Dutch Forger May Go To Prison

German police have just arrested Dutch artist Andreas Van den Berg in Hamburg for forgery. Yesterday he sold a Rembrandt copy to a Berlin art dealer for 4,3 million euros. Van den Berg is Dutch but was born in Hamburg and has lived there all his life. His father was the famous painter Lucas Van den Berg, and his son has learnt a lot from him. He has been an outstanding painter for many years and could copy different styles of paintings since he was twelve years old; he could do everything from Rembrandt to Andy Warhol. Three years ago Hermann Schneider saw Van der Berg in a Hamburg bar. 'It was very strange, he didn't know any of the customers in the bar but he bought lunch for everybody.' I really couldn't understand it – he was only seventeen and he had a lot of money. I've been very interested in Andreas Van den Berg since that day.' A week ago Van den Berg went to an art gallery with a Rembrandt painting. Schneider followed him and waited for a quarter of an hour. Then Van den Berg left with a big suitcase and ran quickly into a bus station. The owner of the gallery told Schneider that the painting was just a cheap imitation. Schneider arrested Van den Berg at his office a few hours later. Van den Berg was only arrested yesterday, but his wife has already spoken to Die Welt.

Message in the Bottle

More than 110 years ago a young woman named Sofia Nielsen was walking (1)     [in, on, at] the seaside of the North Sea. (2)         [When, While, During] the trip she got a crazy idea. She wrote a message, put it in a green bottle and threw the bottle into the North Sea. What she didn't know is that the bottle would survive (3)         [so, too, enough]long. Last week, a Danish fisherman found Nielsen's bottle when he was on his every day fishing trip. He carried it to a museum.

The historians there discovered that it's the (4)         [oldest, old, older] message in the bottle in the world! They also found Nielsen's grandson, Malthe, (5)        [who, which, what] is now 72 years old. He lives in Copenhagen and never (6)          [meets, met, meeting] his grandmother who died in 1940. What did the bottle contain? Well, there was a letter inside. Nielsen asked the finder to return (7)       [them, it, its] to his home address in Copenhagen. They couldn't read the rest of the message (8)       [Some, Any, A]water got inside and damaged the ink. But it didn't stop the specialists. They're trying to figure out the entire message and hope it'll be possible to read it soon.
