    17．Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America．His workmates gave a nickname（绰号）"Four dollars a bucket （桶）"to him，for he was always used to leaving an advertisement of his company"Four dollars a bucket of oil"below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name．
    As time went by，people forgot his real name．Later，when Rockefeller，the board chairman of the oil company，heard of it，he was very surprised，so he invited Albert to come to his office．
    "Some people give you a nickname for‘Four dollars a bucket'．Why aren't you angry？"asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes．
    "Oh!Mr．Rockefeller!I like this nickname very much，because‘Four dollars a bucket'is our company's advertisement．As long as someone calls me‘Four dollars a bucket'once，I think it's a free advertisement for our company．I have no reason to get angry．Don't you think so，Mr．Rockefeller？"
    "Oh!What a fantastic man!"Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert's words．"Young man，work harder!You must succeed in the future!I believe in you!"
    Five years later，Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller．
    Later Albert said in one of his reports，"I don't think we should feel frustrated when we have no way to do the world-shaking things．We should treat every thing actively because maybe our future success will begin from a small thing!"

    I had a lot of rooms to choose from，but I chose to work in the room that was for children with severe disabilities．They had no speech and most were in a wheelchair．The teacher of that room asked if I would work with a girl who had epilepsy （癫痫症） and other brain disabilities．She was 15years old．The teacher thought that it was an achievement for her to be able to put on her coat all by herself．I saw more in her．She always wanted to put string through the shaped blocks to make a necklace．For the 5years she was in the school the teachers always tried to help her but always ended up doing all the work．

    12．I was doing some Christmas shopping in a toy store and decided to look at Barbie dolls for my nieces．A nicely dressed little girl was excitedly looking through the Barbie dolls as well．As she was looking，a little boy came to the Pokemon toys．He was dressed neatly，but his clothes were obviously old．He was with his father as well，and kept picking up the Pokemon video toys．Each time he picked one up and looked at his father，his father shook his head and said，"No．"
    The little girl had chosen her Barbie．However，she stopped and was watching them．Rather dejectedly，the boy had to give up the Pokemon toys and choose something else．The little girl put her Barbie back on the shelf，and ran over to the Pokemon toys．She excitedly picked up one and raced towards the checkout．I picked up my purchases and got in line behind them．Then，much to the little girl's delight，the little boy and his father got in line behind me．After the toy was paid for and bagged，the little girl handed it back to the cashier （收银员） and whispered something in her ear．The casher smiled and put the package under the counter．
    I paid for my purchases and was rearranging things when the little boy came up to the cashier．The cashier checked his purchases and said，"Congratulations，you are my hundredth customer today，and you win a prize!"With that，she handed the little boy the Pokemon toys，and he could only stare in surprise．It was exactly what he had wanted!
    The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway during all of this．Then they walked out．As I walked back to my car，I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that．I'll never forget what she said to him．"Daddy，didn't Grandparents want me to buy something that would make me happy？"He said，"Of course they did，honey．"To which the little girl replied，"Well，I just did!"
    I feel very shocked to have witnessed the true spirit of Christmas in that toy store，in the form of a little girl who understands more about the meaning of this festival than most adults I know．

    9．When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London，a poet described her paintings as"a ribbon （丝带）around a bomb"．Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time．Sadly，she is actually a much bigger nametoday than she was during her time．
    Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City，Kahlo suffered from polio（小儿麻痹症）at the age of seven．Her spine （脊柱）became bent as she grew older．Then，in 1925，her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident．Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations，but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back．However，the accident had an unexpected side effect．While lying in her bed recovering，Kahlo taught herself to paint．
    In 1929，she got married to Diego Rivera，another famous Mexican artist．Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works，but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband．
    Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s，even in her home country．Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953．For more than a decade after her death in 1954，Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world，but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last．

    C．her bent spin                     D．the operations she had
    53．Kahlo's style had become increasingly independent since theA．
    A.1940s         B.1930s        C.1950s        D.1970s
    54．What is author's attitude toward Kahlo？C
