It was the first day of class. Two of her new ESL (English as a Second Language) classmates wanted to know where Tara was from. They were both from Korea. Because Tara looked Korean, one of the women asked Tara, in English, if she was from Korea. Tara replied, "No, I'm not." Then the women took turns asking Tara if she was from Japan, or Thailand, or China. To each question, Tara answered them a simple no. Laughing, one woman said to the other, "She's not from anywhere!" The two went to their desks, talking to each other in Korean.

The next day, the teacher divided the students into groups of four. The students in each group asked introductory(介紹的)questions of each other. A student in Tara's group asked her, "Where are you from?" Tara answered that she was from Korea. The two women who had questioned Tara the day before were sitting only a few feet away. Both of them heard Tara's answer.

"Aha!" they both exclaimed, "You ARE from Korea!" Tara smiled and said yes. Then she apologized(道歉)to both of them for lying the day before. She told them that she had not wanted to get into a Korean conversation with them. It had been her experience that many ESL students continued to speak their mother language in ESL class, and Tara had not come to ESL class to practice her Korean. In her opinion， ESL students should try to speak English only.

"I agree." said Rose.

"You're 100 percent right." agreed Jenny, "Rose and I must stop speaking Korean to each other. Right，Rose?" Rose nodded，and then said something in Korean. All three women laughed.

The next half a year, Tara became friendly with both women, although she never spoke a word of Korean to them during class or break.

What do you see when look at abstract (抽象) art? Does it look like anything?

Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt(雕刻) things exactly like they looked. They didn’t want their art to be realistic. They were more interested in basic shapes and colors.

Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colors (his “blue period”). Later he used more red and pink colors (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, Picasso’s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original; many of other artists didn’t understand it.

Kandinsky, another famous artist, used shapes to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colors to express feelings.

Other artists, like surrealists (超現(xiàn)實(shí)主義者), were interested in the subconscious (潛意識(shí)). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their works. The meaning or subject of their work wasn’t always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.

There are still many abstract artists around the world. It’s often hard to say what their art is about. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

A. A painting of a house.

A. It became less original.

B. It became more abstract.

A. By using colors and shapes.

B. By painting with a lot of symbols.

C. By painting realistic people.

D. By painting in red and pink colors.

4.Who is probably the most famous abstract artist?

A. Picasso. B. Dali. C. Breton. D. Magritte.

5.Which of the following is NOT true?
