14．It was Perry's 32nd birthday．His wife，Amanda，had promised him something（76）special．
Perry couldn't imagine what it might be．（77）Whatever she was going to give him，it was definitely going to be a（78）surprise （惊奇），because he had given no signs suggesting that he was hoping（79）for something．In fact，his plan was simply to watch TV and ignore the event．
There seemed to（80）be nothing interesting or exciting about（81）turning thirty-two．
When he got（82）home （家）from work，Amanda gave him a kiss and a brightly packed box with a big blue bow on it．Perry wondered whether it was a book or a CD and made several （83）guesses，yet didn't get it right．
"Well，you've got me，"Perry said，looking（84）puzzled（困惑）．Then Amanda told him to open the box．After he opened it，（85）allthat he found was a little rubber doll．
"What is this？"he asked．"It is our first baby．Silly!I am pregnant!"replied Amanda．

13．You may have experienced the frustration of receiving a parking fine or finding your car towed away（拖走）after leaving

it parked for a couple of minutes．
But now a high-tech car sticker could help motorists avoid such a situation-by allowing a traffic warden（管理员）to get in touch with them．Car owners can buy the sticker and place it inside their car's windscreen，having set it up with vital information，such as their phone number．The slim design will include a sensor that will send a text message warning a driver about a coming fine when touched by a traffic warden．The message will ask them to move their car immediately．The driver could then type a reply for the warden using their smartphone，which will appear on the sticker's screen．
They may choose to write something along the lines of"back in two minutes"in a bid to avoid a fine．Frankfurt．based IT consultant，Daniel Kalliontzis，came up with the idea and is raising funds on Indiegogo to put his

sticker into production．
The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic wardens and critically，a German law．The law states："An officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle．"It could be cheaper for the authorities to contact the driver than to tow his car．
At the time of writing，Mr Kalliontzis has raised just over E3，000of his C50，000goal on Indiegogo．If he manages to raise the money，the stickers will be shipped in June 2015．But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages，because anyone could touch the smart sticker．

Some of the best known works of a11time were painted by the Dutch Post-Impressionist artist，Vincent Willem Van Gogh（1858-1890）．
And Irises（1889）is among the most recognized of his pieces．
On May 8，1889，Van Gogh was admitted to the mental hospital at Saint Paul-de-Mausole，France．During his stay he painted some 130 paintings with the surrounding gardens and clinic becoming his main subjects for painting．
Among these were the famous The Starry Night and Irises．
Inspired by the nature surrounding him，Van Gogh began his work on Irises within the first week of his stay at the hospital．Like many artists of his time Van Gogh was influenced by Japanese woodblock（木刻）prints which began in the 17th century．The use of black outlines in Irises is a typical feature of the Japanese works．It helped to strengthen the expressive power of the painting．Irises is the one of Van Gogh's paintings that has a stillness and beauty not seen in many of his later works．
The technique of Japanese artist Hokusai was used by Van Gogh with precision．The use of blue and violet（紫色）bring the flowers to life．This also created a sense of movement and depth to the flowers．Van Gogh placed the irises unevenly（不均衡地）on the page，making the flowers the focus．These are all techniques taken from Hokusai．Van Gogh added to his work his own style，however，by placing orange marigolds carefully in the background．The position of a single white iris begs many questions from the viewers that are still open for interpretation（解读）Currently one of the most expensive paintings，Irises shows Van Gogh's ability to use his surroundings to paint images that have depth and character．Although it was painted during a time of suffering for Van Gogh，he was able to channel that energy into turning bright colors，deep outline and flat paint into works of art．His influence is forever felt among admirers and artists alike．
