Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suf-fer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.
Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and to make their opinions count.
Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.
Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read abook that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That's the time it takes on the screen.
In the past, many young people().
A、knew the effects of war
B、went in for politics
C、liked to save the wounded in wars
D、were willing to be soldiers
Art seems to appear in human history as far back as 30,000 years ago. We say the earliest cave paintings are art, but what do we mean by art? A bone fish hook (钩) obviously required skill and creativity to make. _ 26__
For the person who crates it, art expresses feelings and ideas. _ 27 _.The feelings and ideas on each side may or may not be exactly the same. And they may be expressed in various ways.
An artistic work is intended to excite the senses, to stir (激发) the emotions of the observer. _ 28_. But art is more than an attempt by an individual to express or communicate feelings and ideas. There is also cultural patting and meaning
Artistic activities are always in part cultural. In our society, we tend to think that anything useful is not art. If the basket has a design that is not necessary to its function, we may consider tart. __29__ However, this difference is not made in other societies.
Another example is that people in different societies treat the outside of their houses differently. Most North. Americans share the value of decorating the inside of their homes with pictures. _ 30 _
So art seems to have several qualities. It expresses as well as communicates. And it also has cultural meanings.
A. But we do not call it art.
B. It may produce feelings of beauty, peace or fear.
C. For the observer, it stimulates feelings and ideas.
D. Art does not require its creators to be full-time specialists.
E. But the basket with bread on the table would probably not be taken as art.
F. But they do not share the value of painting pictures on the outside walls.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding of science.
Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.
Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the option of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, technology must be measured in terms of the human factor. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.
