In an old library，there was a storybook.His cover looked great，but every page inside was blank.Children would open him with excitement，find nothing，and throw him back."I wish the kids would like me!" he said.On the same shelf，there was a bottle full of ink.He had been forgotten in the corner.He always dreamed of creating a real book.

Have you ever seen a painting long enough to cover your whole wall？A thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains is one of China's greatest art treasures.It was painted about 900 years ago during the Northern Song Dynasty by Wang Ximeng.
Painted on a whole piece of silk，the painting measures over 11 metres from end to end.It shows a beautiful scene of mountains and rivers in China.It also includes quiet images of fishing villages，markets，simple houses，watermills，and bridges.These peaceful scenes come to life with people fishing，rowing boats，and walking.
What makes this painting special is its bright beautiful colours.Wang Ximeng used blues and greens made from minerals.Even after 900 years，the colours are still clear and bright.The mountains look like green jade，and the rivers shine like silks.
The story behind the painting is amazing.Wang Ximeng was only about 18 years old when he painted it.He was a student in the emperor's art school.The emperor，Huizong，loved art and was even his teacher.To show his thanks to Huizong，the young painter worked hard for months to finish this masterpiece.Sadly，Wang died very young.This is the only surviving work by him.
For centuries，the painting survived wars and passed through the hands of different collectors.People always protected it because they knew it was priceless.Today，it is carefully kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing.Because light can damage its bright colours，it is seldom shown to the public.

37.【答案】Dear Peter，
I'm writing to give you some advice as you are going to take part in an English contest next week.Here are some useful tips for you.
First of all，when you stand on the platform，keep smiling and keep confident from the start to the end，which is the basic rule for showing respect for others.What's more，you'd better have eye contact with your audience and remember not to stare at them，which would be rude.In addition，pay more attention to your hand gestures as body language is especially important in the speech.Last but not least，don't forget to express your gratitude to the audience sincerely when you finish your speech.
I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you and wish you good luck in your speech.
Yours， Li Hua
