"By remving needless details in pursuit f perfectin, Van Den fllwed in the ftsteps f many great artists, writers, cmpsers, and painters."
Juhani Murrs made an unexpected discvery during his visits t art galleries when he wrked fr an rganizatin in H Chi Minh City in 1990.A small still life in an unnticeable gallery cmmanded the Finnish physician's attentin. "It was nt an eye-catching il painting, yet its dark, mysterius clrs and the emtinal tensin f its disciplined cmpsitin set it apart." Thus began a lng jurney f discvering the art and life f Van Den, a Buddhist f mixed Chinese and Vietnamese ancestry wh studied in Paris fr less than tw years during the first French Indchina War.
Murrs' bigraphy is, by necessity, brief because there is limited knwledge f the artist, mstly in ral way by family and friends. Many f his paintings did nt survive the damp Sutheast Asian climate nr the plitical chas f his lifetime. Hwever, the authr's research appears t be extensive, as much a years-lng spiritual examinatin f Van Den as a histrical ne. The artist's lve fr cuntry life is apparent in his wrk, and it is said by thse wh knew him that he preferred t paint cuntryside scenes clse t his heart and wrked as an utsider, uninterested in the mre elegant wrk f academically recgnized painters. Despite these limitatins, Van Den wn Vietnam's mst hnrable art award in 1960.
Murrs gives an in-depth lk int the life f this little-knwn unsung master. The bk intrduces the readers t Van Den's art with phtgraphs f his paintings, accmpanied by shrt stries behind them. The bk is as quiet as the artist's wrk, but it is a satisfying read. Each strke f wrds in the bk cnnects t the readers; the narrative awakens the artistic spirit in each ne f us, encuraging us t fllw ur heart.
4．What f Van Den first impressed Juhani Murrs?
A.His life stry.B.His painting style.
C.His birth place.D.His emtinal state.
5．What can we learn abut Van Den?
A.His wrks are rarely available tday.
B.He shwed great lve fr his cuntry.
C.His wrks were f mysterius themes.
D.He ever travelled in China and Vietnam.
6．Why is Murrs' bigraphy brief?
A.Van Den's art wasn't well accepted.
B.Murrs had limited knwledge f art.
C.Murrs had gained little primary data.
D.Van Den's family kept everything back.
7．Which f the fllwing can describe this bk?
A.Amusing.B.Detailed.C.Objective.D.Inspiratinal.
T study the behavir f wild animals, scientists rutinely tag them with GPS lcatin trackers. But such devices' battery capacity limits hw lng they perate, ften bringing an early end t significant cnservatin wrk. Slar-pwered trackers are als a pr chice fr they break easily and dn't wrk fr night creatures.
S bilgist Rasmus W. H. f the University f Cpenhagen and his clleagues turned t anther abundant pwer surce. After sme trial and errr, they finally came up with a tiny generatr pwered by a pendulum (摆锤) inside a clsed device. As the tagged animal mves, the swinging pendulum frces a ring t slide acrss a cpper cil, generating current which is then used t pwer the sensrs fr GPS unit.
The tracker, which culd theretically survive fr the entire life span f an active animal, was recently tested n dmestic dgs, a wild pny and a Eurpean bisn. The dgs and bisn in the study were active enugh t create the energy fr ne GPS transmissin cycle per day fr 14 days and 17 days, respectively. One f the wild pny's trackers lasted at least 146 days but didn't prduce enugh pwer fr daily transmissins, the researchers reprted in Pls One.
The limited pwer generated by the animals' mvements means the new tracker isn't ready fr prime time just yet, says eclgist Emily Studd f British Clumbia's Thmpsn Rivers University, wh wasn't invlved in the study. When researchers want t keep clse track f animals, they ften need GPS fixes mre than nce a day. But Studd says that with a bit mre develpment, this culd be a game changer fr wild-life animal research and mnitring.
Rasmus and his clleagues hpe cnservatin wrkers can ne day use this technlgy t track species such as tigers, lepards and wlves, which can easily destry slar-pwered trackers and which hunt and travel at night.
8．What is ne advantage f the new tracker ver a slar-pwered ne?
A.It is safer.B.It is tugher.C.It is greener.D.It is cheaper.
9．What is the pwer surce f the new tracker?
A.The sun.B.The battery.C.The animal.D.The pendulum.
10．What des the test shw abut the new tracker?
A.It still needs sme imprvement.B.It perfrms like clckwrk.
C.It wrks better n large animals.D.It is a nice husehld appliance.
11．Hw des Emily Studd feel abut the future f the new tracker?
A.Dubtful.B.Hpeful.C.Cncerned.D.Definite.
The year is 1763, and a 7-year-ld Mzart is abut t set ff n a tur arund Eurpe that will jump-start the Mzart legend. Mzart had a trick up his sleeve.

But it desn't mean "Just keep wrking at it, and yu'll get there". Heartfelt desire and hard wrk alne will nt lead t imprved perfrmance. The right srt f practice carried ut ver a sufficient perid f time will. Nthing else. And this is true whether ur gal is t becme a cncert pianist r just play the pian well enugh t amuse urselves, t be the greatest three-pint shter r just build urselves up. Deliberate practice is the gld standard fr anyne in any field wh wishes t build new skills and abilities.

A.Affectin.B.Experience.C.Training D.Gifts.
14．What des the underlined wrd "testimnies" mean in paragraph 3?

I stared at myself in the mirrr: blue tights, yellw vest, an aquamarine fish tail trailing behind me, and large ggly eyes (金鱼眼) sitting atp my head.

That day I fllwed Mm t the backstage f the theater, wearing the questinable cstume. I shrank inside myself, but Mm pulled me tward the makeup table.
