????????Jean Shin makes sculptures that change everyday objects into thoughtful and beautiful works of art. Shin makes art from broken umbrellas, old clothing or computer parts. Her show Common Threads is currently on display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. ???? One of the first works in the Common Threads exhibit looks like glowing orange cave formations coming out of the floor and ceiling. As you move closer to the sculptures, you realize they are made up of thousands of carefully stacked (成叠的) small plastic bottles for storing medicines. Jean Shin made this work, Chemical Balance, by gathering the bottles from friends, family and retirement communities. She has said the work is like a group portrait that maps a society’s chemical use. Like much of Shin’s art, this work is both about individuals and large groups of people. Each personal object once belonged to an individual, but it takes a large community of such individuals to make Shin’s art possible. ???? Chance City is made up of more than thirty-two thou-sand dollars worth of old lottery tickets. People buy the tickets in hopes of winning large amounts of money. Shin collected the tickets in New York City and Washington, D.C. over a period of three years. The small pieces of paper are carefully stacked to create buildings. The sculptures were made without the use of supports, so they can’t stand forever and may __________. The work makes a statement about the unsure nature of money and chance. ???? Shin’s latest work is called Everyday Monuments. It is made of almost two thousand sports awards called trophies(奖品). The people who received the trophies donated them to the artist. Shin changed the human forms on every trophy so that each is doing an everyday act like cleaning, driving or carrying shopping bags. The sculpture was influenced by the many large monuments in Washington which honor important heroes.

( One possible version) ???? I like music and I think most people like it as much as I do. While most of people nowadays like modern music such as rock and pop music, I like listening to classical music. For many people, they find classical music boring to listen. However, I think classical music is serious and can make people inspired. Unlike modern music, most of the classical music can last long. Every time I feel tired or anxious, classical music helps me calm down. Music plays an important part in my life. Music makes my life more colorful and gives me a lot entertainment. Most of all, it makes me refreshed. If there were no music in the world, it would really be a boring and dull place!
