One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist. In
effect, a market must be created for an artist to be successful. The practice of signing and
numbering individual prints was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth
century artist best known for the painting of his mother, called "Arrangement in Grey and Black",
but known to most of us as "Whistler's Mother". Whistler's brother-in-law, Sir Francis Seymour
Haden, a less well-known artist, had speculated that collectors might find prints more attractive
if they knew that there were only a limited number of copies produced. By signing the work in
pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print.
As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints,
their work began to increase in value. When other artists noticed that the signed prints
commanded higher prices, they began copying the procedure.
Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the
placement of the signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within
image, in any of the margins, or even on the reverse side of the print. Wherever the artist elects to
sign it, a signed print is still valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition.

A. Copying Limited Edition Prints
B. Whistler's Mother.
C. The Practice of Signing Prints
D. Whistler's Greatest Works
Question 30: The word "they" in paragraph 1 refers to ______.

Question 31: According to the passage, the thing that made Whistler's work more valuable was
______.
A. his painting of his mother
B. his signature on the prints
C. his brother-in-law's prints
D. his fame as an artist
Question 32: The word "speculated" in the paragraph 1 could best be replaced by ______.
A. noticed
B. denied
C. guessed
D. announced

There are many jobs available today that give people opportunities to travel. Although many
traveling careers sound fantastic, they also have disadvantages.
Being an au pair is an excellent way to not only go to different countries, but to live in
different places around the world and really get a feel for the culture. Au pairs live with the
families they are placed with and take care of children. Many parents include au pairs in family
events and vacations, so they experience many aspects of the new culture while on the job.
However, many of the activities are centered around the children, so they may not get to
experience many things that interest adults.
For people who want a bit more freedom working abroad, being an English teacher maybe
a good choice. There are English teaching jobs in almost countries in the world. People teaching
English in other countries often have a chance to travel on the weekends around the country. One
drawback is that many teachers often wind up hanging out with other English teachers, and they
don't have time to learn the country's language.
The nickname "roadie" implies that this job involves life on the road. Roadies are people

around the world, often requiring air travel. However, the crew doesn't get much time off, so they
may travel to several countries without seeing much besides concert venues and hotels.
Similarly, flight attendants often travel to cities around the world, but they don't see much
besides the inside of airplanes and hotels. However, when they do have time off, they can often fly at
no cost, and family member can sometimes fly free as well. It is widely thought that a flight
attendant job is glamorous, but flight attendants must deal with travel hassles, as well as security
issues.
