26、 Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.
The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged (蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.
The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.
In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.
In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape (风景) painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.
【1】How did Benjamin get the brushes at first?
A.He cut a camel’s air. B.He cut some fur from a cat.

27、Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
【1】Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?

“Jawline,” Reviewed: A Chilling look at the making of a Teen Influencer
Liza Mandelup, the director of “Jawline” a new documentary about the teen- influencer, has said that she filmed for a year before she found her 【1】, Austyn Tester. He curls around his cats, who sometimes slink into the 【2】 as he broadcasts on YouNow, a platform for real-time, chat-based live streaming. “Broadcasting”is what YouNow calls it, and so does Austyn, his voice puffing up to meet the importance of the word--his vocation in life. He’s set up a rig in his small bedroom, where he records himself 【3】 to a small number of viewers, mostly teen-age girls he barely knows. On the Web site’s dash, we can see that he is 【4】 at No 28 under the hashtag guys. The conversations are plain, adorably ordinary. In an early scene in the film, he apologizes for a minor problem in his 【5】. “I know I need to get better Wi-Fi.”
Tester lives in Kingsport, Tennessee, with his mother and his brother. They don’t have money. Tester’s father is absent; when he was around, the family says, he was a(n) 【6】 and was physically abusive. Tester’s brother, Donovan, is 【7】 of his sibling’s dreams, which will make him known around the world. For what? For being famous. For being positive. Social-media 【8】 has been engineered such that the path to fame requires only the 【9】 of fame. “When you become famous, you have a lot of people who look up to you,” Tester says. On YouNow, he is a telegenic preacher, a philosopher of cliched words, delivering himself to his small flock of followers. Both parties are prey to a decentralized economy that has monetized teen-age anxiety, 【10】 and general fragility. In such a tempest, they are making each other feel seen. Remember: storms don’t last forever, Tester promises. “Whatever you’ re going through, it’s not going to last forever.”
