【原文】

Aelita Andre, a young artist from Melbourne, Australia, has been described as “the world’s youngest professional artist.” She is known for her special painting style and her young age.

In 2011, when Aelita was only four years old, she held her first paiting show in New York. It contained 24 of her paintings, each on sale for between $4,400 and $10,000.

Aelita showed strong interest in painting when she was only a baby. At that time, she often watched her parents, both artists themselves, work on canvases (畫布) on the floor. When she was only nine months old, Aelita crawled over one of her father’s canvases and began mixing colors--- that’s when she started painting.

Like any child, Aelita can be easily distracted(分散注意力), but her parents say that whenever they put her in front of a canvas, she will always stay focused. It can take her from a few hours to up to a day to finish her artworks.

Now Aelita’s cheapest paintings are selling for more than $3,000 each. She has already made more than $ 100,000 from her art---more money than most professional artists earn in a lifetime.

It’s clear that the little girl has a great talent for painting and she has become the youngest professional painter in the world.

【題目】 Girls have more interest in digital literacy and styles such as Facebook, emails and text messages, while boys are more comfortable with traditional printed media such as comics, manuals(手冊) and newspapers, according to a study published by the National Literacy Trust.

The survey found that girls like to read outside more than boys at all age levels.

Overall, girls like reading better than boys, according to the figures compiled(匯編) by the trust. Boys seldom read books and think it less important to read, while girls have opposite opinions.

Nearly one pupil in four agreed with the statement: “My parents don’t care if I spend any time reading.” Jonathan Douglas, director of the National Literacy Trust, said: “More must be done to help parents realize what a difference reading with their children from a young age can make to their future.” “Parents needed to be told how important their engagement is for a child’s development.”

Cressida Cowell, the author of How to Train Your Dragon and a national literacy ambassador（代表）, said: “Reading a book with a child, even an older child, is one of the most important things a parent can do to develop their child’s literacy（讀寫能力）.

“I like to read a variety of books with my children and I think reading regularly is the key to writing well and broadening(擴(kuò)大) communication skills.”

“Too many boys still seem uninterested in reading, and far, far too many children simply never become readers at all. So we writers and painters and storytellers, and parents and teachers, and publishers and booksellers, must continue to play our part,” said Michael Morpurgo, whose novel War Horse was one of the most popular books.

【1】Which of the following is true?

A.Girls are more interested in reading comics and newspaper.

B.Girls like reading and read more often than boys.

C.Boys like to read emails and text messages.

D.Boys think it important to read books.

【2】Paragraph 4 is mainly about ________.

A.Parents never care about children’s reading.

B.Parents don’t do anything to develop children’s literacy.

C.Parents should spend more time in reading.

D.Parents should be told reading with their children is important.

【3】According to the passage, what is the most important thing for parents to develop children’s literacy?

A.Reading a book with classmatesB.Reading a book alone

C.Reading a book at schoolD.Reading a book with a child

【4】Why Michael Morpurgo ask writers, storytellers, parents and teacher to play their part?

A.Because boys have little time to read.B.Because boys aren’t interested in reading.

C.Because boys are interested in reading novels.D.Because boys like to read War Horse.
