6 . Do you think cookies can tell stories? Jasmine Cho, 35, does.

A baker, artist, entrepreneur and activist, Cho tries to spread knowledge about social justice issues and diversity through the delicious medium of cookies.

It was in high school that she discovered her love of baking. At a sleepover a friend taught her how to make a dessert, “sort of demystifying baking and that whole process”.

Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian, American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness…” Cho said.

Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies?”

One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s.

“It’s insane the amount of injustice that the native Hawaiian population has faced as well through the whole annexation (吞并) of the kingdom. There were so many horrific stories that I heard about nuclear testing and the fallout (核爆炸后的沉降物) impacting native Hawaiian populations in all of this,” Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.”

Among her amazing cookie art are other political figures such as Larry Itliong, a Filipino-American labor organizer, and pop culture figures such as Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor.

Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively.

“Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.”

1. What inspired Cho to take an interest in Asian-American culture?

A．One of her sleepover experiences.

B．One elective course she took at college.

C．The process of learning baking from her friend.

D．A book she read about Asian-American immigrant experiences.

2. Why does Cho think cookies are a useful tool to promote Asian-American culture?

A．Cookies don’t cost much.	B．Cookies are easier to make.
C．Cookies have different images.	D．Cookies are favored by many people.

3. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning George Helm in the passage?

A．To show what Cho focuses on with her cookies.

B．To introduce the spirituality of native Hawaiians.

C．To explain why Cho is interested in political activists.

D．To inform the reader of Helm’s contributions to Hawaii.

4. What does the author want to convey in the passage?

A．Hold your horses for a better self.

B．Think outside the box to break new ground.

C．Spread something original to one’s heart content.

D．Throw yourself into your inner world for a better one.

7 . Want to explore new cultures, meet new people and engage in meaningful pursuits? You can do all the three with Global Development Association (GDA). No matter what life stage you’re at, wherever you go, and whatever project you undertake with us, you’ll create positive changes in a poor and remote community.

We welcome volunteers from all walks of life and backgrounds. While the majority of our volunteers are between the ages of 17 and 24, we’re currently in need of volunteer managers aged 25to 75, who play a very important role in the safe and effective operation of our programs. Our positions include project managers, mountain leaders, and communication officers.

Your chosen role could vary from enhancing a community’s access to clean drinking water to preserving valuable local cultures. Or perhaps you might design adventure challenges to train our young volunteers.

Not only will you be aiding the personal growth of our young volunteers, but you’ll also be picking up new skills and expanding your cultural insights. You’ll likely meet individuals who could become lifelong friends.

This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programmes:

9 . What is Western art? It is hard to give a precise definition. So let’s look at the development of Western painting over the centuries.

The Middle Ages (from the 5th to the 15th century)

During the Middle Ages, the purpose of Western art was to teach people about Christianity. Thus, artists were not interested in painting realistic scenes. Their works were often primitive and two-dimensional, and the main characters were often made much larger than everyone else to show their importance. This began to change in the 13th century with Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337). While his paintings still had religious themes, they showed real people in a real environment. In particular, his paintings are set apart from other paintings by their realistic human faces and deep emotional impact.

The Renaissance (from the 14th to the 17th century)

New ideas and values gradually replaced old ones from the Middle Ages. As a result, painters concentrated less on religious themes. They began to adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. An important breakthrough during this period was the use of perspective by Masaccio (1401-1428). Another innovation was the use of oil paints. With their deep colours and realism, some of the best oil paintings look like photographs. In subject matter, the emphasis increasingly shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us.

Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century)

The development of Western art slowed until the invention of photography in the mid- 19th century. After that, paintings were no longer needed to preserve what people and the world looked like. Hence, painters had to find a new way of looking at their art. From this, Impressionism emerged in France. The name of this new movement came from the painting by Claude Monet (1840-1926) called Impression, Sunrise.

Modern Art (from the 20th century to today)

After Impressionism, subsequent artists began to ask, “What do we do next?” Painters such as Picasso (1881-1973) tried to analyse the shapes which existed in the natural world but in a new way, with Cubism. Others gave their paintings a realistic but dream-like quality. Still others turned to abstract art. What they attempted to do was no longer show reality, but instead to ask the question, “What is art? ”

1. What set Giotto di Bondone’s paintings apart from other paintings?

A．His paintings mainly showed religious themes.

B．His paintings showed real people in a real environment.

C．His paintings were to convey the light and movement in the scene.

2. Which wasn’t the change in paintings during the Renaissance?

B．The use of oil paints.

C．The subjects focused more on people and the world.

D．The subjects focused more on religious themes.

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A．The painters were interested in painting something indoors all the time.

B．The painting named Sunrise was a masterpiece of Impressionism.

C．The paintings of all the impressionists were cold.

D．All artists were well aware what they would do next after Impressionism.
