Great painter Salvador Dali once said, “A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.”

These words perfectly describe V Umapathy, an art teacher from Puducherry, India, who instills(灌输) the seeds of

creativity in his students through arts and crafts.

Umapathy makes beautiful crafts out of biodegradable materials like bamboo, dried leaves, seeds, roots,

branches, vegetable waste, and so on. In this way he promotes sustainability in his creations, leaving an everlasting

impact on his students.

While growing up, Umapathy was inspired by his father, a teacher and expert weaver(编织者).

“He spent most of his evenings engaging in weaving. I would observe him and eventually developed an

interest in design, colour, and the art,” recalls Umapathy.

In 2010, Umapathy joined a high school in Puducherry as their art teacher. It took him some time to excite the

interest of the students. He experimented with different arts and crafts using a variety of materials. “One day I

suddenly realized that most of the students at my school weren’t able to afford the materials or equipment to create

craftwork. So I decided to opt for natural materials, which are as good as non-biodegradable materials and easy to

find,” he says.

This move made the students more interested in the craft than before. Under his guidance, the students were

convinced that they could make wonders even out of waste materials. Now the school exhibits over 300 pieces of

artwork on its walls, all created by the students over the years.

Currently, over 20 students have chosen fine arts for their bachelors and are pursuing a career in it. Muruga,

who currently works as a designer, says, “When I expressed my wish to pursue arts after college, Mr. Umapathy

guided me. It was his encouragement and guidance that helped me throughout. Now he still helps me by referring

to my name, whenever there is work or a project.”

24. Which of the following can best describe Umapathy’s craftwork?

A. Abstract. B. Eco-friendly. C. Traditional. D. Fashionable.

25. What did Umapathy often do as a child?

A. He assisted his father in weaving. B. He learned weaving techniques.

C. He collected weaving materials. D. He watched his father weaving.

26. Why did Umapathy choose natural materials?

A. They are freely available.

B. They are perfect for crafts.

C. They can fire students’ imagination.

D. They can raise students’ awareness of recycling.

27. What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A. Muruga is very grateful for Mr. Umapathy’s help.

B. Umapathy is proud of his students’ achievements.

C. Muruga is more famous in the field than his teacher.

D. Umapathy often works with his students in big projects.

Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original

purpose — to make a call? Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its

effects?

“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic. “The reflex( 习惯性动作) of

answering-built so deeply into people who grew up in 20th-century telephonic culture — is gone.

The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: Texting with photos, videos, emojis,

reaction gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.

Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with

multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone

calls.

In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are

automated(自动化的) messages from organizations verifying(核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to

sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6

billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to YouMail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.

As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit? Early

landline phones unified family members, whereas mobile phones isolate(使隔绝) them.

“The shared family phone served as an anchor(给以安全感的物品) for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber

State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About

Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. With smartphones, “we have gained mobility and privacy. But the

value of the home has been diminished, as has its capacity to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps bind

families more closely together,” Fernandez said.

Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone

culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.

28. What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its appeal according to the text?

A. People’s addiction to social media.

B. People’s preference for robocalls.

C. People’s growing need for privacy.

D. People’s wide range of communication choices.

29. What does the underlined word “diminished” in the second-to-last paragraph probably mean?

A. Strengthened. B. Reduced. C. Instructed. D. Inherited.

30. What does Luke Fernandez point out?

A. Smartphones tie families together.

B. Smartphones help people monitor family behavior.

C. The use of mobile phones has affected family bonds.

D. The value of home depends on how phones are used.

31. What does the article mainly talk about?

A. The downfall of traditional telephone culture.

B. The past and future of telephones.

C. The development of communication tools.

D. The relation between phone use and family bonds.
