DISAPPEARING ART
	Duncan Hamilton creates great works of art, but he doesn't use paint or pencils. He's a sculptor, but he doesn't use wood or stone. He always works quickly and the longest he's ever spent on a sculpture is two weeks. So what kind of material does he use to create his art? Ice!
	Duncan has had an interesting career. He started out as a chef and then became interested in ice sculpture. Now he has his own business, making fantastic ice sculptures for all kinds of purposes, including for the cinema, advertising, tourism and for magazine photos. Duncan has made everything from a life-size igloo in London's Trafalgar Square to a 12 metre-wide castle for a wedding, and ice cubes for drink adverts.
	So how does he make his sculptures? Duncan and his team work very carefully to produce their ice. This is because it has to be very clean and clear. It also has to be stored at certain temperatures. If the ice is completely frozen, it can be very hard to work with. Not only that, but the ice can burn, so the artists have to wear special protective clothes.
	Unlike other forms of art, ice sculptures don't last forever because they melt. Some people can't imagine losing something they've created like this. Luckily, Duncan doesn't mind watching his sculptures slowly change and then disappear. Many of the sculptures even look better after a few hours at room temperature. The average ice sculpture lasts for six or seven hours and may take a couple of days to completely melt, but the smaller ones don't last long at all.
Question 28. What is the writer's main aim in writing the text?
	A. To talk about the importance of art.	
	B. To explain how one artist works.
	C. To say why ice sculpture is popular.	
	D. To describe the disadvantages of being an artist.
Question 29. What would a reader learn about Duncan Hamilton from the text?
	A. He has always been a successful artist.	
	B. He prefers to work alone.
	C. He makes sculptures from all kinds of material.	
	D. He is popular with the media.
Question 30. What does the writer say about the ice?
	A. Duncan's team make it themselves	B. It must be completely frozen.
	C. The team have to make it quickly.	D. It is completely safe to work with.
Question 31. The writer says that Duncan's sculptures
	A. are always huge.	B. generally last for a day.
	C. take about a week to make.	D. can improve when they start to melt.
