B Football scarves, shirts and...eggshell art ？A retired school teacher is making mascot memorabilia (吉祥物纪念品) from eggshell, skillfully crafted by hand. Nguyen Thanh Tam, 67 years old, spends hours every day making the models. He is driven by his soccer enthusiasm shared by millions across Vietnam glued to the World Cup. The soccer tournament kicked off in Russia a few weeks ago. Most of his tiny statues are of the tournament mascot, a wolf named Zabivaka. The wolf wears big sports glasses and is kicking a soccer ball. Tam also has plans for models of soccer heroes Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Though not widespread in Vietnam, using eggshell in art is not unheard of. Traditional fine works often feature in laid eggshell that is used to replace white paint. Tam first developed the unique hobby around New Year in 2002. He was looking for the right material to make a statue with his 13-year-old students. He discovered that an eggshell perfectly displayed Saint Nick’s round belly. He eventually married his passion for crafts and soccer. He started making World Cup mascots during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Now he has about 1, 000 of the small statues in his apartment. Some celebrate the 2016 Rio Olympics and the Euro 2016 football tournament in France. Others are of famous people like Charlie Chaplin, Barack Obama and Gangnam Style’s PSY. He also does birds and animals. He has his pig related series to mark the Year of the Pig in 2019. Tam says the biggest challenge is to find the right egg shape to fit the creation, so he has expanded beyond chicken eggs to include ostrich and quail (鹌鹑) eggs. He has also widened his egg artworks by using up all the yolks (蛋黄) and whites he used to throw away. Tam doesn’t sell the delicate dolls, preferring instead to keep them on display to impress his visitors. He has already received a nod from Vietnam’s record center for the most eggshell art created, but he has a global ambition. “I hope one day my eggshell art will be recognized as a world record,” he said with a smile. 24. What can be learned about Tam’s artworks? A. They adopt white paint. B. They’re made of eggshell. C. They sell well on the market. D. They’re partly produced by machine. 25. What’s the main purpose of Tam producing the art? A. To achieve fame and fortune. B. To make a living. C. To satisfy his passion. D. To entertain his students. 26. What’s Paragraph 6 mainly about? A. Tam’s unique art style. B. Tam’s interest in art collection. C. Tam’s achievement in teaching. D. Tam’s highly completed artworks. 27. What’s a great problem for Tam? A. It’s difficult to find suitable eggshells. B. It’s hard to make good use of ostrich eggs. C. It’s unbearable to throw away the yolks and whites. D. It’s too hard for his art to be recognized worldw
