阅读理解ThesummerIwasten,mymotherdecided

阅读理解The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool? First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art. On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn't stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much1.The aim of the mother’s plan was to _________A.take them to visit the museumB.introduce them to the world of artC.ask them to read about artistsD.show them different painting styles2.What was the writer’s experience in the museum before the last visit?A.She came to feel her mother’s loveB.She liked many paintingsC.She hardly enjoyed herselfD.She could understand the pictures of fat babies3.What made the writer go through a change that summer?A.One of Mary's paintingsB.A strange way of paintingC.Artists in the Middle AgesD.Her mother’s instruction4.From the text, we can see _________A.the importance of curiosityB.the effect of artC.the value of learningD.the power of family education5.The writer and her brother had thought that they could ___________ in their summer vacationA.visit some art museumsB.go to Egypt for a visitC.take drawing or painting classesD.play with their friends
