 Art is a product of human activity, made with the intention of stimulating(刺激) human senses as well as human mind or spirit. Thus art is an action, an object, or a collection of ac?tions and objects created with the intention of expressing emotions or ideas. Beyond this descrip?tion，there is no general agreed-upon definition of art，since defining the boundaries of art is subjective, but the drive for art is often called human creativity.

  An artwork is normally recognized in quality by the amount of stimulation it brings about,the influence it has on people, the number of people that can relate to it,and so on. All come to the "degree of art". Most artworks that are widely considered to be "masterpieces" possess these features.

Something is not generally considered art when it has a different primary purpose. Howev?er,some contemporary art challenges this idea.

  As such，something can be considered art in general，or as an element of some object. For example，a painting may be a pure art，while a chair，though designed to be sat in，may include artistic elements. Art that has less functional value or intention may be referred to as fine art,while objects of artistic merit(价值) that serve a functional purpose may be referred to as craft-work(工艺 品) .

  In his article " Modernist Painting"，Clement Greenberg defined modern art as " the use of characteristic methods of a discipline(学科) to criticize the discipline itself".

  Though only originally intended as a way of understanding a specific set of artworks，this definition of modern art underlies most of the ideas of art within the various art movements of the twentieth century and early twenty-first century.

  Twenty years ago,I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to 1 a passenger at 2: 30 a.m. When I arrived to collect,I found the building was 2except for a single light in a ground floor window.

I walked to the door and 3   , "Just a minute," answered a weak, 4 voice.

  After a long 5 ，a small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.

  I took the suitcase to the 6 ，and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked 7 toward the car.

  She kept thanking me for my 8 . " It's nothing”，I told her. " I just try to treat my pas?sengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

  "Oh,you're such a good man," she said. When we got into the taxi,she gave me an  9， and then asked, " Could you drive through downtown?"

  "It's not the shortest 10   ，" I answered quickly.

  "Oh,I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice(收容所) .I don't have any family left.   The 11 says I don't have very long.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器) .

For the next two hours, we 12 through the city. She showed me the building which she had 13 worked in，the neighborhood where she had lived，and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone 14 as a girl.

  Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a(n) 15 building and would sit star?ing into the darkness, saying16

  At dawn, she suddenly said, "I，m 17 Let's go now.”

  We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

   "How much do I 18 you?" she asked.

  "Nothing. " I said.

  "You have to make a 19 ，" she answered. "Oh,there are other passengers," I an?swered.

  Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held on to me tightly. Our hug

ended with her 20 ， " You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

  Dogs are wonderful companions, but there're some breeds(品种) more challenging to live with and to train. Some breeds are not the best choices for new trainers or owners.

  However, if you compare the numerous breeds which are more difficult to train,you'll find differences of opinion, probably based on individual experiences with individual dogs. It's im?portant to remember differences in individual dogs. If you're a novice owner or trainer,talk to a good breeder or trainer. You may need to adjust your choice of dog or adjust your training meth?od. Here,re a few other points to consider：

  High-energy dogs can be a training challenge, especially if they don't have sufficient op?portunity to burn off that energy before training sessions.

  Don't assume that a dog is dumb just because they're a challenge to train. If you find the

right method and if you're realistic in setting your training goals, most dogs will be more than willing to learn,although it may take some longer to learn than others. Listing a particular breed as being difficult to train may lead owners to assume that their dog can't be trained or that their dog is somehow less intelligent.

  Some breeds were bred to work independently，and may not be interested in a lot of inter?action with their owners.

  Other breeds are so highly tuned into their particular skill that at times it's very hard for them to focus on anything else.

  Dogs bred to be vocal―guard dogs，dachshunds or hunting hounds―will be more difficult to be taught that barking is unacceptable.

  Finally，any dog breed can be a challenge to train if you are attempting to train for some?thing other than what they were bred to do or that they are physically able to do. Pugs and Bull?dogs probably won't do well with scent(嗅觉) work―their noses and brains aren't wired that way. Working dogs need jobs to do or you will never train them to stop destroying the house if you leave them for hours at a time. Don't adopt a dog simply because you like the breed;mak?ing sure your dog won't be a challenge to live with and to train is as much about selecting the right breed and the right individual for you,your lifestyle and training abilities.
