Moscow, Russia (Space news)—“The computer is a better chess player,” insisted Viktor Prozorov, the loser. “It seemed as if it were laughing after every good move. I know I should have beaten it for the sake of mankind (為人類着想), but I just couldn’t win,” he announced and shook his head sadly.

“I would almost rather see you dead,” Robert S. Cassatt, a leading banker (銀行家) of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady’s family ranked among (躋身於) the best of Philadelphia’s social (社交界的) families, such an idea could not even be considered.

That was how Mary Cassatt, born 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father’s anger. Instead, she opposed (抗拒) him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position (社會地位) and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance (堅持), she became America’s most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.

1. How did Mr. Cassatt react (反應) when his daughter made her announcement?

A. He feared for her life. B. He was very angry.

C. He nearly killed her. D. He warned her.

2. What in fact was Mr. Cassatt’s main reason in opposing his daughter’s wish?

A. Drawing and painting was simply unthinkable among ladies in those days.

B. He did not believe his daughter wanted to work seriously in art.

C. He believed an artist’s life would be too hard for his daughter.

D. Ladies of good families simply did not become artists in those times.
