For Art Lovers

We Are Water Protectors

Carole Lindstrom, illustrated (加插图) by Michaela Goade

Water is life! The Water Protectors at Standing Rock and beyond have been battling to defend

Mother Earth’s sacred water to honor our ancestors, to provide for our peoples and for future

generations. This picture book — seriously, it’s breathtaking — was written by Carole Lindstrom

of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe and illustrated by Michaela Goade. (For ages 3 to 6)

All Because You Matter

Tami Charles, illustrated by Bryan Collier

From the matter of the universe to Black Lives Matter, this illustrated book pulls together the

real universe to make it clear that its young readers are special beyond belief. Drawing inspiration

from his own grandmother’s clothes-making, Bryan Collier pairs with Tami Charles to deliver an

important message. (For ages 4 to 8)

Honeybee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera (意大利蜂)

Candace Fleming, illustrated by Eric Rohmann

A beautifully illustrated Apis mellifera presented in tasty oil paints cycles. Young readers get

a front row seat to the natural world while vivid words introduce the anxiety leading to the bee’s

first flight. Think each bee has just one job? Think again. Bees hold a variety of occupations

during their short, lovely lives — and you thought you were busy! (For ages 6 to 9)

The Plain Janes

Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg

Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg’s children comic about four girl artists attracted readers when

it was released in 2007. Now, in a reissue (再版) that includes the original tales along with a new

story, Castellucci ages up her message. While the Janes’ lives have grown more complicated,

Castellucci’s theme remains sincere and — in these trying times — something many of us struggle

to keep in mind. (For ages 8 to 15)

Joe Bagley, a 20-year-old “jungle boy”, has turned his one-bedroom apartment in Lough

borough, UK, into an indoor jungle with over 1,400 potted plants.

You can find all sorts of plants growing in Joe Bagley’s home. They are everywhere, on the

dining table, on bookshelves, even in the bathroom, pretty much wherever there is any spare space

that hasn’t been occupied by something else. There isn’t that much space available —1,400 potted

plants into it have made it look like a sort of indoor urban jungle.

“Every room is packed,” the houseplant enthusiast said. “I’m always thinking of new places

to put more. I have some plants in here and I don’t know where they came from. I can’t remember

buying them. It’s like I have an addiction.”

Joe’s love for houseplants started when he was 13, after his grandmother, who lives right

across the street, gifted him a cutting of her spider plant. As the South African plant grew and

blossomed (开花), so did his love for houseplants.

These days he works in a garden center, spends his free time either caring for his plants or

reading articles and studies about them, and claims (声称) to have developed a kind of “sixth

sense” when it comes to taking care of them. “I have a sixth sense for knowing when something

needs watering. I can just be walking past a plant and I know,” he said.

Through the last seven years, Joe Bagley has accumulated a wealth of plant knowledge, and

he recently created his own website, where he publishes all sorts of helpful information for fellow

plant enthusiasts and he also answers their questions about plant care. His dream is to one day

open his own plant-filled “jungle café”, which he describes as his ideal business.

4．What can we know about Joe Bagley’s apartment?

A．It is messy and dirty. B．It is lying in a jungle.

C．It is filled with plants. D．It is a tourist attraction.

5．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A．Why Joe Bagley’s grandmother loved plants.

B．How Joe Bagley fell in love with houseplants.

D．What Joe Bagley loved best about houseplants.

6．Which of the following best describes Joe Bagley regarding plant care?

A．Creative and determined. B．Hardworking but careless.

C．Optimistic but inactive. D．Enthusiastic and professional.

7．Why did Joe Bagley create his own website?

A．To advertise his “jungle cafe”. B．To raise money from others.

C．To share his plant knowledge. D．To do business with gardeners.

Maybe you take vitamins regularly supporting brainpower, or stock up on these foods that

boost brain health. But new guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) suggest

there’s something better you can do to keep your mind sharp.

A quarter of adults aged 80 to 84 experience mild cognitive (认知的) impairment, according

to AAN. To address the widespread problem, a group of neurologists and Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海

默症) specialists went through existing studies to define the best ways to prevent and treat

cognitive decline—and you might be surprised by what they included and what they didn’t.

Surprisingly, the AAN guidelines don’t include any medication(药物) or dietary

recommendations. The authors stress that there haven’t been any high quality, long term studies

finding foods or medication can help cognitive decline. The guidelines also say doctors can

consider suggesting cognitive training to patients with memory loss but not rely on it. At the
