A cute white cat peeks out of a hole with only its head visible. A long-eared rabbit licks its lips while looking up at a carrot. These aren’t real scenes in a natural park. Instead, they’re paintings in tree holes on a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province. Hundreds of people are visiting the artistic road to take photos of the new paintings.

The creator of these eye-catching paintings is Wang Yue, 23. She describes her tree hole paintings as “a beautiful journey” through which she adds fun and vitality (活力) to her hometown.

“When I saw the trees by the roadside had lost all their leaves, and the ugly tree holes became obvious, I thought that if I could paint some interesting scenes in these holes they might add some color to the city,” said Wang Yue.

But Wang was worried that her watercolor paints could hurt the trees. When Wang got permission from city officials, she gathered her color palette, brushes and a stool and got to work.

Her first painting was of rosy clouds, but many passers-by couldn’t understand it. “Perhaps it was too abstract,” said Wang Yue. After that, she began to paint animals. Using her paintbrush she creatively placed a raccoon(浣熊), a squirrel and a cat in the holes.

Wang’s friends shared her works on their micro blogs and she became a hit. Her next aim is to tell stories rather than painting individual animals. “I was glad to let people see life’s beauty. I hope more artists can join me in painting the tree holes,” she said.

1.Why did Wang Yue begin to create paintings in the tree holes?

A. To practice painting and have fun.

B. To prevent the tree leaves from falling.

C. To have passers-by take photos of her paintings.

D. To make the city more colorful and lively.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Wang’s first painting hurt the trees and city officials stopped her work.

B. Wang’s first painting wasn’t popular because she wasn’t skillful then.

C. Wang became successful partly because of her friends’ micro blogs.

D. Wang would continue to centre her works on individual animals.

【小3】Which is the best title for the text?

A. Paintings in Tree Holes Become Popular.

B. Paintings Bring Grey Road to Life.

C. Wang Yue---A Girl Who Has Become a Hit.

D. Join in Painting the Tree Holes!
