In Mark Turin’s article“Protecting Our Public Spaces” in issue 14,he claims that “all graffiti (涂鸦) is vandalism (故意破坏财物的行为),pure and simple,and offers no benefit to our public spaces”.I would like to point out that many people believe that graffiti is an art form that can benefit our public spaces just as much as sculptures,fountains,or other more accepted art forms.
People who object to graffiti usually do so more because of where it is,not what it is.They argue that posting graffiti in public places is considered an illegal act of property damage.But the location of such graffiti should not prevent the images themselves from being considered real art.
I would argue that graffiti is the most important public art form.Spray paint is a medium unlike any other.Through graffiti,the entire world has become a canvas (画布).These works of art dotting the urban landscape are available,free of charge,to everyone who passes by.
To be clear,I do not consider random words or names sprayed on stop signs to be art.Plenty of graffiti is just vandalism,pure and simple.However,there is also graffiti that is breathtaking in its complex detail,its realism,or its creativity.It takes great talent to create such involved designs with spray paint.Are these creators not artists just because they use a can of spray paint instead of a paintbrush
To declare that all graffiti is vandalism,and nothing more,is an overly simplistic statement.Furthermore,graffiti is not going anywhere,so we might as well find a way to live with it and enjoy its benefits.One option could be to make a percentage of public spaces open to graffiti artists.By doing this,the public might feel like part owners of these works of art,rather than just the victims of a crime.
1.Mark Turin apparently believes that graffiti .
A.is not an art form
B.is too simple to be considered art
C.can only sometimes be considered a work of art
D.should be restricted to places where it is allowed
2.The author argues that graffiti .
A.is the only art form that is free
B.is best viewed on public walls rather than canvases
C.provides more public benefits than sculptures do
D.should be judged on artistic qualities rather than places
3.The author concludes his passage by .
A.restating his position
B.questioning the magazine
C.offering an answer to the matter
D.identifying the benefits of graffiti

George’s mother was very poor and was sick.Instead of having bright fires in winter,she had nothing to burn but dry sticks,which George picked up from under the trees.
One fine day in July,his sick mother sent him to the woods.He was to stay there all day,to get as much wood as he could collect.
It was a bright,sunny day,and George worked very hard,so by the time the sun was high,he was hot,and wished for a cool place where he might rest and have his meal.While he hunted for a spot on the bank he saw among the grass some fine,wild strawberries.
“How good these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George.Lining his cap with leaves,he set to work eagerly to gather all he could find,and then seated himself by the river.
It was a pleasant place,and George felt happy and contented.He thought how much his sick mother would like to see him there,and to be there herself,instead of in her dark room in the village.
George thought of all this,and just as he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth,he said to himself,“How much Mum would like these!” So he stopped,and put the strawberry back again.
“Shall I save them for her ” he said,thinking how much they would refresh her,yet still looking at them with a longing eye.
“I will eat half,and take the other half to her,” he said at last,and he divided them into two heaps(堆).But each heap looked so small that he put them together again.
“I will only taste one,” he thought.As he again lifted it to his mouth,he saw that he had taken the finest and he put it back.“I will keep them all for her,” he said with great happiness,and he covered them up nicely to take them home.
Paragraph 1:
He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to sink.
Paragraph 2:
Just as he had thrown down his wood,he heard his mother calling him from the next room.

A Chinese Classical Music Concert
A Chinese classical music concert was held in the school hall on Saturday night.Many masterpieces of ancient musicians,such as High Mountain and Flowing Water and The Spring Snow,were played by a famous band.The students present felt the mountain,the water,the winter snow,the silk and bamboo and the endless call of life flowing in the air at the concert.
The concert was really popular with the students,especially those who love Chinese classical music.Many said that they would pass on the traditional music and look forward to the next music feast.

Paragraph 1:
He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to sink.George set out for home.He carried his cap filled with strawberries very carefully.How happy he felt then!He had all his strawberries for his sick mother.The nearer he came to his home,the less he wished to taste them.He arrived home before he knew it.
Paragraph 2:
Just as he had thrown down his wood,he heard his mother calling him from the next room.“Is that you,George I am glad you have come,for I am thirsty and I’m longing for some tea.Could you get some for me ” George ran to her and joyfully offered her all the wild strawberries.Seeing the wild strawberries,George’s mother was very glad,tears running down her face.She said,“My boy,you didn’t taste one of the strawberries and saved all for your sick mother.God will bless you for all this,my child.” At that moment,George and his mother were both filled with happiness.
