Slowly but surely, offices are beginning to reopen. That means, the
work-from-home lifestyle may be coming to a close. Why not spice it up a bit for

San Antonio, Texas
Head deep into the heart of Texas for an enjoyable work-from-home experience
at this 3-bedroom Lavaca cottage. And you’ll find a fully private backyard that

the beach and town within walking distance. Charming Carmel has world-class
restaurants, art galleries and wine tasting rooms. The beloved treat shop is sure
to get your kids on their best behavior!
Scottsdale, Arizona
With over 300 days of sunshine and boundless outdoor activities, Arizona is an
outdoor heaven for all ages. Book this massive 5-bedroom desert house, and spend
days hiking. Then cool off back at home in your private pool overlooking the mountains.
If you’re working from home, you can soak in some pretty evenings and desert sunsets.
When you’re not enjoying a barbecue in the backyard, walk into Scottsdale’s modern
downtown district for dinner.
The Catskills, New York
Surround yourself with nature while you work-from-home at this quiet and private,
4-acre red cottage in the Catskills region. The charming 2-bedroom house has a huge
industrial kitchen, private hot tub and a barbecue. When you have to go back to
civilization, the lovable mountain town of Woodstock is just 10 minutes away.

The next time you’re in a town or city, see if you can spot some street art.
Street art is often displayed on walls or buildings and can be all sorts of things
including murals (large paintings on a wall), stickers and posters. Graffiti(涂
鸦) is similar but it uses words or pictures or both.
It’s important to understand that if you want to do street art in public, such
as on a wall or in a park, you must have permission from whoever owns that space.
You can’t just spray paint on any wall, and you must not create anything that is
rude or that could upset other people.
To get involved, it’s always best to join a street art group or street art
workshop. The artist helping will provide the right paints and protective equipment
(masks, gloves, sheets to cover the ground), and will show you how to plan your art,
how to paint on a large surface and how to make your ideas come to life.
Sophie Wheeler runs Graft, in Bristol, England. Graft holds graffiti and street
art workshops. “Graffiti art is fantastic for kids,” she says. “There are no rules
—you can create whatever patterns, words or characters pop into your imagination.”
If you can’t find an art group, then maybe your school art teachers can help.
They could invite a street artist to visit and do a workshop. If you have a dull,
blank space at school, such as a wall by a playground or a corridor, then why not
suggest a mural? Besides colourful patterns, the artist often wants to create
something to make people think about an issue such as climate change or perhaps to
celebrate the life of a local hero.
The beauty of street art is that it doesn’t have to stay forever; it can be
easily painted over, making a blank space again for new art.
4. What can we learn about graffiti from Paragraph 1?
A. It is the same as murals.
B. It includes stickers and
posters.
C. It only uses pictures.
D. It shares something with other
street art forms.
5. What does the author advise before doing street art?
A. Establishing street art workshops.
B. Selecting public places as you like.
C. Making protective equipment by yourself.
D. Considering the appropriateness of your works.
6. What do Sophie Wheeler’s words mean about graffiti?
A. It is in desperate need of rules.
B. It is limited to certain
patterns.
C. It encourages creativity.
D. It appeals to children only.
7. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. Street art often carries a message.
B. Heroes affect the life of the public greatly.
C. Street art attracts people because it lasts long.
D. Climate change is the hottest topic among street artists.
【答案】4. D
5. D
6. C
7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种街头艺术表现形式——涂鸦,以及它的作用和意
义。
【4 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Street art is often displayed on walls or buildings and
can be all sorts of things including murals (large paintings on a wall), stickers
and posters. Graffiti(涂鸦) is similar but it uses words or pictures or both. (街
头艺术通常展示在墙上或建筑物上,可以是各种各样的东西,包括壁画(墙上的大画)、贴纸
和海报。涂鸦是类似的,但它使用文字或图片,或两者兼有)”可知,涂鸦与其他街头艺术
形式有一些共同点。故选 D 项。
【5 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s important to understand that if you want to do street
art in public, such as on a wall or in a park, you must have permission from whoever
owns that space. You can’t just spray paint on any wall, and you must not create
anything that is rude or that could upset other people.(重要的是要明白,如果你想
在公共场所做街头艺术,比如在墙上或公园里,你必须得到那个空间所有者的许可。你不能
随便在任何墙壁上喷漆,你也不能创造任何粗鲁的东西,或者可能会让别人不高兴的东西)”
可知,做街头艺术,作者建议应当考虑作品的适当性。故选 D 项。
【6 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中 Sophie Wheeler 所说“There are no rules—you can create
whatever patterns, words or characters pop into your imagination. (没有规则——
你可以创造你想象中出现的任何图案、单词或字符)”可知,Sophie Wheeler 认为涂鸦能够
鼓励创造力。故选 C 项。
【7 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Besides colourful patterns, the artist often wants
to create something to make people think about an issue such as climate change or
perhaps to celebrate the life of a local hero. (除了色彩斑斓的图案,艺术家还经常
想创作一些东西,让人们思考气候变化等问题,或者庆祝当地英雄的一生)”可知,街头艺
术通常带有某种主题思想。故选 A 项。
C
I started playing the piano when I was around four years old—that was 15 years
ago!—and since then, the longest I haven’t touched piano keys was probably two
months. This was an enormous amount of devotion to something that I wasn’t even
planning to make money off of—so there must have been something worth holding on
to, right?
The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with music and piano that
I couldn’t bear to let them go. However, it’s a bit more complicated than that.
I struggled a lot with piano. I felt pressure to improve, innovate, and be the best
in order to prove something to others. The seed of my musical interest was grown
with competition and doubt.
It’s difficult to learn to love something that you didn’t choose in the first
place. But somehow, sometime, love grew. And by high school, it was strong enough
that I found the strength to hold on tighter, dig further, and find something of
my own to grow. In a way, I had to start over.
And so, I took a pause. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one
who encouraged me and helped me tunnel into what I loved, not what I was told I should
learn. Anything I had was good enough to be loved.
This summer, I started learning the guitar. I deliberately wanted to learn on
my own—this was just for me, to form a new relationship to music. Even though my
guitar skills are miles lower than my piano skills, I feel I can express myself even
more wholly through strings than keys. There’s just something about doing it all
for myself that has helped me heal the damages to my relationship to music.
The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you
too have learned to hate something you once loved—or something you never chose
—remember that with dedication, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in
its place. There is always time. There is always room.
