He is considered one of the greatest artists with great influence on the greatest artists with great influence on the 20th-century art.Van Gogh spent his early adult life working for a firm of art dealers. After a brief period as a teacher, he became a missionary (传教士) in a very poor mining region. He did not begin his career as an artist until 1880; however, during the last ten years of his life, he produced more than 2,000 pieces, including around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawing and sketches (素描). He worked only with somber colours until he met Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism in Paris. Van Gogh used their bright colours and style of painting in a uniquely recognizable style. Most of his best-known works were produced during his final two years, when he was suffering from serious mental illness.In 1890, at the age of 37, van Gogh shot himself in the chest. He died two days later, with Theo, his brother and his best friend, at his side, who reported his last words as “The sadness will last forever. It would not take long before his fame grew higher and higher.Van Goghs mother threw away quite a number of his paintings. The only painting he sold during his lifetime, The Red Vineyard, was created in 1888. It is now on display in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Russia. Several paintings by van Gogh rank among the most expensive paintings in the world. On March 30, 1987 van Goghs painting Irises was sold for a record of $53.9 million at Southbys, New York. On May 15, 1990 his Portrait of Doctor Gachet was sold for $83.5 million at Christies, thus setting a new price record.61. When did van Gogh begin his career as an artist?A. At the age of 17.B.

Now according to a new study, at three months, babies have already started acquiring a concept (概念) of “how much.Previous research had suggested that very young babies can tell when the number of objects (物体) in a group has changed. But the babies in these studies were simply reacting generally to the fact that something had changed, they suspected.Researchers of Harvard University studied 36 babies, all three months old. During the tests, each baby wore a hat with sensors (传感器). The babies watched a series of images on a computer screen. They showed the same object, such as a cartoon character. For a while, the number of the objects in the pictures didnt change. Then the images began to display a different object, or a different number of one of the objects the babies had previously looked at. As soon as something changed, the babies brains responded with a specific pattern of electrical signals, which would be recorded by sensors.By analyzing these signals, the researchers discovered that one part of the brain (near the top on the left side) responded when the object in the image changed. A different part of the brain (lower and on the right side) responded when the number of objects in the image changed. This was not the area of the brain that is involved in attention. That suggests that the babies brains are doing more than just reacting to a change in what theyre seeing they actually seem to be able to tell number changes from other types of changes.Numbers and amounts are important concepts in our lives. Even though babies are years away from adding, subtracting (减), multiplying, and dividing, their brains seem to be preparing for a time when they finally will.66. Why were h
