Perhaps Vincent van Gogh (1853 -1890) isn’t the most famous artist in the world, but his personal story is probably the most well-known. The paintings he created didn’t become famous until after he died.

Van Gogh was born to a rich family in the Netherlands (荷兰). He started his career working for an art dealer(艺术品商). But then he tried other things like teaching in England. He also tried to become a priest (牧师) but failed the exams.

Finally, he found something else to believe in when he lived in Belgium (比利时) — art. He returned to his childhood love of painting and drawing.

He was an important artist in a generation that challenged the Impressionist (印象派) style. Post-Impressionists, like Van Gogh, wanted to show the world as it felt to them, not always as it looked.

Van Gogh used different forms and colors to make his art more abstract. The way he used colors was especially impressive. In Wheatfield with Crows (1890), the colors are very intense (强烈的). Corn is yellow, grass is green, and crows (乌鸦) are black. But the colors are used in such a way that it looks better than a photograph.

Unfortunately, Van Gogh’s art wasn’t very popular while he was alive. He was poor and was thought to have mental problems, which led to his death. What had made him so sad? It could have been the troubles he faced working as an artist in a practical world.

FOOD, football, and fashion – Milan has it all. The city is perhaps most famous for its annual (一年一度的) Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo(米兰世博会), the theme of which is food and nutrition（营养）.

Milan may not be the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy. Rome is the most famous city in Italian history, Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals(运河) and Florence is popular with the art lovers. Yet Milan can often be let off tourists’ lists. But although some see Milan as the “Ugly Sister” of these cities, in 2015, the city is “Suddenly back in fashion in a big way”.

The stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years, both in Series A (甲级联赛) and the European Champions league（欧比赛）.

So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem “Soulless(缺乏灵魂的)” as Lonely Planet said, it still has “a serious sense of history and place”. Many people will be discovering it this year, and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems. Will you?

Most people know what a giraffe looks like. They’re tall, and famous for their long necks that allow them to reach the leaves at the top of the trees that other animals can’t reach. With its 6-foot-long legs and 6-foot-long neck a giraffe can grow over 18 feet tall. That’s almost as tall as a two-floor building! Even a baby giraffe has a long neck and long legs. In fact, a baby giraffe can be feet tall at birth and can stand up in an hour. A giraffe’s heart is also long, with a heart being up to two feet. It takes a strong heart to move blood up the long neck into the brain. The giraffe has special valve(瓣膜) in its blood vessels((血管). These valves prevent blood from rushing to the head when the giraffe bend low to drink. The giraffe must spread its long legs apart so that its long neck can reach the water. Since it can’t protect itself when in this position, it doesn’t drink very often. They wisely choose plants to get water. And speaking of food that a giraffe likes best is the leaves of acacia trees(金合欢树).
