There was a fine piece of carving stone material, but it was ruined by an unskilled sculptor.
Mistakenly, he dug a hole on the part that was originally for the figure's leg. So this rare piece of
marble （大理石）was abandoned in a church.
One day, someone called in Michelangelo. They believed only he was able to make use of
this piece of marble. Michelangelo looked at the stone and concluded that he could carve out a
beautiful figure as long as he got the design adjusted to hide the damaged part.
Michelangelo decided to carve the young David. One day, the mayor （市长）of the city
entered the studio. He regarded himself as a carving expert and appreciated the work. He told
Michelangelo that his work was a fantastic masterpiece, but the nose was too big.
Michelangelo knew the mayor was standing right below the statue, so his visual angle was
incorrect. Without a word, he asked the mayor to climb up the platform following him to the nose
position. He then picked up a tool and some small pieces of marble. Michelangelo began to carve
gently with the tool and made the collected stone pieces in his hand drop bit by bit. In fact, he
didn’t change the nose, but it seemed as if he did. After several minutes, he stood aside and said,
“Now, have a look!"
The mayor answered, "This is better. You have made it true to life."
Everyone believes they are right. If you try to persuade others to change their grounds by
words, the reasoning of your argument may fall on deaf ears. Learn to prove the correctness of
ideas in an indirect way. Getting the support of others through your own actions will be more
powerful. One can never win if he only relics on arguments.
4. Why was Michelangelo invited to make the sculpture?
A
.
The former sculptor broke the figure's leg.
B. He could design a young David for a church.
C. The mayor believed he could do a good job.
D. He could reuse the rare damaged material.
5. Which of the following best describes Michelangelo?
A. Dishonest. B. Responsible.
C. Overconfident. D. Intelligent.
6. What does the underlined word “grounds” in the last paragraph refer to?
A
.
Lifestyles. B. Hobbies.
C. Opinions. D. Floors.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. A smart move is better than words.
B. Do what you say and say what you do.
C. Action is the proper fruit of knowledge.
D. From small beginning come great things.
C
Have you ever thought about what happens to people’s property when they die? That’s where
wills come in. Traditionally, wills were only made by the elderly. Many young people think they
don’t need wills if they don’t have kids or houses yet. But in recent years, this perception has
started to change.
A white paper released by the China Will Registration Center in March revealed that more
people in their 20s and 30s are now writing wills in China, reported China Daily. The Daily Mail
also reported that more young people are writing wills thanks to the CoVID-19 pandemic. In the
UK, only 18 percent of 18-to 34-уеаr-olds had wills in 2019, compared to 27 percent in 2021. In a
recent interview with The Telegraph, Emily James, 22, said the main reason she wrote a will was
the pandemic. “In the current climate, you can’t really get away from death - it’s something my
generation has never been faced with so distinctly before. The death count is broadcast every day,
and most people know someone who has been affected by the virus, which starts to make you
think and want to plan for your future.”
Apart from the pandemic, public knowledge of celebrities’ health conditions, like the British
royal family, has led to more people writing wills. The highest number of wills written on a single
day in 2021 was on Feb 18, following the late Prince Philip’s admission to hospital, according to
data from Farewill, one of the UK’s biggest death planning companies.
Farewill’s data also show that the legacies young people leave in their wills are reflections of
current society. Music and pop culture collections were among the top things included in wills.
The most common pop culture collections mentioned were Disney, Star Wars and Harry Potter
memorabilia(纪念品).
The pandemic increased people’s likelihood of including a gift to a charity in their will. Furry
friends are also not forgotten. Farewill’s data show nearly one-fifth of the people were making
wills to ensure their pets were well looked after, with a total of 37 percent of will writers including
