七、任务型阅读。（每小题2分，共10分）
根据下面短文，回答问题，每题答案不超过8个词。
Arsh Pal started painting when he was very young. At age 8, he began selling his artworks to raise money for charity. Now 16, Arsh is still going strong!
Q: How did you get started?
A: The first painting I sold was to my piano teacher for ten dollars. After that, I reached out to my principal about my goal of raising money by selling my paintings. She offered to have a display of my artworks in the school during parent-teacher conferences. A lot of my paintings were bought by parents and teachers.
Q: How did your project grow?
A: I started getting different chances to display my art at restaurants and art galleries. I also displayed it on social media sites under the name Art by Arsh.
In all, I have donated over 23,000 to different charities, such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Compass to Care, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Easterseals.
Q: How do you decide what to paint?
A: I like painting landscapes. When my family goes on vacations, we take pictures, and usually I end up painting those pictures. Sometimes, I get orders from people. They tell me what to paint—what size, what colours—and then I paint it and send it to them.
Q: What have you learned through sharing your art?
A: No matter how old you are, you can do something to change the world and bring good to the community. Whenever I pick up a paintbrush, I say to myself, “I know this painting is going to help someone.” That encourages me to keep painting.
