As he grew up, Augustus liked racing his friends around the block, buying candies at the store, especially drawingdrawing pictures of the shoemakers at his fathers shoe shop. At the age of 13, his father told him it was time to go to work. Augustus replied, I should like it if I could do something which would help me to be an artist. He began as an apprentice to a cameo cutter out of stone and shell, and carved cameos of people, lions, and even the head of Hercules from Greek mythology, when the Civil War had just begun. At 19, with his earnings and his parents support, he travelled to Paris and Rome for further training and artistic study. Before he left, he drew a portrait of his mother in pencil and sculpted a small bust(半身像) of his father out of clay. Then, 22-year-old Augustus opened an art studio in Rome and worked on his first life-sized sculpture, called Hiawatha. An art patron was impressed with this sculpture and promised to help Augustus until your genius and labors shall have met with the reward to which I feel they are entitled. In 1876, Augustus was chosen to design a monument to the Civil War hero Admiral David Farragut of the U. S. Navy. pleted five years later, when he was 33, his first major sculpture for the U. S. was unveiled at Madison Square in New York City, the sculptors boyhood home. One art critic called it the best monument of the kind the city has to show. Then the giant Standing Lincoln in Lincoln Park, Chicago in a setting by architect White, 1884-1887, was considered the finest portrait statue in the U. S. However, in 1900, aged 52, his doctors told him he had cancer. Even though he was often ill, he continued to work at his home and studio in Cornish, New Hampshire. In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt requested that Augustus redesign American coinsto convey the strength of the nation. Augustus made lifelike pencil sketches of his coin designs. Yet, Augustus died in August 1907, two months before his l0-dollar and 20-dollar gold coins were issued. Augustus Saint-Gaudens had fulfilled his dream-and more! He was one of the greatest American sculptors not only of his day but also of all time.24. What did Augustus like doing as a child?A. He enjoyed selling candies at the store.B.

They usually tell untruthful stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past. Lying is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents. If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories, then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years. Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends. This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to bee presentable and acceptable to other people. In some instances, teenagers tell untruthful statements to avoid criticisms from their families and friends. As teenagers grow, lying bees one of their habits. Their knowledge on making up untruthful stories bees more developed. People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines and if they fail to acplish and do their tasks efficiently. Some of the mon lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home. The danger involved in frequent lying is when it bees a character. Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological(病态的) lying. Pathological lying is a mental health condition, which is associated with individuals who have the urge to tell untruthful statements. Patients suffering from it make up stories about everything and anything. These individuals lie to meet the standards of other people who they want to please. These patients deceive other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure. One of the best ways of treating pathological liars is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times. This may be hard for them, but as they are accustomed to it, they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false stories.28.

You can handcraft your own by mixing flour, water, olive oil, and salt into a dough, rolling it thin, cutting it into squares, and then baking them briefly. 36 At a dinner party, when one of the hosts announced that she was going to whip up some ice cream for dessert, I was skeptical. 37 But my friend filled a big bag with ice and salt, and a small bag with a mixture of half-and-half, vanilla juice, and sugar. She placed the smaller bag in the bigger bag, sealing it shut. Then she handed the bag- within-a-bag to her husband who shook it vigorously. 38 By God, it was ice cream. 39 If you simply bine and freeze ice-cream ingredients, the water in the mixture will form into ice crystals. Plenty of people have invented ways of getting around using a machine; plenty of people made ice cream before the machine was invented. A cookbook author suggests putting your base straight into the freezer and then taking it out, every thirty minutes or so, for a good stir. The other night, I tried making it using the bag method. After my gallon-size ziplock sprang a leak, spraying salt water across the floor, I switched to using a big glass jar, tucking the cream-filled bag inside it. After fifteen minutes of shaking, I opened the jar. 40 Do try this at home, as a party trick on a hot summer night.A. Making ice cream typically involves some equipment.B. No matter how you make ice cream, the key is to keep the mixture moving.C. You will undoubtedly be employed by a famous restaurant.D.

You could probably convince your guests you got them at a famous restaurant.G. Several minutes passed, and the substance became solid.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A.B.C和D四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。Traditional fairytales are being abandoned by parents because they are too scary for their young children, a study found.Research revealed one in five parents has _41_ old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in _42_of more modern books.
