十七、阅读短文，完成下列各题。（5分）
Cai Gao is a Chinese illustrator(插画家). Many readers call her “the grandmother of picture books” in China. She loved stories and pictures when she was young. Her family often took her to the theatre, and her grandmother told her folk stories(民间故事) at night. These sounds, colours and stories stayed in her heart. Later, she became an artist and made picture books for children. She likes to use soft colours, quiet lines and Chinese folk elements(要素). In her books, mountains, rivers, animals and children often look warm and alive. Cai Gao thinks a picture book is not only for reading words. Children can also read colours, faces and small details. Before she draws a book, she reads the story many times and asks, “What will a child feel on this page?” Her work tells us that great people may use a brush, not only a machine or a field. If we keep loving one thing and practise for many years, we can make our own light.
