Today, sandpainting, an interesting art, will be introduced to you.Sandpainting is an art of using the sand to make a fixed or unfixed painting. Maybe we all played fixed sandpainting as we were young. We first painted a simple picture, then we brushed glue to the section, and at last we poured colored sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed.Unfixed sandpaintings have a long cultural history around the world. People poured sand on a surface to make paintings or use some tools to draw pictures in the sand directly. They are often temporary(临时的) Different people draw sandpaintings to express different meanings：love of nature, admiration for God or love of beauty.Nowadays, sandpainting becomes a performance art and its popularity has risen. On the stages, sandpainting performers make a series of images by drawing lines and figures in the sand with their fingers and hands. The series of images are used to tell a storyKseniya Simonova, who is from Ukraine, is one of the greatest sandpainting performers in the world. People call her The Lady of the Sand”.Simonova said that she never dreamed shed become a sand artist, and when she began practicing, she nearly gave it up. But she persevered, looking after her baby in the daytime and training every night. You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonova. It is a story about a young couple separated by a war in which the soldier is tragically (悲惨地)killed, but returns in spirit to watch over his wife and child. This performance makes all audience(观众)cryArt is everywhere and is not far away from common people. Art of painting is in our life，even in the sand.16 .

But researchers are beginning to think that our clothing has an equally powerful effect on how we see ourselves.Scientists Adam Galinsky and Hajo Adams report that there is science behind our style. In their research，Galinsky and Adams had some participants(参与者)wear white lab coats similar to the ones scientists or doctors wear. Other participants wore their normal clothes. The participants took a test that surveyed their ability to pay attention. In the experiment，participants saw cards with different-colored words on them. They had to say the color of the word they saw，not the word itself. The people wearing the white lab coats said the correct color of the word more often.Galinsky and Adams think that the white coats made the participants feel more confident and careful. The researchers also believe that other kinds of symbolic clothes can influence the behavior of the people wearing them. A police officers uniform or a judges robe，for example，increases the wearers feelings of power or confidence. And in workplaces that have a dress code，symbolic clothes may also affect how well employees do their jobs.Fashion blogger Jessica Quirk believes that our clothes greatly affect how we feel about ourselves. According to Quirk，There is joy and luck and confidence in what we wear. On her blog called What I wore， Quirk posts a photo of what shes wearing every day. She says that people should pay more attention to what they wear. For example，we should choose a look that makes us feel more creative and happy. One way to do this at work is to dress up for the exciting job we want， she says，not the boring job we have. Another way is to wear special clothes that mean something to us. For example，Quirk wears one special pair of shoes to all her important meetings. They are her lucky shoes.As Quirk points out-and as researchers have discovered-our clothes are like our second skin. The clothes we wear can affect our behavior. They can also tell the world something about us，without us having to say a word.20 . What do you think Paragraph 2 is mostly about?ADescrbing an experiment.BThe opinions of a blogger.CA record of two scientists.DAdvice from two scientists.21 .

What is the main idea of the passage?AThe clothes we wear can affect how we feel.BThe clothes we wear should be symbolic.CThe clothes we wear make us feel more powerful.DThe clothes we wear can affect what others think of us.No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates （估计）suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada. In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have falling eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by peoples attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical problems. Next time you go shopping or to work or to visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or onto buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other problems: prejudice (偏见) can be even harder to break down and ignorance is undoubtedly the greatest problems of all. It is almost impossible for the normal people to fully appreciate what the severely（严重） disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these problems and show that it is the individual person and their ability that count, not their disability.23 .
