Does it look like anything? Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not .want

15、to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn5t want their art to be realistic(現實). They were more interested in basic shapes and colours. Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (h

16、is “blue period”）. Later，he used more red and pink colours (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist (立體畫派）” because they are made of painted squares. After a long time，Picassos paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His

17、work was so strange that many of his workmates didnt understand it. Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists (超現實主義著)，were interested in subconsciousness (潛

18、意識). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasnt always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams. There are still many abstract artists around the world. Thats the way many artists prefer. They

He presents a program called “News at Ten” every Monday to Friday evenings. Another popular news presenter is Kirsty Young. She has a more modern s

24、tyle of reading the news and, as you can see, she sits on the desk not on a chair! Television news presenters need to have worked as journalists because they have to write most of the news that they read.

25、o be able to read something without looking at it first. They must always keep calm even when there are many changes during the program.

29、autiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you

30、 put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations(祝賀) to you; when you do something wrong, peo

31、ple around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are

32、poor, you can also feel you are very happy, because you have something else that cant be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge(挑戰) yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As
