题目

阅读理解 Arun Kumar Bajaj has a very unusual skill — he can paint with a sewing machine （缝纫机）. Technically, it's embroidering, not painting, but his artworks are so detailed that they can pass as paintings to the untrained eyes. And the fact that he does it all with a sewing machine just makes that much more impressive. Arun was really good at drawing and painting while growing up and dreamed of becoming a famous painter, but his father died suddenly 15 years ago, which destroyed his plans and forced him to give up school in order to run the family business. His father was a tailor and he became one too, but he didn't let the artist in him die. He started "painting" with a needle and thread, but instead of using his hands, he decided on a rather unusual tool —the sewing machine. It took him a while to master this unique art form, but today he is recognized as the world's only sewing machine artist. His works become very popular both in India and abroad. It's easy to see why, just by looking at them, but what really makes his embroideries special is the tool he uses. "You need to be very careful because once you've stitched the cloth, there's no way you can repair it. " Arun said. "It's all done in a single layer to give the painting a neat look. " Some of Arun's most impressive works include a 4×2 feet painting of the court of Ranjit Singh, which took the artist over a year to finish.
