[A]

Scholastic Art: What is your job?

Jayson Fann: I build human-sized nests all over the world. SA: Can people sit in your nests?

JF: Yes! People have dinner parties in my nests. They read and relax in them. Some of my

nests even have several rooms. My nests are even used as hotel rooms. SA: How do you make a nest?

JF: First, I make a design for the nest. Then I review the design with my client（客户）.

After the design is final, I collect wood and work with a team to build it. SA: What do you use to make your nests?

JF：I use eucalyptus（按树）wood， which is soft and easy to bend when it is young and freshly

cut. But when it dries, it becomes extremely hard. So it holds its shape and can support weight. But the structure’s strength also comes from the engineering -- how I weave the wood, and how I join major sections by bolting（用螺栓固定）them together. SA: What makes a great nest design?

JF: Placement is important. The lines of the branches（树枝） create movement and energy, resulting

in a cleaner, simpler background -- such as smooth stone or the sky -- which really fits the nest. For me, it’s all about balance. SA: What skills do you need for your job?

JF: You have to be able to draw and use different artistic tools. But you also have to know how

to speak to people -- your clients and the people who work for you. SA: What inspires you?

IF: I love to see how other artists, like Andy Goldsworthy, take common and natural materials

and make something special with them. SA: What is the best part of your job?

JF: I get to be creative in a way that doesn’t harm the environment! 21. Jayson Fann’s nests are .

A. used for different purposes B completely made of wood C. usually built at his home D. just used for exhibition 22. When Jayson Fann makes a nest, he usually .

A. builds it on his own B. places it on a eucalyptus tree

C. asks his client to design it first D. takes its surroundings into consideration 23. Jayson Fann is actually .

A. an animal lover B a fashion designer C. a famous engineer D. an environmental artist

[B]

My first impression of Miss Vicki was a highly authoritative(权威的) person towering over me. She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school. She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first year in school, she struck terror into my heart(使我胆战心惊). And everyone else’s of course. Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent.

Nevertheless, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon, I went to senior high class. I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination that I wished for. Together with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably.

To everyone’s surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 365 days. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots, I tried my best to my natural self in front of her.

Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. True, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them. My lovely class, however, was already ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not want to run the risk of provoking(激怒) her.

Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know what to say actually. All of us cried at the airport. 24. During the first year in school, the author thought Miss Vicki was .

A. proud but patient B. beautiful but strict C. scholarly but serious D. humorous but single-minded
