One day the lawyer said to him, "One thousand dollars, and here is the money. "As Hobbs took the package of noted, he was very dumbfounded. He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, "I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I' d like to do: painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that？ I should have lost myplace of the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it's too much for one and too little for the other." "Here is the reading of your uncle's will", said the lawyer, "telling what is to be clone with this money after his death.

What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words.They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us.Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights.Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it.Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a decaying leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world.Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. 1.An artist hopes that the public will ____. A.understand him and learn from him B.notice only shapes and colors in his work C.teach him something D.believe what he says in his work 2.It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because he/ she ___. A.uses shapes and colors instead of words B.uses unusual words and phrases C.does not express himself /herself well D.does not say anything clearly 3.The writer points out that contemporary artists might say their choices of subject _____. A.only provide interesting patterns B.teach the public important truths C.have no pattern or form D.carry a message to the public 4.The writer also points out that contemporary art contains ____. A.nothing but meaningless patterns B.uninteresting aspects of the world C.completely meaningless subjects D.subjects chosen partly for their meanings 5.What is implied in this passage？() A.A painting is more easily understood than a symphony. B.Art is merely the arranging of shape and color. C.Every artist tries to say something to the public. D.One must look beyond shape and color to find what the artist is saying.

When it comes to success, luck can mean being in the right place to meet someone, or having the right skills to get a job done. It might mean turning down an offer and then having a better offer come along. Nothing can replace hard work, but working hard also means you're preparing yourself opportunity. Opportunity very often depends on luck. How many of the great inventions and discoveries came about through a lucky mistake or a lucky chance？ One of the biggest lucky mistakes in history is Columbus' so-called discovery of America. He enriched his sponsors and changed history, but he was really looking for India. However, Columbus' chance discovery wasn't pure luck. It was backed up by years of studying and calculating. He worked hard to prove his theory that the world was round. People who work hard help make their own luck by being ready opportunity knocks. When it comes to success, hard work and luck are always hand in hand. (30) A．Hard work is the most important thing for one's success. B．Hard work may invite good luck. C．Good luck plays an important role in one's success. D．Success has nothing to do with luck.

But first, the essence: Is there something about the brain cells work to explain the effect？ In 1978 the neuroscientist Vernon Mountcastle devised a model of the neural structure of the brain's gray matter. Looking like a thick band of colorful bead work, it represents the firing patterns of groups of neurons. Building on Mounteastle, Shaw and his team constructed a model of their own. On a lark, Xiaodan Leng, who was Shaw's colleague at the time, used a synthesizer to translate these patterns into music. What came out of the speakers wasn't exactly toe-tapping, but it was music. Shaw and Leng inferred that music and brain-wave activity are built on the same sort of patterns. "Gordon is a contrarian in his thinking," says his longtime friend, Nobel Prize-winning Stanford physicist Martin Peri. "That's important. In new areas of science, such as brain research, nobody knows how to do it." What do neuroscientists and psychologists think of Shaw's findings？' They haven't condemned it, but neither have they confirmed it. Maybe you have to take them with a grain of salt, but the experiments by Shaw and his colleagues are intriguing. In March a team led by Shaw announced that young children who had listened to the Mozart sonata and studied the piano over a period of months improved their scores by 27% on a test of ratios and proportions. The control group against which they were measured received compatible enrichment courses--minus the music. The Mozart-trained kids are now doing math three grade levels ahead of their peers, Shaw claims. Proof of all this, of course, is necessarily elusive because it can be difficult to do a double- blind experiment of educational techniques. In a double-blind trial of an arthritis drug, neither the study subjects nor the experts evaluating them know which ones got the test treatment and which a dummy pill. How do you keep the participants from knowing it's Mozart on the CD？ In the first paragraph Gordon Shaw's concern is shown over ______. A．the open hostility by the media towards his findings B．his strength to keep trying out the "Mozart effect" C．a widespread misunderstanding of his findings D．the sharp disagreement about his discovery 此题为多项选择题。
