How to be Cool on Instagram（抓拍神器）
Instagram is a game. Gaining likes and followers is no easy task unless you’re a beauty. But your social media luck is about to change, because a social media talent can help you to step up your Instagram game.
1. Timing is everything
You can’t post photos willy-nilly. So when do you actually post? Sunday evening is “prime time” for likes, because everyone is bored and not doing homework. And it also implies to the real world.
2.
People don’t care how much you’re feeling your look. No one needs to see eight pictures from your date night out. Remember, as my sister recommends, “You can’t give the people too much or they will be over it very quickly.”
3. Selfies（自拍）have strict rules
Basically, don’t just go around throwing up random selfies like the world is ending tomorrow. It’s not a cute look. Here’s what my sister had to say about selfies: Be spontaneous（自然率真）and fun. TBTs (Throwback Thursday) have to actually be TBTs.
4. Putting your account on private is unnecessary
You should set your profile to public because you should have nothing to hide. Also, it gets you more followers, which is what you’re after.
| A．Here’s what to do and, more importantly, what not to do |
| B．Most importantly, have fun and don’t take it too seriously |
| C．Gaining likes and followers is very interesting |
| D．Teenagers are tastemakers |
| E．Don’t post too much |
| F．Don’t be selfish |
| G．You aren’t fooling anyone if you TBT a recent photo |

【推荐1】Have you ever heard that paintings are moved from galleries into a new home — hospitals?
The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.
As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.
These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and dial art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.
A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.
The effect is striking. Now in die corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playfi.il images and restful courtyards.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.

【推荐3】Ancient China produced many types of beautiful works of art. Among them, calligraphy (书法), poetry (诗歌) and painting are the most famous. Often they would be put together in art.These became important starting with the Song dynasty.
Calligraphy is the art of handwriting. In the old times the Chinese considered writing as an important form of art. Calligraphers would practice for years to learn to write perfectly, but with style. Each of the over 40,000 characters (汉字) needed to be written correctly. And each stroke (笔画) in a character had to be written in a certain order.
Poetry is also an important form of art. Great poets were famous all over the country, and all educated people were expected to write poetry. During the Tang dynasty poetry was so important that writing poetry was part of the examinations to become a civil servant (文官)and work for the government.
Chinese painting is often connected with calligraphy. It is one of the oldest artistic traditions in the world. The most traditional way of Chinese painting is known as “national painting” or “native painting” which is quite different from Western painting. People can draw mountains, buildings, birds, trees and water.
