By definition, superstars stand out. This is certainly true of Leonardo da Vinci. He was born in Vinci, Italy, in 1452. Had his mother not been a peasant, things might have turned out differently for da Vinci. He most likely would have attended the university in Florence and studied to be a notary like his well-to-do father. Instead of painting and inventing ways to solve problems, his days would have been busy filling out legal documents. ② But his parents never married. So the guild of the magistrates and notaries would not accept da Vinci as an apprentice. Instead, his father had to look for another profession for him. As a young child, da Vinci showed a talent for drawing. So his father sent him to Florence to become an apprentice to the famous artist, Andrea del Verrocchio. And that is where the road to superstardom began for da Vinci. ③ Da Vinci was continually striving to improve and perfect his work and the world around him. Along the path to becoming a superstar, da Vinci came into contact with many different types of people. They played important roles in his life as he developed not only as an artist but also as a scientist and inventor. 生词好句 1.every now and then 时不时；每隔一段时间（at times） 拓展: 词义辨析： at times 通常用在句子最末尾 every now and then 通常放在句首 I like her even though she can be annoying at times.
