animals and other figures on the walls of caves by mixing the natural colors found in the earth with water.fresco(壁画), one of the greatest of all art forms, is done with watercolor. it is created by mixing paints and water and applying these to wet plaster(灰泥). of the thousands of people who stand under michelangelos heroic ceiling in the sistine chapel, very few know that they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.the invention of oil painting by the flemish masters in the fifteenth century made fresco painting go down-hill, and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly for doing sketches(素描) or as a tool for study. it was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that english painters put back watercolor as a serious art form. the english have a widely-known love for the outdoors and also small, private pictures. the softness of watercolor had a remarkably strong attraction for them.the popularity of watercolor continued to grow until in the twentieth century. the united states passed england as the center for watercolor, producing such well-known watercolor artists as thomas eakins and andrew wyeth.1what is

and travel in great crowds when out flying. a group will live in one place for years. sometimes several hundreds of them occupy a single tree. as they return to the tree towards sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight. flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. at first the mother has to carry the baby on her chest wherever she goes. later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. sometimes a baby bat falls to the ground. then the older ones fly down and try to pick it up. if they fail to do so, it will die. often hundreds of baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of the tree. 1the passage tells us that there is no difference between the flying fox and the ordinary
