I was looking forward to a quiet view(看) of some great paintings of excellent artists.A young couple looking at the paintings in front of me were talking non-stop. I watched them a moment and decided she was doing all the talking. In fact, I was surprised at this man for putting up with her everlasting speech. Bored by their noise, I moved on. I met them several times as I moved through those rooms of art. Each time I heard her voice, I moved away at once. I was standing at the museum gift shop buying some cards when the couple walked to the exit(出口). “Hes a brave man,” said the shop assistant. “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. But he and his wife e in whenever theres a new art show.” It explained the non-stop talk! A sudden sense of shame came to my heart for what I was thinking just now. “But what does he get out of the art?” I asked.“His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”At that moment I realized what is patience, courage and love. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person who cant see and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness change his love towards art. And I felt the love shared by the two as I watched them walking away holding each others hands.1. How did the writer feel in the beginning when hearing the womans talking?A. SurprisedB. BoredC.

We are living in the time of garbage(垃圾), says Schult. I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselves. Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. They are social sculptures, he explains. They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage. So far, Schults social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscows Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo. HA Schults work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains humble(谦虚的) about his creations: Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that is important is the time in which we are living.Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why cant mon people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art? Maybe its because we all have our own preset(预先设置的) ideas of what art is and isnt, or who artists are or should be. You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them? Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing?
