study art in Cherbourg, France. He can be categorized as part of the movement called "naturalism"(自然主义). His understanding of the peasant" hard life was perfectly expressed in his choice of subject and
natural preference for powerful but simple drawing and coloring.
One of the most well-known of Millet"s paintings, The Gleaners(《拾穗者》),first came in a vertical
composition (垂直式构图) painted in 1854,and then there came the horizontal version in 1856, which is
now preserved in the Musee d"Orsay. It depicts women bending over in the fields to collect the leftover"s
from the harvest, and it is a monumental composition devoted to the working class.
Previously, servants were depicted in paintings as obedient to a noble or a king, and picking up what
was left of the harvest was regarded as one of the lowest jobs in Millet;s times. However, Millet offered
these women as the heroic focus of the picture. Besides, in the painting, light lights up the women"s
shoulders as they carry out their work. Behind them, the field that stretches into the distance is bathed in
golden light, under a wide , magnificent sky. The forms of the three figures, standing against the lighter field, show balance and harmony.

C. became famous for his love of the countryside
D. received his high school education in Barbizon
B. it is based on the effort of Musee d"Orsay
C. it presents women in the field as the chief focus

immense wealth. However, he died a poor man after a life that was once described as "a series of
suicide attempts". So, what went wrong?
As a young boy, Jack went to Westminster School, but after only one year he was expelled for
fighting with a teacher. He was then sent to Harrow School but only lasted three days before he was
also thrown out. He was eventually educated by private tutors.
After school, Jack went to Cambridge University. He arrived with 2,000 bottles of port, but left
without graduating - he found university life boring. Later, he joined the army, enlisting with the 7th
Hussars. As a young officer, he spent a year with the regiment in France as part of the occupation
force after Napoleon"s defeat in 1815. Jack passed the time gambling and drinking before resigning
his commission. At the age of 21, he returned to his country house just in time to receive his inheritance.
With an annual income of over ￡800,000 in today"s money, Jack was extremely rich… but it didn"t
take him long to spend it all. In 1819, he became an MP. In order to secure his seat, he offered voters
￡10 notes to vote for him, spending more than ￡10,000 in total. However, he found politics dull and
went to parliament only once. Back at home, he would often drop bank notes in the gardens of his
estate, and gave his servants vast amounts of spending money. Once he lost his racetrack winnings
(several thousand pounds) when the wind blew all the money away.
One of Jack"s favorite pastimes was hunting. He would go in any kind of weather, occasionally
with no clothes on. Sometimes, he would get up in the middle of the night, take off with a gun to look
for something to shoot.
Jack also kept a large number of pets. These included about 2,000 dogs. Some were fed on steak
and Champagne and even wore livery. A favorite horse had free range inside Halston Hall and would
often lie with Jack in front of the fire.
Jack was a bit of a practical joker, too. He once left a horse in the bedroom of a guest. Another
visitor fell asleep and woke up to find a live bear and two bulldogs in his bed. In 1826, as a result of a
bet, Jack rode his horse into the Bedford Hotel, up the grand staircase and onto the balcony. Then,
still sitting on the horse, he jumped off the balcony, landing among the diners in the restaurant below.
Another time, he invited a local doctor to dine at Halston Hall. As soon as the doctor had left,
Jack put on a highwayman"s costume and raced ahead to rob the unsuspecting man. On another
occasion, a passenger in Jack"s carriage admitted that he"d never been in an accident, so Jack drove
the carriage up a hill and turned it over. He would also slip red-hot coals into people"s pockets as a
joke.
Eventually, Jack ran out of money and fell into debt. In 1830, he fled to France to avoid his
creditors(债主), but returned a couple of years later, ending up in prison in Southwark, London. Jack
died there in 1834, a poor, lonely man.
B. Jack joined the army and succeeded in defeating Napoleon"s army in 1815.
C. Jack bribed the voters in order to gain a position of MP.
D. Jack fed his favorite horse with meat and wine and often lay with it in front of the fire.
B. debt
C. joke
D. gambling
B. Jack always punished people by all means to let out his hatred.
C. Jack always played tricks on people to have fun.
D. Jack went mad and treated people unfriendly and even cruelly.
B. luxurious
C. tricky
D. greedy
B. Jack pretended to suicide to avoid his creditors.
C. Jack lost his life in fighting with poverty.
D. All that Jack had did in his life contributed to his own failure and poverty.
course so when this show business thing doesn"t work out, you"ll have something to rely on." Mary
responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about
doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn," I don"t know how to use
a computer," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an
award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is
intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as
international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says."I didn"t want to lecture, but
I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we"re self-controlled and do our part in
managing the disease."
But she hasn"t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost
40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was
carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and
treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow
up-again-and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her
three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she
refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, "why me?" about something or other," she
insists. "It doesn"t do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments.
Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I"ve come to realize the importance of that as
I"ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."
B. She didn"t take care of her mother.
C. She didn"t complete her high school.
D. She didn"t follow her mother"s advice.
B. received many career awards
C. knew how to use a computer
D. supported the JDRF by writing
B. successful show business
C. service for an organization
D. remembrance of her mother
B. began a balanced diet
C. Med to get a treatment
D. behaved in an adult way
B. Mary has recovered from her disease.

Steve Jobs made technology fun. As tech leaders/they"re really happy if they have one hit in their life.
Steve Jobs has the Apple II, the Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Pixar.
Steve Jobs was a college dropout. He was adopted by a machinist and his wife, an accountant, They

Computer-now just called Apple-in 1976. They stayed at the company until 1985. That year, Steve
Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a dispute with the chief executive.
Mr. Jobs then formed his own company, called NeXT Computer. He rejoined Apple in 1997 after it
bought NeXT, He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most
valuable companies in the world today. However, Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple"s chief executive
in August, 2011 because of his health. He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version
that met with limited excitement. Steve left behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit
will forever be the foundation of Apple.

The US Senate confirmed Kagan on Thursday by a vote of 63-37. She replaces Justice John Paul
Stevens, who retired in June.
Kagan will take a sacred oath (誓言) to uphold the Constitution of the United States on Saturday at
a swearing-in ceremony. The new Justice will bring the number of women sitting on the nation"s highest
court to three. Kagan joins Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor-all three New Yorkers.
Kagan is the fourth woman in history to sit on the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O"Connor was
the first female Justice. She was appointed by President Ronald Reagan and served from 1981to 2006.
Kagan, who is 50 years old, is the second Justice appointed by President Barack Obama. (He
appointed Justice Sotomayor in 2009.) Obama told reporters on Thursday that Kagan will make an "
outstanding Justice who understands that her rulings affect people." He also noted that the addition of
another woman to the Supreme Court marks a sign of progress for the country. Obama and Kagan will
celebrate her confirmation with a ceremony at the White House today.
Kagan has spent most of her adult life working with the law. She served in President Clinton"s
administration as a legal adviser, was the head of Harvard Law School, and until her confirmation
Thursday, was the US Solicitor General-one of the most powerful lawyers in the federal government.
Kagan was born in New York City. She grew up in an apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan,
the strong-willed, independent middle sister sandwiched between two brothers.
Kagan"s mother was a public school teacher who taught fifth and sixth grades. Her father was a
