摘要： From the passage we can infer that . A. the writer is a brave man who dare face complaints B. the writer became a famous song writer eventually C. the writer is popular teacher at the university D. the writer’s articles are welcomed by his students (B) Lego, the inventor of those colourful bricks that have inspired kids’ imaginations world-wide, has celebrated its 50th anniversary. On January 28, 1958, a man named Godtfred Kirk Christiansen created the plastic building bricks that can now be found in almost every child’s toy box. The simple building block has become one of the most well-known and popular toys around the world. “The Lego brick continues to be very attractive, because it allows children, and adults, to develop their creativity and imagination, said Charlotte Simonsen, a spokeswoman for the Danish Lego company. The company’s building brick allows an infinite number of links. With just two bricks there are 24 different links, and with six, there are 915 million possibilities, according to Lego. A half century after its creation, more than 400 million children and adults spend five billion hours a year putting the bricks together and pulling them apart. Also, the bricks made today can still interlock with those made in 1958. Lego bricks are not just children’s play: they also attract the interest of adults. South Korean adventurer, Heo Young-Ho, who climbed Mount Everest in 1987, left a Lego toy behind in the snow during his climb. After its great success Lego experienced a severe crisis at the end of the 1990s, hit hard by fierce competition from electronic games. This so-called “Toy of the Century then suffered a dark period that lasted several years. With great effort, the company began to prosper again, and in 2006 it earned about 1.5 billion dollars in 130 countries. Seven boxes of Lego are now sold every second around the world, and 19 billion bricks are produced each year: enough to encircle the earth five times!

One afternoon, in Paris, I took a trip to an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view (看) of some great paintings of excellent artists.

A young couple looking at the paintings in front of me were talking non-stop. I watched them a moment and decided she was doing all the talking. In fact, I was surprised at this man for putting up with her everlasting speech. Bored by their noise, I moved on.

I met them several times as I moved through those rooms of art. Each time I heard her voice, I moved away at once.

I was standing at the museum gift shop buying some cards when the couple walked to the exit (出口).

“He’s a brave man,” said the shop assistant. “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. But he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”

It explained the non-stop talk! A sudden sense of shame came to my heart for what I was thinking just now. “But what does he get out of the art?” I asked.

“His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”

At that moment I realized what is patience, courage and love. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person who can’t see and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness change his love towards art. And I felt the love shared by the two as I watched them walking away holding each other’s hands.
