Best of British: Artists’ residences

Get up close with the inspiring places Britain’s most vibrant artists called home.

Red House, London

Nothing better represents the commitment of William Morris, the creative genius of interiors (内饰) to beauty

than his striking home in London. From delicate patterns on the doors, to the decorated gardens, the Red House shows

a strong medieval style.

The Mackintosh House, Glasgow

Located on the site of the former home of legendary architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, the

reconstructed Mackintosh House offers a rare insight into their private lives. Furnished with the couple’s own

furniture, everything has been considered in order to recreate the original interior as faithfully as possible.

Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, Cornwall

Though she was born in Yorkshire, British sculptor (雕塑家) Barbara Hepworth moved to Cornwall and stayed

there for the rest of her life. She claimed that there was a quality of inspiration to be drawn from the Cornish skyline

and sea view that she simply couldn’t obtain from the city. It was Hepworth’s wish that her home would be turned

into a museum of her work.

Henry Moore Foundation, Hertfordshire

Sculptor Henry Moore found his Muse in the beautiful Hertfordshire village of Perry Green and created many

of his most famous works there. Unlike traditional galleries, visitors can get close with these impressive structures.

Access to Moore’s home is through guided tours only. Visit on a sunny day, take a picnic, and experience the scenic

village in person!

1. Which residence is influenced by medieval styles?

A. Red House.

B. The Mackintosh House.

C. Henry Moore Foundation.

D. Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden.

2. What do we know about the Mackintosh House?

D. Both sites allow tours accompanied by the guide only.

B

He passed away many years ago. Father of the year (年度最佳父亲), my dad was not. That said, in some

ways, he was a better parent than many dads are today.

He loved to attend my hockey (曲棍球) games. He tied my skates for years when I was young. But he didn’t

go to a single one of the hundreds of soccer games I played as a kid. I didn’t care. All I wanted from my parents

was a ride to the game. I was there to see my friends, not perform for Mom and Dad.

That’s why I don’t understand helicopter parents, the ones who suffer from great guilt and shame if they can’t

make every single piano practice or football game. Your kids probably don’t care. Let them go and have some fun.

All that matters is that you drop them off and pick them up on time. Consistency is king.

Of course, when kids are really young, they want to spend time with you. And they want you, the parent, to be

focused on spending time with them, not checking your phone. “Wherever you are, be there,” said the great Jim

Rohn.

My dad never had a cell phone. He never used the Internet. I don’t even think he ever touched a computer. But

even if he did have a phone, I can’t imagine him checking when we would play catch in the backyard.

He was present. Every day in the summer, right after lunch, we’d play catch. He’d teach me how to throw a

curve ball (曲线球). Sometimes he’d pitch to me, and when he’d hit me with a fastball, he’d say, “That’ll toughen

you up.” We’d play until we lost all of the balls in the garden, not until he was distracted by a cellphone. Jim Rohn

would have approved of his presence, although perhaps not his attitude about fastballs.

4. What’s the author’s attitude towards his father?

A. Ashamed. B. Satisfactory. C. Critical. D. Sympathetic.

5. What do the underlined words “helicopter parents” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. The parents who can fly helicopters.

B. The parents who pick up their kids on time.

C. The parents who enjoy participating in sports.

D. The parents who focus too much on their kids.

6. Why are the great Jim Rohn’s words mentioned in paragraph 4?

A. To tell parents to stop using their cell phones.

B. To tell parents to keep in touch with their kids.

C. To tell parents to value the time with their kids.

D. To tell parents to follow their kids wherever they go.

7. What does the author intend to tell us in the last two paragraphs?

A. His father was low. B. His father was rude.

C. His father was energetic. D. His father was present.

C

Several years ago, I was at a pre-season football practice at a high school where I was working with the team on

a concussion (脑震荡) research project. The players were lined up in two rows facing each other and with little more

instruction from the coach than, “on the whistle, hit the man across from you”, great concern rushed through my

mind.

Professional sports get the lion’s share of attention, but over three million children and teenagers in the United

States play the same game. This directly places concussions as a significant public health concern for all.

However, for decades, concussion has been considered a temporary injury with no long-term consequences.

Many athletes will do just about anything to stay on the field and “play through the pain” as a sign of toughness. In

2005, with the release of the brain tissue pathology (病理学) report of Mike Webster a, a retired National Football

League player, our thinking on concussion began to shift. Since then, public attention has focused on this link between

brain injury and blows to the head. As our understanding of concussion progressed to understanding its significance

as an injury, so too did the development of player equipment.

In the early 1900s football was played without helmets (头盔), but severe injuries, like skull fractures, led to the

occasional use of leather helmets in the 1920s.The first facemask entered the game in the 1950s. Modern helmets use

advanced shell materials, have moveable panels to absorb forces, and multi-layered padding that responds to different

impacts. Companies will continue to improve helmets as new materials become available, guided by the newest

science.

Sports are an important part of a society’s culture and they give millions of children much-needed exercise. Yet,

participation in any sport carries injury risk, and concussion will always be part of that. As those children become

adults and make sport their hobby or even career, ensuring them play safely at all levels is essential.

8. What made the author feel concerned?

A. The coach’s in experience.

B. The physical conflicts among the players.

C. Unawareness of the potential injuries.

D. Unpredictable outcome of the project.

9. What did athletes use to do when meeting with sports-related concussion?

A. They tended to ignore it.

B. They felt scared about it.

C. They quit playing immediately.

D. They refused medical assistance.

10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the helmet?

A. Its gradual improvement.

B. Its widespread influence.

C. The discovery of its new materials.

D. The difficulty of its mass production.

11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Exercise is vital for children.

B. Sports safety can’t be overemphasized.

C. No participation in sports is without injuries.

D. Concussion is the most common injury in sports.

D

What do Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, and Frodo all have in common with the heroes of ancient myths?

Joseph Campbell studied myths from all over the world and published a book called “The Hero with a Thousand

Faces”, retelling dozens of stories and explaining how each represents the mono-myth, or Hero’s Journey. So, what

is the “hero’s journey”?

He thinks of it as a cycle in his book. The journey begins with the hero receiving a mysterious message an

,

invitation, or a challenge. After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure, with some help probably

from someone older, wiser, our hero solves a riddle, slays a monster, escapes from a trap. The hero’s darkest hour

then comes, when he faces death and possibly even dies, only to be reborn. As a result, the hero claims some treasure,

special recognition, or power, which can vary between stories. After all that adventure, the hero returns to his ordinary

world, but upgrades to a new level. Nothing is quite the same once you are a hero.

The Hero’s Journey myth exists in all human cultures and keeps getting updated, because we humans reflect on

our world through symbolic stories of our own lives. You leave your comfort zone, have an experience that transforms

you? and then you recover and do it again. You don’t literally slay dragons or fight Voldemort, but you face problems

just as scary. Joseph Campbell said, “In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek.”

What is the symbolic cave then you fear to enter? Auditions for the school play? Baseball tryouts? The paper

due?

Watch for this formula in books, movies, and TV shows you come across. You will certainly see it again. Also

be sensitive to it in your own life. Listen for your call to adventure. Accept the challenge. Conquer your fear and

claim the treasure you seek. And then, do it all over again.

12. What is the correct order of the following stages of the “Hero’s journey”?

Return to the ordinary world but outgrow his old life.

Receive the call to adventure and assistance from a wiser.

Set out on the adventure and go through a series of tough trials.

Face the life-or-death crisis and be reborn with some special power.

A. B. C. D.

13. Why is Hero’s Journey myth so popular?

A. Because it’s a way to reflect on our world.

B. Because it’s a way to learn about the past.

C. Because these stories are always being updated.

D. Because these stories are part of human culture.

14. Which of the following may the author disagree with?

A. We all need a “cave” to hide in face of danger.

B. Our comfort zone will hinder our development.

C. Difficulties we face tend to be treasures in life.

D. We should overcome our fears faced with danger.

15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. The Hero with a Thousand Faces. B. The Hero’s Journey.

C. How to Conquer Your Fear. D. Be Your Own Hero.
