They made a strange pair. Don was tall and thin, with red hair and beard, sad gray eyes and a fine set o

20、f whiskers (腮須). He was so shy and correct that he was nicknamed “the Englishman”. Pablo was quite the opposite.

He was a member of the Continental Congress and also the oldest person to sign both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.Electricity and

27、weather were especially interesting to Franklin. He proved that lightning is electricity by catching sparks from a cloud while flying a kite in a storm.As Ben says, “If you would not be forgotten when you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing about. ”His t

28、heory seems to work, because Ben followed both pieces of his own advice, and we still remember him centuries later!40.

Disoriented and confused, he wondered if the Painting Villa

43、ge was really the vil?鄄lage described in a New York Times report, which drew him from New York to the village earlier this month. “The New York Times said Dafen was a village, but what I saw is a modern city, with lots of shops, buildings, and factories,” Mandiberg told the Shen?鄄zhen Daily after sp

44、ending a week there. An assistant professor with the Department of Media Culture of the City University of New York, Mandiberg became interested in Dafen after reading a New York Times report entitled “Own Original Chinese Copies of Real Western Art” published July 15, 2005. He came to Dafen to shoo

45、t a 10-minute documentary for student research and screening in galleries. Mandiberg spent a whole week talking to painters, and visiting shops, museums and factories. It was a brand-new experience for him, as he had never seen such mass-production of art._. In one of the factories, the process of p

46、roducing a painting is broken down into five stages, with skillful painters in charge of the first and final stages. In the other factory, the painting is produced in a 20-part process. “Dafen is a good place for painters to make a living. In New York, most artists have to do other jobs, like teachi

47、ng or working in galleries, to support them?鄄selves,” said Mandiberg. However, Mandiberg is not optimistic about the future of original works from the village. “Some museums in Dafen sell originals at prices as high as $3,000, but foreigners will not buy them. When people buy a painting, they want i

48、dentification with artists. People dont spend over $500 on an object which they are not familiar with,” he said.51. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.) _52.
