Jenny, from Germany, spent some time traveling in India. While she was there, she stayed with her Indian friend, Leela. However, there was a language barrier(障碍) for her there. It was very for her to communicate in the new environment, which was very different from of her own country.
One day, together with Leela, Jenny went to an orphanage(孤儿院). All the children there were very young. At first, Jenny was not sure if she could have a way to communicate with them. She went over to the children and sat beside them. After some time, one of the children her. She felt a little relaxed and smiled back. Then she went close to the child. She slowly put her arm around the child and started a song in German. The child kept smiling and started repeating the words after her. The words that came from the little mouth were different from those that Jenny sang, but the rhythm(节奏) was the same. Jenny sat a little more and the child followed her again. Wanting to join in the , another child went up to Jenny and started singing the rhythm. Then more children joined. They many smiles together.
From the other side of the hall, Leela was smiling and watching them. Noticing Leela’s on her, Jenny had an exciting feeling from her heart: “See, I don’t have any language barriers here. We speak and communicate!” At that moment, she understood: we’re all simple human, and we have the ability to connect with each other.

下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、 D、E 和 F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Lack of stone images also reflects religious belief.
B. Art is a good means to know about people’s faith.
C. Artists express their feelings and opinions in their works.
D. People know more about our culture through learning art history.
E. Art is by all means relevant to history.
F. Art history provides information of different places and people.____________________________
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than it is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.____________________________
In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors---or of people very different from our own---can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books.____________________________
In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects subjective emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros---as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins---depicted（描述）these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.____________________________
In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical（圣经的）stories in the pictures on church walls.____________________________
By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This shows the Islamic belief that statues are unholy. Something else can be more religiously symbolic in history.

To a poor family, I deeply knew 52 was not easy for us, and everything my mom did to me was just to hope I could live a better life in the future. 53 the saying goes, “No pains, no gains.” So I did what my mom expected because I didn’t want to let her down. At last, I did measure up (达到标准）to my mom’s expectation and go to college 54 . Thanks to my mom’s push! Thanks to the stress! In this way, I don’t think stress is a bad thing.
