Who Invited the sunglasses?

Sunglasses were made to cover the eyes from the sun for the very first time during the 12th century in China.
These dark glasses, used only by the very rich, weren’t made to help people see better. It wasn`t until the
19th century that they found out they didn’t protect against dangerous UV light. Some people used sunglasses
during a conversation to cover not only their eyes but what they’re thinking. This was very useful for Chinese
police of that time who used to wear sunglasses while asking people questions. Then, in the 15 th century,
glasses to improve vision were made using dark glass, and they were taken to Italy by the Chinese.
Modern sunglasses were made in the 20th century. They became very popular when Hollywood movie stars who
began using them to cover their eyes from the bright studio lights. By 1929, Sam Foster, who opened the
Foster Grant Company of Atlantic city, put sunglasses into every store in America and became a successful
businessman by selling lots of them. He sold the first pair of Foster Grant sunglasses in Atlantic city, New
Jersey in 1929. By 1930, sunglasses could be found even in distant Alaska.
In the 1960s, advertisements printed by the Foster Grant Company made sunglasses very famous. During the
1970s, Hollywood stars made the sunglasses industry grow by creating their own styles of sunglasses.

Art is an essential subject which should matter not only to schools, but to the whole country.
Despite the fact that the creative industries contributed £984,100,000 to the economy of
England last year, arts are usually ignored in schools. Students should start exploring art in
elementary school since certain skills for their future university and job choices might be set
by the time they finish 7th grade. However, in many cases there’s only an emphasis on
reading, writing and math, which sometimes means spending a whole term without a single
art lesson.

So, what are the benefits of exploring arts and being creative? I believe that through art classes, students can find spaces
where they may express their feelings and be recognized as individual humans. Besides, arts usually include cultural variety;
children need to understand art is made by all sorts of people, in many ways, and the kids can connect to several forms of
art and artists. All this can help students accept each other and the differences people have, promoting work in teams.

In addition, art teachers can use other topics taught at school to encourage students to learn about art. For example,
through a history lesson about World War II, students could learn about artists such as Henry Moore, who produced
sculptures and other works that can be used to discuss war prisoners. Unfortunately, reports have shown that there are
schools that don’t have art teachers, which is unbelievable. In those cases, teachers of other subjects should aim to include
short periods of creativity during the day. Of course, this is not enough. School districts must make efforts to include arts in
the school curriculum to encourage students to be curious and creative.

31. What is the main purpose of the writer?

A. To compare art with other school subjects C.To show that teaching art brings meaningful benefits
B. To advise art teachers on how to deal with their D. To explain how art is taught at school
pupils

32. If art is absent from elementary school, it would be difficult for students to
A. develop some important abilities. C. finish seventh grade with high grades
B. help England to progress D. be responsible professionals.

33. In paragraph 2, according to the writer, what benefit can the art class provide?
A. the possibility to discover your feelings C. the development of individual education
B. a sense of respect towards variety D. an opportunity to become an artist

34. In paragraph 3, what does the writer find obvious about art at school?
A. Jails must be mentioned in class discussions. C. Hiring well-trained teachers is unnecessary.
B. Writing reports in the art class is not common. D. Art instructions cannot be replaced.
35. Which is the best title for this text?
A. The importance of Art in Education C. The Advantages of Being an Art Professor
B. European Battles and Arts D. Discussions on Historical Facts and Arts.
