Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Caprese,Italy on March 6,1475.He was still young when his family moved to Florence where Michelangelo grew up.His mother died when he was only six years old.Growing up in Florence during the Italian Renaissance was the perfect stage of young Michelangelo’s life.Even as a child all he wanted to do was painting and to be an artist.
At the age of thirteen,he went to learn from Domenico Ghirlandaio,who was not only a painter but also an artist.Michelangelo’s talents became apparent as he worked for Domenico.Within a year or so Domenico sent him to the powerful Medici family to continue his training under the sculptor(雕刻家) Bertoldo di Giovanni. Michelangelo was able to work with some of the finest artists and philosophers of the time.During the next few years,Michelangelo produced many famous sculptures including Madonna of the Steps,Battle of the Centaurs and Bacchus.
In 1496 Michelangelo moved to Rome.A year later he was asked to make a sculpture called The Pity/La Pieta.It would become one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art.Today this sculpture sits in St.Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.It is the only piece of art that Michelangelo signed.
Michelangelo’s fame(名声) as a great artist began to grow.He returned to Florence and was asked to create a large statue of David.It took him a couple of years to finish the giant statue.The piece of marble(大理石) he began with was very tall and thin.Many people didn’t think he could do much with it.He worked without letting anyone see it until it was finished.David became Michelangelo’s most famous work of art.It is thirteen feet tall and is the largest statue made since Ancient Rome.It is considered by many experts in art to be a nearly perfect sculpture.Today the statue sits at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence,Italy.

What Is Emotional Eating?
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger.1. Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot—especially without realizing it—emotional eating can affect weight,health and overall well-being.
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.2. One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings. Yes,people often turn to food when they’re stressed out,lonely,sad,anxious or bored.But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too,like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.Sometimes
emotional eating is tied to major life events,like a death or a divorce.3.
Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done.4. It’s not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating.But it is possible.And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on.
We’re all emotional eaters to a degree.But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem,causing serious weight gain or other problems.One trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone,the feelings that cause it remain.5. That’s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.Next time you reach for a snack,wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it. A.Believe it or not,we’ve all been there.
B.If a crying boy gets some cookies,he may link cookies with comfort.
C.One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards. D.And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.
E.But understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it. F.Boys seem to prefer hot homemade comfort meals,while girls go for chocolate and ice cream. G.More often,though,it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food. 答案:1-5 AEGBD Ⅲ.完形填空
