Born into a poor family,two of the Durers' children still had a dream for art,but they knew their father could not afford to send either of them to the academy(院校).
After discussions,the two boys finally agreed to toss a coin.The loser would go to the nearby mines and support his brother while he attended the academy.Then,when the winner completed his studies,he would support the other brother,either with sales of his art work or,if necessary,by working in the mines.So they tossed a coin.Albrecht Durer won the toss and went to Nuremberg.Albert went to the dangerous mines and financed his brother,whose work at the academy was almost an immediate success,and by graduation,he was beginning to earn considerable fees for his works.
When the Durer family held a dinner to celebrate Albrecht's homecoming, Albrecht drank a toast to his brother,“Now,Albert,it is your turn to go to Nuremberg and follow your dream,and I will take care of you.”
Albert wiped the tears from his cheeks,glanced at the faces he loved,and said softly,“No,brother.It is too late for me.Look….look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been broken at least once,and lately I have been suffering from arthritis(关节炎)so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast,much 1ess make lines on canvas(画布)with a pen or a brush.No,brother …for me it is too 1ate.”

Almost 55,000 people who have had a major impact on British society are profiled in a new 60-volume book that has taken 12 years to compile.
It has cost more than £25 million and taken 10,000 writers to update the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
Murder victims Stephen Lawrence and James Bulger are among those joining the likes of Queen Victoria and Gandhi.
The new version of the dictionary, which was founded in 1882, costs £7,500 and takes up 12 feet of shelf space.
Projects director Robert Faber said Stephen Lawrence was included because his death triggered "dramatic developments in British policing and social policy".
Women make up 10% of the entries - double the previous share - and include Queen Elizabeth I, Dusty Springfield, Linda McCartney and Virginia Woolf, whose father compiled the first edition.
Alongside the famous names are lesser known individuals such as the inventor of snooker, army reservist (预备役军人) Neville Chamberlain.
Stephen Lawrence and James Bulger were both included because of the "overwhelming soul-searching (真挚的自我反省、深思) and examination of education and social policy" which followed their deaths.
Mr Faber said: "These are not just people who were killed but people who had an impact. Jill Dando is there as much for her career but also because her death became a public event.
"So many of these people have seized the public imagination and have contributed to public debate."?



A.About 5. B.About 55. C.About 550. D. About 5500.

Before the early 1960’s people interested in the differing roles of the left and right hemispheres(半球) of the brain depended almost entirely on facts drawn from animal research, form studies of patients with one-sided brain damage. But it was possible to find out which brain hemisphere was most involved in speech and other functions in normal people by having them listen to two different words coming to the two ears at the same time. This became known as the “dichotic listening” procedure. When several word pairs are given in a row, people are unable to report them all, and most right-handers prefer to report, and report more correctly, words given to their right ears. This seems to be related to the fact that signals from the right ear, although sent to both hemispheres, are better sent to the left hemisphere which controls speech. People who have speech represented(回忆) in the right hemisphere, a very unusual occurrence even in left-handed people, more correctly report what their left ears hear.
In contrast to the right-ear advantage for speech, there is generally a left-ear advantage for another type of auditory(听觉的) signal: music. When right-handed people listen to melodic patterns they report them better from the left ear.
Which of the following would be the most proper title for the passage?

A.An Introduction to Speech Damage in Patients with Brain Damage.
B.An Investigation into the Role of the Brain’s Hemispheres.
C.An Analysis of Left and Right-handed People.
D.An Examination of “Dichotic Listening”.

The “dichotic listening” procedure could best be described as hearing _______.

A.two different words in the same ear twice
B.the same word twice in the same ear
C.two different words in different ears
D.two different words twice in two ears

according to the passage, right-handed people normally _______.

A.have better hearing in their both ears
B.have little difficulty in reporting words given to their right ears
C.are unable to report word pairs given to their left ears
D.correctly report word pairs given in a row

according to the passage, music is best appreciated when heard by _______.

A.the left ear of right-handers
B.people with a left-ear advantage
C.left-handers in their right ears
D.right-handed people who understand melodic patterns
