could find the money.
However, no pot of gold was to be found. The three sons were disappointed to have all their work for nothing.
The next apple season, the apple trees in the orchard bore more fruit than they had ever given. When it was sold, it gave the sons a whole pot of gold.
And when they saw how much money had come from the orchard, they suddenly understood what the wise father had meant when he said, “There is gold hidden in the orchard. Dig for it, if you wish.” (15. T 16. F 17. T 18. T 19. F 20. F)
D: Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences. （听短文，完成下列句子。每空格限填一词）
Aelita Andre, a young artist from Melbourne, Australia, has been described as “the world’s youngest professional artist.” She is known for her special painting style and her young age.
In 2011, when Aelita was only four years old, she held her first paiting show in New York. It contained 24 of her paintings, each on sale for between $4,400 and $10,000.
Aelita showed strong interest in painting when she was only a baby. At that time, she often watched her parents, both artists themselves, work on canvases (画布) on the floor. When she was only nine months old, Aelita crawled over one of her father’s canvases and began mixing colors--- that’s when she started painting.
Like any child, Aelita can be easily distracted(分散注意力), but her parents say that whenever they put her in front of a canvas, she will always stay focused. It can take her from a few hours to up to a day to finish her artworks.
Now Aelita’s cheapest paintings are selling for more than $3,000 each. She has already made more than $ 100,000 from her art---more money than most professional artists earn in a lifetime.
It’s clear that the little girl has a great talent for painting and she has become the youngest professional painter in the world.
