Washington, D.C, has the National Gallery Of Art; Paris has the Lump; London, the British Museum. Florida international University (FlU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FlU has opened what it says is the first computer at museum in the United States. You don't have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone.You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the all is stored in the school computer. It is computer art produced electronically (通过电子手段) by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum., He says he Stabs the, museum because computer artistes had no place to show their work.A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records or floppy discs (软盘), to others to see on their computers. He could also pad his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser (激光) printer.Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students. At schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr. Shostak said the FlU museum would make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.l1.

Its old m eaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the Word has had many different meanings.“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anythingWhen you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It's cool.” You may think, ''He's so cool," when you see your favourite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool” You can use it instead of many words such as "new" or "surprising". Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the waterfall (as), they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, "I t’s so cool." Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word "cool"? I can. And I think they are also very cool.16.

But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits, and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another. So how do people in the business world show their superiority?An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films. They had two actors play the parts of an executive (经理) and a visitor, and switch roles each time. The scene had one man at his desk playing the pod of an executive, while the other, playing the part of a visitor, knocks at the door, opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter.The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status. A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings. The visitor showed the least amount of stains when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man. He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk, and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front of the seated executive.Another thing that affected the f Status of the visitor in the eyes f of the observers was the time between knocking and entering. For the seated executive, his status was also affected by the time betweenhearing the knock and answering. The quicker the visitor entered the room, the higher status he had. The longer the executive took to answer, the higher Status he had.21.

In the experiment one actor played the executive while the other played me seated man.C. Business people wear similar suits.D. The audience watching the film fated the executive and the visitor in t6rms of status.passage 4For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world's greatest dramatist (剧作家). Only -one name can- possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, .phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings that have become part of the common Property. of the English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used rather like the lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet .all complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.Shakespeare, more perhaps than mp other writer makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his Works used about twenty-five thousand.There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.26.
