A

Married by arrangement at 13, Gandhi went to London to study law when he was 13. From 1893 to 1914 he worked for an Indian firm in South Africa.　 Gandhi was against the racial unfair treatment there. He accepted leadership of protest(抗议) campaigns and gradually developed his techniques　 of nonviolent resistance(反抗)known as Satyagraha .

Returning to India in January 1915, Gandhi soon became involved in labor organizing. The Jallianwala Bagh mass murder of Amritsar (1919), in which troops fired on and killed hundreds of nationalist demonstrators(示威者), turned him to direct political protest. Within a year he was the important figure in the Indian National Congress.　 He launched on a policy of noncooperation with the British in 1920-22. Although total noncooperation was given up, Gandhi continued civil disobedience, organizing protest marches against unpopular British measures, such as the salt tax (1930), and refusing British goods.

Gandhi was repeatedly sent to prison by the British and used hunger strikes as part of his civil disobedience. His final imprisonment came in 1942-44, after he had demanded total withdrawal of the British (the "Quit India" movement) during World War II.

Gandhi also fought to improve the life of the lowest classes of society, the ‘Untouchables’, whom he called harijans ("children of God"). He believed in manual labor and simple living; he spun thread and made cloth for his own clothes and insisted that his followers do so, too. He disagreed with those who wanted India to industrialize.

Gandhi was also tireless in trying to form closer ties between the Hindu majority and the numerous minorities of India, particularly the Muslims. He was killed in Delhi on January 30, 1948, by a Hindu murderer who mistakenly thought Gandhi's policy was evil .

　　 The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Wilson Peale is best remembered for his portraits(人物肖像) of leading figures(领袖) of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic(逼真) that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.

　　 Charles Wilson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays(展览) of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct(绝迹的) elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.

　　 Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Raphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes(山水，风景) and portraits.

　　 James Peale, the brother of Charles Wilson Peale, specialized(专修) in miniatures (小画像). His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.
