Vincent van Gogh was born in 1853 in Zundert in the south of the Netherlands. He was unlucky
to live only for 37 years and to discover his love for art at the age of 27. Therefore, he worked as
an artist for only 10 years of his life.
During the Enlightenment Age, emphasis on literature, philosophy, science, fine arts and music
became more widespread especially with the growing middle class. This means that Vincent van
Gogh had lived in a flourishing artistic movement, which was supposed to help him succeed as an
artist and become rich. On the contrary, he did not win fame as an artist. Although Vincent painted
900 paintings and more than 1,100 drawings, his works remained unknown and unsold and his
brother Theo supported him financially during his lifetime.
Perhaps one of the reasons for his failure as an artist is his clumsy（笨拙的） behavior when
he suffered from mental illness. Another reason is his short-tempered nature and rudeness which
most of the time brought him bloody fights with his fellow Gauguin that ended up with cutting off
Vincent's ears. Moreover, he was always dirty and not well-dressed, which made people avoid
dealing with him and buying his artistic works. Furthermore, his poor health gave more blows to
his life and caused an early death to such a great artist. But now in our age, his magnificent
painting (Portrait of Dr: Gachet) is sold around 150 million dollars at auction.
Vincent van Gogh is just an example of the talented people who failed in their pursuit of glory.
4．What can we learn about Vincent before he was 27?
A．He showed no love for art. B．He enjoyed staying alone.
C．He had a great interest in art. D．He spent much time painting.
5．How many reasons are given to present Vincent's failure as an artist?
A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.
6．Why didn't people like to trade with Vincent?
A．He was in a mess. B．He became angry easily.
C．He didn't have fine works D．He often fought with others.
7．What does the story mainly tell us?
A．Good manners are more important than talents.
B．A seed planted in darkness may bloom later.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
D．One is never too old to learn.

Twenty-five young musicians from around the world have come to California to train and
perform this month. They will take part in an international program called iPalpiti. The name
comes from the Italian word for heartbeats.
Eduard Schmieder is the program's conductor and musical director. Schmieder and his wife
started the program in 1997 with help from violinist and conductor Yehudi Menuhin.
This year, the musicians come from 19 countries, including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Israel and
Italy. Schmieder notes some of the musicians are from countries that are at war with each other.

composition. It's very interesting to interact with everybody, to play together and to create one
opinion for everybody. "
This year, the festival focuses on music from the 1600s to the 1900s. But cello player Franciaco
Vila of Ecuador said the music has no geographic boundaries Vila added that the musicians get to
know more about each other as they perform great music.
"It's interesting to see where we intersect(交集) , how many things we have in common. And

Anyone watching the Winter Olympics in Beijing, China over the last few days will have seen
lots and lots of snow ----– man-made snow. Since the area gets little natural snow, this is the first
time the Winter Olympics is taking place on almost 100% artificial snow.
This year’s Winter Olympics are being held in Beijing, China, and in two areas northwest of
Beijing, Yangqing and Zhangjiakou. The areas get cold in the winter, but they don’t get a lot of
snow. That’s because they’re not far from the Gobi Desert, and are generally very dry.
That meant some serious changes were needed to hold the Winter Olympics there. China took
water from a reservoir which helps supply Beijing’s drinking water and sent it to a nearby river. To
carry the water to the mountains for making snow, the country ran miles and miles of pipes. China
says making the snow took about 49,000 gallons (185,500 liters) of water. Outside experts say it
probably took a lot more water than that.
China hired an Italian company called TechnoAlpin to create the snow. TechnoAlpin created
artificial snow at several earlier Winter Olympics. For the snow in this year’s Olympics,
TechnoAlpin laid over 40 miles (64 kilometers) of pipe and brought in hundreds of snow-making
machines. Even with all of those machines, making the snow for this year’s Games took seven
weeks.
It’s useful to be able to make snow when nature doesn’t provide enough. But artificial snow
isn’t the same as natural snow, which has more air and less water. An athlete used to natural snow
might have to adjust their style on man-made snow.Still, the machines that make artificial snow
are quite advanced. They can make several different kinds of snow depending on what’s needed
