Imagine finding a job where you can put together everything important to you. I’ve managed to have a career that does just that. My name is Ronald Green and I’m a fashion designer.
My training as a creative person began when I was a little boy. I was born and spent my early childhood in Lax Kw’alaams. It was from my mother that I inherited(经遗传获得) the love for and the connection to the history and traditions of my people. My earliest works are reflective of many traditional symbols and as I acquired new skills, I translated these into fashion designs.
I’ve always been interested in the use of images and natural items in the making of ceremonial clothing. At the University of Victoria, I studied many techniques traditional to my culture. I created work with images of my childhood, using shell buttons and Melton wool. I also experimented with other techniques that are modern and not usual to my traditional roots. Finally, I developed my own style for these images. I’m proud to say many of my works decorate galleries and holiday spots in my country.
I find inspiration in the natural world — a swimming whale, a singing bird etc. I also get new ideas from respectable artists who have created their own interpretation of their First Nations culture such as Bill Reid and Norval Morrisseau.
When I create my designs, the greatest inspiration comes from the person who commissions(委托) the piece. I want all the elements(要素) of the person who will wear my clothes to come together in the piece.偏爱考试版 Who is that person? What images can reflect his personality? All these forces come together to assist me in the design of the perfect piece.

A. By learning from his mother.
B. By creating ceremonial clothes.

5. Why does the author mention Bill Reid and Norval Morrisseau?
A. To express his respect for them. B. To introduce First Nations culture.
C. To explain their understanding of art. D. To show a way for him to get inspired.
6. Which contributes most to the author’s having exciting new ideas?
A. His client. B. His culture.
C. Natural objects. D. Traditional symbols.

Over the past decades, experts have done a considerable amount of research to explore different ways to encourage children’s learning. Especially, there has been a common focus on how physical activity, separated from the learning activities, can improve children’s learning. However, there has been less of a focus aimed at the potential of integrating(合并) physical activity into the learning activities.
