Eight years ago，I was a busy housewife.My life always revolved (旋转) around my children and husband.I felt my brain was stuck.One day my friend Judy called and told me that she was going to join an oil painting class on Friday evenings.She asked me to join the class together with her.I was hesitant to join her because I had never painted before.Judy encouraged me to join for fun.I finally accepted her invitation.
The first day in the class，we met our teacher，Mr.Chiou，who just came back from France.He showed us a lot of pictures of paintings of famous artists all around the world and told us some stories about art history.He said everyone is an artist.Everyone can draw or paint.Art is a silent language which can express human feelings.
We started to paint the things we liked or hated.We also painted the most beautiful and ugly thing in our minds.When I'm painting，I forget everything that I worry about.Sometimes I even forget the time.
Mr.Chiou not only opened the door of art for me but also gave me a way to broaden my life.I started to borrow art books from the library and visit museums in my free time.I'm not really good at painting，but I certainly enjoy it.
Every painting represents the artist's personality and feeling.For example，when I imitated(模仿) Vincent Van Gogh's painting，I can sense the passion and the energy from his painting.I think this is why，after I started to paint，I felt like my dried－out brain began receiving a new source of refreshing water.

Many scholarships require that you write an essay in order to be considered for the prize money.However，if you're the sort of person that shivers whenever they have to complete a writing assignment，this may not be the best of news.Luckily for you，there is no reason to fear the scholarship essay.The following tips should help you conquer this not－so－easy aspect of the scholarship application process.
You should always outline your essays.This does not just apply to scholarship essays，either.An outline helps lend focus to your thoughts and helps you create a picture of the “whole” that the essay will become.Judges can't stand when your writing is loose，lacks coherence(连贯性) or when you fail to connect your main points.They want to see that you can support your argument well with clear and brief examples and that these examples do，in fact，relate to the topic at hand.
If you have a choice in the topic you get to write about，always try to select something you are personally interested in.Don't write what you think the judges want to hear.This will only amount in an essay that reads like everyone else's，which is not a great way to make yourself stand out.
If you are bored with a topic，then your essay will be boring as well.Make sure your ideas follow a clear and logical path，meaning they are connected well and the transitions(过渡) easily flow from one idea to the next.Likewise，try to stay away from the obvious or the sad story.Yes，college will be a life－changing experience，but can you think of an interesting reason why this is so? And yes，it is terrible that you lost a family member at a young age，but what does it have to do with winning this scholarship? Judges can smell sad stories from a mile away，so only pull at the heartstrings if you have a proper reason for doing so.
5．When writing a scholarship essay，an outline is necessary because it helps you ________．
A．focus on the details of the essay B．think more about the scholarship C．make a picture of the whole essay D．draw much attention from the judges
答案 C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的An outline helps lend focus to your thoughts and helps you create a picture of the “whole” that the essay will become.可知，概要可以使整个文章的主要内容一目了然，也就是说，概要是整篇文章的概述。C为正确选项。]
6．Your essay will be appreciated by judges if it ________．
A．turns out to be loose B．is short of coherence
C．is unable to connect the main points D．supports your argument with brief examples
答案 D [细节判断题。根据第二段第4句Judges can't stand when your writing is loose，lacks coherence(连贯性) or when you fail to connect your main points.可排除A、B、C三个选项；根据第5句They want to see that you can support your argument well with clear and brief examples可知D项正确。] 7．When choosing what to write about，you'd better ________．
A．choose a subject you are personally interested in B．know what the judges' feelings and interests are C．select something that is popular among students D．know what the judges want to hear and know 答案 A [细节理解题。由第三段第一句可知答案。]
8．What is the author's opinion on writing the topic of a scholarship essay?
A．The essay should include the obvious or the sad story. B．You must keep your mind in a clear and logical path. C．You'd better try to put an interesting story in it. D．Try to say as much as you can about your family.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句Make sure your ideas follow a
clear and logical path可知B选项正确。]
Ⅱ.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Habits of happy perfectionists
While it might seem being a perfectionist(完美主义者) would make a person more successful，recent research suggests that isn't always the case.Perfectionism can certainly lead to mental health problems，such as anxiety.Also，because expectations are so high，goals often go unsatisfying.__9__ So what's a perfectionist to do to be happy and healthy?
•__10__ Perfectionists need to be kind to themselves and realize that being perfect doesn't have to be the ultimate goal.They are so busy criticizing themselves they don't realize they can be kind to themselves.The bottom line is to remember you're only human.No one is perfect，everyone makes mistakes.
•Ask for help.__11__ A huge problem that fuels the unhappiness is they are low in self acceptance and accepting others.Asking for help means perfectionists would have to admit that they are not perfect.Once perfectionists ask for help，they open themselves up to realizing that other people are either in the same boat，or able and willing to lend a hand.Either way，they learn they are not alone.
•Look for cheerleaders.This is where friends and family come in.__12__ Experts recommend that loved ones should say something like：“When you make a mistake，I know you feel terrible but that doesn't change how we feel.I still love you if you make a mistake.”
•__13__ Perfectionists often hear criticisms when no comments exist.Experts suggest that perfectionists use their brainpower to consider what criticisms are and how to deal with it.Accept the criticisms and try to correct what is wrong. A．Be kind to yourself. B．Accept that you're human. C．Learn how to deal with criticisms.
D．Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E．Perfectionists are really bad at asking for help.
F．As a result，many perfectionists suffer from low self－esteem. G．They need to remind perfectionists that imperfection is normal. 答案
9．F [根据空格前面的两句内容“完美主义导致心理健康问题；因为期望太高，目标不理想”可知，空格处所填内容应该是完美主义造成的结果，即“许多完美主义者自尊心差”。故选F。]
10．A [根据空格后面的句子Perfectionists need to be kind to themselves...“完美
主义者需要对自己友善……”以及整个段落内容可知，本段主题应该是“对自己友善”。故选A。]
11．E [本段标题为“寻求帮助”。选项E意为“完美主义者不善于寻求帮助”，
符合标题内容。故选E。]
12．G [朋友和家人的作用是来提醒完美主义者不完美是正常的。根据本段标题
和专家推荐的话可知应该选G。]
13．C [本段中的how to deal with it以及最后一句内容可知，本段标题应该是“完
美主义者应该怎样对待批评”。故选C。] Ⅲ.短文改错
