There are still many things that Peter Cooke would like to try his hand at — paper-making and feather-work are on his list. For the moment, though, he will stick to the skill that he has been delighted to make perfect over the past ten years: making delicate and unusual objects out of shells.

As he leads me round his apartment showing me his work, he points to a pair of shell-covered ornaments(裝飾品) above a fireplace. “I shan’t be at all bothered if people don’t buy them because I have got so used to them, and to me they’re lovely. I never meant to sell my work commercially. Some friends came to see me about five years ago and said, ‘You must have an exhibition — people ought to see these. We’ll talk to a man who owns an art gallery’”. The result was an exhibition in London, at which 70 per cent of the objects were sold. His second exhibition opened at the gallery yesterday. Considering the enormous prices the pieces command —around ￡2,000 for the ornaments — an empty space above the fireplace would seem a small sacrifice for Cooke to make.

There are 86 pieces in the exhibition, with prices starting at￡225 for a shell-flower in a crystal vase. Cooke insists that he has nothing to do with the prices and is cheerily open about their level: he claims there is nobody else in the world who produces work like his, and, as the gallery-owner told him, “Well, you’re going to stop one day and everybody will want your pieces because there won’t be any more.”

“I do wish, though,” says Cooke, “that I’d taken this up a lot earlier, because then I would have been able to produce really wonderful things — at least the potential would have been there. Although the ideas are still there and I’m doing the best I can now, I’m more limited physically than I was when I started.” Still, the work that he has managed to produce is a long way from the common shell constructions that can be found in seaside shops. “I have a miniature(微型的) mind,” he says, and this has resulted in boxes covered in thousands of tiny shells, little shaded pictures made from shells and baskets of astonishingly realistic flowers.?

Cooke’s quest(追求) for beautiful, and especially tiny, shells has taken him further than his Norfolk shore: to France, Thailand, Mexico, South Africa and the Philippines, to name but a few of the beaches where he has lain on his stomach and looked for beauties to bring home. He is insistent that he only collects dead shells and defends himself against people who write him letters accusing him of stripping the world’s beaches. “When I am collecting shells, I hear people’s great fat feet crunching(嘎吱嘎吱地踩) them up far faster than I can collect them; and the ones that are left, the sea breaks up. I would not dream of collecting shells with living creatures in them or diving for them, but once their occupants have left, why should I not collect them?” If one bases this argument on the amount of luggage that can be carried home by one man, the beauty of whose work is often greater than its natural parts, it becomes very convincing indeed.

1.What does the reader learn about Peter Cooke in the first paragraph?

A. He has produced hand-made objects in different materials.?

B. He hopes to work with other materials in the future.?

C. He has written about his love of making shell objects.?

D. He was praised for his shell objects many years ago.

         A. cleverly changes the subject.

         B. defends the prices charged for his work.

         C. says he has no idea why the level is so high.

         D. notes that his work will not always be so popular.

A. the loss of Cooke’s ornaments?            B. the display of Cooke’s ornaments?

C. the cost of keeping Cooke’s ornaments      D. the space required to store Cooke’s ornaments

4.What does Cooke regret about his work?

A. He is not as famous as he should have been.?B. He makes less money than he should make.

C. He is less imaginative than he used to be.?      D. He is not as skillful as he used to be. ?

5.What does the reader learn about Cooke's shell-collecting activities?

I believe in miracles(奇跡)because I've seen so many of them. One day, a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old. “There’s a   36   in my upper jaw,” she said. “I told my own dentist it's nothing, but he   37   I come to see you.”

Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her. He would    38   to add something, but she stopped him. She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the    39   of her mouth. A careful examination later    40    that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.

During her next appointment, I explained to her the   41   of the problem. She clasped my hand in hers and said, “I know you’re worried about me, but I’m just   42   .  ”

I thought otherwise. After considerable   43   on my part, and kindness on her part because she wanted to   44   me, she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon(外科醫(yī)生). She saw him, but as I expected,    45   treatment.

“How are you?” I asked.

“I’m just fine, honey,” she responded   47   high spirits. “When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”

Surprised to see her at all, I answered   48   , “Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”

       I couldn’t believe my eyes. The cancer that had   49   nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness    50   .

       I had read of such things happening, but had    51   seen them with my own eyes. That was my first miracle. Since then I've seen many others, because they keep getting   52   to see. In fact, miracles are daily events for me now. And people are a miracle,   53   through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to   54   the miracles of one another.

       Since my first miracle, I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it.
