_____that the girl with an incurable disease would die soon, the boy decided to help her make her last days beautiful and meaningful.

Throughout the ages, man has tried to create beauty through painting, music, sculpture(雕刻) and other kinds of artistic expression. It seems to be a basic need for humans to surround themselves with art. Some people, however, feel that the government is wasting money by spending it on art, particularly when there are so many other more important things that the money can be used for.

It can be wrong for governments to spend large sums of money on art. Too often, governments spend the money unwisely. Cities end up with huge statues or expensive, empty buildings that are only used by a few people. Many times, the art is also chosen to represent social or political

rather than artistic ideas, and even if it represents artistic ideas, tastes in art can change very rapidly. Without thinking carefully about how to spend the money, the people may end up                                                                        with an expensive collection of worthless paintings of tasteless productions.

At the same time it would be wrong to say that governments should not spend any money at all on art. Painters, musicians, and composers cannot survive without monetary support. Many times, the art is inaccessible (很难到的) to ordinary people because only rich people and large companies can afford it. Governments have a duty to make this art available to everyone. Art helps people enjoy life,

Although people do need to be provided with the necessities of life, governments also have a duty to provide their citizens with something more. I firmly believe that spending money on art is vital (必不可少的) part of a government’s responsibility, and I am confident that my country is able to contribute a great deal to the rich collection of art from around passage?

45. What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?

A. Why tastes in art change so rapidly.       

B. The importance of art to human beings.

C. Humans’ need to be surrounded by art.

D. Whether or not the government should spend money on art.

46. The following are reasons why governments spend too much money on arts EXCEPT that _____.

A. art is changing with time rapidly          

B. they choose art to serve political purpose

C. they don’t think carefully enough about what to buy

D. art is necessary for the life of poor people

47. The underlined word “monetary” in the third paragraph probably means“_____”.

A. political          B. financial            C. temporary(临时的)          D. continuous

48. According to the author, what is the function of art?

A. Art can be very valuable when it is traded.    B. Art makes people’s lives worthwhile.

C. Art can unite governments.                      D. Art can make governments fashionable.

Why I Don’t Spare “Spare Change”

“Poor but honest. ” “The deserving poor.” These words always come to my mind when I think of “the poor”. But I also think of people who, perhaps through alcohol or drugs, have ruined not only their own lives but also the lives of others in order to give way to their own pleasure. Perhaps alcoholism and drug addiction really are “diseases”, as many people say, but my own feeling－ based, of course, not on any serious study－is that most alcoholics and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving poor”. And that is largely why I don’t give spare change to beggars.

But surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called “deserving”. Deserving what? My spare change? Or simply the government’s assistance? It happens that I have been brought up to believe that it is proper to make contributions to charity（慈善机构）, but if I give some change to a beggar, am I making a contribution to charity and thereby helping someone, or, am I perhaps simply encouraging someone not to get help? Or, maybe even worse, am I supporting a cheat?

If one believes in the value of private charity, one can either give to needy people or to charitable organizations. In giving to a beggar one may indeed be helping a person who badly needs help, but one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy person. In giving to an organization, on the other hand, one can feel that one’s money is likely to be used wisely. True, facing a beggar one may feel that this particular unfortunate person needs help at this moment－a cup of coffee or a sandwich－and the need will not be met unless I put my hand in my pocket right now. But I have come to think that the beggars whom I meet can get along without my spare change, and indeed perhaps they are actually better off for not having money to buy alcohol or drugs.

I know nothing about these beggars, but it’s my impression that they simply prefer begging to working. I am not generalizing about street people. I am talking about the people whom I actually meet. That’s why I do not give “spare change”, and I don’t think I will in the future.

53. What does the author think of beggars who take drugs?

A. They should be given a check-up.            B. They really need money to live.

C. They have no pleasure in life.                  D. They are not worth helping.

54. Why doesn’t the author give money to street people?

A. He doesn’t think they need help.            

B. He doesn’t have enough money to give.

C. He is not convinced they will use it rightly.    

D. He believes they can get help from the government.

55. In the second paragraph, the author presents his idea by_____.

A. asking questions for people to think about     B. giving examples to support his argument

C. raising questions and answering them               D. expressing his opinions directly

56. Which of the following opinions does the author accept?

A. Drug addiction is a disease.                   

B. Some street people are poor and needy.

C. Most beggars have received enough help.

D. Charitable organizations handle money properly.
