12、 to start a sculpture. Once its started, the piece itself tells me what to do next, like whether to add an earring or a hat.”Besides leather, Toone uses other materials to create his art.

18、iotto is the first painter to be considered a Renaissance artist. He was hired to paint a Fresco in a family chapel (教堂) in Padua, Italy, known as the Arena Chapel. Fresco is a painting made on a wall while the plaster (灰泥) is still wet. Many consider Giotto to be the father of the modern period of

19、art.Jan van Eyck (1390-1441)Jan van Eycks early influences more than likely came from his brother Hubert. In fact, Jan would sometimes finish his brothers works.

CFor quite some time, scientists have been finding ways to power cars and other machines with natural fuel made from cooking oil and even water.

26、reate fuel from another unlikely sourcecow burps(嗝) Cows have bacteria in their stomachs to help them digest their food. As they break down the food, those bacteria create methane, which the cows burp out when they belch (打嗝). Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. It traps heat in the atmosphere and

27、 in turn can cause Earths temperature to gradually increase. Methane is at least 20 times more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide, another gas released into the air as pollution.Researchers have tried to find ways to get cows to produce less of the gas. One method theyve come up with is

28、reducing the amount of corn and soy (大豆) in cows feed.But scientists from Argentinas National Institute for Agricultural Technology have taken a different approach. Instead of trying to reduce the amount of methane cows produce, they thought, why not turn it into fuel? After all, each cow releases 2

29、50 to 300 liters of pure methane a day. Thats enough to keep a refrigerator running for 24 hours.To collect a cows burps, the scientists fix a plastic tank onto the animals back and connect it through a tube to the cows stomach. They then put the burps through a process that separates the methane fr

30、om the other gases. “Its the same as having natural gas,” says Guillermo Berra, head of the institutes animal physiology group.“As an energy source, its not very practical at the moment, but if you look ahead to 2050, when fossil fuel reserves are going to be in trouble, it is an alternative,” says

31、Guillermo Berra.Turning the methane into fuel can also help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases produced in Argentina, which has around 51 million cows. In 2006, the United Nations called livestock(牲畜) one of the most serious near-term threats to the global climatemore dangerous to Earths atmosphe

32、re than all the worlds cars and trucks combined.28. According to the text, methane is produced_.

By reducing the amount of corn and soy in cows feed, researchers w

33、ant to _. A. turn methane into fuel B. get more methane from cows C. keep cows strong and healthy D. reduce the methane cows produce30. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. How to turn a cows burps into fuel. B. How to collect a cows burps. C. The major use of methane. D. The similarity between meth

34、ane and natural gas.31. The idea of scientists in Argentina _. A. can ease traffic chaos B. is good for the global climate C. can be beneficial for livestock D. is dangerous to Earths atmosphere D Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had be

35、en handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box?

36、 reflect about your personal qualities?Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathythe ability to put yourself into someone elses head and heart.
