To in troduce the Troubadour Theater Company・BIf Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) is today one of the best-known and most popular figures of 20th-century Mexican art, it is undoubtedly because of her persormlity and the originality of a body of works・ Her work is, above all, the expression of a life 一a tragic and stormy life, one that chailenged al 1 traditions.The mere mention o 『her name excites cnthusiasm and admiration, but her work is rarely exhibited, and has not been shown in France for fifteen years. The selection to go on show at the Mus^e de 1，Ora ngerie in eludes major works by the artist, with masterpieces from the Museo Dolores 01 modo. The life and work of Frida Kahlo cannot be separated from those of her companion Diego Rivera （1886-1957）. Together they became figures of legend （传奇），and both have a place in the pantheon of 20th-contury Mexican artists ・ Famous for his largo wal1 paintings, Rivera" s easel paintings, drawings and prints, which form a large part of his artistic production, are less we11-known to the public in Europe ・ The exhibition aims to trace his artistic career from the early Cubist images, revealing his links with the Paris artists whose works are a key element in the Orangerie collections, to the paintings that established him as the founder of the 20th-century school of Mexican art. His travels throughout Europe influcnced his vision and his skills without ever distancing him from his roots, thus confirming his place in history as the founder of the nationalist school ・The exhibition devoted to the legendary couple Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo presents their works together, as if to conf inn the impossibi 1 i ty of their divorce that was in fact fin al ised but reco nsidered after just one year apart ・ It also gives us a better view of their respective artistic worlds, so di f fere nt and yet so compleme ntary （互补的），through the deep-rooted attachment they shared to their country.24.

Why does the author write the passage?A ・ To praise the celebrities ・artists ・ art.CThe world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine ・ I was amazed. The sad truth is that great talent is not eno ugh.I am constantly shocked at how little taiented people earn. I hoard the other day that less tha n 5 perce nt of America ns ear n more than $100,000 a year. A busi ness consultant who specializes in theD. Society.B. Rivera , s works are D. Rivera had his worksB ・ To introduce two famousC ・ To make an announcoment.D. To encourage people to learnmedical trade was telling me how many doctors and donlists struggle financial1y. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, "They are one ski 11 away from great wealth.n There is an old saying that goes, "Job means ' just over broke（破产），〃• And unfortunatcly, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because schools do not think financial intel 1igenee is intel 1igenee, most workers "live within their means". They work and they pay the bills- In stead I recomme nd to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.When I ask the classes I teach, "How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McD on aid's?” , almost al 1 the stude nts raise thei r hands. I the n ask, "So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McD on aid1s makes more money tha n you?” The an swer is obvious: McD on ald，s is excel le nt at bus in ess systems ・ The world is filled with talented poor people.

They have no specialized skills.31.The main purpose of the author is to tell us ________________ •A. how young people can find a satisfactory jobB. What schools should teach about financeC. why so many talented people are poorD. how McDonald^ s makesmuchmoneyDHere is an astonishing and significant fact： Mentai work alone can" t make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human bra in could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue （疲劳）.To the amazemc nt of these scie nt i sts, they discovered that blood passi ng through the bra in, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins（毒素）and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the bra in oF an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the bra in is concer ned, it can work as wel 1 and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning・ The brain is totally tireless・ So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mentai and emoti on al （情感白勺）attitudes ・ One of En gla nd， s most outsta nding scie ntists， J. A. Hadfield, says, "The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare•” Dr. Bri 11, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, "One hundred pcrcent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems・”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated — those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue・ Wc get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.32.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A.
