George Nakashima always insisted that he was a simple woodworker,not an artist.Even though major museums exhibited his works and the director of the American Craft Museum called him a national treasure,Mr Nakashima rejected the label of artist.For almost fifty years he simply went on shaping wood into beautiful chairs,tables,and cabinets.
Nakashima had a clear goal.He intended each piece of furniture he made to be as perfect as possible.Even making a box was an act of creation,because it produced an object that had never existed before.Initially Nakashima used local wood,sometimes from his own property.Later,he traveled to seek out English oak,Persian walnut,African zebrawood and Indian teak.He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was taken down.Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again.
Most furniture makers prefer perfect boards,but Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots (节疤) and cracks.These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a happy life.
He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful.One early piece Nakashima designed was a three-legged chair for his small daughter Mira to use when she sat at the table for meals.The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions.Another famous piece,the Conoid chair,has two legs supported by blade-like (刀片似的) feet.Always,Nakashima’s designs were precise and graceful,marked by a simplicity that revealed his love for the wood.
As the years passed,Nakashima’s reputation grew and his works received many awards.His children Mira and Kevin,now adults,joined the team of craftspeople in their father’s studio.Nakashima’s dream of integrating (整合) work and family had come true.
4.Which of the following best describes Nakashima
A.Generous and outgoing.
B.Creative and modest.

5.What can we learn about Nakashima from paragraph 4

Many people prefer eating out instead of cooking at home.A change appears to be taking place,though,and millennials (千禧一代) are leading the way.According to one survey,more young people are starting to cook at home for three basic reasons:They can save money,eat healthy and waste less food.
Popular TV chefs are also getting millennials excited about learning some basic cooking skills.Many millennials view cooking as a form of entertainment and self-expression.They proudly post pictures of their cooking creations on the Internet,and invite friends over to share the cooking experience.
Many millennials have also found ways to avoid wasting food.After roasting a chicken,they put the leftover bones in their freezer instead of the garbage can.Later,they use the bones to make chicken soup which is an important ingredient in many dishes.
They also hate throwing out fruit that’s too old.To avoid that situation,they bake ripe fruit like berries and bananas for 15 minutes at 175 degrees.Then they freeze it overnight.After that,they place the fruit in plastic bags and store it in their freezer for later use.
Many millennials only eat at restaurants that have excellent food-waste policies.These servants use every part of the vegetables they buy,including their stems and roots,in dishes.They also use beef,chicken and pork bones to make their own stock.

Have you ever noticed that some difficult situations tend to repeat themselves Does it seem as if you married or dated the same kind of person several times in different bodies with different names Have you run into the same type of boss over and over again If you don’t deal well with authority figures at home,then you will have an opportunity to deal with them out in the world.
You may try desperately to avoid these repeated difficult situations,which seem to have become your set patterns,but they will eventually catch up with you.The only way you can free yourself of them is to shift your perspective on them seriously and persistently.To face the challenge means you need to bravely accept the fact that something within you keeps drawing you to the same kind of person or issue repeatedly in your life.This is no easy task,since it means you have to change,and to change is not always easy.Staying just as you are certainly is comfortable in its familiarity,but does not help you advance spiritually.
Rising to the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns forces you to admit that the way you have been doing things isn’t working.However,the good news is that by identifying and releasing your patterns,you actually learn how to change.In order to facilitate your process of change,you will need willingness and patience.
When struggling to make a change,ask yourself,“How willing am I,really,to make this change ” If you truly want to change,you will make a commitment to the process of it.If you absolutely hate getting stuck in traffic,chances are that you need a little work in the area of patience.And,chances are,you will probably get stuck in more traffic jams than someone who has patience.It is not because the universe has a sense of humour.You just notice and care about the traffic more than someone who has patience.Remember,you just need willingness and a little patience.Once you master these,you will most likely find the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns far less frightening.
12.How can you get rid of repeated difficult situations in your life

B.By taking a different attitude towards previous life.
C.By gathering up the courage to change your identity.

C.Influence. D.Overlook.
15.What is the effect of mastering willingness and patience according to the passage
A.Guiding you to identify your old patterns.
B.Making your changes become easier.
C.Challenging you with difficult patterns.
D.Arousing your inner desire to challenge yourself.
