He lived a very hard life.
B. He wasn’t a gifted artist.
C. He liked writing about himself.
D. He wasn’t much known out of his city.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第二段中的Even during his lifetime，
Vermeer’s influence was mainly limited to Delft where he earned a
reasonable living as a painter and art dealer.可知，在Johannes
Vermeer活著的時候，他在他的城市之外并不出名。
10. What made some scholars regard Girl with a Pearl Earring as a
work of Tronie？
A. The girl’s special expression.
B. The girl’s unusual dressing.
C. The model’s unclear gesture.
D. The model’s background painting.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第四段內容可知，和他那個時代的其
他藝術家一樣，Vermeer喜歡畫穿著中東服裝的人物。由于他的模
特戴著頭巾，許多藝術歷史學家認為Vermeer的畫根本不應該被視
為肖像畫。相反，大多數學者認為《戴珍珠耳環的少女》屬于一
種叫Tronie的畫。由此可知，女孩不尋常的著裝使一些學者認為
《戴珍珠耳環的少女》屬于Tronie。
11. What can we know about the painting from the last paragraph？
A. Its model remains mysterious.
B. Its name is still controversial.
C. It was severely damaged a century ago.
D. It was inspired by a daughter of the artist.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的While it is impossible
to identify Vermeer’s model， due to a complete lack of evidence，
he may have asked one of his seven daughters to sit for the
painting.可知，這幅畫的模特仍然很神秘。
12. What would be the best title for the text？
A. Life experiences of Johannes Vermeer
B. The model of Girl with a Pearl Earring
C. The story behind Girl with a Pearl Earring
D. Characteristics of Johannes Vermeer’s painting
解析：　標題歸納題。根據第一段內容可知，自1902年以
來，《戴珍珠耳環的少女》一直是莫瑞泰斯在海牙的收藏品，
現在仍在該博物館展出。自從Johannes Vermeer的作品在19世
紀末被重新發現以來，圍繞著它的流言不斷，這幅畫至今仍在
繼續引起人們的興趣、爭論和想象。由此可知，下文主要講述
了《戴珍珠耳環的少女》這幅畫背后的故事。因此這篇文章最
好的標題是D項。

　　We need art in our homes.Here are four reasons you should know
about art.
　　Art breathes life into a home.
　　Your home is “your place”， and that’s why decorating it to your
liking is so important.
　　 　13　 And， surrounding yourself with art you love will help
you enjoy where you spend a majority of your time.
　　Plus， from a functional design standpoint， art acts as a focal
point， makes a room appear finished， and immediately shows off
your interests and ideals to visitors. 　14　
　　Art lets you express yourself and encourages dialogue.
　　Without needing words， art can be the perfect way to express
who you are to both yourself and others.Why？ 　15　 And， when
you love a piece enough to hang it on your wall， that story speaks
volumes about you.
　　Whether it’s your personality or what you value in life， art can
be the perfect translator.This lets you form deeper connections with
those who come into your home.
　　Art reminds us of what is possible.
　　 　16　 That’s why we follow Instagram accounts of artists.It is
inspiring to see someone both creating and devoting their time to what
gives them the most joy in life.By pursuing these passions， they
inspire us to do the same.
　　　 　17　
　A piece of art can produce powerful emotions when we look at
it.Art can cheer us up after a bad day， make us remember， or
inspire us to do more in life.It can provide comfort that we are not the
only ones feeling a certain way.It also provides a reflection back to us
that enables us to chew on our own reactions， emotions， and
thoughts.
A. Art tells a story.
B. Art also opens us up to criticism.
C. Art helps us recognize our emotions.
D. You need to feel comfortable in your space.
E. Seeing other people do what they love is inspiring.
F. An artwork serves as a reminder that we should question our habits.
G. By choosing to live with art， you are choosing to bring more life
into your home.
