Wherever travellers go, cameras are sure to follow. It's great fun to take photos, and even more fun to show slides of the trip to friends and relatives when they come back home.

There's Aunt Sarah, smiling in front of Buckingham Palace, Aunt Sarah, smiling under the Eiffel Tower, and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like;they also know what Europe's great landmarks(地标)look like.

But a young man named David, just back from a trip to Greece, asked a few friends over to see his slides. The young man had an artist's eye. His pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead, he took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets, and bearded priests(牧师)bending over their Bibles. He captured(抓住)the colour and character of the country. His friends were so interested that they asked for more.

Any amateur(外行)can do the same. All he needs is a simple camera and a little sensitivity(灵敏度). When he learns that a nation lives in its people as well as in its landmarks, he moves from an amateur to an artist.

1.People who watch Aunt Sarah's slides would be ________.

A.frightened B.excited

C.bored D.sad

2.David's pictures were about ________.

A.landmarks B.architectures

C.people D.history

3.A traveller can become an artist if he ________.

A.takes a camera with him

B.knows the history of a place

C.is interested in not only the landmarks but also the people of a place

D.learns how to draw and paint pictures of a place

Andrew was puzzled. He was sitting in class, but had no idea what the other students were talking about. He had done his homework, paid attention to lectures, and taken notes, but nothing was familiar. “Everyone is so much cleverer than I am,” he thought. It was a strange feeling, as he was always a good student in high school.

He felt even more puzzled a few days later. He got lost on his way to his favorite cinema. What’s worse, he began having trouble finding the right words when speaking. He asked, “What’s for dinner, Mom?” after he had just eaten. Poor Andrew, he was only 15!

His parents were worried and took Andrew to see a doctor. A brain scan(扫描) made it clear: Andrew had a malignant brain tumor(恶性脑肿瘤) . It was pressing on the part of the brain that makes new memory. He should be operated on as soon as possible. Andrew was scared!

Doctors removed the tumor, but Andrew’s memory was still poor. He was told he would probably never go back to school. Andrew was eager to enter a university, but it seemed that his dream wouldn’t come true.

“Even though they told me this, I knew I wanted to go back to school,” Andrew said. “I wanted to get my memory back.”

Andrew began by auditing(旁听) an English class at a nearby school. In class, he took notes carefully and read his notes several times a day, then typed them again and again. He studied twelve hours a day, seven days a week. He worked ten times harder than other students. In 2007, at age 29, he graduated from a local university. Six months later, Andrew found a job.
