I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange glow of the lava(火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!The next day, I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadnt painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas(画布) in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $ 1500 before I even had time to frame it.The past six years have been filled with adventures.

Each building serves a definite purpose. People loving in different ways have developed different styles of architecture to suit their special needs.The development of architecture has been a long, long progress, at first, people lived in caves. Then, experimenting with whatever material they could find- wood, mud, stone, plants-they started to build homes to protect themselves from the bad weather and danger.However, wood and plants easily caught fire, so important buildings were probably the pyramids in Egypt.In the 1800s, for the first time in centuries, new building materials were available. The new materials included iron, steel, concrete and large sheets of glass. One of the first buildings using these new materials was built in the US by the architect Louis Sullivan. It was the Guaranty Building in New York, built in 1894. it had a steel frame.The 20th century is one of the greatest periods in the history of architecture. It brought a revolution in the design of buildings. Architects thought that old cities should be destroyed and replaced with tall concrete towers connected on many levels by bridges and roads. During the 1950s many cities, particularly in the US, became involved on urban renewal programs. Many older buildings were destroyed. However, today, architects realize that older buildings are of historic importance. So they try to make them useful once again or to design new buildings so that they fit comfortably with the old. Architects seem to have realized that past and present can live side by side.31. According to the article, what is the difference between architecture and other art forms?A. The development of architecture has been a long, long process.B. Architecture is an art that has a practical basis.C. Past and present can live side by side in the field of architectureD.

Not long before the Guaranty Building was built.D. When the pyramids in Egypt were built.34. Why is the 20th century one of the greatest periods in the history of architecture?A. Because more and more buildings were built with iron, steel, concrete and glass.B. Because there was a revolution in the design of new buildings.C. Because old buildings are urban renewal programs in the US.D. Because there were urban renewal programs in the US.35.

But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.36“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it tow years ago,” the museum said. 3738 “It is very interesting that when youre not looking at her, she sees to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “Its because direct vision is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. 39In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two yeas later.40A.
