In February 2021， Dr Robert Lefkowitz， a physician and biochemist， published a memoir （回憶錄）， called A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Stockholm： The Adrenaline-Fueled Adventures of an Accidental Scientist. Lefkowitz said he wanted his memoir to be “funny， interesting， and easy to understand”. In the book， he humorously describes his journey from a cardiologist （心臟病學(xué)家） to a biochemist.

Lefkowitz is no stranger to conducting experiments， making discoveries and telling stories. He was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Brian Kobilka.

Before winning the Nobel Prize， he conducted countless experiments， and only 1 in 50 turned out OK. “With difficult decisions I’ve had to make， I tend to make them with my heart rather than my head，” Lefkowitz said.

The scientist has no plans for slowing down. “My body and mind are still working，” he said. “I want to continue running my lab at Duke University and writing and publishing research papers.” For more than 40 years， the Lefkowitz Lab has been a center for research on receptor biology， which is the study of how cells recognize and respond to hormones and drugs. “You could say I’m like the ‘grand old man’ of the field，” Lefkowitz said， smiling. “Everyone knows me.

For over 50 years， Zhao Yuming has been absorbed in his own world of clay figurines （泥塑）. At age 69， Zhao is the only remaining clay sculpture master craftsman in Laoting County， Hebei Province. He has been officially recognized as a master of intangible cultural heritage （非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)）. 1 This is more of a responsibility and a source of pressure.

2 In ancient times， Laoting clay figurineqvvwGZsyPOJ8YDGyGOgwnw==s were mainly children’s toys made by countryside artists. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949， there were several workshops in villages in Laoting County and the production reached a high level， but the prices were too low. 3 However， for a long period， many clay artists relied on making and selling clay figurines at those poor prices to make ends meet.

Nowadays， shopping malls are full of high-end toys， so the Laoting clay figurines have gradually fallen out of favor. 4 Zhao said that although his children have other jobs to feed their families， he still wants to pass on his skills to them and his grandchildren.

Facing a demand for sustained economic development， many regions are increasingly attaching importance to the protection of valuable traditional cultural skills. People come to realize that developing our cultural relics promotes the development of local economies. 5

A. But for him， this is not only an honor.

B. Later， it became known as “l(fā)iterary clay figurines”.

C. Clay figurines were sold for just a few pennies each.

D. Laoting clay sculpture has a nearly 500-year history.

E. Laoting clay sculpture is an important part of Zhao’s life.

F. However， some craftsmen have chosen to continue the tradition.

G. More importantly， it contributes to the goal of building “a beautiful China”.

A

Vincent van Gogh was born on March 30， 1853， in a small village in the Netherlands. As a child， he was serious and sensitive. He loved to draw， and his work showed talent， but no one encouraged him to become an artist. Instead， his father thought he should take a job—something like a carpenter. As a young adult， he wandered from job to job with little success and very little money， becoming more depressed with each failure. In March 1880， however， just before his 27th birthday， something changed inside van Gogh. He realized he was meant to be a painter， and he began to study art in Brussels， receiving money from his brother Theo， which helped him to live.

In 1886， van Gogh moved to Paris， hoping to learn more about color techniques being used by Impressionist artists there. Instead of grays and browns， his work began to use blue and red， and then yellow and orange. Soon he began to see life differently： Go slow. Stop thinking. Look around. You’ll see something beautiful if you open yourself. These were the principles （原則） that guided his art. With his innovative use of colors， van Gogh wanted to show his viewers how to better appreciate a flower， the night sky， or a person’s face.

Today， people around the world immediately recognize Starry Night and Sunflowers—both painted in bold， intense colors—as the work of Vincent van Gogh. Probably no other artist， at any time in any culture， has achieved such popularity. His Portrait of Dr Gachet sold in 1990 reached more than $80 million， breaking the world record for art pieces. Many of his other works have also sold for millions. Of course， people are buying great art when they purchase his paintings. But they are also buying a piece of his story， which， like his work， will live on forever.

1. What can we infer about van Gogh from Paragraph 1？

A. He got artistic talent from his father. B. He showed a strange character as a child.

C. He decided to be a painter in adulthood. D. He received art lessons by working part-time.

2. Why did van Gogh go to Paris in 1886？

A. To see life with a different view. B. To explore more color techniques.

C. To become an Impressionist artist. D. To show the way of art appreciation.

3. The author mentioned Portrait of Dr Gachet to show .

A. van Gogh’s use of colors B. the painting’s high value

C. the new record for art pieces D. van Gogh’s popularity

4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？

A. To introduce a great artist. B. To promote artistic principles.

C. To encourage studies on art. D. To emphasize the value of art.

For the past several years， Paula Smith， a historian of science， has devoted herself to recreating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book， she came across a 16th-century French manuscript consisting of nearly 1，000 sets of instructions， covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.

The author’s intention remains as mysterious as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn’t truly grasp any of the skills the author described.

Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand， doing things the old-fashioned way isn’t just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world， what objects filled their homes， and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems： In 2015， scientists discovered that a 10th-ce7ccce2381588e0dbddaefa302bfd47e93b77c6b76d94c467f3764ab2574a9667ntury English medicine for eye problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.

The work has also brought insights for museums， Smith says. One must know how an object was made in order to preserve it. What’s more， reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colors. We can’t appreciate these kinds of details wia5710329c3cff9cd6b5fbc0021eff0a6dcfc1ef9944a1632cf824298c4ec5ca8thout seeing works of art as they originally appeared.

Smith has put the manuscript’s ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together. She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation， teamwork， and problem solving.

If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork， Smith says， we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.

5. How did Smith feel after reading the French manuscript？

A. Confused. B. Frightened. C. Discouraged. D. Shocked.

6. Why is the reconstruction work done according to Smith？

A. To restore old workshops. B. To take a look into the craftsmen’s life.

C. To improve visual effects. D. To inspire the philosophers.

7. Why does the author mention museums？

A. To reveal the beauty of ancient objects. B. To present the findings of old science.

C. To highlight the importance of antiques. D. To emphasize the values of hand skills.

8. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists B. Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories

C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists D. Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science
