Stage 1 With a 4H pencil, sketch an egg-shape for the head, in three-quarters view. Sketch the neck and shoulders. Add a circle indicating the shoulder joint. Check your proportions with one of the proportioning tools.
Stage 2 Add lines for the upper and lower forearm. For correct proportions, compare the length of the upper and lower arm to the height of the head, using one of the proportioning tools. Sketch lines that to indicate the sides and bottom of the basket. Add lines that indicate the ridges of the hand’s knuckles and thumb. At this stage, the hand should look like a mitten, since the individual fingers are not yet defined.
Stage 3 Sketch in placement lines for the eyes and nose, and add a line for the center of the face. Sketch ellipses for the basket. Then go back and refine the eyes, nose, mouth and eyebrows. Add the individual fingers on the hand.
Stage 4 Sketch the ear and add more definition to the facial features, arm, hand and fingers. Erase any obsolete guideline with a white vinyl eraser.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Bilbao, Spain
Built in 1997, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of the newest in the world. It has transformed the industrial city of Bilbao into a traveler’s desired destination. The beautiful architecture of the museum has provided a dramatic background for movies and commercials.
The Louvre in Paris, France
Probably the most famous Louvre also holds the most famous painting in the world, the “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo da Vinci. Crowds can be found any day surrounding the small, but mysterious painting of the smiling woman. But, the Louvre is much more than a home to the “Mona Lisa”. The Louvre is visited by more people each year than any other museum in the world.
The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, America
Just opened in its new downtown location in 2012, the Barnes Foundation is unique in that it is a completely reproduced display from one man’s private collection. Dr. Albert C. Barnes started collecting art in the early 20th century and collected, among others, the largest number of original Renoir paintings in the world.
The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy
Walking on the marbled floors feels like stepping back in time. The building itself is a beautiful palace-like structure with frescoes (湿壁画) decorating the ceilings and walls. Viewers are bowled over (印象深刻) by the works by Botticelli, such as “The Birth of Venus”. Classic artworks from nearly 1,000 years ago describe religious events of the time.

【推荐3】On average ,Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk , Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.
Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at Facebook puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains , is important for critical (有判断力的)thinking , problem-solving and decision-making.
So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in naure , Strayer claims , helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15,000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore , swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.
Take Carl for example .He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping . He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband and two children . She calls it a “regenerative” experience.
At the University of Utah , David Strayer has studied both short-term and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However ,he found , it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three days in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.
1. What is David Strayer’s opinion ?| A．Americans dislike outdoor activities |
| B．Electronic equipment should be quitted |
| C．New technologies are a double-edged sword |
| D．Electronic equipment brings great convenience |
| A．To try another lifestyle | B．To refresh our brain |
| C．To make better decisions. | D．To play with our family and friends |
| A．Reborn | B．Memorable | C．Remarkable | D．Tiring |

【推荐1】Knoebels
Knoebels is often an award winner for its attractions, but the food is the real star to many. Knoebels prices everything as if the clock had stopped in 1982.You won’t believe the cost of many menu items and will feel charged too much at any theme park that you visit after this one. The park even employs the old-timey ticket system where you pay only for the rides that you want rather than a general admission price.
Kennywood
Kennywood began as a trolley(无轨电车)park, a place where guests were encouraged to visit trolley lines, even on the weekend when the services weren’t needed. These social gatherings involved picnics and various forms of entertainment. Several of the rides today are older than you and possibly even your grandparents.
Luna Park
Luna Park is the home of the Coney Island Cyclone, the greatest roller coaster(过山车)of the early 20th century. You can take a ride on the same roller coaster from the William Taft administration. While New Yorkers of a certain age know this place as Astroland, which operated from 1962 through 2008, the present name is fit for its heritage(遗产)and importance in theme park history.
Hersheypark
Hersheypark has a decided candy emphasis, but you’ll find more than just sweets here. Some of the attractions are very wonderful. Skyrush was one of the first winged coasters on the planet and is still the tallest and fastest ride at the park. In total, the park has 14 roller coasters,15 water rides, and a bunch of attractions that date back 50 years or more.

【推荐2】SO THAT’S WHY WE CALL THAT THAT
In 1997, two smarty-pants, needing a name for their new data-index website, came up with “googol”, which is the number one followed by a hundred zeroes. Perfect! But as they typed Googol into a domain-name search engine, they committed a critical mistake. And the mistake stuck. Don’t believe us? Google it. Meanwhile, here are the stories behind other brand names.
Triscuit ► ELECTRICITY BISCUITS
Triscuit, a snack cracker, is short for “electricity biscuit”, because the first ones were proudly produced with hydro-electric power.
Häagen-Dazs ► NOTHING
Häagen-Dazs is short for... absolutely nothing. Reuben Mattus, who moved to Brooklyn from Poland, created the ice cream company in 1959. He wanted to give his company a Danish-sounding name in honour of Denmark’s reputation during the World War Ⅱ and settled on this nonsense phrase.
Nike ► VICTORY
Nike was named for the Greek goddess of victory. Legend has it that the shoe company’s famous “swoosh” logo represents the fleet-footed goddess’s wings.
Adidas ► ADI DASSLER
Adidas is an abbreviation of “Adi Dassler”, one of two Dassler brothers from Germany who founded competitive shoe empires after the World War Ⅱ (Adi’s brother Rudi founded Puma).
Lego ► PLAY WELL
Lego, a children’s toy that consists of small colored bricks that fit together, is a contraction of the Danish phrase leg godt, meaning “play well”.
