              In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never far away.

              We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom’ s vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn’t care much about my bedtime.

              Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn’t really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I came out, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.

              Mom and Dad were busy in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadn’t turned 5 yet.

              As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail(栏杆) at school?

              As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder(驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn’t realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I wrapped(包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.

              In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d’Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.

              Frida Kahlo， who died in 1954， is one of Mexico's best-known artists． She was the subject of the 2002movie Frida starring Salma Hayek．
              The 240 photos in the new exhibition at Artisphere in Arlington， Virginia， were chosen from more than 6，000 discovered recently in the home Kahlo shared with her husband， Diego Rivera． Only four are known to have been taken by the artist herself， including one of her dogs and a portrait of her nephew．
              "She actually wrote on the back of the photo： Frida Kahlo，"says Cynthia Connolly， Artisphere's visual arts curator（管理人）．
              Connolly is taken with an image by Kahlo called"Mexican Toys"．"It's almost like a horse-drawn cart， where the horse is topsy-turvy（颠倒的）and the person is on the ground，"she says．"It makes me wonder if she is describing her own accident in some Mexican toys．"
              Frida's bus accident， dramatized（戏剧化）in the movie Frida， caused severe injuries to her spine． In the exhibition， several images show her in a hospital．"You can tell she had pain most of her life，"Connolly says．"She was continually having operations to try to relieve her of that pain．"
              Other photos show family and friends， including photographer Nickolas Muray．"What you see in his studio is very interesting， because with the magnifying（放大的）glass， you can actually see there's a portrait of Frida Kahlo on the wall，"Connolly says．
              There are also self-portraits of her father， who was a professional photographer．"There are about 20self-portraits of her father， very formal photographs，"Connolly says．"They lead us to believe that possibly her father was a great influence on her art．"
              Frida collected photographs by other artists such as Man Ray．
              "When I look through this exhibition， I wonder what she saved and why she saved it． Was she planning on using it for a painting？"We may never know．

              (1) The new exhibition at Artisphere mainly wants to tell visitors something about ______ ．
              A. Frida Kahlo's art achievements
              B. the lifestyle of Mexican people
              C. Mexicans' photographing skills
              D. Frida Kahlo's life experiences
              (2) What can we learn about the movie Frida？ ______
              A. It was filmed soon after Frida Kahlo died．
              B. It tells Frida Kahlo's completely real life．
              C. Salma Hayek played the role of Frida Kahlo．
              D. Frida Kahlo was in hospital when it was finished．

              They tell us the origins of basketball can go back to Springfield，Massachusetts，where James Naismith invented a game for those who were always cutting men's gym class to play．The young men were unable to stay still and longed for a sport that was both exciting and interesting．After thinking over how to fill this blank，Naismith snatched some peach baskets，threw them a football and told them to go play．
              And so they did，nine to a side，wearing wool pants and turtlenecks （高领毛衣）．Basketball was officially born，in a form that is hardly recognizable today．
              The game that celebrated its 100th anniversary Saturday has been quite popular．Those who have watched and played and coached （训练） basketball realize Springfield's importance in their sport's history．For it was the place where the game originated．
              For Larry Bird，the game of basketball was born in a small town called French Lick，Indian-a，where，walking to his grandmother's house from school every day，he passed a court full of older，stronger players．Most times he was too cold and hungry to play．Most times he played anyway，until the game became his great interest and his lifeblood．
              Earvin Johnson had never heard of French Lick as a child．He was sure the game of basketball was invented in East Lansing，Michigan，where，after helping his father collect rubbish in the morning，he would seize an old plastic basketball and shake off the cold by shooting jumper after jumper．After a while，a warm feeling would come upon him，in spite of the snow．
