21、Nowadays many museums around the world celebrate Slow Art Day in order to encourage their visitors to take their time and appreciate art more deeply.

In the world full of games, apps and funny videos, people spend less and less time on things. Research has shown that on average（平均来看）, people spend less than one minute on one work of art. The Internet has millions of websites, so you might expect people to slow down when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you are wrong.

In recent years, museums have been working to change the situation. Over 170 museums around the world celebrate Slow Art Day. They ask their visitors to spend at least 5 to 10 minutes looking at just one work of art.

Slow Art supporters（支持者）believe that when visitors spend more time looking at a work of art, they enjoy it more. By spending time, they are able to notice more things about the work of art. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work. Most museums taking part in Slow Art Day choose just a few works for their visitors. In their opinion, when people visit a museum with lots of works of art, they feel like they must see everything in the museum. They go around like they are checking things off of a list. As one expert said, “You can’t really see a painting as you’re walking by it.”

C．需要

D．生产

【2】What can we infer from the last sentence in Paragraph 2?

A．It’s difficult for people to choose a museum to visit.

22、   I was on a vacation on Star Island. But things were different this year. I was in a wheelchair. My legs couldn’t move because of a rock—climbing accident last summer. Angry and frustrated (沮丧) to walk or climb, I stayed in my room until my grandma said, “Find another topic, Ben.” I wheeled off to finish a photography project for school. In fact, I’d enjoy it if I wasn’t so unhappy.

Near the hotel, I met an older couple, Susan and Mark. They showed me how to use their kayak (皮划艇) and helped to let me borrow it. They kindly lifted me in and kept their eyes on me as I tried to paddle toward the headland. I experienced a sense of excitement. I felt one with the water. It was almost the same feeling I used to have while I was climbing a rock on the island. This was the same island, but from the water it seemed new. I was sorry that I had left my camera back on my wheelchair with Susan. Mark said she would take photos for us. Then he started down to the beach. I paddle toward him, keeping the boat across the water as Susan suggested. At last, Mark and Susan easily helped me into the wheelchair.

On the following days, I practiced with Mark or Susan. I took my camera out on a calm day and took pictures of rocks and birds. When I got home, I went right to my computer. I hoped that I would find something to use to finish the project. For the first photo, it seemed empty but an empty wheelchair. Then I found the kayak on the water. It really was me, moving on with the spirit flying away from the wheelchair.

The island had worked on my spirit! I had forgotten about the accident and I am happy again.
