The dolphins were shown at area businesses and along the beach. Organizers paid $750 to cover the artists’ fees and the cost of the materials.19There were about 100 dolphin themes. They showed the works of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for. Probably the most unique was its artist, Pandora. 20Pandora, the dolphin painter, is a real dolphin, at the Dolphin Research Centre. The playful artist streaks colours across a dolphin painting, holding a brush in its mouth. The exhibition will be held by the Monroe Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts centre. 17 版權(quán)所有高考資源網(wǎng)。 A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting（誘人的）apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence.
