Bradley had always wanted to be an artist.
It was something he'd fantasised 32 _ , but had never really explored.
He decided, though, that he could still try.
He wanted to enrol in a painting class at a local college, but he ran into a problem.
£You have to take our design and drawing courses first, ’ the administrator told him.
Luckily it wasn’t too late to take those courses, but it meant that Bradley would have to 33 _ aside twice as much time per week as he’d intended.
Nevertheless, he was excited to learn the skills.
His design course proved to be challenging, but manageable.
The drawing course, however, 34 _ off easily but soon became frustrating.
In the fourth week, the participants had to draw one another.
Bradley drew a portrait of his classmate, Nicole.
He 35 _ intensely at her face, trying to draw the nose, eyes and cheeks correctly but the portrait ended up looking more like that of an orang - utan.
I'm sorry you look much nicer than that!
’ he said.
'It’s OK, ’ Nicole replied, showing Bradley her drawing.
He was relieved to see that her portrait of him looked like the orang - utan’s brother.
‘Looks as if getting facial 36 _ correct is trickier than we thought, ’ she joked.
While frustrated at times, Bradley persisted 37 _ his artwork.
By the end of the courses, he had some accomplishments proudly 38 _ in his home, and others that were tossed into the recycling bin.

LEONARDO DA VINCI
Everything you should know about Leonardo da Vinci and the Mona Lisa
It’s the most famous work of art on the planet.
The Mona Lisa is also known
as La Gioconda.
Leonardo da Vinci painted it between 1503 and 1506.
We know that the
painting was special to Leonardo because he spent so long working on it.
In one of
his notebooks he wrote, “Tell me, tell me, has one ever finished anything?
”
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (his full name) was born in 1452, the son of a
lawyer in the Tuscan town of Vinci.
He didn’t have a classical education but became
an apprentice in the studio of painter and sculptor Andrea Verrocchio.
He spent 13
years there, learning and working with other important painters such as Sandro
Botticelli.
He was a vegetarian.
Apart from being an artist, Leonardo was an engineer, inventor and
philosopher.
He also loved geology, anatomy and astronomy.
As a scientist, he was
ahead of his time.
He died in France in 1519, aged 67.
We don’t have any final proof of the identity of the woman in the painting.
Most people agree that it is a portrait of Mona Lisa, who married Francesco di
Bartolomeo di Zanoli del Giocondo in 1495.
The title La Gioconda comes from his
last name.
There have been theories that the portrait is of Leonardo’s vision of an ideal
woman or of an adolescent boy dressed as a woman or even a self - portrait.
It was painted on a thin backing of wood, which is now extremely fragile.
This
is why it is preserved behind a glass case.
The painting was acquired by François I of France.
He knew Leonardo when
the painter lived in France.
The painting remained in French royal collections from the beginning of the
16th century to the creation of the Central Arts Museum at the Louvre in 1793.
63
The Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre on 21 August, 1911.
An Italian
painter, Vincenzo Peruggia, stole it to return it to its country of origin.
It was found
almost two years later.
Since then, the painting has left France on two occasions : in 1963 to the United
States and in 1974 to Japan.
The painting was welcomed in both countries like a
visiting film star.
President John F Kennedy opened the Mona Lisa exhibition at the National
Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, saying, “This painting is the second lady that the
people of France have sent to the United States and, though she will not stay with us
as long as the Statue of Liberty, our appreciation is equally great.
”
The Mona Lisa is housed at the Louvre in Paris.

31. Read the text about the Monsters of the Sea.
People have always been afraid of sharks.
Films like “Jaws” have shown them as monsters.
But now these animals are in danger, like many others.
In recent years, shark meat has become a popular food in America.
Too much fishing has begun to reduce the numbers of some kinds of shark.
Some people say this is a good thing.
Sharks kill about twenty - five people a year near the world’s beaches.
Are we going to help sharks, or are they going to become extinct?
It’s hard to solve the sharks’ “image” problem and change people’s minds about them.
Sharks are hunters and so they naturally kill.
But actually elephants kill more people than sharks every year – and every–one likes elephants.
Sharks are very important for the world’s oceans.
They eat unhealthy fish and keep the numbers of different kinds of sea animals in balance.
Now scientists are trying to find way to protect these animals.
They have been in the oceans for 350 million years.
Perhaps they can survive a little longer.

A) Films have shown sharks as monsters.

The sailor and the monkeys
A ship stopped at the coast of South Africa.
One of the sailors left the ship and went to a town near the coast.
He had some blue caps made of wool in a bag and wanted to sell them in the town.
The sun was hot and the sailor decided to have a rest in the forest.
He sat down under a big tree, took one of the caps out of his bag and put it on his head.
He slept for some time.
When the man woke up, he took his cap off and wanted to put it into his bag with the other caps.
But he saw that there were no caps in it now.
Where were they?
"Where are my caps?
" he cried.
Then the sailor heard a great noise in the trees above his head.
He looked up and saw monkeys, and each monkey had a blue cap on its head!
"Give me back my caps, you monkeys!
" he cried.
But the monkeys didn't listen to him.
They only jumped from tree to tree and made a great noise.
"Give me back my caps!
" he cried again and again.
But nothing helped.
The monkeys only looked at him.
Then the sailor was very angry.
He took off the blue cap, threw it on the ground and cried, "You have taken all my caps!

" The monkeys saw him do that.

The sailor picked up his caps, put them into his bag and went to town.
