Text 1

The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by

Damien Hirst,Beautiful Inside My Head Forever,at Sotheby's in London on September 15th 2008.All but twopieces sold,fetching more than 70m,a record for a sale by a single artist.It was a last victory.As theauctioneer called out bids,in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street,Lehman Brothers,filed forbankruptcy.

The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003.

At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion,reckons Clare McAndrew,founder of Arts Economics,aresearch firm-double the figure five years earlier.Since then it may have come down to $50 billion.But themarket generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth,enormous egos,greed,passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries.

In the weeks and months that followed Mr.Hirst's sale,spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable.

In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms.Sales of contemporary art fellby two-thirds,and in the most overheated sector,they were down by nearly 90%in the year to November 2008.

Within weeks the world's two biggest auction houses,Sotheby's and Christie's,had to pay out nearly $200min guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them.

The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionists at theend of 1989.This time experts reckon that prices are about 40%down on their peak on average,though somehave been far more volatile.But Edward Dolman,Christie's chief executive,says:"I'm pretty confident we'reat the bottom.”

What makes this slump different from the last,he says,is that there are still buyers in the market.Almosteveryone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack ofdemand but a lack of good work to sell.The three Ds-death,debt and divorce-still deliver works of art to themarket.But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away,waiting for confidence to return.

21.In the first paragraph,Damien Hirst's sale was referred to as"a last victory"because[A]the art market hadwitnessed a succession of victories[B]the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bids[C]Beautiful Inside My Head Forever won over all masterpieces[D]it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis

22.By saying"spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable"(Para.3),the author suggests that.[A]collectors were no longer actively involved in art-market auctions[B]people stopped every kind of spending and stayed away from galleries[C]art collection as a fashion had lost its appeal to a great extent

[D]works of art in general had gone out of fashion so they were not worth buying

23.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

[A]Sales of contemporary art fell dramatically from 2007 to 2008.[B]The art market surpassed many other industries in momentum.[C]The market generally went downward in various ways.[D]Some art dealers were awaiting better chances to come.

24.The three Ds mentioned in the last paragraph are[A]auction houses'favorites[B]contemporary trends

[C]factors promoting artwork circulation[D]styles representing impressionists

25.The most appropriate title for this text could be[A]Fluctuation of Art Prices[B]Up-to-date Art Auctions[C]Art Market in Decline

D Shifted Interest in Arts

I was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living room-a women's group that had invitedmen to join them.Throughout the evening,one man had been particularly talkative,frequently offering ideasand anecdotes,while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch.Toward the end of the evening,I commentedthat women frequently complain that their husbands don't talk to them.This man quickly concurred.Hegestured toward his wife and said,"She's the talker in our family."The room burst into laughter;the manlooked puzzled and hurt."It's true,"he explained."When I come home from work I have nothing to say.If shedidn't keep the conversation going,we'd spend the whole evening in silence."

This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more than women in publicsituations,they often talk less at home.And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage.

The pattern was observed by political scientist Andrew Hacker in the late 1970s.Sociologist Catherine

Kohler Riessman reports in her new book Divorce Talk that most of the women she interviewed-but only a fewof the men-gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces.Given the current divorce rate ofnearly 50 percent,that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every yeara virtual epidemic of failed

conversation.

In my own research,complaints from women about their husbands most often focused not on tangibleinequities such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his,or doing far more thantheir share of daily life-support work like cleaning,cooking and social arrangements.Instead,they focused oncommunication:"He doesn't listen to me.""He doesn't talk to me."I found,as Hacker observed years before,that most wives want their husbands to be,first and foremost,conversational partners,but few husbands sharethis expectation of their wives.

In short,the image that best represents the current crisis is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sittingat the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face while a woman glares at the back of itwanting to talk.

26.What is most wives'main expectation of their husbands?[A]Talking to them.

B Trusting them

[C]Supporting their careers.[D]Sharing housework.

27.Judging from the context,the phrase "wreaking havoc"(Para.2)most probably means[A]generating motivation[B]exerting influence[C]causing damage[D]creating pressure

28.All of the following are true EXCEPT

[A]men tend to talk more in public than women

[B]nearly 50 percent of recent divorces are caused by failed conversation[C]women attach much importance to communication between couples[D]a female tends to be more talkative at home than her spouse

29.Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of this text?[A]The moral decaying deserves more research by sociologists.[B]Marriage break-up stems from sex inequalities.

[C]Husband and wife have different expectations from their marriage.[D]Conversational patterns between man and wife are different.

30.In the following part immediately after this text,the author will most probably focus on[A]a vivid account of the new book Divorce Talk[B]a detailed description of the stereotypical cartoon

Over the past decade,many companies had perfected the art of creating automatic behaviors-habits-among consumers.These habits have helped companies earn billions of dollars when customers eat snacks,apply lotions and wipe counters almost without thinking,often in response to a carefully designed set of dailycues.

"There are fundamental public health problems,like hand washing with soap,that remain killers onlybecause we can't figure out how to change people's habits,"Dr.Curtis said,the director of the Hygiene Centerat the London School of Hygiene&Tropical Medicine."We wanted to learn from private industry how to createnew behaviors that happen automatically."

The companies that Dr.Curtis turned to-Procter Gamble,Colgate-Palmolive and Unilever-hadinvested hundreds of millions of dollars finding the subtle cues in consumers'lives that corporations could useto introduce new routines.

If you look hard enough,you'll find that many of the products we use every day-chewing gums,skinmoisturizers,disinfecting wipes,air fresheners,water purifiers,health snacks,antiperspirants,colognes,teethwhiteners,fabric softeners,vitamins-are results of manufactured habits.A century ago,few people regularlybrushed their teeth multiple times a day.Today,because of canny advertising and public health campaigns,many Americans habitually give their pearly whites a cavity-preventing scrub twice a day,often with Colgate,

Crest or one of the other brands.

A few decades ago,many people didn't drink water outside of a meal.Then beverage companies startedbottling the production of far-off springs,and now office workers unthinkingly sip bottled water all day long.

Chewing gum,once bought primarily by adolescent boys,is now featured in commercials as a breath freshenerand teeth cleanser for use after a meal.Skin moisturizers are advertised as part of morning beauty rituals,slippedin between hair brushing and putting on makeup.

"Our products succeed when they become part of daily or weekly patterns,"said Carol Berning,aconsumer psychologist who recently retired from Procter Gamble,the company that sold $76 billion of Tide,

Crest and other products last year."Creating positive habits is a huge part of improving our consumers'lives,and it's essential to making new products commercially viable."

Through experiments and observation,social scientists like Dr.Berning have learned that there is power intying certain behaviors to habitual cues through relentless advertising.As this new science of habit has emerged,controversies have erupted when the tactics have been used to sell questionable beauty creams or unhealthyfoods.

31.According to Dr.Curtis,habits like hand washing with soap[A]should be further cultivated[B]should be changed gradually[C]are deeply rooted in history
