not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the fine arts museum.before each visit to the museum，she made us read about artists and painting styles(风格)it was almost as bad as being in school.who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?first，we had to read about ancient egyptians(古埃及人)and their strange way of painting faces and then went to look at them at the museum.my 12yearold brother thought this was so funny，but i was not interested.later，we had to learn about artists in the middle ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing.we had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly(卷曲的)hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings.i certainly couldnt see what was so great about art.on our last visit to the museum，something happened when i saw a painting by a woman called mary.in it，a woman was reading to a child.the colors were soft and gentle，and you could tell by the mothers expression how happy she was just to be with the child.i couldnt stop looking at this painting！i wanted to see every painting mary had ever made！it was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.【解题导语】本文讲述了妈妈带领“我”和哥哥到艺术博物馆看画展的故事。1the aim of the mothers plan was

accessories(配饰)yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies.a generation which would once only wear oldfashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.professor julia twigg，a social policy expert，said，“women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s.in the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter.it was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four yearsnow you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to.fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly.”professor twigg analyzed family expending(支出)data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the sameand 5 or 6 percent of spendingthe amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.the professor said，“clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the far east.in the 1960s leeds was the heart of the british fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from，but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere.everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”fashion designer angela barnard，who runs her own fashion business in london，said older women were much more affected by celebrity(名流)style than in previous years.she said，“when people see stars such as judi dench and helen mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties，they want to follow them.older women are much more aware of celebrities.theres also the boom in tv programmes showing people how they can change their look，and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties.when i started my business a few years ago，my older customers tended to be very rich，but now they are what i would call ordinary women.my own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago.”【解题导语】本文探讨年迈的英国女性购置服饰追赶时尚背后的原因。属于时文阅读。5professor twigg found that，compared with the 1960s，_.athe price of clothes
