Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018湖北黄冈高三联考)
A couple of years ago I graduated from art school.After graduation I was unsure of what to do with my degree.I had majored in Illustration(插图) and loved it,but didn’t really feel interested in doing illustrations for any companies.This left me with few options other than freelance(自由职业者) and a nannying(保姆)job.
I spent two years working as a nanny doing freelance illustration on the side.It just wasn’t quite enough to pay rent,but I loved it,so I worked well over 50 hours a week trying to keep up with both.
Just under a year ago I went to a friend’s wedding.I couldn’t think of a gift for them and really didn’t have a lot of money to spare so I used my talents to create a portrait for them.It wasn’t much,and I hoped it would be a good gift.When I handed the portrait to them and they unwrapped it the looks on their faces was something I did not expect.There were joyful tears in their eyes as they cried,“That’s us! This is so beautiful!”
It’s funny because when I was in art school portraits were always my least favorite assignment.I hated drawing people and was always so much more interested in drawing little furry creatures.Once I saw the looks on my friends’ faces after giving them their portrait it was all over.I suddenly loved portraits and wanted to do more.
I now take portraits to every wedding I go to and have given them as gifts to the families I nannied for.Every time the reaction makes all of the hard work and time I put into them so worth it.
I’ve just started offering couple,family and pet portraits as an item on my Etsy shop.
