He hopes to（）his paintings before the public in New York very soon.

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public.Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before.He hopes the public will listen and understand what he wants to teach them, and what he wants them to learn from him.

What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words.They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us.Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights.Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it.Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a decaying leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world.Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. 1.An artist hopes that the public will ____. A.understand him and learn from him B.notice only shapes and colors in his work C.teach him something D.believe what he says in his work 2.It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because he/ she ___.

There was a man who had four sons. He hoped his sons could learn not to judge things too quickly. So one day he gavehis four sons a task, asking each of them to go to see a pear tree at a distance in different seasons. The first son set out in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in autumn. When all of them returned home, the man called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said the tree was ugly, bent, without leaves and therefore hopeless. The second son said it was not like that, but the tree was covered with green buds (芽 and full of hope. The third son disagreed, saying that it was full of flowers which smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, and that hehad never seen such beautiful scenery. The last son disagreed with all of them, saying that the tree was filled with fruits, full of life and happiness.

John Preston lives in a flat in north London. He moved there after his wife died four years ago to be close to his daughter’s family, and because his big detached house and garden were too much work for him as he got older. It’s easier in the flat because the letting agent does everything that needs doing. The agent has the not satisfied because the window frames need painted two years ago, but the painters didn’t do it very well, so they need doing again. John pays over ￡1,500 a year for service and maintenance, and he thinks that it’s not good enough because the flats look shabby and a lot of things need repairing.

His daughter June, and her husband, Pete, on the other hand, have to do everything themselves or find builders to do it. They live in a large semi-detached house further out from the center of London than John, but they are still near enough to see him often. They live in the suburbs with a nice garden when their children play. They moved there four years ago to have more space. The only drawback is that June’s husband has to commute into the centre of London every day, but, overall, they are happy with their decision. When they bought the house, a lot needed doing to it and still does. June says, “We have a list of things to do as long as your arm-the roof needs repairing and the chimney needs mending. The bedrooms need decorating and we haven’t had the broken windowpanes replaced yet in the conservatory. We need to fix the gate and repair the path-it looks dreadful when you arrive. 31. John lives in the centre of London.（） 32. The agent hasn’t done anything to John’s flat.（） 33. June and Pete live near to John.（） 34. There are broken windowpanes in conservatory.（） 35.
