10 . Banksy is a world-famous artist, but no one knows exactly who Banksy is—or even if Banksy is male or female. That’s because Banksy is a “street artist.” Most of the art Banksy creates is painted on the sides of buildings, public walls and other places that are out in the open. And the art is created without anyone seeing them being created. So Banksy has remained anonymous.

Banksy’s art is “political.” That means it’s not just interesting to look at, but it makes a point about something. One of Banksy’s most famous paintings is called Girl with Balloon, which shows a young girl painted in black and white reaching out towards a bright red, heart-shaped balloon dangling from a string. It was painted in 2002 on a wall in the UK. Recently, a framed copy of Girl with Balloon was auctioned off (拍卖) for nearly two million dollars.

The painting was on the wall at the auction house, known as Sotheby’s, and suddenly something very surprising happened. The painting started to drop down in its frame and was shredded (切碎) by some blades hidden in the bottom of the frame. The painting started getting cut into pieces. And what is even more astonishing was that it was Banksy who destroyed the painting.

Shortly after the auction, Banksy posted a video on Instagram showing how the shredder was put into the frame-on purpose- “in case it was ever put up for auction,” according to the video.

No one knows exactly why Banksy did it, but on Instagram Banksy put a quote from another famous painter, Picasso, that said, “The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.” Some people from Sotheby’s grabbed the painting when they saw what was happening, and stopped the shredding about half-way through.

The new owner of the painting was at first shocked but them realized the painting is now even more interesting. The painting has now been renamed “Love Is in the Bin,” and it may even be more valuable than ever.

1. Which of the following best explains “anonymous” in Paragraph 1?

A．Unknown.	B．Unreliable.
C．Unacceptable.	D．Disrespectful.

2. What happened to the painting during the auction?

A．It was completely destroyed by Banksy.

B．It dropped from the wall and broke into pieces.

C．Some people from Sotheby’s put it into a shredder.

D．Some blades in the frame was cutting the painting into pieces.

3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.

A．The painting was repaired and given a new name.

B．The painting is worth even more than two million dollars now.

C．The new owner of the painting was upset about what happened.

D．The new owner of the painting thought what Banksy did was interesting.

4. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A Mysterious Painter.

B．The Urge To Destroy is Also A Creative Urge.

C．Girl With Balloon, An Amazing Work of Art.

D．Million-Dollar Banksy Painting Shreds Itself.
