Mary Cassatt is considered one of America’smost famous female artists.
She was born in Pennsylvania in 1844. When she was a child, Mary and her family spent five years traveling and living in Europe. Mary saw the great art museums, and she wanted to become an artist.
When she was seventeen, she said that she wanted to go to Paris to study art. At that time people thought that only men could become painters. It was not considered proper work for a woman. Her father refused to let her study art. Finally he said she could study it if she went to a school near their home. She attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
At her graduation in 1866, she again said that she had to go abroad to learn more about painting. Her father agreed to let her go. At 22 she sailed for Paris. She lived in France, but she went to other countries in Europe. She spent a lot of time in museums. She worked hard to improve her work.She studied the famous paintings of the old masters, and she copied and sketched(画素描) for hours.
She found, though, that she preferred the new ideas used by a group of artists living in Paris. They called themselves impressionists (印象派画家). Like them Mary Cassatt tried to show real people and the real world. Because these ideas were new, it took some years before people knew her as the great artist that she was.

Has everyone noticed how, with the passage of time, one’s relationship with one’s grown-up daughters and sons become changed? I’ve been aware of this for some time but I’m not quite sure how to deal with it.
Take the kitchen sink(水槽) for example.
Following a family get-together at my place, I walked into the kitchen to find Kate, my daughter, carefully cleaning the sink.
“Don’t do that. What are you doing that for?” I said, unhappy about the hidden criticism. “Mum,” she said, “you really should put your glasses on when you clean the sink. Behind the tap here was black!”
But it’s not just things like kitchen sinks. Another time Kate arrived to pick me up to lunch. She looked at me and then asked, “Mum, why do you use brown eyebrow pencil when your hair is grey?”
A sudden memory of her, aged 14, going to her first mixed party flooded back. She had come in to say goodbye. For a moment I thought she’d been an accident. Both eyes were black. I remember suggesting that perhaps a little less eye make-up might be more effective.
Now I told her, “My hair used to be brown.” “It looks absurd.”
“Mrs. Menzies had dark eyebrows with grey hair.”
“Yes, but you’re not Mrs. Menzies, are you?” she said successfully, as if that proved her point. But a recent event made me realize that something really must be done.
She had returned home for a few weeks before getting married. One evening I went out on a dinner date. By the time my friend left me at the front door, it was about 2 am. As I stepped in, an angry figure in a white nightdress stopped me.
“Well, what time of night is this to be coming home?” she shouted. “Where have you been? I’ve been worried sick!”
Shades of the past come back to disturb me. But what should I do about all this? Nothing, probably. Maybe, after all, it’s only a stage young people are going through.
53. The daughter thought her mother didn’t clean the kitchen well because of her ___. A. laziness B. carelessness C. unhappiness D. poor-quality glasses 54. What does the underlined word “absurd” mean?
