Today’s students have a problem, and it is not the one written on the board. They were born into a world where algorithms(算法)keep them clicking, scrolling(滚屏)and swiping(刷屏)at a rapid pace. Technology, smartphones, social media, and immediate access to the Internet are hurting their ability     1    (focus)and changing the way they think.

They are making an effort not only to ensure that students can take advantage of new technologies,     9     to teach students valuable skills that can help them succeed in a world constantly trying to distract them. Think of the Zuckerbergs, the Gates, the Jobs and all those pioneers in the tech world. They became successful not because they     10     code(编程); it was because they could think.

Michelangelo

Michelangelo was an Italian artist about 500 years ago. Today he is still remembered as a great sculptor, painter, and architect.

Michelangelo was born     1     a middle-class family. He was trained at an early age like any other craftsman in Italy. At thirteen, he started to work and learn in a workshop     2     belonged to one of the leading masters at that time. In the workshop Michelangelo was able to learn all the skills of sculpture. However, he wasn’t satisfied, and went on     3    (study)the work of the great masters of the past. Michelangelo worked hard and he mastered one problem after another. By the time he     4    (be)30, he had been generally regarded as one of the outstanding sculptors of the age.

In 1508,     5     Michelangelo was 33 years old, he was given a task-to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. At first, he tried to turn down this job,     6    (say)that he was not really a painter, but a sculptor. Finally, he agreed to do it. He then shut himself up in the chapel, let no one come near him, and got ready to work alone.

It took him four years to complete the paintings on the ceiling. Any ordinary person would find     7     hard to imagine what Michelangelo had gone through in those four years of hard and lonely work. Michelangelo, while working, had to lie on his back and paint,     8    , as a result, made him so accustomed to looking upward that when he received a letter during that period, he     9     hold it over his head to read it. Finally, the paintings were completed. The great and huge paintings on the ceiling and walls of the chapel have become     10     great fascination to people in Italy and all over the world ever since.

Michelangelo left us with a great number of sculptures and paintings. Today his works are still examples for art students to study and follow. Home and overseas visitors can’t help but admire these masterpieces.
