If you are crazy about paintings, you shouldn’t miss the following four famous masterpieces which have stood the test of time.

The Arnolfini Portrait

Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.

The Starry Night

Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas(帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy -de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works.

The Harvesters

The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.

Guernica

Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofaí in Madrid.

1.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?

A.The Arnolfini Portrait B.The Starry Night.

C.The Harvesters. D.Guernica.

2.What do we know about the painting The Starry Night?

A.It was painted on wood in oil.

B.It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.

C.It described the painter’s life in hospital.

D.It was given away to the museum by a collector.

3.Who created the painting describing the tragedy of war?

A.Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B.Vincent van Gogh.

C.Jan van Eyck. D.Pablo Picasso.

How to volunteer abroad

There is so much good to do in the world! If you are planning a trip, here are some pointers to make the most of your volunteer opportunities.

Prepare in advance. 1.. Find out what languages are spoken, any cultural differences and any issues of which you should be aware. You must have a heart to serve, and also know how to be careful.

Go in with modesty. When visiting another culture, the first step should be humility. Go with caring hearts, open minds, and listening ears. Keep in mind that you are a guest. 2.. You won’t make any true progress. You might build a home for a family in need, but you won’t build trust.

3.. When you volunteer abroad, you should be doing it with a full heart. It’s important to eat with locals, share in their customs, and attend their activities. You must engage yourself fully in the volunteer opportunity, which shows that you care about what you’re doing together.

Share when you return. Don’t just keep that volunteer experience in your head or in your journal. 4., but even better is sharing it in one-on-one or group conversations. In these conversations, it’s not just “I dug a well and helped a community gain 20 more gallons of fresh water a day.” Yes, that is important! 5..

International volunteering is a gift. It is actually more of a gift for you than the recipients. Through the lessons you learn, you become a better person, a stronger leader.

A. Consider the time outside as an opportunity

B. Posting it on social media is a positive idea

C. Use their local techniques

D. If you don’t do this, you risk damaging the relationship at the start

E. Many people go in to “do the job” and then go back to their hotels

F. Make sure you take time to understand the host country before you go

G. Even more important is being sincere and learning more about yourself

Heading overseas on a business trip or just for pleasure any time soon？If so，have you thought about what you are going to do about communication？You may need to arrange cab service or get directions to an attraction，not to mention you want to stay in touch with the folks back home.

Hope you aren’t counting_on your personal cell phone.Industry experts estimate that most American cell phones won’t work overseas due to compatibility (兼容性) issues.And even if yours did work，the roaming (漫游) charges would be too high.

So what are your choices？You could rent a phone with a local number in the country you’re traveling to，but that wouldn’t do you much good if you’re constantly on the go.A more cost­effective way would be to rent a satellite phone from a company like Global Cellular Rental.

The process is amazingly fast and simple.All you have to do is to log onto the company’s website，www.globalcellularrental.com，and place an order.The site will show you the countries you will be traveling to and ask you how long you will need the phone.The company then ships a cell phone directly to you anywhere in the world.The phone arrives with complete instructions.

The traveler also learns his overseas phone number well in advance，enabling him to inform all vital contacts of the number before he ever steps on a plane.

Roaming rates are usually 80 percent less than those charged by American service providers.Calls back to the US can be discounted 40 percent or more.The rentals cost is just $5 per day，and discount packages are available for long­term rentals of two months or more.

This cell phone solution is becoming so popular that Global Cellular Rental actually has relationships with hotel chains around the world to keep phones in stock for hotel guests.And for those whose journey really takes them off the beaten track，the company can also rent satellite phones to them.These phones work anywhere in the world as long as you are outside.

The minute you start talking about what you’re going to do if you lose, you have lost.

Some people have a great fear of losing. In fact, fear is not the best description of what they have. It is more like a crazy phobia(恐惧症) that they cannot keep away from. Day after day, these people allow their fear of losing to control everything in their lives. They are so afraid of losing that they try to keep away from losing without considering the cost of doing so.

When things start to get out of control, fear begins to come in. As the fear of losing or getting hurt overwhelms(充溢) them, they quickly look for excuses, rather than fight back or find a way to deal with their fear. They never realize that losing is just as common as eating and breathing.

If one is given a choice, who wouldn’t prefer winning over losing? After all, winning is exciting and winning is what living is all about. Although we might try hard all the time, we’re not going to win every time. In fact, most of us are going to lose a lot more often than we win and, believe it or not, it’s not all bad.

In order to make the most of our abilities ，we have to take risks every now and then. When we take risks, we might get knocked down, or even knocked flat, but with each failure and each loss, we have an opportunity to get better and get closer to the life we expect.

1.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A.The Bad Effects of Losing

B.Make the Most of Every Success

C.We Win Some and We Lose Some

D.Winning Is the Main Purpose in Life

2.By saying the underlined sentence “They are so afraid. . .” in paragraph 2, the author means　　　　　　　 .

A.one should avoid losing by using any kind of means

B.one is too afraid to deal with losing properly by himself

C.one is so afraid of losing that he can’t step forward at all

D.one should make efforts to deal with losing rather than avoid it

3.We can know from the passage that　　　　　　　 .

A.fear works most when one is eager to win

B.losing is a common part of our daily lives

C.one should avoid losing without considering the cost

D.the more losing one experiences, the stronger one will become

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
