Kristina’s family was going to visit her grandparents. Kristina was so excited! It had been months since their last visit. They called a taxi to take them to the airport. “This will save us lots of time,” Dad said. “We won’t have to worry about parking.”
However, the streets were crowded with cars, and the taxi slowly made its way to the airport through the traffic. They arrived at the airport very late,

Mum and Dad were worried now because they were going to be late, and Grandma and Grandpa would have to wait too.
After two long hours, the family finally got on a plane. When they got off the plane after the quick flight, Grandma and Grandpa greeted them with huge smiles. Mum, Dad and Kristina were very glad to see them at last, and they couldn’t wait to get to their house.

In the middle of the 1800s, France was considered the most important place in the world for art. One reason for that was the Academy, a government organization with some strict r 86 about art. It decided what could and could not be art. In order to be accepted by the Academy, an artist had to be very talented. Artists also had to paint exactly the way the Academy wanted them to. A brave group of painters challenged(挑战) these ideas and changed art f 87 .
Each year, the Academy had an exhibition of the art they had decided was the best. In 1864, a
group of artists became a 88 because they didn’t get into the show. They felt that their paintings were not bad; the paintings were just different. After complaining to the government, these artists were given their own show.
The Academy thought all art should look realistic(逼真). But these artists were more interested in trying to show movement and the bright colors of daylight. In their opinion, it was more real to show these than it
was to paint a scene(场景) which was as s 89 as a photo. It was also more interesting to show all of the different colours when light hits an object like water.
By 1874, many different artists were painting in this new style, including Claude Monet. One of his paintings had the title, Impression: sunrise. A critic(评论家) h 90 these new artists. He used Monet’s title to make fun of these painters by calling them “impressionists(印象派)”, meaning that they didn’t make real paintings. The critics who liked these artists thought the word was just right. They began to use it happily. They thought it was more important to paint h 91 they saw things instead of just what they saw. Other artists around the world felt that they could have this freedom as well. Because of the impressionists, the art w 92 was never the same.

The little village of Milford in Derbyshire is usually quiet and peaceful and there is almost no crime. However, all this changed in the summer of 1995, when the Potter family moved into No. 16 Church Lane. There was Mr and Mrs Potter, their six children, aged between three and twenty-two, three dogs, several cats and two goats(山羊). The Potter family were noisy: the children played loud music day and night and the animals were never quiet.
Dorothy Price lived next door to the Potters. She was an elderly woman who had lived in Milford all her life. At first, the noise didn’t disturb her and she told other neighbours that the Potters seemed to be a pleasant family who were always friendly. But as time went by and the noise got worse, Dorothy started to get very upset.
One day, she complained to Mrs Potter that the goats had been making a noise all night and had kept her awake. On another occasion, she told Mr Potter to stop running his car engine on Sunday

Dorothy Price decided it was time for action. One night, she went into the Potter’s garden and gave sleeping pills(药片) to the dogs and goats. For once, she had a peaceful night’s sleep, but the following morning all the animals were still asleep.
The Potters called the police. When the police officer arrived, Mr Potter told him that Dorothy Price had tried to poison(毒死) his animals the night before and that she was always complaining about his family. Just then, Dorothy appeared at her front door. “The Potters have caused nothing but trouble since they moved in,” she said to the police officer. “I’m an animal lover myself, but the way the Potters treat their animals is cruel.” She told him that she had given the animals sleeping pills and said that she was sorry, but in the end she had had no choice; it was the only way she could get a good night’s sleep.
