It was Thanksgiving Day. Mrs. Klein came into the classroom. After saying hello to the students, she told them to   36   a picture of something to show their thanks. She knew that most of the class would draw pictures of turkeys or Thanksgiving  37  with lots of food.

What made Mrs. Klein surprised was Douglas’s picture. Douglas was such a  38  boy that he always stayed away from the others. Douglas’s drawing was  39   : a hand. But whose hand?

The class became   40   his picture.“I think it’s the hand of a(n)   41    ,”said Frank, “because he or she raises the turkeys.”

“It looks more like a policeman’s hand, and it   42   us, I think,”said Lavini.

...

Mrs. Klein was very happy to see that the class showed so much interest in Douglas’s picture. When the others were at work on another project, she   43   to him and asked whose hand it was. Douglas answered in a very low voice, “It’s   44   ,Teacher.”

Then Mrs. Klein remembered that she had taken Douglas by the hand from time to time. She often did that with the children. But that had so much    45    to Douglas.

Perhaps, she thought, this was her Thanksgiving, and everybody’s Thanksgiving — not the things we receive, but the small ways that we give something to others.

My cousin Douglas’ parents were going to teach in Africa, but they thought it might be better for him to stay in this country to go to school, so he would come to stay with my family for a year.

We went to pick him up at the airport. He was standing all alone, looking around for someone to meet him. Everyone in my family has light brown hair and green eyes, but Douglas has dark hair and dark eyes. He started to smile shyly after Mother hugged him.

When we got back home and Douglas started putting his things away, I could not believe it. All of his clothes were the same, all white shirts and dark blue shorts. He even had a dark blue jacket with a tie! “How come you wear only one kind of clothes?”I asked him.

“That’s the way my school has always been,” he said. “We have to wear uniforms.”

“Yuck,” I said. “I would hate having to wear the same thing every day. You’re going to look pretty weird if you come to school in a jacket and tie.”

Douglas looked worried. Suddenly, I felt bad. I didn’t mean to hurt his feelings. After all, it was not easy to come all this way to live with some strange family for a year. Then and there I decided that I was going to look after my cousin and try to make this year as good as possible for him.

Tim Linhart is an American. He worked as an ice sculptor (雕刻家) for many years. In the late 1990s, he went to Sweden to create some sculptures for an ice hotel. While there, he met his future wife and decided to stay.

In 1998, Tim began sculpting a violin from ice. It was so large that he had to use strings (弦) from a piano. He tried playing the violin when it was finished, and was so excited by the beautiful sound it made. He ran to tell his friends. They all thought he was crazy!

However, Tim knew that he had to create more. He uses white ice which is a mixture of snow and water. It takes him about five to six days to sculpt something like a violin.

It was not long before Tim had made enough different instruments( 乐器) to create his own orchestra (管弦乐队). It includes violins, guitars, drums, etc. To make sure the instruments do not melt (融化), the orchestra has to perform in a cold environment. Many members of the orchestra wear gloves while they are playing. Some of them do not, as it is hard to play an instrument like the violin with gloves on!

During one of the orchestra’s first concerts, they found that the listeners increased the room temperature. This was because of human body heat and breath. Some instruments began to melt. The concert was not a success. Tim decided to build his own concert hall. The temperature there is able to remain at - 5℃ throughout the concert.

Tim’s orchestra now performs every year, not only in Sweden but also in the USA and Italy.

(    )57. Why did Tim go to Sweden in the late 1990s?

A. To visit his friends.    B. To work for a hotel.    C. To learn sculpting.

(    )58. What is special about Tim’s orchestra?

A. It only performs in winter. B. It only performs in Sweden.

C. All the instruments are made by Tim.

(    )59. If one wants to know why Tim built his own concert hall, where can he find the answer?

A. In Paragraph 3.    B. In Paragraph 4.    C. In Paragraph 5.

(    )60. Why did the writer write the passage?

A. To introduce a creative sculptor and his “ice music”. 

B. To encourage readers to try Tim’s instruments.

C. To show the great use of ice.

Vincent van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853 in a small village in the Netherlands.     61       Van Gogh stopped going to school around age 15 and, soon after, began working as an art dealer. The job required him to work in different European countries. After some time, Van Gogh felt he didn’t like selling art, so he became a preacher (牧师) like his father.   62                 

Around 1880, Van Gogh gave up preaching(讲道), and decided to become an artist. ___63_____ However, he produced over 2,000 works of art. Some of his paintings are now among the world’s most popular and expensive works of art.

____64____ He was often depressed (抑郁的), and unhappy with his art. Today, his paintings sell for millions of dollars but when he was an artist, he could not make enough money. He lived in poor conditions and often had to borrow money from his brother for food and art supplies (美术用品). To make things worse, Van Gogh failed at many of his personal relationships and spent much of his time alone.       65         

Vincent van Gogh’s life is a very sad story. During the ten hard years as an artist, he had only sold one painting. In the end, however, it was Van Gogh’s ability to show his sadness through his art that made him world-famous.
