17、a museum exhibition for the first time.Liu has been making art since she was a teenager and still sticks to a consistent studio practice alongside her work as an actress and director. She got her start while growing up in Queens in the 1980s, wandering New York City streets with a camera in hand. He
18、r first artworks were photographs. After taking a class at New York Studio School, she turned to painting. I felt like I wasnt able to express fully what I wanted with the photograph, Liu explained.With painting, she discovered that her work didnt have to be realistic or exacting, or meet certain ex
19、pectations. Everyone has a different format for how they want to show what they are thinking about, or what they are seeing to the audience, he said. I just had to let go of the audience and just started thinking about what I wanted to see. Over time, Liu has also experimented with sculpture, silksc
20、reen and textiles.

25、e had no difficulty acquiring English.CMany people do things we cant understand and that we would never do. Although there can be a number of different explanations for such behavior, one reason is a failure of empathy. And it seems that were seeing increasing levels of this failure these days.Empat
26、hy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It is similar to but different from sympathy, which can mean sharing a certain feeling with someone-having the same feelings they do. According to Helen Riess, associate professor of psychiatry(精神病学)at Harvard Medical School,
27、empathy plays an important role in our societys ability to function, promoting a sharing of experiences, needs, and desires between individuals.Our neural(神经)networks are set up to interact with the neural networks of others in order to both be aware and understand their feelings and to tell them ap
28、art from our own, which enables humans to live with one another without constantly fighting or feeling taken over by someone else.Research has shown that empathy is not simply inborn, but can actually be taught. For example, it appears that medical, raining can actually diminish empathy, but on the

Interestingly, their increased empathy also increases patient satisfaction and cooperation with treatment recommendations, thus leading to better treatment outcomes.It seems to me that these techniques could work with a lot

Perhaps if we start in the early grades and keep teaching it through high school, problems and inappropriate behavior would reduce.Empathy doesnt require burying of our own feelings. In fac
31、t, true empathy is about using our feelings to understand the feelings of someone else. We might not know exactly how they feel, but we might use our feelings to help us know something of what they are feeling. This kind of understanding, according to Reiss, can cross bridges and promote positive so
32、cial behavior. Maybe we could use a little more empathy in our world.28. According to the text, how does empathy benefit us?A. It develops our sympathy. B. It strengthens our neural system.C. It helps our society function better. D. It increases our level of confidence.29. What does the underlined w

46、 really hard to rid the behaviors. And taxes are one of the most influential policies to move the needle on unhealthy eating habits, says Christina Roberto, a behavioral scientist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. 38 Many public health researchers say theres a good reason to think t
47、hey can relieve the harms of sugary drinks, too.At the same time, some argue that soda taxes might not have the influence on public health. 39 Or, they could switch to other unhealthy foods. Or, in some cases, they could simply buy their soda in a neighboring city that doesnt tax them.While supporte
