第三部分：書面表達（共兩節(jié)，32分）第一節(jié) 閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)題目要求用英文回答問題。請在答題卡指定區(qū)域作答。

• 8．They say to find out what you really want，go back to when you were a child.
     When I was a kid，I really wanted to be a painter，but I was never great at it.I was discouraged，because in art classes my paintings were never the most beautiful.In the third grade，we were given a project to create a portrait.I used the skills and tips we were all taught in class.After we were done，we presented our portraits.We stood in front of the class and explained our technique.I remember looking at other portraits thinking，"We were given the same skills，why do theirs look so professional and mine looks so amateur？"
     But I still really enjoyed painting because it's a forgiving art.If I don't like what I've put on paper，I can paint over it.I can mix colors and make new ones.Also，I can release some creative juices，use what has inspired me and allow that to pour out of me in a way I may not have imagined.
     But because I have always wanted to paint beautiful pictures，I just decided to change what beauty looked like.I changed what beauty meant to me.
     Throughout school，they taught us about Picasso，van Gogh and da Vinci，and I never saw myself or my art in their works.These artists were always painting whatever was in front of them and around them.But that's not what I saw around me.
     Then I learned about Basquiat，who inspired me to paint abstract pictures.I paint when I'm moved，and I am often moved by what's natural：emotions，nature，and other forms of art.I am also very moved by pain.When there is pain in the world or in my heart，it can be unbearable.I had a conversation with an activist in St.Louis named Spook，and I explained to her this feeling and she told me，"Pain is energy.You have to learn how to channel that energy into something productive."So sometimes I channel that pain into art，into a painting.
     Even if the picture doesn't turn out aesthetically（美學地）pleasing by society's standards，it's still beautiful that I was able to create something.My paintings may not be a Basquiat，but they're mine，so I love them anyway.
  
  （1）What did the author find after the portrait presentation？

  
  （2）What factors motivated the author to keep his passion for arts？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  The author has always wanted to paint beautiful pictures，so he tried to meet society's standards.
  

  
  （4）Besides painting，what other art form would you use to express beauty？And explain why.（In about 40 words）
