It was reported in the newspapers to show that Churchill accepted the gift. He described the painting as "a remarkable example of modern art", which drew loud laughter.
In fact he was unhappy with the painting. Sutherland later reported that he asked whether it was to be painted in with a "happy" or "fierce" attitude. "Fierce," replied Churchill. At the time, Churchill was coming to the end of his political life and was unhappy that people wanted him to end his career.
Some twenty years later it was revealed that Lady Churchill hated the painting so much that she had it destroyed. "It was preying on (折磨) his mind," she was reported as saying.
A leading art critic was asked what he thought about the matter. He said he could understand Lady Churchill and had pity on her. Graham Sutherland is a very honest artist, who could only paint what he saw. At the time it was painted, Churchill was an old man, worried by the thought that he would have to end his political career soon. But Lady Churchill shouldn't have had the painting destroyed. It could have been stored away until after their deaths.

听力原文: (35) In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the "unpardonable". I gave the class homework ! (32) The assignment was "to go to someone you love within the next week and tell them you love them. It has to be someone you have never said those words to before or at least haven't shared those words with for a long time."
Now that doesn't sound like a very tough assignment, until you stop to realize that (33) most of the men were over 35 and were raised in the generation of men that were taught that showing feelings or crying was just not done.
At the beginning of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to share what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the women to volunteer, as was usually the case, but on this evening one of the men raised his hand. It was James.
He said that he was quite angry with the assignment. He didn't feel that he had anyone to say those words to, and besides, it was a total private thing. But when he was driving home, he thought it over and found that the assignment was exactly what he needed. (34) Five years ago, he had a fierce quarrel with his father and really never resolved it since that time. They avoided seeing each other unless they absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But even then, they never spoke to each other. So James decided to finish the assignment. When he got home, he convinced himself to tell his father he loved him. Both of them were moved to tears.
(33)
A.Spend some time with people who you love.
B.Say "I lore you" to people you love.
C.Show love to people you love by buying flower.
D.Help people who you love.

Did Sarah Josepha Hale write “Mary’s Little Lamb,” the eternal nursery rhyme(儿歌)about girl named Mary with a stubborn lamb? This is still disputed, but it’s clear that the woman 26 reputed for writing it was one of America’s most fascinating 27 characters. In honor of the poem publication on May 24,1830, here’s more about the 28 supposed author’s life.Hale wasn’t just a writer, she was also a 29 fierce social advocate, and she was particularly 30 obsessed with an ideal New England, which she associated with abundant Thanksgivinx xg meals that she claimed had “a deep moral influence,” she began a nationwide 31 campaign to have a national holiday declared that would bring families together while celebrating the 32 traditional festivals. In 1863, after 17 years of advocacy including letters to five presidents, Hale got it. President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, issued a 33 proclamation setting aside the last Thursday in November for the holiday.The true authorship of “Mary’s Little Lamb” is disputed. According to New England Historical Society, Hale wrote only one part of the poem, but claimed authorship. Regardless of the author, it seems that the poem was 34 inspired by a real event. When young Mary Sawyer was followed to school by a lamb in 1816, it caused some problems. A bystander named John Roulstone wrote a poem about the event, then, at some point, Hale herself seems to have helped write it. However, if a 1916 piece by her great-niece is to be trusted, Hale claimed for the 35 rest of her life that “Some other people pretended that someone else wrote the poem”.
A)campaign
B)career
C)characters
D)features
E)fierce
F)inspired
G)latter
H)obsessed
I)proclamation
J)rectified
K)reputed
L)rest

Sir Humphrey Gilbert led the first English settlement efforts but failed. Gilbert's half brother Sir Walter Raleigh continued his work. Raleigh sent a number of ships to explore the east coast of North America. (33) He called the land Virginia to honor England's unmarried Queen Elizabeth.
In 1585 .about one-hundred men settled on Roanoke Island, off the coast of the present day state of North Carolina. These. settlers returned to England a year later. Another group went there the next year. This group included many women and children. But the supply ships Raleigh sent to the colony failed to arrive. When help got there in 1590, none of the settlers could be found.
History experts still are not sure what happened. Some research suggests that at least some of the settlers became part of the Indian tribe that lived iii the area.
One reason for the delay in getting supplies to Roanoke was the attack of the Spanish Navy against England in 1588. King Phillip of Spain had decided to invade England. (34) But the small English ships combined with a fierce storm defeated the huge Spanish fleet. As a result, Spain was no longer able to block English exploration.
(35) England discovered that supporting colonies so far away was extremely costly. So Queen Elizabeth took no more action to do this. It was not until after her death in 1603 that England began serious efforts to start colonies in America.
