What can you do to help yourself get out of stress or worry? If you’re an artist, you keep making art．And if you have never considered yourself an artist, now is the time to take up an artistic hobby such as drawing or painting．It is never too late to start．Everyone can do it．If you can hold a brush or crayon, you can create art.

Creating art heals（治愈）not only the mind and spirit but also the body since all of these are connected．As you draw or paint,  your breathing slows, your blood pressure lowers, and your mind lets go of daily problems．This slowing down allows you to fully experience the moment.The process not only relaxes you but also brings a feeling of joy, increasing your energy and enthusiasm （热情）for life.

Making art also allows you to play, freeing you to find out and try out new materials and methods．It also lets you express pleasure by seeing beauty where others may not．Creating art provides you a special chance to express your anger or upset, as well as your personal ideas.

Although the process of making art is the most important part, your finished product is significant too.Your painting or drawing will remind you of the lessons you learned while making it, and you may feel energetic just by looking at it.

If you don’t know how to begin, here are some ways to start creating art．If possible, set aside a small table with your brushes and watercolors so you can get creative whenever you get inspiration．Without thinking much about it, just choose colors that you like and start painting with them, or cut pictures with those colors out of magazines and glue them down, combining（结合）them with paints．The act of enjoying the colors and working on the color combinations will give you something to focus on instead of the stresses of your daily life.

26．What do you need to do if you start making art according to Paragraph 1?

A．Ask a teacher for help.

B．Start as early as possible.

C．Be a young artist first.

D．Just have a brush or crayon.

27．What can you learn about making art from Paragraphs 2 and 3?

A．It is good for our health.

B．It causes high blood pressure．

C．It’s like playing games.

D．It helps us solve daily problems.

A．Expensive.             B．Useless.                  C．Important.              D．Unexpected.

29．Which of the following is NOT true about how to start making art?

A．You must be very careful while choosing colors.

B．You can begin painting whenever you get inspired.

C．You can get brushes and watercolors for preparation.

四、阅读填表（每小题2分，共10分）

The folk art form, kuaiban, which has a long history, can be performed by a group or a single person．With one or two pairs of bamboo clappers—a kind of traditional Chinese musical instrument in their hands, the performers tell stories in the local dialect(方言)．These stories are usually folk tales or about social life．

Recently, Liu Jiming and Wan Yifu made and shared three short videos by using kuaiban which were viewed about 4 million times．As a result, Liu and Wan have gained more than 1million followers on the Internet．They’ve created many new works to raise people’s awareness．Some of their works are about the danger of drunken driving and food safety．They also write stories to show respect to people who make contributions, such as traffic policemen.

According to Liu and Wan, people can understand kuaiban pieces without difficulty．The stories told in kuaiban pieces are close to people’s daily lives．Thus, they consider that it is a fun way to introduce the Chinese folk culture through kuaiban．And what matters to them is that both young people and old people begin to know the charm of the art form, kuaiban, which may not be paid much attention to, compared to other traditional art forms.

Folk art forms, like xiangsheng, pingshu and kuaiban, share something in common．These traditional art forms show the beauty and value of traditional Chinese culture so they should be known by more people and get to more areas．Luckily, through the Internet, new performers who go on sharing kuaiban pieces, like Liu and Wan are playing an active role．Hopefully these Chinese folk art forms will be alive with the times.
