  He lived his whole life as a poor man He suffered from a mental illness that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later. But after his death, he achieved the world fame.

  * And the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, home to the biggest collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary with exhibitions throughout the year.

  “He is a big fame like Einstein and Beethoven. He is such a great figure. We are always amazed by how popular he is and his popularity seems to be growing.” said Andreas Bluehm, the museum's head of exhibitions.

  Van Gogh was the son of a pastor. He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.

  “Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes. I use colour more freely, in order to express myself more forcibly,” he wrote in a letter to his brother, Theo, in 1888.

  Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. His “Portrait of Dr. Gachet” was sold for US 89.5 million in 1990. It is the highest price ever paid for a painting.

Of course, the remainder (余款) had to 4 with interest (利息) over a period of twenty years or so.

  

    The worker and his wife hopefully went to one of these companies 5 this wonderful offer. And the man in the office said." Yes, sure. You 6 along $ 1,000 and we can    7 you with a new house."

  

    So the worker and his wife    8 to work hard and in twelve months' time they returned to the building man with $ 1, 000. But the man in the office said, "Look, I'm sorry, 9 we'll need $ 1, 500 now. 10 have gone up since we saw you last, you know."

  

    The couple thought 11 and decided it would 12 very long to save the extra $ 500 if they worked hard.

  

    In six months they worked 13 overtime and saved the $ 500 14 the high rent they had to pay for their flat. Back to the building man they 15 with their $ 1, 500. But 16 their surprise he 17 the deposit was now $ 3, 000.

  

    Now somewhat wiser, the worker said," And the next time, I dare say we'll find the deposit 18 once more. How have we 19 save the extra $ 1, 500?"

  

    "Well,"said the man. "I think we can sterilize (稳定)the 20   for about twelve months. By the time you come with $ 3,000, we will have had the house 21 for you."

    The couple left, sad at 22 as they saw their dream house 23. By the time they had saved the extra $ 1, 500, 24 the deposit would have become 25, maybe $ 5, 000, then $ 10,000 and then…!

One day a student asked him,”My dear teacher,didn't you 4 you yourself have 5 questions about things than we do?On the contrary we students have far more than you.”

6 a smile,the teacher drew two circles:one as large as a big wheel, 7 smaller.

“Of course,I’ve learned much more.But a teacher does not necessarily have 8 questions than his students.Now look at these two circles.Within the big one is my knowledge of things,and within the smaller one 9 .Out of the circles is 10 is still unknown to us. 11 mine is larger,the line that 12 the circle is longer.That means I have more opportunities to face what is 13 unknown.And that’s why I myself have more questions that you do.The 14 you learn,the more questions you will have.You will 15 learn enough,you know.”
