“In the future, everybody will be famous for 15 minutes,” said US artist Andy Warhol（1928 —1987）. And he is quite
right. Now it seems that anybody can become an instant online celebrity.
Warhol is best noted for his paintings that represent celebrity faces and US consumer goods, like Coca-Cola bottles or
Campbel’s soup cans. As a great influence on the twentieth century pop art movement, Andy Warhol rose to become a
cornerstone in the contemporary art world, devoted to bringing his views on materialism, polities and economics to the art.
Actually, the visual world Warhol created is directly connected to his background.
In the mid-1950s, the working class gathered a great deal of fortune. They wanted to achieve a higher status in society.
“The consumer goods and Hollywood faces are a working-class-coded iconography（肖像）that is often misinterpreted as
generally ‘American’.” Anthony E. Grudin, author of Warhol’s Working Class commented. Reproducing these themes in his
work meant that people outside of the art world could immediately connect with Warhol’s pictures. Considered “a creature of
transformation”, Warhol constantly explored with different forms of media to evoke resonance among people.
For example, in addition to being a painter, Warhol was, in the words of UK writer Peter Wollen: “A filmmaker, a writer, a
photographer, a TV soap opera producer.” Warhol, in short, was what we might call a ‘Renaissance（文艺复兴） man’, even
though he was a leader in pop or perhaps post-modern art.
In his later years, he founded Interview Magazine and wrote several books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol. But
UK artist Gillian Wearing said, “Warhol left his mark in many more ways than his actual work.” Warhol’s works are all about
“America, money, fame and death”, UK writer Jon Savage remarked. “He summer up , defined and in many ways symbolized
the world in which we now live.”
4. What’s Andy Warhol’s purpose of creating his paintings?
A. To highlight Renaissance style. B. To combine art with materialism.
C. To attain fame and higher status. D. To challenge traditional art forms.
5. What do Andy Warhol’s paintings focus on?
A. Popular drinks. B. Average people.
C. Commercial products. D. Living scenes of working class.
6. What kind of person is Andy Warhol according to the text?
A. Constructive and multi-talented. B. Conservative and realistic.
C. Optimistic and encouraging. D. Creative and critical.
7. In which column of the newspaper can we read the passage?
A. Health. B. Sports. C. Science. D. People.
C
With a fragrance ( 芳 香 ) through the bedrooms of older adults for two hours every night for six months, memories
skyrocketed. Participants in this study by University of California, Irvine (UCI)neuroscientists gained a 226% increase in
cognitive capacity compared to the control group. The researchers say the finding transforms the long-known tie between smell
and memory into an easy, non-invasive technique for strengthening memory and potentially preventing dementia (痴呆).
The project was conducted through the UCI Center for the Neurobiology of Learning & Memory. It involved men and
women aged 60 to 85 without memory impairment. All were given seven small containers, each containing a single and
different natural oil. People in the enriched group received full-strength oils. Control group participants were given the oils in
tiny amounts. Participants put a different container into their room each evening prior to going to bed, and it activated for two
hours as they slept.
People in the enriched group showed a 226% increase in cognitive performance compared to the control group, as
measured by a word list test commonly used to evaluate memory. Participants also reported sleeping more soundly. The
researchers say the results from their study bear out what scientists learned about the connection between smell and memory.
Scientists have long known that the loss of ability to smell, can predict development of nearly 70 neurological and
psychiatric diseases. These include Alzheimer’s and other dementias, Parkinson’s and alcoholism. Researchers have previously
found that exposing people with moderate dementia to up to 40 different smells twice a day over a period of time improved
their memories and language skills, eased depression and improved their sense of smell.
The team would next like to study the technique’s impact on people with diagnosed cognitive loss. A product based on
their study and designed for people to use at home is expected to come onto the market this fall.
8. What field may the findings be applied to?
A. Controlling sleep. B. Exploring smells.
C. Developing skills. D. Promoting memory.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Research results. B. Research process.
C. Research methods. D. Research purpose.
10. How did researchers assess the performance of the participants?
A. By giving the participants a test.
