• 1．Later this month，Tate Britain will host its first Van Gogh exhibition since 1947.Here we've collected 4 of his best paintings before the show.
     Potato Eaters
     Potato Eaters was Van Gogh's first major work and，despite a distinct lack of colour，it was one that he was most proud of.His aim was to represent the difficulties of country life，so the farmers are painted in earthy tones with rough faces and bony hands.He was more concerned with conveying his message than achieving technical perfection in this painting.
     Irises
     Van Gogh finished almost 142 pieces during his stay in the Saint Remy de Provence asylum （精神病院），where he was a voluntary patient from 1889 to 1890.This piece was started shortly after he arrived jye.aire.The hospital garden provided much inspiration for the artist during his stay there.Originally，the flowers in this work were painted purple but the red pigment （色素） faded over time and has now turned blue.
     Cafe Terrace at Night
     Despite being painted more than 130 years ago，this cafe still exists in France and has since been renamed the Cafe Van Gogh.This artwork marks the first time Van Gogh's famous post-impressionistic star-filled sky was seen in a piece，and it was painted on the ground，in person，rather than from memory.While the artwork doesn't bear his signature （簽名），it's widely known to be Van Gogh's，as he mentioned Cafe Terrace at Night in a number of his letters.
     Wheat Field With Cypresses
     This piece was inspired by the view from Van Gogh's asylum window and was finished on the spot.The work was the title of three paintings that offer an insight into his stay at the hospital.Van Gogh was so pleased with the summer landscape that he made three copies there，one of the same size — which hangs in the National Gallery and two smaller copies which he planned to gift to his mother and sister.

• 3．Located 150 miles south of mainland Australia，Tasmania is known for its wildlife and landscape，including unique plant and animal species.Perhaps its most famous native animal is the Tasmanian devil，a small but violent animal.The island was also home to a large wolf-like Tasmanian tiger.It lived among the island's famous giant tree ferns（樹蕨），but was hunted by people until the last known animal died in a zoo in 1936.
     A team of Australian scientists have discovered that Tasmania is now carbon negative，meaning it absorbs more carbon dioxide gas（CO₂）than it gives off.The team say their findings show the importance of forests in fighting climate change.
     Large quantities of CO₂ act as a greenhouse gas，trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere and causing climate change.Many countries have plans to become "carbon neutral"（碳中和），but Tasmania is one of the first places in the world to go carbon negative.
     The fact came to light when a team from Australian National University（ANU）looked into the CO2 emissions（排放）of each Australian state.CO₂ is produced by activities such as burning coal，oil and gas for power，but is also released when forests are cut down—especially if the wood is used to make paper and similar products.On the other hand，living forests absorb large amounts of CO₂.In 2011，campaigners blocked plans to build a large new paper factory in Tasmania，leading to a large decline in cutting down Tasmania's forests.Consequently，CO₂ emissions dropped sharply and allowed forests to continue growing instead.Much of Tasmania's power comes from hydroelectricity，which does not give off CO₂.
     Scientists say that Tasmania's achievement shows the important role of forests in managing CO₂.They say preserving forests around the world could help many countries to absorb more CO₂. "We need to store a lot more carbon in the environment，" explained Professor David Lindemayer of ANU，adding that "the most effective place to do that is in forests."
  
  （1）Which is TRUE about the Tasmanian tiger？

  
  A．It was a small but violent animal.
  B．It went extinct because of hunting.
  C．Too much CO₂ emission put it on the line.
  D．Large clearing of trees led to its dying out.
  （2）What can we learn about Tasmania？

  
  A．Zero CO₂ emissions help it go green.
  B．Masses of forests help it go carbon negative.
  C．It doesn't need to fight climate change any more.
  D．It covers the largest areas of forests in the world.
  （3）2 What does paragraph 4 convey？

  
  A．Many CO₂ emissions arise from human activities.
  B．Paper factories have a great prospect in Tasmania.
  C．People are not allowed to cut down trees in Tasmania.
  D．Hydroelectricity is the only energy source in Tasmania.
  （4）What does David Lindemayer probably express in the last paragraph？

  
  A．Carbon is posing the biggest threat to the earth.
  B．Forests are the most effective places to trap heat.
  C．He's proud of Tasmania's achievement in managing CO₂.
  D．Preserving forests could best help battle climate change.
