Painting Faces Made of Food

            Have you ever painted a picture of someone? First you draw the person’s head, and then their eyes, nose, and mouth, right? Well, the Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimnoldo did this in the 1,600s, too. But he rained many portraits with a special twist!

            Look at this painting. From far away, the man just looks like a gardener. However, once you are closer, you can see many vegetables. The gardener’s cheeks are onions! What else can you see?

            How about this painting? From far way, it looks like a normal man. But if you look closely, what do you see? His head is made of grapes, melons, tomatoes, pineapples, and more! The small objects in this painting all work together. They create a larger picture of his face!

            Giuseppe Arcimnoldo used his imagination to create unusual paintings. His paintings are like puzzles of fruit and vegetables. This helped him to become one of the most famous painters of his time.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 37 to 43.

      Anthropologists have pieced together the little they know about the history of left - handedness and right - handedness from indirect evidence. Though early men and women did not leave written records, they did leave tools, bones, and pictures. Stone Age hand axes and hatchets were made from stones that were carefully chipped away to form sharp cutting edges. In some, the pattern of chipping shows that these tools and weapons were made by right handed people, designed to fit comfortably into a right hand. Other Stone Age implements were made by or for left-handers Prehistoric pictures, painted on the walls of caves, provide further clues to the handedness of ancient people. A right - hander finds it easier to draw faces of people and animals facing toward the left, whereas a left - hander finds it easier to draw faces facing toward the right. Both kinds of faces have been found in ancient painting. On the whole, the evidence seems to indicate that prehistoric people were either ambidextrous or about equally likely to be left - or right - handed.

      But, in the Bronze Age, the picture changed. The tools and weapons found from that period are mostly made for right - handed use. The predominance of right - handedness among humans today had apparently already been established.

In line 11, the words “the picture” refer to which of the following?

A. Faces of animals and people

B. People’s view from inside a cave

C. People’s tendency to work with either hand

D. The kinds of paint used on cave walls
