　　Passage One

　　Questions 21 t0 25 are based on the following passage.

　　Parents can have a great impact on the development of their children's creativity in art. But first, they have to know how. They may find the following advice interesting and instructive.

　　Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books. Coloring books stop the possibility of self expression. A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to express himself. As an art teacher says, "Children have a very powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly. Such practice makes them learn language easily. " In fact, a child expresses himself in rough drawing. This is the beginning of literacy and creativity. Also, parents should not teach their kids "how" to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to entertain themselves. Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children, making them think they can't do it the " right " way.

　　Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation. A child's natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize while drawing.

　　Parents should be role models for their kids. They should not say things like, "I can't draw a straight line. "Instead, they should learn to say, "I love to create. " This teaches children that the process of creation is more important than the product. If children see their parents drawing, cooking or building creatively, they will do the same.

　　Buy a notebook for your child to use every day. This can be a journal for making up stories, writing ideas and drawing pictures. Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly, expressing himself.

　　Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity. Art museums, science centers, libraries and children's museums all are great places to see other people's creativity. That will inspire :children to make their own creations and inventions.

　　Give children choices and free time. Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining.

　　In short, parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves. That means not always teaching and commanding.

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 26 t0 30 are based on the following passage.

　　Yoshio and Hiromi Tanaka are a young Japanese couple living in the USA while Yoshio studies electrical engineering. They clearly love each other very deeply, but, says Yoshio," We didn't marry for love in the Western sense. We got married in the time-honored Japanese way. Our parents arranged our marriage through a matchmaker. In Japan we believe that marriage is something that affects the whole family, not just the young; couple concerned. So we think it is very important to match people according to their social background, education and so on. Matchmakers are usually middle-aged women who keep lists of suitable young people with information about their families, education and interests. When our parents thought it was time for us to get married they went to a local match-maker and asked her for some suggestions. We discussed the details and looked at the photos she sent, and then our parents asked her to arrange a ' marriage interview' for the two of us. "

　　A Japanese marriage interview is held in a public place, such as a hotel or restaurant ,and is at-tended by the boy and the girl, their parents and the matchmaker. Information about the couple and their families is exchanged over a cup of tea and a meal. Then the boy and the girl are left alone for a short time to know each other. When they return home they have to tell the matchmaker whether they want to meet again or not. If both of them want a second meeting, the matchmaker arranges it, and after that they can decide whether to carry on the courtship themselves. Here Hiromi said with a gentle smile, "Not so long ago, the girl could never refuse to go out again with a boy who liked her, but now she can. I thought Yoshio was really nice, so I didn't refuse. " '

　　Yoshio continued: "When our parents realized we were serious about each other, they started to make arrangements for our wedding. My family paid the ' Yuino' money to Hiromi' s. This money is to help pay for the wedding ceremony and for setting up house afterwards. We also gave her family a beautiful moment to put in the best room of their house, so everyone knew that Hiromi was going to marry. Six months after our first meeting we were married.

　　Passage Three

　　Questions 31 t0 35 are based on the following passage.

　　I met him on the Internet and we chatted for several months. Every time I suggested we meet in person, he would come up with an excuse. I thought it was strange-but he told me that he had not gotten over the death of his wife and he was still grieving for her.

　　I thought that he needed a friend and decided that I could be that friend. We sent cards, exchanged gifts, talked on the phone and I was sure that we would meet someday. I had spoken with his children so I was sure that what he told me was true. I could not wait for the day when we would meet. I was so looking forward to being able to reach out and touch him. To hug him, to hold him and feel his big strong arms around me.

　　After almost two years of time, thousands of dollars on long distance phone calls, I was very frustrated at the endless stream of excuses as to why we could never seem to make a time to meet.-Finally, I contacted the website WhoisHe. com and asked if they could check out the man who had taken up so much of my heart, my energy and my life. I had enough information about him and felt that if I could confirm what he had been telling me-I could feel okay about these delays. I had hopes that I didn't want to dash if he was telling the truth. I believed I could wait a little

　　while longer. .

　　Well, I am glad that I decided to have him checked out-he was nothing he claimed to be. He was first and foremost a married man. He was not a man grieving for the loss of his wife. He was a man cheating on his wife, with me-ankle I found out later, with countless others on the "net". He did not care that he had hurt me in a very deep and pathetic way. He talked of spending his life together with me. He told my son that he wanted to make me happy. Basically, he just lied. He was such a good liar that l did not see it coming. It was as if he had been able to worm his way into my heart-and he didn't care about the effect he had on my hopes and dreams.

　　Each of us should look at the signs that are so clear if we are willing to see them. Do 'not let someone keep making excuse after excuse. lf something feels wrong-likely it is. It is good to know the truth and be able to deal with it. Next time I will pay more attention. I may never be able to trust someone online again.

　　A. the man was a single person in reality
