Frank Wright did not call himself an
artist but an architect. But the buildings he
5
were
works of
art. He
didn’t like
the ugly
square buildings around him and
6
why people
built
ugly homes, when they could have
beautiful ones.
Wright
lived from 1869 to 1959. When he was young, there
were no courses in architecture,
so he
went to work in an architect's office, and soon he
himself was designing buildings that were
beautiful.
He
also wanted to make his buildings
7
the
land around them. One of the houses he
designed is on top of a high hill.
Other people built tall square houses on hills,
but Wright did not
want to
8
the beauty of
the hill. He built the house low and wide. Now
other architects
know how to design
buildings to fit into the land. Frank Lloyd Wright
showed them how to do it.

July
16th was a bad day for Mr. Arthur Johnson. In the
morning, he set out from his home in
Santa Barbara, Caledonia. It was the
start of his summer holidays and he decided to
visit Wends at
Las Vegas, then he hoped
to go fishing in Lake Mead, 40 km from Las Vegas.
Johnson's troubles started
while he was driving happily across the Mojave
Desert. His car
went wrong and he tried
to repair it. Then, to make matters worse, his
attempts to start the car used
up(
耗尽
) the
battery and left it useless. After Johnson had
waited an hour in the hot sun, a
Canadian driver, John Williams, stopped
and tried to help him. When both men failed,
Williams
promised to telephone a
workshop to ask it to send a truck to pull the car
away and repair its fuel
pump.
Johnson left the keys in
his car and sat in the shade of a large tree. Soon
he fell asleep. While
he was sleeping,
a repair truck arrived from San Pedro (the nearest
town) and pulled his car away.
Later
on, Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had
stolen his car. He started to walk back
towards San Pedro but a police car
stopped him to find out why he was walking in the
desert.

like a man wanted in Los Angeles for robbery, so
the police detained
（拘留）
him at San Pedro for the night. The
next day, Johnson telephoned his friends in Los
Angeles. They
drove to San Pedro and
made the police believe that Johnson was a
harmless salesman, so they set
him
free.
