Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes that the public will listen and understand-he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain. Because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and rest; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide interesting pattern, and that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses of paint an ugly leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something emphasizing something –all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.

Directions: The task is the same as Task1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. Leisure sickness is one of those modern conditions. How do you know if you have been struck down with leisure sickness? Were you struck down by some mystery illness just before setting off on a two-week holiday? If it is really the case, chances are you have leisure sickness. A Dutch psychologist(荷兰心理学家) identified the condition. He started researching the subject after he become curious about his own pattern of illness. “If I am ill, then it’s at the weekend or at Christmas. Then I heard stories from friends who all said the same thing.” He surveyed around 2000 men and women and estimated that about 3% of the population may suffer from weekend or vacation sickness. In a further in-depth study of 114 Dutch sufferers, he found that the most frequently reported symptoms included headaches, fatigue, muscular(肌肉) pain and, particularly in relation to vacation. Most of them had been suffering from leisure sickness for over 10 years and associated the beginning of the illness with a major life event, such as marriage, birth of a first child or a change of job. Many shared certain characteristics-a high workload, perfectionism(追求完美), eagerness to achieve and an overdeveloped sense of responsibility, making it difficult for them to switch off outside of work. According to him, there are a number of possible explanations for the condition. “One possibility is a kind of competition between information from the outside world-external information-and information from the body-internal information.”

There are some steps you can take to avoid catching a cold. Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses in the body, and you are better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a cozy room, surrounded by friends, or fellow students, who just may be sick. A chill is an early sign of illness. It’s the cold that caused the chill, not the other way around. While the virus can spread through droplets(微滴)propelled into the air when a cold sufferer coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏), surprisingly, this is not the most common route of transmission. Numerous studies have now shown that the majority of colds are caught by hand contact. Cold viruses also can be transferred to objects-telephones, towels, plates- and remain infectious for up to three hours. Frequently hand-washing on the part of the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the family will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.
