Passage A
(A)
When Sam was a boy at school, his favourite lesson was art. As soon as he left school, he worked as a bookseller in a bookshop, but three times a week he went to evening classes in art, and when he had time, he liked to paint (v. 绘画; n. 油画颜料).
He painted in a very modern way. His pictures were hard to understand, such as (例如) women with three red eyes, large blank areas (空白的地区), and something like that.
After a few months he thought, Perhaps I can sell some of my pictures and get enough money and become a real artist (画家). Then I can travel around as much as I like, and go to foreign museums, and see other artists' paintings, and study in other countries when I feel like it. I don't like life in a bookshop. I only enjoy painting.
One day in the bookshop, Sam met a man who owned a picture shop, and after talking with him, Sam asked him to his home to see some of his work. Then perhaps you could tell me whether I can really be a good artist and get some money from my painting, Sam said hopefully.
The man said he would love to come and see what he thought of Sam' s work, so he arrived one evening at Sam's home. Sam started to show him some of his pictures.
The man looked at them one after the other while Sam watched his face, but it seemed that the man was not interested in them.
Then, when he had finished, he looked around, and his glance (眼光) fell on something else. A happy look came over his face for the first time, and he said, Now I like this one very much! It's so full of deep feeling! I'm sure I could sell this one for you!
