(威海高一期末)Szilajka Erzsebet is a Hungarian artist who turns ordinary pebbles into amazing works of art.The artist says she's inspired by the pebbles' shape, the richness of their patterns, and the beauty of nature.“I use all the pebbles in their original form shaped only by nature itself.”says Szilajka.
When Szilajka is creating her art, she lets her feelings shape the details.“This way the completed picture becomes dynamic in spite of the fact that the pebbles themselves play a static role in the work of art, ”explains the artist.“It's like a photo taken in the perfect time.It includes the movement, the feeling, the story which can be continued.This way there are not only pebbles in the pictures but invisible fingerprints and ‘soulprints’ as well.”
When creating her art, Szilajka often relies on her customers' ideas but uses her artistic freedom as well.“If I only listen to myself, I do think that the most essential elements in life stand on the simplest things, ”says the artist.“For me, art is adding that little something extra to simple subject matters.”
The artist believes that the completed work of art is not only her own but a common creation of the artist and the receiver.“These two things together is pebble art, ”explains Szilajka.“It only becomes a real work of art if it really means something to the receivers as they have the opportunity to add their own feelings and thoughts as well.Pebbles have no face, so anyone can enter and play a part in a pebble picture…”

(温州高一期末)On our second day in Barcelona, Spain, my classmates and I headed out to see the sights. We hadn't had a chance to stop by any banks to take out cash, but we had our bank cards, which, to our American way of thinking, would naturally be accepted anywhere. Our teacher led us to La Sagrada Familia, a church which has been under construction for over 100 years.
She let each of us decide whether we wanted to pay for entrance to the church or return to the hotel after a long day. Many headed for the subway and returned to the hotel. Eager to explore more, two of my friends and I wandered about the plaza(露天广场), but soon the other two decided they wanted to return to the hotel also. I was confident in my abilities and had a subway ticket, so I felt comfortable without them; I got in line to enter the church.
When I reached the window, they asked for the 10euro admission price. I confidently handed over my bank card, which they denied, asking for cash only. I was shocked. I only had three euros on hand, and my entire group had left. I was leaving the next day to fly to Madrid, and I wasn't going to get this opportunity again.
Just then, I overheard English being spoken around me. It took about ten minutes to collect my courage to approach the speakers and explained my dilemma: American student, no cash, priceless landmark, no other opportunity to see it. Fortunately, one smiling woman handed me a 20euro bill. “Go buy me a bottle of wine, and you can keep the change,” she offered. I did so without delay, grateful that I wouldn't miss this fantastic opportunity.
Perhaps seven euros didn't mean a lot to her, but it meant a lot to me, and she offered it in such a friendly way that I didn't feel like a beggar. That simple act of kindness remains in my memory as one of the nicest things a stranger has ever done for me.
