  Today, the paintings by Vincent van Gogh(梵高)are world-famous and worth millions of dollars but while he was alive, Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting.He was a lonely, unhappy man suffering from mental illness, and he died at 37.

  Vincent van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853.His first connection with paintings came in 1869, when he got a job in the Goupil Gallery.He worked for this art dealer(经销商)in London and Paris for four years before he became a teacher in England for a short time.He moved back to France in 1877 and soon began to paint.

  Gogh was influenced by the famous artists that he met in Paris, where he returned to live in 1886.He did not stay long in the French capital.He was attracted by the vivid(鲜艳的)colors of the countryside and, in 1888, he moved to Aries, a small town in the south of France.There, he painted his most famous paintings, using strong brush strokes(画笔的笔触)and bright colors.Vincent van Gogh mainly painted landscapes(风景画), but he also produced portraits(肖像)of local people, such as the doctor and the postman.

Daniel Brown was just five years old when he climbed into the family car and let it roll away down the road. He was only three when he flooded the kitchen.
His mother, Angela Brown, is in despair. She is very busy looking after her new baby, a little girl called Laura, as well as Daniel. She told us, “Daniel is so full of curiosity.”At that moment, we hear a huge crash and then silence. We go upstairs and find Daniel crawling out of a wardrobe(衣橱)he has pulled over onto the floors, with a book in his hand.“It’s for you, Mum,” he says and looks up at his mum and smiles. Seven-year-old Daniel has a lovely face. He has golden hair, big brown eyes, and a friendly smile. I have to admit that Daniel doesn’t look like a naughty boy.
Angela told me all about it, “Once I found him as he was about to put Jasper in the washing machine.”Jasper, she explained, is the Browns’dog. “When I asked him why, he said that he thought Jasper was dirty! It’s amazing how one little boy can cause so much trouble. Another time he cut off all the hair of the little girl next door. She was going to attend her sister’s wedding and the neighbors haven’t spoken to us since.
Angela told me about Daniel’s most expensive crime “I was about to do the washing up when the baby started crying. Daniel decided to help and filled the kitchen sink with water. When I came in, the water was already flooding the kitchen and was about to flood the hall. The carpet was ruined and had to be replaced. I hope things will get better as he gets older.”
Amazingly, Daniel is quite well behaved in school. This may be because he is rarely bored. Meanwhile he continues to be the naughtiest little boy in England. Will his baby sister Laura grow up to be the naughtiest little girl?
