Question

【題目】閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

Every month we look at a different artist. We think Haroshi is super cool—he makes sculptures from skateboards.

Haroshi is in his late 30s. He's a skateboarder but he also makes things from wood. He began skateboarding when he was 15 years old and he loved it. He used to skate every day. Now, if you know anything about skateboarding, you'll know that skateboards don't last forever because they break. Haroshi didn't throw his out but he collected them. Over time he built up a big collection and at the same time he learnt about all the different types of skateboards. Surprisingly, not all skateboards are of the same shape and actually they are often built in different ways. By the time he was 25, he had a lot of collections of old skateboards.

He decided he had to do something with them so he started to cut them up. As he was doing that, he noticed some interesting patterns（圖案）in the wood. He then cut more and fixed them on top of each other. The first thing he created from the wood was a piece of jewelry. He created something new from something old.

Today, however, he is known for his large 3D wooden sculptures. His ideas generally come from skateboarding culture, from skateboarding cats to cool trainers, but also everyday topics such as hurting yourself, getting better, being crazy about something and growing up. All skateboarders will understand these. Haroshi has made over 40 pieces and each piece takes a very long time. There is no doubt that he is very talented. But he had no formal art training. He taught himself.

Haroshi held an exhibition（展覽）in London last month. As we entered the rst room, we saw a huge bird that covered one wall. There was also a sculpture called Ordinary Life. It looked like a broken leg—a very common problem, of course. It's unbelievable to think that these sculptures are all made from broken skateboards. But there's something else that is really interesting about Haroshi's works. In the twelfth century, Unkei, a sculptor, placed a glass ball in each of his works to show the heart of the piece. Haroshi also places something inside his sculptures—a piece of broken skateboard. In this way, he gives his sculptures life. We think that is just amazing!
