The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago. Modern graffiti （涂鴉） seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s， and by the late sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s， when people began writing their names， or “tags （標(biāo)簽）”， on buildings all over the city.

In the early days， the “taggers” were young street men who were trying to mark their space. They worked in groups and called what they did “writing”—the word “graffiti” was first used by The New York Times and the writer Norman Mailer. Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time that it began to be considered as an art form， John Lindsay， the then mayor of New York， declared （宣告） the first war on graffiti. By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught and instead many of the graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings.

The argument over whether graffiti is art is still going on. Peter Vallone， a New York City councillor， thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art， but if it is on someone elses buildings it becomes a crime. On the other hand， Felix， a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City， says that graffiti shows freedom and makes cities livelier.

Graffiti is now sometimes big business. The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have become internationally famous by producing works which often make humorous points. Works by Banksy have been sold for over ?100，000.

In the US， tornadoes （龍卷風(fēng)） are responsible for 80 deaths and more than 1，500 injuries each year. Although they happen quite frequently， tornadoes are difficult to predict. Why？ Tornadoes develop from storms， but only some storms are likely to become tornadoes. Scientists dont know where and when a storm will touch the ground and turn into a tornado. Today， the warning time for a tornado is usually just 13 minutes.

Time Samaras is a storm chaser. His job is to find tornadoes and follow them. When he gets close to a tornado， he puts a special tool called a turtle probe on the ground. This tool measures things like a tornados temperature， humidity （濕度）， and wind speed. With this information， Samaras can learn what causes tornadoes to develop. If meteorologists understand this， they can warn people about tornadoes sooner and save lives.

How does Samaras hunt tornadoes？ Its not easy. First， he has to find one. Tornadoes are too small to see using weather satellites. So Samaras cant rely on these tools to find a tornado. Instead， he waits for tornadoes to develop. Every May and June， Samaras drivers about 40，000 kilometers across an area known as Tornado Alley， looking and hoping to spot a tornado.

Once Samaras sees a tornado， the chase begins. But a tornado is hard to follow. Some tornadoes change direction several times—for example， moving east and then west and then east again. When Samaras finally gets near a tornado， he puts the turtle probe on the ground. Being this close to a tornado is terrifying. Debris is flying in the air. Then wind is blowing at high speed. He must get away quickly.

The work is risky， even for a skilled chaser like Samaras. But danger wont stop his hunt for the perfect storm.

5. What do we know about tornadoes from Paragraph 1？

A. They can be predicted by satellites.

B. They usually come down in winter.

C. They often develop into storms.

D. They can be warned in a very short time.

Throughout the history of the arts， the nature of creativity has remained constant （不變的） to artists. No matter what objects they select， artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change—to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.

Landscape is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie， one of the new American realists， continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole， a romanticist， had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature， Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings， there is no particular change in emotions， and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eyes and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.

Besides， all art begs the age-old question： What is real？ Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects， the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes， and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up， understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.

Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present， Eastern or Western， the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art， and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.

Exploring with Picasso

與畢加索并肩探索

Picassos mother said that the first word he uttered was “pencil”. One story tells that he started to draw before he learned to say any words at all. He was interested in drawing， painting， and sculpturing from the time he was a small boy in Spain. Picasso was an inventor and explorer. However， he didnt invent machines or explore strange places. He explored and experimented with art. He was always able to work anywhere or anytime， day and night. He carved a figure from the nearest stick of wood， painted with his fingers， made drawings with a rusty nail， and even made a bulls head from the handlebars and seat of a bicycle. Picasso painted Spanish fighting bulls， horse races and clowns. He painted people and animals as they are. He also invented a kind of art called cubism， which is made up of simple shapes like squares or cubes. If you look closely at the picture named Three Musicians， youll see not only shapes but also three men. What other things can you find in the picture？ Picasso explored the world of art and discovered new ways of looking at our world.

畢加索的母親說，“鉛筆”是畢加索會(huì)說的第一個(gè)詞。有一個(gè)故事說的就是他還沒有學(xué)會(huì)說話就開始畫畫了。當(dāng)他生活在西班牙還是個(gè)小男孩的時(shí)候，他就對(duì)素描、繪畫和雕塑產(chǎn)生了興趣。畢加索是一個(gè)發(fā)明家，也是一個(gè)探索者?？伤⑽窗l(fā)明任何機(jī)器，也沒有到任何奇異的地方探險(xiǎn)。他是藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域的探索者和實(shí)驗(yàn)者。他可以不分晝夜地在任何地點(diǎn)工作。他用手邊的木棍雕塑，用手指作畫，用生銹的鐵釘畫素描，甚至用自行車的車把和車座做了一個(gè)牛頭。畢加索描繪西班牙斗牛、賽馬和小丑。他用真實(shí)的手法勾勒人和動(dòng)物。他還創(chuàng)造了一種叫作立體派的藝術(shù)，運(yùn)用正方形或立方體等簡(jiǎn)單的形狀表現(xiàn)物體。如果你仔細(xì)觀察他的畫作《三個(gè)音樂家》——你不僅能看到各種形狀，還能看到三個(gè)人。在畫中你還能發(fā)現(xiàn)什么呢？畢加索在藝術(shù)的世界中探索，并發(fā)現(xiàn)了觀察我們這個(gè)世界的新方法。
