16、favourite child of his family. He was the only boy among a great many girl cousins. That was enough to make him important, but the father loved him especially, because he knew his son was going to be an artist. Pablo knew the word for pencil even before he could see Mamma and Papa. When he was small

17、, he spent hours by himself making delightful little drawings of animals and people. If his mother sent him out to play in the square, he went on drawing in the dust under the trees. Don Jose Ruiz, Pablos father, was director of the museum in southern Spain. He earned only a small salary, but there

18、was not much work to do and he was able to practice his hobby, which was painting pigeons. Don loved pigeons very much. He painted them dead or alive in ones and twos and in dozens. Sometimes he painted them on paper, cut them out and stuck them onto canvas (画布); sometimes he stuck real feathers ont

19、o his pictures. He knew a great deal about the technique of painting and he taught it all to Pablo.Life in Malaga was very pleasant. In the hot sunshine father and son would walk down to the beach to look at the boats on the shore or wander around the open markets. They made a strange pair. Don was

20、tall and thin, with red hair and beard, sad gray eyes and a fine set of whiskers (腮须). He was so shy and correct that he was nicknamed “the Englishman”. Pablo was quite the opposite.

25、n his older brother James printing shop. He secretly started publishing his writing under the false name of Silence Dogood. James wasnt pleased when he found out the writer was Ben. Ben stopped his job and set out for Philadelphia.In 1732, Franklin began publishing Poor Richards Almanack, where most

26、 of his sayings can be found. Many of these , such as “A penny saved is a penny earned”, remain popular today.Franklin is known as a Founding Father. This means that he was part of the group of men who founded their nation. He was a member of the Continental Congress and also the oldest person to si

27、gn both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.Electricity and weather were especially interesting to Franklin. He proved that lightning is electricity by catching sparks from a cloud while flying a kite in a storm.As Ben says, “If you would not be forgotten when you are dead and rotte

28、n, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing about. ”His theory seems to work, because Ben followed both pieces of his own advice, and we still remember him centuries later!40.

Comparing that with his performance on December 19, also against Indiana, Yao won 29 points and 10 rebounds. “This is one of the most exciting games Ive had,” Yao said after Houstons 95-83 victory.

43、 attracted by so many original works. Disoriented and confused, he wondered if the Painting Village was really the village described in a New York Times report, which drew him from New York to the village earlier this month. “The New York Times said Dafen was a village, but what I saw is a modern ci

44、ty, with lots of shops, buildings, and factories,” Mandiberg told the Shen zhen Daily after spending a week there. An assistant professor with the Department of Media Culture of the City University of New York, Mandiberg became interested in Dafen after reading a New York Times report entitled “Own

45、Original Chinese Copies of Real Western Art” published July 15, 2005. He came to Dafen to shoot a 10-minute documentary for student research and screening in galleries. Mandiberg spent a whole week talking to painters, and visiting shops, museums and factories. It was a brand-new experience for him,

46、 as he had never seen such mass-production of art._. In one of the factories, the process of producing a painting is broken down into five stages, with skillful painters in charge of the first and final stages. In the other factory, the painting is produced in a 20-part process. “Dafen is a good pla

47、ce for painters to make a living. In New York, most artists have to do other jobs, like teaching or working in galleries, to support themselves,” said Mandiberg. However, Mandiberg is not optimistic about the future of original works from the village. “Some museums in Dafen sell originals at prices

48、as high as $3,000, but foreigners will not buy them. When people buy a painting, they want identification with artists. People dont spend over $500 on an object which they are not familiar with,” he said.51. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)_52. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?He was awe-struck by the quantity of paintings in the village._53. Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within
