| He lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were recognized by almost no one. He suffered from a mental illness that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later. But after his death, he achieved world fame. Today, Dutch artist Van Gogh is recognized as one of the leading artists of all time. Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert, the town of his birth, has made 2003 "The Van Gogh Year" in his honor. And the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, home to the biggest collection of his masterpiece, is marking the anniversary with exhibitions throughout the year. The museum draws around 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life. Others are interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art. Van Gogh was the son of the minister. He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art. Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotion into his paintings and show his feelings about a scene. His style is marked by short, broad brush strokes (绘画笔法). "Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more freely, in order to express myself more forcefully," he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888. Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He relied heavily on support from his brother, an art dealer who lived in Paris. But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. His portrait of Dr. Gacher sold for ＄89.5 million in 1990. It is the highest price ever paid for a painting. "I think his paintings are powerful and the brilliant color in them are attractive to people," said a Van Gogh's fan. |
| 1. All through his life Van Gogh _____. |
| A. depended on his brother B. worked hard on art studies C. was not recognized by people D. expressed himself in paintings |
| 2. Van Gogh killed himself because of _____. |
| A. the poor life B. his illness C. his pain from left ear D. the objections from the artists of his time |
| 3. One of the characteristics of Van Gogh's paintings is _____. |

| Do you still remember your favorite poem from high school or some other important periods in your life? Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind? Probably the main reason is that some aspect of that poem resonates (引起共鸣) with you. In the same way, you too as a school leader can touch the hearts of your staff and students. Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past. The power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this common need of the human heart and soul. As one of the oldest art forms, poetry has successfully connected various strands of humanity (人性) from one generation to another. Referring to poetry, Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement, "With this key mankind unlocked his heart." School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves, their students and their staff members. Beyond the simple use of poetry, techniques of poetry such as metaphors, repetitions and imagery can be used o take advantage of the power of language to transform communication, create meaning and a culture of care and attention. Since schools are mainly about people and relationships, school leaders, like poets, are required to inspire and encourage the human heart. The use of poetry-or even of some techniques of poetry-in school leadership not only helps to improve communication, but also serves to meet the human need for inspiration. |
| 1. The underlined part "this common need" in the second paragraph refers to ____. |
| A. the need to read poetry B. the need to be inspired C. the need to learn about the past D. the need to be connected with other people |
| 2. The use of poetry or techniques of poetry in school leadership is in fact to make use of _____. |
| A. the power of language B. the power of school leaders C. people's preference for poetry D. people's desire for communication |
| 3. What is the purpose of this passage? |
| A. To show the readers that poetry is really powerful. B. To explain how poetry can be used in our daily life. C. To talk about the art of being a school leader. D. To encourage using the transformational power of poetry in school leadership. |

| Beijing had its biggest snowfall since 1951. Britain is suffering through its longest cold snap (寒潮) since 1981. And freezing weather is hitting the Deep South, including Florida's orange groves and beaches. Whatever happened to global warming? Such weather doesn't seem to fit with warnings from scientists that the Earth is warming because of greenhouse gases. But experts say the cold snap doesn't contradict global warming at all - it's just a temporary phenomenon in the long-term heating trend. "It's part of natural variability," said Gerald Meehl, a senior scientist. With global warming, he said, "we'll still have record and cold temperatures. We'll just have fewer of them." Scientists say man-made climate change does have the potential to cause more frequent and more severe weather extremes. But experts did not connect the current cold snap to climate change. So what is going on? "We basically have seen just a big outbreak of Arctic air over populated areas of the Northern Hemisphere", Arndt said. In the atmosphere, large rivers of air travel roughly west to east around the globe between the Arctic and the tropics. This air flow acts like a fence to keep Arctic air restricted. But recently, this air flow has become bent into a zigzag (之字形) pattern, wandering north and south. If you live in a place where it brings air up from the south, you get warm weather. In fact, record highs were reported this week in Washington state and Alaska. But in the eastern United States, like some other unlucky parts of the globe, Arctic air is coming from the north. And that's how you get a temperature of 3 degrees in Beijing, a reading of minus-42 in mainland Norway, and 18 inches of snow in parts of Britain. The zigzag pattern arises naturally from time to time, but it is not clear why it's so strong right now. |
| 1. What is the main idea of the text? |
| A. Freezing weather is hitting the Deep South. B. We'll still have record cold temperatures. C. The air flow has become a zigzag pattern. D. Cold snap doesn't contradict global warming. |
| 2. With global warming, we will ____. |
| A. also meet with severe cold snap B. have more hot temperatures forever C. never experience cold temperatures D. have more cold temperatures |
| 3. Beijing had its biggest snowfall since 1951 because of ____. |
| A. a fence from the Arctic B. a cooling trend in climate C. a big outbreak of Arctic air D. its large population |
| 4. We can conclude that ____. |
| A. not all the parts of the Northern Hemisphere are cold in face of the cold snap B. the zigzag pattern arises naturally accidentally C. Beijing will get cold weather next year D. Washington state and Alaska will not face cold weather next year. |

| Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. __1 _ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain release the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. __2__ Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believed that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood of pressure. __3__ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough and get angry about. If it is, they say, " 4 . Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably." Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. __5__ | |

| However, the attitudes of scientists 1 this rise are completely different. On the one hand, Dr. Foster thinks that the 2 which increases the temperature 3 5 degrees would be a catastrophe. She says, "We can't predict the climate well enough to know 4 to expect, but it could be very serious." Others who agree with her think there may be a rise of several metres in the sea level, or predict severe storms, floods, droughts, famine, the 5 of diseases and the disappearance of species. On the other hand, there are those, like George Hambley, who are 6 to this view and believe that we should not worry about high levels of carbon dioxide in the air. They predict that any warming will be mild with few bad environmental 7 . In fact, Hambley states, "More carbon dioxide is actually a positive thing. It will make plants grow quicker; crops will produce more; it will encourage a greater 8 of animals - all of which will make life for human beings better." |
