Suppose someone asks you to paint a picture. “All right,” you think. “No

problem. I can fill the paper pretty easily.” But what if the picture you are asked to

paint is three stories high, two city blocks long, and one block wide? In other words, a

3 total of 17,000 square feet! Most people would be overwhelmed by the request. But

not Diego Rivera.

Diego Rivera (1886-1957) was one of modern Mexico’s most famous painters.

When he was asked to paint this huge picture, he knew he could do it. During his life,

Rivera painted 124 frescos that showed Mexican life, history, and social problems. A

fresco is a painting on wet plaster (灰泥).

Rivera had to plan ahead and drew simply about what he planned to paint. Then

Rivera’s assistants would put all but the final layer (层) of plaster on the wall. Next,

they used sharp tools to dig the outline of Rivera’s quickly-made drawing into the

plaster. Then, they made a mixture of lime (石灰) and sand and spread this over the

outline in a thin layer. As soon as this layer was firm — but not dry — Rivera began

to paint. Every morning, his paints had to be freshly mixed. Rivera would paint as

long as there was daylight. He refused to paint under man-made light since it would

change how the colors looked.

Sometimes, Rivera would say that what he had painted that day was not good

enough. Then he would insist that all the plaster be cut off so he could start again! It

took Rivera years to finish, but this fresco is thought to be one of the greatest in the

world. The man himself is considered to be the greatest Mexican artist of the

twentieth century.

24. What would most people think about the request of painting the huge picture?

A. It is possible. B. It is pretty easy.

C. It is interesting. D. It is too difficult.

25. The third paragraph is about _____.

A. how Rivera mixed different paints

B. how Rivera chose his assistants

C. how Rivera did his painting

D. how Rivera became famous

26. What can we learn about Diego Rivera?

A. He wanted everything to be perfect.
