背景导学
该段听力材料讲述了一个给无色的老虎画上颜色的故事,展示了画家Van Gogh的聪明以及老虎对自由的渴望。

Once upon a time, there was a colorless tiger. His lack of color made him so famous that the world's greatest painters came to his zoo to try to put some color on him. But none of them succeeded.
Then along came Van Gogh, the painter. When he said he wanted to paint the colorless tiger, everyone had a good laugh. When entering the tiger's cage he began whispering in the animal's ear, and moving his dry brush up and down the tiger's body. And to everyone's surprise, the tiger's skin started to take on the most vivid colors. Van Gogh spent a long time whispering to the animal, and making slight adjustments to his painting. The result was truly “beautiful”.
Everyone was puzzled. He explained that he had managed to paint the tiger using a phrase he kept whis pering in his ear: “If you don't follow me, you won't be free again.”
Now you see how joyful the tiger seemed at the sight of freedom. The zoo authorities finally transported him to the forest and set him free, where never again would he lose his color.
