Born into a poor family，two of the Durers" children still had a dream for art，but they knew their father could not afford to send either of them to the academy(院校)．
After discussions，the two boys finally agreed to toss a coin．The loser would go to the nearby mines and support his brother while he attended the academy．Then，when the winner completed his studies，he would support the other brother，either with sales of his art work or，if necessary，by working in the mines．So they tossed a coin．Albrecht Durer won the toss and went to Nuremberg．Albert went to the dangerous mines and financed his brother，whose work at the academy was almost an immediate success，and by graduation，he was beginning to earn considerable fees for his works．

Albert wiped the tears from his cheeks，glanced at the faces he loved，and said softly，“No，brother．It is too late for me．Look….look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been broken at least once，and lately I have been suffering from arthritis(关节炎)so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast，much 1ess make lines on canvas(画布)with a pen or a brush．No，brother …for me it is too 1ate．”

I was successful at my job. I worked very hard, but it 36 me and my family a fabulous (极好的) lifestyle. I’d worked for the same company for twenty years and had worked my way up to department director. 37 , one afternoon last May, I was called to the office, and it was 38 explained to me that they were letting me go. I just sat there 39 they talked on and all I could think was, “I’ve 40 .” I’d been so well respected, but 41 I was of no value.
For six weeks, I was in a very 42 place. I wandered around my house like a zombie (僵尸). I could 43 things needed doing, but would not do anything. My beliefs in looking forward and seeing the positive (积极的) in everything 44 me.
Then, in late June, my youngest son’s football team made the city cup final. The year before, he’d been very sad when I 45 the same final, so he was 46 when I told him I’d go. Not only did they win, but the look on his face as he saw me 47 him on was unbelievable, From then on, I spent the summer enjoying my some and their passions (激情). I attended match after match and performances of my elder son’s band — I 48 went to another city to watch him play. These moments were so 49 . My life had been so much devoted to 50 for so long, and I felt 51 that my sons were happy to welcome me into their world.
52 , being unemployed gave me back a sense of purpose --- I was someone’s mum! I felt a sense of being 53 Again. Now I feel more positive about my professional 54 and I’m getting on better with my family than I ever have. Losing my job made me realize just how 55 it is to achieve real balance in life.

Michael Jackson fans are coming a Chicago museum to see a 3,000 year old Egyptian statue which looks remarkably like the late king of pop. Staff have been rushed off their feet since Jackson"s death as thousands of mourners visit the exhibition to pay tribute to the star.
The statue has skinny cheeks and - most strikingly - a tipless nose. It is on display at the Ancient Egypt exhibition at The Field Museum in the United States. The bust(半身像) was bought in Cairo in 1889 and has been on display at the museum for 21 years.
But its popularity has risen rapidly since Michael Jackson"s death after fans started writing about the ancient statue on internet blogs. The bust was carved during the New Kingdom Period, which ran between 1550 BC to 1050 BC. This was around the same time as famous Egyptians Ramesses and King Tut.
The museum"s 4,500 daily visitors are banned from touching or kissing the statue, which is protected behind a glass screen. Astonished fans stand admiring the statue and discussing its likeness with others who have travelled to see it.
Darnell Williams, the director of guest relations, said some fans were treating a visit to the museum like a pilgrimage(朝圣). He said: "The statue has been here for years but interest has been raised since Michael Jackson"s death. People are coming from all over the country to see the statue and compare its likeness to the king of pop.
"They want to touch and kiss the model like it is some sort of God but it is behind a screen to protect it from damage. Once people see it they are astounded and can"t stop talking about its likeness. It really is remarkable."
James Phillips, manager of near east and north African exhibits, said little was known about the origins of the model.
He said: "The likeness is astonishing but I think it is probably a coincidence. We do not believe Michael Jackson ever visited the museum or saw the exhibit and there is therefore little chance he based his image on it. We believe the model is missing a nose because early Christians or Muslims removed noses from paintings and models to make them non-human.
小题1:Many people are streaming to see the Egyptian statue to _______.| A．satisfy their curiosity | | B．show their respect to Jackson | | C．enjoy the splendid Egyptian culture | | D．learn about the history of Egyptian |
小题2:The underlined words “rushed off their feet” in the first paragraph mean”______”.| A．extremely busy | B．rather tired | | C．very annoyed | D．quite surprised |
小题3:The statue is rapidly getting popular mainly because of ________.| A．Jackson’s death | B．its archaeological value | | C．the Internet | D．its long history |
小题4:It can be inferred that the exhibits at the Ancient Egypt exhibition are classified by _________. |
