Since an early age, I have developed an interest in art. I must admit that I am crazy about the paintings by Vincent van Gogh(1853-1890).

【小题1】(consider) as one of the greatest artists all the time, this Dutch Post-Impressionist artist had a great influence on the 20^th century art. His father was a church minister, 【小题2】 belief lay in God. Vincent spent his early adult life working for a firm of art dealers. After a brief period as a teacher, he tried to be a minister too, but he was not 【小题3】(success). Van Gogh had mental problems and was often emotional, which made 【小题4】 difficult for him to succeed. It is not until 1880 【小题5】 Vincent began his career as an artist. However, during the last ten years of his life, he produced more than 2,000 pieces, including around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings.

In 1890, at the age of 37, van Gogh shot himself in the chest. The only painting he sold during his lifetime, The Red Vineyard, was created in 1888. It is now 【小题8】 exhibition in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Russia. Several 【小题9】 (painting) by van Gogh rank among the most expensive in the world.

A new community, Oberbillwerder, is being planned in a suburb of Hamburg, Germany. 【小题1】makes it special is that it has no driveways or garages.

Unlike typical American suburbs 【小题2】houses have driveways and garages, this community won't allow you 【小题3】（park）cars at home. Darius Reznek, a managing partner at a design company, says, "There will be no cars parked on the street, and 【小题4】（honest）speaking, we want to give respects to walkers instead of having parking lots 【小题5】（fill）with cars."

This new community will have schools, stores and offices which residents can walk or bike 【小题6】 on the green loops（环线）that connect the neighborhoods with public spaces. The streets 【小题7】（use）as kind of shared living areas rather than for parking. For those who want to own cars, there'll be parking garages around 300 meters away so that for everyday errands（差事）it will be 【小题8】（easy）to go by bike or walk.

The parking structures will feature ground-level community spaces like gyms and indoor farming. A 【小题9】（develop）says these parking areas will also be able to store and collect energy for the community. If the demand for parking spaces 【小题10】（decrease）, they'll evolve into new structures.
