题目内容:

Winston Churchill was one of the great men of his age. To show their respect for him, the British

lawmakers asked a fine artist, Graham Sutherland, to paint Winston Churchill's picture. When it was

completed, it was presented to him, at a grand affair in the Westminster Hall, at the House of Commons (下议院).

There is a famous film that shows Churchill accepting the gift. He describes the painting as "a

remarkable example of modern art", which draws loud laughter.

In fact he must have been unhappy with the painting. Sutherland later reported that he asked whether

it was to be painted with a "happy" or "angry" attitude. "Angry," replied Churchill. At the time, Churchill

was coming to the end of his political life and was unhappy that people wanted him to end his career.

Some twenty years later it was revealed that Lady Churchill hated the painting so much that she had it

destroyed. "It was preying on (折磨) his mind," she was reported as saying.

A leading art critic was asked what he thought about the matter. He said he could understand Lady

Churchill and had pity on her. Graham Sutherland was a very honest artist, who could only paint what

he saw. At the time it was painted, Churchill was an old man, worried by the thought that he would have

to end his political career soon. But Lady Churchill shouldn't have had the painting destroyed. It could

have been stored away until after their deaths.1. Why did the British lawmakers ask Graham Sutherland to paint a picture of Winston Churchill?A. To show their respect for him.
