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.

Michelangelo

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

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.
