There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art.Washington, D．C.has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Louvre; London has the British Museum.Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see.And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States.You don’t have to visit the University to see the art.You just need a computer linked to a telephone.
You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it.All of the art is stored in the school computer.It is computer art, produced electronically (采用电子手段) by artists in their own computers.In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
Robert Shostak is the director of the new computer museum.He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work.
A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs(软盘), to others to see on their computers.He could also put his pictures on paper.But to print good pictures in paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser(激光) printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities.Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students.Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it.He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an_audience.And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activities.It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing.It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf, or tennis; it may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion (热情，激情) for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

A college education is out of reach for most state and federal prisoners.California’s San Quentin is one of the few prisons in the country that offers collegelevel courses.
Jody Lewen has run the prison’ s college program for over a decade and she’s the reason that the Prison University Project exists today.When Lewen joined San Quentin’s college program in 1999 as a volunteer instructor, it was run by a small volunteer staff with no budget.At that time, she was a graduate student, with plans to return to academic research.But a year later, when the parttime director suddenly quit, Lewen found herself in charge.
Under Lewen’s leadership, the Prison University Project has expanded, now offering 20 classes in English, math, social science and Spanish.Three hundred prisoners enroll (入学) every year, earning college credits which can lead to an associate of arts degree.So far, 100 San Quentin prisoners have graduated with associate’s degrees and many more have continued their college studies after release.
“This experience really has changed my life.It’s given me a lot of tools on how to express myself，” says Charles Spence, who is serving a life sentence in San Quentin.“This program is really rare in the prison setting, so I’m really lucky.”
Research shows that the more education a prisoner has, the less likely he is to return to prison.Lewen says the chance for those with college degrees back into prison is less than 10 percent.
But the Prison University Project receives no government funding. Lewen would like to see college programs in every prison, but without government support, it’s not likely to happen any time soon.In the meantime, there’s a long waiting list of San Quentin prisoners who want to enroll in the college program.Some day, Lewen hopes to expand her program, making a college education available for most of prisoners at San Quentin.
()1.Which of the following is TRUE of the Prison University Project?
A.Jody Lewen founded it in 1999.
B.It was supported by the government.
C.Jody took charge of it quite accidentally.
D.It is performed in most prisons in the U．S.
()2.Jody Lewen joined in San Quentin’s college program to ________.
A．work as a volunteer teacher
B．be a parttime director
C．do some scientific research
D．earn her college credits
()3.According to the text, Charles Spence might be ________.
A．a graduate student
B．a San Quentin prisoner
C．a volunteer teacher
D．a prison manager
()4.The project is quite meaningful because________.
A．prisoners have equal rights of education
B．it doesn’t need support from the government
C．the society is more concerned about prisoners
D．it reduces the chance for prisoners back into prison
()5.We learn from the last paragraph that the problem for the Project is ________.
A.there are fewer and fewer volunteer teachers
B.more and more prisoners want to enroll
C.too many prisoners are housed at San Quentin
D.it lacks financial support from the government
