From Baby’s Doodles (亂涂) to Mother’s Paintings
It all started by accident (偶然) when Eve discovered her mother’s ink pen and loved using it.
Eve’s mother, Ruth is so artistic that she is able to change Eve’s random (隨意的) lines into shapes which are easily recognized (辨認). A random curve (曲線) becomes an elephant’s ear, and crooked (彎曲的) lines become the branches of a tree. Nothing seems to escape her eye — she can see and paint the outline of a woman’s face or the hooked nose of a bird where most people would just see meaningless scratches (亂涂亂畫).
Since then, the mother and daughter have worked together on several quite attractive pieces. The process begins with Eve using a black ink pen to make her “sketches” (草圖). Later, Ruth takes over with her water-colours, quickly turning the doodles into a “grown-up” painting.
“All of the pieces are completed within 30 to 60 minutes, the reason for this is that I don’t want to give myself any room to over analyze (過度分析) or second guess,” Ruth wrote on her blog.
According to Ruth, children can help bring out creativity in adults. “As we get older, we tend to (趨向于) create a box that everything is supposed to fit neatly into. As a child, there is no box. It is just endless freedom to explore any and every possibility of creativity and adventure,” she said. “I feel so blessed that my daughter can remind me once again what it is like to paint like a child.”
1.What does Eve NOT draw using her mother’s ink pen?
A. The Branches of a tree. B. Crooked lines.
C. Meaningless scratches. D. Random lines.
2.What’s the process of Eve’s sketches to her mother’s painting?
① Ruth spends within 30-60 minutes turning doodles into a painting.
② Eve uses a black ink pen to make her sketches.
③ Ruth takes over with her water-colours.
A. ③②① B. ①②③ C. ②③① D. ②①③
3.How does Ruth think of children and adults?

B. Adults are more creative than children.
C. Children tend to over analyze something.

In the 1950s, a female swimming athlete set a goal for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channel before she retired. If she could make it, she would be the first person in the world who did it.
On that day, she jumped into the sea without any hesitation and swam towards the opposite bank.
In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was very tired, she carried on swimming.
But in the end, she gave up. And what she didn't know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank was only I mile away.
Later people asked her about the reason. And she said:"The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the destination which I was so close to."
