make him important,but the father loved him especially,because he knewhis son was going to be an artist.Pablo knew the word for pencil even before he could see Mamma andPapa.When he was small,he spent hours by himself making delightful little drawings of animals and people.If his mother sent him out to play in the square,he went on drawing in the dust under the trees.Don Jose Ruiz,Pablos father,was director of the museum in southern Spain.He earned only a smallsalary,but there was not much work to do and he was able to practice his hobby,which was painting pigeons.Don loved pigeons very much.He painted them dead or alive in ones and twos and in dozens.Sometimeshe painted them on paper,cut them out and stuck them onto canvas(画布);sometimes he stuck real feathersonto his pictures.He knew a great deal about the technique of painting and he taught it all to Pablo.Life in Malaga was very pleasant.In the hot sunshine father and son would walk down to the beach tolook at the boats on the shore or wander around the open markets.They made a strange pair.Don was talland thin,with red hair and beard,sad gray eyes and a fine set of whiskers(腮须).He was so shy andcorrect that he was nicknamed“the Englishman”.Pablo was quite the opposite.He had his motherssmall,strong build(体格);he had straight black hair,and bright black eyes that noticed everything4that was going on around him.36.Picassos father loved him especially,because.A.he was the only boy in the familyB.he was going to be an important person to his familyC.he showed the gift of an artist in his early

strongD.they looked so different from each other39.The best title of the passage might be.A.Pablo Picasso:the great artistB.The Boyhood of Pablo PicassoC.Father of A Great ArtistD.Fathers Influence(影响)on His SonBBenjamin Franklin was truly what we call a“jack of all trades”.Although best known for his experimentswith electricity,Franklin was a scientist,a politician,and almost everything in between.Franklin was born in Boston in 1706,the tenth and youngest of his fathers sons.When he was 12,Franklinworked as an apprentice.He worked in his older brother James printing shop.He secretly startedpublishing his writing under the false name of Silence Dogood.James wasnt pleased when he found outthe writer was Ben.Ben stopped his job and set out for Philadelphia.In 1732,Franklin began publishing Poor Richards Almanack,where most of his sayings can be found.Many of these,such as“A penny saved is a penny earned”,remain popular today.Franklin is known as a Founding Father.This means that he was part of the group of men who founded theirnation.He was a member of the Continental Congress and also the oldest person to sign both the Declarationof Independence and the Constitution.Electricity and weather were especially interesting to Franklin.He proved that lightning is electricityby catching sparks from a cloud while flying a kite in a storm.5As Ben says,“If you would not be forgotten when you are dead and rotten,either write things worthreading or do things worth writing about.”His theory seems to work,because Ben followed both pieces of his own advice,and we still remember himcenturies later!40.Though Franklin did many kinds of work,he.A.is mostly remembered for his experiments with electricityB.is better known as a Founding FatherC.is best
