I. The American artist George Catlin devoted most of his life to drawing and painting Indians. He traveled from tribe to tribe, often alone and almost always made welcome, and he came to know and understand the Indians and their way of life.
II. In the early 1800s, he was already an established painter of miniatures in Philadelphia. But Catlin wasn't satisfied with his career. He spent much of his free time at the Peale Museum, attracted by an exhibit from the famous Lewis and Clark expedition. One day while he was there, he happened to see a delegation of Indians from the Western Plains. He was so impressed by the Indians that he immediately decided to go west. "Nothing short of the loss of my life shall prevent me from visiting their country and becoming their historian," he said. Before he could leave, though, he had to earn enough money for the journey.
III. Finally, in 1830, Catlin was ready. He traveled to St. Louis, where he had his first real meeting with Plains Indians. He became acquainted with many tribes - the Sauk, the Sioux, the Shawnee, to name only a few. Once Catlin painted a portrait of the chief of the Blackfeet surrounded by his own warriors, while their enemies, the Crow, sat around the room and watched. Catlin was tense, fearing an outbreak of violence. But the braves only smoked their pipes calmly and recited tales of past battles.
IV. Catlin seldom had trouble with the Indians who posed for him. Once, though, he made the mistake of painting a young brave in profile. When the Indian saw the finished portrait, he was furious. He told Catlin that he had always looked straight at the white man; now the painter had made him look away, as though ashamed. He threatened to kill the artist if he didn't change the painting. Catlin went ahead and painted him a new pair of eyes, but after the brave had gone, he wiped them out and restored the original side view.
V. Catlin's fame soon spread. The Indians who posed for him were amazed that he could produce a "twin being," an exact replica of themselves. They called this "Man with the Blue Eyes" a "Magic Painter" and regarded him with awe. During his career, Catlin did more than six hundred Indian paintings. "I stand as the champion of a people who have treated me kindly ... of whom I am bound to speak well," he said. Today, Indians like Chief One Horn look down from the walls of the National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C. which is a lasting memorial to the artist who used his "magic" to paint them.
A41. Which would be the most suitable title for the story?
1) How George Catlin Painted
2) The Artist Who Taught Indians
3) George Catlin: Artist And Historian
A42. According to the story, George Catlin decided to go west because
1) his curiosity was so great.
2) his desire to get to know Indian peoples was great.
3) his ambition to become a foremost painter of his day was great.
A43. Catlin wanted to depict Indian lifestyle on canvas because
1) it was a sure way to everlasting glory and fame.
2) it was a sure way to safeguard native American heritage.
3) it was a sure way to experience adventure and fun.
А 44. Catlin was well liked by the Indians as he
1) never violated their customs and traditions.
2) always treated them with respect.
3) sometimes was afraid of their violent ways.
A45. The painter's works gave viewers a chance
1) to admire a variety of colors.
2) to learn about long-forgotten lifestyle.
3) to get to know more about their ethnic roots.
