3．There is an old saying in Chinese： "To do a good job，one must first sharpen one's tools." When it comes to photography，however，it's not exactly the case.In this year's National Geographic Travel Photo Contest，Greenlandic Winter，a picture by Chinese photographer Chu Weimin，took first place in the cities category and won the overall grand prize as well.
   When asked why he chose Upernavik，a small fishing village in Greenland，to take his pictures，Chu described the first time he spotted the village from an airplane. "Through my entire flight，I could only see the land，covered by pure white ice and snow.But I suddenly saw a big，warm dot in the far distance — Upernavik，" he told National Geographic. "The beauty of this tranquil（寧?kù)o的）village was beyond my imagination.It was a 'wow' moment for me." This ability to identify a "wow moment" is what makes a good travel photographer.
   According to Chu，he was moved by Upernavik's blue tint at dusk，the warm yellow light from the windows，and the family of three walking along the snowy street.Although he is a professional photographer，many of Chu's Greenland pictures were shot with his phone.
   This attitude echoes that of Austrian-American photographer Ernest Haas（1921-1986）.Haas told his students that they were too obsessed with cameras to understand the essence of photography. "The camera doesn't make a bit of difference，" Haas said. "All of them can record what you are seeing.But you have to SEE."
   Perhaps it's not just in photography that we've put too much emphasis on the role of tools.How many of you are reluctant to start a new sport or learn new software simply because you don't yet have the "right" outfit（裝備）or computer？
   It's true that "sharpened" tools make the work easier，hut as reporter Abhilash Pavuluri wrote on Firstpost： "In the end，it's really the artist that makes a good painting，not the paintbrush."

（1）What do we know about Chu Weimin？

A．He is better at photographing people than scenery.
B．His award-winning picture is set in a peaceful village.
C．His shooting style stands out from other photographers.
D．He is the first Chinese person to win the National Geographic Photo Contest.
（2）What's the main purpose of Paragraph 3？

A．To explain why Chu's picture stands out.
B．To introduce Chu's love for Upernavik.
C．To recommend a good place for taking photos.
D．To describe Chu's inspiration for the winning picture.
（3）What makes a good photographer，according to Haas？

A．The ability to find beauty.
B．Enthusiasm for photography.
C．Having rich parents.
D．Owning the best camera equipment.
（4）The underlined word "reluctant" in paragraph 5 has the closest meaning to

.
A．glad
B．unwilling
C．confident
D．supposed
