Distinguished Baltimore artist John D. Ferguson died Sept 16. The Catonsville resident was 81.
“His artist eye was in everything he did. His life was art and his family,” said Jennifer C. Jackson, who was Mr. Ferguson's friend for nearly three decades.” He was a lovable man who was always willing to talk about any topic he was interested in. At shows, people would go crazy for his work,” Ms. Jackson said. “He was also an enthusiastic sailor who loved nothing more than being on the water.” “His sculptures were just memorable,” said Mr. Lund, a Washingtonian. “I used to say, ‘Ferguson, I don't think you know how to do anything that is less than monumental.’”
Mr. Ferguson earned a bachelor's degree in 1961 at Holy Cross University, where he developed an interest in painting. He served in the Army for two years until being discharged in 1963, and after studying briefly at the Boston Museum School, registered at the Chicago Art Institute, where he studied until 1966, when he entered the University of Illinois Chicago, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in 1966 in fine arts. Mr. Ferguson developed his interest and skills as a sculptor after moving to Baltimore to do further studies at the Maryland Institute College of Art's Rinehart School of Sculpture, from which he graduated in 1971 with a master's degree in fine arts.
“Over the years my work has moved gradually in the direction of elegance and simplicity,” Mr. Ferguson wrote
in his artist statement. “Heavy, bulbous forms have been replaced by dancing, winglike forms. The welding process and respect for the qualities of the materials are interrelated and affect the final piece. “Most of the sculptures that are pictured in my works are made from steel, silicon bronze, and to Cor-Ten steel; shaped to create these beautiful and unique pieces of art. As you can see, my sculptures range in size anywhere from 12 inches to 30 feet or larger.”
Through the years, his work found its way into such major public and private collections. “They encourage optimism, for they show strength and affirmation; there's nothing negative, depressing or anxiety-ridden about them”, wrote the late art critic John Dorsey in a 1997 exhibition review. 4. What did Mr. Lund think of Ferguson? A. Likeable. B. Ordinary. C. Unwelcome. D. Interesting.
5. What did Mr. Ferguson do first after serving in the army? A. He studied at the Boston Museum School. B. He got a bachelor's degree in fine arts. C. He entered the University of Illinois Chicago.
D. He continued his studies at the Maryland Institute College. 6. What influences the final sculptures? A. An even larger scale than before. B. The material comprised of metals C. The shape of elegance and simplicity. D. Welding process as well as material quality. 7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A stylish, stubborn old man B. Sculptures towering into the clouds
C. John D. Ferguson—a famous sculpturer D. The evolution of the sculptural style

Slowing down was the last thing on Elaine Schaefer's mind when she turned 70 last year. She'd enjoyed an ambitious travel schedule for the previous decade. She didn't feel too old to travel.
Yet many people are asking that slightly embarrassing question: Can you be too old to travel? The travel industry has already responded. Try renting a car inEurope, for example. InCroatia, Schaefer wouldn't be able to this year, because the maximum age is 70. Insurance companies require higher rates; tour operators limit certain activities.
That feels like a \" no\" for many travelers.
Definitely some folks should think twice before traveling, but not only based on their age. It's their level of fitness, says Kirsten Veldman, a former tour guide who now edits a retirement blog. She recalls a 93-year-old who was disabled and traveling alone on aCaribbeantour. \"You can't expect to ask a tour leader to be there for you 24/7 for medical care. \" she says. \"Tour guides don't have the time, skills, and knowledge for it. So, in this case, my advice is: he shouldn't have traveled with us in this situation. \"
But some tour operators serve older travelers. For example, Grand Circle Travel started in 1958 to serve senior members. “We have travelers into their 80s and even 90s. Some travel as a couple and some alone,” says company spokeswoman Ann Shannon. “We have no age limit.”
If you ask travel experts, they'll tell you that age is just a number. It's a question of physical, and to a certain extent, mental ability. \"Many of our travelers are retired, focused on keeping their good health, and are experienced travelers who have a good idea of what to expect, \"says Sara Baer-Sinnott, president of Oldways, a food and nutrition nonprofit that operates tours. \"Someone in their 40's may struggle more than someone in their 80s. \" 8. What is expected if Schaefer travels inCroatiathis year? A. She can rent a car to go around. B. She has to pay more insurance fees. C. She can join in all kinds of activities. D. She will receive 24/7 medical care.
9. What caused Veldman to disapprove of the 93-year-old's traveling? A. His old age. B. His lack of money.
C. His poor health. D. His in sociable personality. 10. What do we know about Grand Circle Travel? A. It is a non-profit traveling organization. B. It offers service to a wide range of travelers. C. It has a history of more than seven decades. D. Its main customers are senior travelers.
11. What is the authors altitude towards traveling old?
A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Objective.
D
Preparations for the Tokyo Olympics have suffered another challenge after a survey found that 60% of people
in Japan want them to be cancelled,less than three months before the Games are scheduled to open.
Japan has extended a state of emergency in Tokyo and several other regions until the end of May as it struggles to control a fast increase in COVID-19 cases caused by new, more catching variants(变异体)with medical staff warning that health services in some areas are on the edge of breaking down.
The Olympics, which were delayed by a year due to the pandemic, are set to open on 23 July, with the International Olympic Committee(IOC)and organizers insisting that measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of athletes and other visitors, as well as a nervous Japanese public.
The survey, conducted between 7 and 9 May by the conservative Yomiuri Shimbun, showed 60% wanted the Games cancelled as opposed to 39% who said they should be held. “Postponement” — an option abandoned by the IOC — was not offered as a choice.
Of those who said the Olympics should go ahead, 23% said they should take place without audience. Foreign audience have been banned but a final decision on native attendance will be made in June.
Another poll conducted at the weekend by TBS News found 65% wanted the Games cancelled or postponed again, with 37% voting to give up the event altogether and 28% calling for another delay. A similar poll in April conducted by Kyodo news agency found 70% wanted the Olympics cancelled or postponed.
The IOC's vice president, John Coates, said that while Japanese sentiment about the Games “was a concern”, he could foresee no situation under which the sporting events would not go ahead.
12. How many Japanese wish the Olympics would not be held in Tokyo according to the survey? A. 60%. B. 28%. C. 37%. D. 70%. 13. What should be put into consideration if the Olympics open? A. The economic crisis. B. The urban transport.
C. The safety of athletes. D. The health condition of citizens. 14. What is some people's attitude towards foreign spectators in Paragraph 5?
A. Welcome. B. Unfriendly. C. Cold. D. Unsupported. 15. What can we conclude from John Coates'words? A. The Olympics will be stopped this year. B. The Olympics will be put off. C. The Olympics will be held normally. D. The Olympics will take place in other place.
