Art on tap

The Whitney Museum of American Art has settled into its new home. The building as well as its setting is exciting. Take the outdoor stairs rather than the lifts to enjoy views of the city. However, the art won’t be for everyone.

Their 2017 Biennial (exhibition) of contemporary American Art has just opened (until June 11). You can also see the exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern at Brooklyn Museum (until July 23). From June 12, the Museum of Modern Art will mark the 150th anniversary of architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s birth with an overview (综述) of his work.

I saw a example of kindness during the Special Olympic Games in 1968. Kim, a severe disabled boy, took part in the 50-meter dash. He was racing against two other athlete who were in wheelchairs. In the race, Kim quickly moved ahead the other two. Ten meters from the finish line, he has turned to see how the others were doing. The other boy was pushed forward with his hands. The girl had turned her wheelchair around, but he was stuck against the wall. Kim stopped, went back, but pushed the girl across the finish line. The boy in the wheelchair won the race, and the girl comes in second place. Kim lost the race. However, the crowd, included me, didn’t think so, so we all gave him a cheer for his kindness.

They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest cars.

In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.

According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings.

Finally, it just makes them greedier. "Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest," said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.

Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts (本能) and values in different ways.

A. link wealth with bad behavior

【3】Why did the scientists do the experiments?

A. To show how social status affects people's morality.

B. To show people's instincts and values in different ways.

C. To test whether the saying "money is the root of all evil" is true.

D. To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people.

【4】What does the passage really want to show us?

A. The poor are respectable.

B. Money is the root of all evil.

C. All rich people are untrustworthy.

D. The rich are more likely to act badly.

Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors ask one another, ‘How are you?’, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case." An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline "NOT DEAD YET."

Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock - holders sell off their Times stock.

The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.

【1】What can we learn about the New England Courant?

A. It is mainly about the stock market.

B. It carries articles by political leaders.

C. It marks the beginning of newspapers.

D. It remains a successful newspaper in America.

【2】What can we infer about the newspaper editors?

A. They often accept readers' suggestions.

B. They care a lot about each other's health.

C. They stop doing business with advertisers.

D. They face great difficulties in their business.

【3】Which of the following found a new way for its development?

A. The Washington Post. B. The Guardian.

C. The New York Times. D. New England Courant.

【4】How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?

A. Satisfied. B. Hopeful. C. Surprised. D. Worried.

Music is a universal language, which has the most powerful magic in the world. Music is a sweet language to show love to those who love us and those who 【1】(love) by us. Music is also a friendly language for unfamiliar people to show kindness. It is living everywhere and all the time in our daily life.

I learned this while【2】 (take) care of a seagull unfortunate enough to swallow a hook. After calling the wildlife rescue center and learning that all its【3】(vehicle) were out on other business, I carefully【4】 (wrap) (裹住)the wild bird in a towel and carried him to my friend’s car. The only way 【5】(keep) him calm was by singing. For 30 minutes, I sang【6】(soft) to the small creature until finally delivering(递送) him【7】those who could help. I’m not certain 【8】happened afterwards, but for that brief period, we two vastly different species connected, bridging 【9】 gap between us through songs.

【10】doesn’t matter whether there will be difficulties in communication，for love is always the theme of each piece of music.

Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our characters and values. It give us identity as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception(感知) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的) meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be humans. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
