Perhaps 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. Last year marked the 125th anniversary of his death. An art exhibition was in Beijing till Dec. 6, in which more than 3,000 photos of the artist’s masterpieces we
re shown. However, the paintings that made him famous after his death did little for him when he was alive.
Van Gogh was born into a rich family in the Netherlands. He started his career working for an art dealer. But then he tried other things like teaching in England. He also tried to become a priest, but failed the exams.
Finally, he found something else to believe in while he was living in a small mining town in Belgium—art. He returned to his childhood love of painting and drawing.
He was an important and great artist in a generation that challenged the Impressionist 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. Corn is yellow, g
rass is green, and crows 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 him to cut off his ear and eventually die by shooting himself. Arguably, it wasn’t the art that gave him mental problems. What made him so sad may have been the difficulty of working as an artist in a practical world.
1.What can we know about Van Gogh from the passage?
A. He was born into a rich family in the Netherlands 125 years ago.
B. He was a teacher, a priest and a miner before he became an artist.
C. He did not get much wealth or fame from his works before he died.
D. He decided to be an artist when he worked as an art dealer.
2.According to the passage, Van Gogh impressed people deeply by ________.
A. how he used colors in his paintings
B. how he became famous for his paintings
C. how he showed the world exactly as it looked
D. how he began to love art while living in Belgium
3.What might have caused Van Gogh’s mental problems?
A. The art of painting. B. The loss of one of his ears.
C. Pressure from his family. D. Not being accepted or recognized.
4.What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Wheatfield with Crows B. An Artist’s Sad Story
C. Childhood of Van Gogh D. An Art Exhibition of Van Gogh

Money is stressful. For the seventh year in a row, the APA’s annual Stress in America survey found that money is the top source of stress for American adults. More than a quarter of Americans say they feel stressed about money most or all of the time. Only 30 percent rate their financial security as high, and more than two-thirds believe that more money would make them happier.People commonly deal with anxiety by avoiding whatever it is that makes them anxious. Unfortunately, if you avoid dealing with your finances, you’ll likely create more financial problems, and more anxiety, in the long term.
Money matters are too important to ignore. Financial inability is linked to money mismanagement and to debt. Debt, in turn, is associated with lower self-confidence, lower productivity and greater stress. Unsurprisingly, research has also linked financial pressure to desperation (绝望).
We develop our beliefs and attitudes about money early in life. Often, we aren’t even consciously aware of what our beliefs are, let alone where we learned them. If you’re dealing with financial avoidance or financial rejection, it can help to think critically about the money beliefs you learned in childhood. Think about what your parents taught you about money. Talk to family members about their money beliefs. Then try to challenge your existing beliefs about money.
Many people feel embarrassed about their debt, ashamed that they let bank statements pile up unread. But that shame keeps you stuck. Try to move past the self-blame so you can take some concrete steps toward financial health.
1.What do we learn about American adults from the text?
A. Money causes them the main stress.
B. They care about money most.
C. They need money very much.
D. Their financial security is high.
2.What does the author think of avoiding financial stress?
A. It’s understandable. B. It’s harmful.
C. It’s helpful. D. It’s useless.
3.According to the text, our money beliefs are developed from .
A. examples of family members B. attitudes of neighborhood
C. experiences of childhood D. influences of parents
4.What can people do to get financial health according to the author?
A. Repay their debt. B. Read their bank statements.
C. Overcome their self-blame. D. Challenge existing money beliefs.
