An art therapist will use art supplies such as chalk and paint to work closely with a patient, helping them better understand themselves through creative means.Art therapy is based on the following principles: The art therapists believe that making art can, in itself, be a great healing process. They also think that art can be a form of symbolic communication, helping people work out their problems symbolically, as is expressed in their art. Based on the belief that the process of making art in and of itself can be healing, art therapy allows more to be expressed than simply words. It is an accessible therapy for those who cannot — or will not —rely on language, either because they are too young, or have some emotional or physical impediments (障碍).It all started in the 1940s, when artists working in some hospitals became aware of the fact that art could be the basis for a strong working relationship between therapists and patients. It is now used not only for people with emotional problems or ment al health problems, but also for “healthy” people who want to express themselves and get to know themselves better through art.People go to an art therapist for a variety of reasons. Some are young children who lack themeans to express themselves properly, and can only do so through art. The trained therapist helps them to better understand the problems they are facing in a relaxed atmosphere that is fun rather than threatening.Others are adults who shy away from open communication, or who simply prefer to show their feelings in an artistic fashion. Rather than deal with problems in a traditional talking therapy, they prefer to talk and create art at the same time, with a qualified therapist who will blend the two activities together for best effect in a safe and comfortable environment.36. According to the passage, what should the people have when receiving art therapy?A. Reputation.B. Concentration.C. Contribution.D. Imagination.37. How many principles is the art therapy based on?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.38. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A. The long history of art therapy.B. The simple process of art therapy.C. The wide application (应用) of art therapy.D. The relationship between therapists and patients.39. How can an art therapist help a young child?A. To explore his hidden feelings.B. To get rid of his shyness.C. To make him more independent.D. To make him aware of his problem.40. We can infer from the passage that an art therapist is good at .A. observing the patients’ behaviorB. making the patients calm downC. discovering the patients’ shortcomingsD. finding special ways to express themselvesBThe Obama administration last week announced a plan to protect Internet users in the United States. The administration has suggested what it calls a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights (《网络用户隐私权利法案》). The bill is meant to give Americans more control over their personal information.President Obama said last Thursd ay, “Never has privacy been more important than today, in the age of Internet, the World Wide Web and smart phones.”Under the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights, Americans would have more control over what personal data companies collect from them and how they use it. It also would require the companies to be more open about their privacy and security policies.Darren Hayes, head of the Computer Information Systems Program at Pace University in New York, says, “Many count ries in Europe and Asia already have online privacy laws in place. I thinkthat, you know, this legislation (法律) is just, it’s long overdue. I think that in its present form it looks very effective and I think that it is a step in the right direction and the average online user does need more control over the use of their information.”Professor Hayes says the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights holds companies like Facebook and Google to a higher level of responsibility. “I think in practical terms it’s going to make online companies more accountable for what they do,” he says.The new measures are part of a larger government effort to improve online privacy. The administration has asked Congress (国会) to pass the legislation in support of the measures. It also wants lawmakers to give the Federal Trade Commission and State Attorneys Generals additional powers to enforce the measures. Professor Hayes says the effectiveness of the bill will depend strongly on that.“What’s also going to be important about this legislation are the penalties (处罚) and f ines,” Professor Hayes adds.Also last week, a group of Internet browser(浏览器) companies agreed to support plans for adding “do-not-track” technology to their web browsers. The group agreed not to use tracking information to search for users who do not wish to be found out. The companies will, however, still collect the information.41.

What attitude does Darren Hayes have towards the bill?A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Aggressive.D. Negative.44. The underlined word “accountable” in Paragraph 5 probably means “”.A. knownB. thankfulC. responsibleD. convenient45. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that .A. Internet companies will not receive any personal informationB.

When I turned seven, my parents made a decision that delighted me beyond measure: they chose to adopt children.It was Christmastime when my two new sisters, aged 6 and 3, arrived from Colombia. When they came, our friends and relatives visited us bringing gifts to welcome them. That evening our guests went home and we were left to ourselves. My sisters and I went to the bedroom we were to share. As we crawled into our beds, our parents came to see each of us, saying goodnight. They whispered (低声地说) to my new sisters, “I love you.”From the beginning these newcomers were like my own flesh and blood. We played and fought and learned just as if we had always been sisters. From the beginn ing we were all my parents’ daughters equally, as they scolded (责备) and encouraged us.Life seemed great. Beneath the surface, however, my parents were struggling with their own problems. They didn’t love each other any more. As we girls were approaching o ur teen years, my parents made an announcement, “We’re getting a divorce.”My sisters had been hurt before. They suffered a lot when their birth mother abandoned (抛弃) them, and none of us understood the depth of their inner pain. It was a pain that now came back.We all struggled during this time. My father remarried and tried to provide some sort of stability (稳定) for us through this new family: another mother, brother and sister. But the relations between my parents and sisters continued to disintegrate. By the time I left for college, there was profound coldness between the family members.During my college years, my outlook on life changed a lot. My sisters also began to reconsider their own lives and make changes that eventually brought us together as a family. We daughters now can understand our parents’ feelings better. They have succeeded in providing us with a foundation of stable love. My mother and father have again become great sources of encouragement for us three sisters. One of my sisters has recently married, and family gatherings are now occasions of happiness.46.
