creates fantastic painting of birds, elephants, tigers, and giraffes by painting on skin. Born in Soverato, Italy,
Guido Daniele has been called "Hand Gogh"(after artist Vincent van Gogh) since he began creating works of
art on people"s hands in 1990.
Painting on the hands can be a challenge because, unlike canvas, the skin moves when rubbed. Daniele"s
models must remain perfectly still for hours as he paints. He often uses his daughter and his son as his
"canvases".
Before he can begin to create his "manimals" (the artist"s name for his hand animals", Daniele studies
photographs of the animal that he will be painting in order to be able to understand its character and give it life.
"next," he says, "I look at the hand from different perspectives (视角), and I begin to imagine what is the best
way to position the hand for me to paint the animal." He also studies the skin of the model, preferring it to have
little hair and few blemishes (瑕疵).
Daniele starts by drawing on the model"s hand with a pencil. He next paints the skin using watercolors made
specifically for body art. The eyes of Daniele"s painted animals look amazingly real, and they are most difficult
part to paint.
Paintings on hands must eventually be washed away. Guido Daniele says that he"s gotten used to this part
and that he doesn"t really mind seeing his work washed down the drain (排水沟). "Tomorrow, I will paint the
next one. The important thing is to take many good photographs before washing the hand!"
B. plants
C. stories
D. animals

D. The animals which Daniele uses as models.
B. He cares little about this.
C. He is satisfied to see this.
D. He in fact can"t accept this.
B. His works are mainly drawn with pencils.
C. He is an artist who paints on hands.
D. He often asks his wife to be his model.

scholarships (奖学金). The Alcindor"s decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small
school on Manhattan"s West Side.
At Power, Alcindor came under the control of coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already
gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year
student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then.
But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough
to make the high school All-American Team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.
From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches (对方教练) used to take their teams quickly away
from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to.
Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop (棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-
ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.
When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly.
He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable
talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him
in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor
told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. "People want you not for yourself," Donohue
warned him, "but because you"re a basketball player. Don"t forget that."
B. tall, skillful and successful
C. kind, powerful and undefeated
D. well-known, strict and experienced
B. Alcindor wasn"t quick and skillful enough to do
C. As a first-year student was not able to do much
D. Because he was too young to play
B. Their teams feared to see Alcindor
C. Their teams would lose courage
D. Their teams would lose interest
B. How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters
C. Why the press followed Alcindor closely
D. Why the public wanted Alcindor badly
engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather.
To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn"t know how high she was flying. At night,
and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged (冲) into
the sea.
Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames (火焰) coming from the engine.
Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except keep going and hope.
In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly
welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President
Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time on, Amelia Earhart was famous.
What was so important about her flight? Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean
alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty-six minutes.
In the years that followed, Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each
occasion she set a new record for flying time. Amelia Earhart made these flights to show that women had
a place in aviation (航空) and that air travel was useful.

not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself:"I would never sit back in
a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more productive old age.
She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At
twelve she left home and was in domestic (家庭的) service until, at twenty-seven, she married Thomas
Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in
New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only
changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff (硬的) to sew and she wanted to keep
busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at a local market and were soon noticed by a businessman
who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in
1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death she produced some 2,000
pictures: detailed and lively portrayals (描绘) of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful
sense of colour and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it." she
said.

But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world"s 14 highest mountains.
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia"s snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the
10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
"It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous," said Viesturs. "There"s no simple way to climb it. There
are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain."
In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog"s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog"s
story was of frostbite (冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington"s Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years
ago, he set out to walk up to the world"s highest peaks. Finally, he"s done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with
respect. "You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,"
said Viesturs. "If we have the patience and the respect, and if we"re here at the right time, under the right
circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down."
What"s next for a man who can"t stop climbing? "I"m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back
and enjoy the summer," says Viesturs. But for a man who"s climbed the world"s 14 tallest mountains, he will
probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
B. He has been to the top of the world"s 14 highest mountains.
C. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545feet.
D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.
B. discouraged
C. interested
D. upset
B. mountains should be regarded as living creatures
C. mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy
D. those who like mountain climbing won"t stop climbing
B. Climbing to the top of the world"s 14 tallest mountains again.
C. Climbing another one of the highest mountains.
D. Writing down the experiences about his adventure.
looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world
of music.
Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in
the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, "Jazz and I grew up together."
Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy"s home.
In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the
steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music
of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became
respected as their equal.
In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life,
Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the
American popular song.
His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, "Listening
to Pops just makes you feel good all over." He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known
and most admired people in the world. His death, on July 6,1971, was headline news around the world.
