Mandela was born in a village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life. adopt=raise; bring up chief酋长
But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination. He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law, colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board. Racial discrimination种族歧视 on board

Mandela Born-again as An Artist at 84
VAN Gogh. Picasso. Matisse. Mandela?
He may not quite fit with those legendary(well-known)artists, but at age 84, revolutionary-turned-peacemaker Nelson Mandela has taken charcoal to canvas and transformed (changed completely) himself into a top-selling artist.
In just five months, the former South African president and Nobel Peace winner has sold more than 1, 000 lithographs (prints made using a stone or metal surface) of five charcoal and pastel drawings of his time as a prisoner at the brutal (cruel; savage), apartheid-era (南非种族隔离时代) Robben Island prison.
His pictures cut across cultures, people’s ethnic (national) backgrounds and economic backgrounds, said Ross Calder, an art publisher.
Mandela’s new career in art began when Calder saw how John Lennon’s wife Yoko One was using his sketches草图 to raise money for charity and decided Mandela could do the same thing to raise funds for his children’s charity慈善. “I may be artistic, but it’s in the back, far recesses (remote or secret place) of my mind. It will take a lot to get that out,” Mandela said.
Mandela learned from Cape Town artist Varenke Paschke in the mysteries of composition (arrangement) and color. He decided to recreate his time on Robben Island, but not in a dark and gloomy (dark) way.
His simple charcoal碳笔and pastel粉蜡笔 pictures of the island are surprisingly cheery and bright. Even a view of Cape Town’s Table Mountain through the bars铁窗 of his cell囚室 appears optimistic(happy).
The bars are a cheery orange, and the vast distance between Mandela and the freedom of the mountain is a green field.
“I have attempted(tried) to color the island sketches in ways that reflect(tell) the positive(active) light in which I view(see) it,” Mandela said. “This is what I would like to share with people and, hopefully, project the idea that even the most fantastic(wonderful) of dreams can be achieved, if we are prepared to endure(accept) life’s challenges(difficulty).”
51. Nelson Mandela is ________ now.
A. a top-selling B. a prisoner C. an artist D. a president
52. Mandela’s picture are ________.
A. simple charcoal and pastel pictures B. about the view of the Robben Island
C. the mysteries of composition D. the real reflection of his life and dreams

A. Mandela successfully changed himself into an artist after retiring.
B. It took a lot for Mandela to show his artistic talent(gift天赋) far recesses of his mind.
C. Mandela convinced(persuaded) people that any dreams could be realized only if they were ready to suffer difficulties.
D. Mandela got a great deal of money as well as fame by selling his pictures.
54. What can we infer推论 from the passage?

Winston Churchill was born into a famous family. His father was a successful politician. However, as a boy, Churchill was considered a slow learner in school.
Later he entered the Army and saw action in various countries.
In October 1900, Churchill began his political career. For the next sixty years Churchill’s work as a great politician was both brighter and more difficult than his father had been.
In 1939, Germany attacked Poland. Churchill prepared to fight. In 1940 he became the Prime Minster of England.
France fell. The Germans fought their way through Western Europe. It looked as if Britain was about to lose the war. Was it not possible to ask for peace, and listen to Hitler?

I will tell you, it is to fight, by sea, by land and air, with all our force and with all the strength that God can give us. You ask what is our aim? I can answer in one word: victory.”
The Germans began moving their armies to the French coast and prepared to go tot war with the British. The British had not enough guns to go round. Churchill gave the answer: “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the coasts, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the field and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never give up.”
By his courage and hard work Churchill heartened his people and other nations fighting together against Hitler. Victory finally came when the Germans lost World War II.
Churchill died in 1965 and was given a State Funeral(国葬). This was a fitting payment to one of all the greatest men the world had ever seen.

[阅读材料]
My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and he had opened a black law firm to advise poor black people on their problem.
I began school at six. The school where I studied only two years was three kilometers away. I had to leave, because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. This was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have this passbook because I was not born there and I was worried about whether I would be out of work.
The day when Nelson Mandela told me what to do and helped me was one of the happiest days of my life. He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I never forgot how kind he was and when he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could.
