【正文】 ldren. I worry about them taking two buses to get home. It means a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them. When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe. I told him it wasn39。t a big deal, and that I enjoyed the kids. So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark. Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children. They bee, well, Doughnut Ladies. Like the men at the skating rink (滑冰場(chǎng)) who let my boys ring home。 Or the bus driver who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn39。t leave until I arrived to pick her up。 Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work — even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. Was that a police car I saw at your house last night? That wasn39。t a police car. That was a Doughnut Lady.（1）According to the passage, the author sometimes _______.

He lived for just 54 years but he packed his brief life with activity. The French painter spent his early childhood in Peru before returning to France. As an adult, he continued to travel a lot. Most famously, he spent much of the last decade of his life in Tahiti, an island in southern Pacific Ocean. Indeed, Gauguin is best known for his colorful paintings of Tahitians and their culture. The restlessness of this great painter has been normal among modern artists since the middle of the 19th century. They39。re never satisfied for long with a certain style or way of life. Once something bees conventional, it39。s turned down. The artistic culture that Gauguin developed from was that of Impressionism (印象派). Painters like Claude Monet had wanted to paint how they saw the world, not how their teachers taught them it should be seen. Gauguin, and similar artists like his friend Vincent van Gogh, moved even further away from respectable art than the Impressionists. For them, it was not simply a matter of seeing the world differently, but feeling and thinking about it differently, too. Gauguin saw, felt and thought differently from most members of European society. He thought that European culture was too fancy and not spontaneous. This is why he turned to the traditions of other parts of the world, like Africa, and, eventually, Tahiti. Artists like Gauguin used the word primitive for these cultures, but not as a negative term. For him, Europe, in being modem, industrial and scientific, seemed less natural than other parts of the world. In truth, Gauguin39。s paintings may be unconventional but they are certainly not primitive. They are the work of a painter with great awareness of what he was doing. It was this awareness that made him such an important painter for those that came after, in the 20th century. When we look closely at the works of Gauguin we begin to understand Pablo Picasso, and especially Henri Matisse, a little better.（1）What can we infer about Gauguin39。s life?
