Many things make people think artists are weird. But the weirdest may be this: artists' only job is to explore emotions, and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.

This wasn't always so. The earliest forms of art, like painting and music, are those best suited for expressing joy. But somewhere from the 19th century, more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless, phony or, worst of all, boring, as we went from Wordsworth's daffodils to Baudelaire's flowers of evil.

You could argue that art became more skeptical of happiness because modern times have seen so much misery. But it's not as if earlier times didn't know perpetual war, disaster and the massacre of innocents. The reason, in fact, may be just the opposite: there is too much damn happiness in the world today.

Of all the components of a good night’s sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control. In dreams, a window opens into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak. A century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears; by the late 1970s, neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just “mental noise”—the random byproducts of the neural-repair work that goes on during sleep. Now researchers suspect that dreams a re part of the mind’s emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is “off-line。” And one leading authority says that, these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better. “It’s your dream,” says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of psychology at Chicago’s Medical Center. “If you don’t like it, change it。”

英语真题阅读理解试题及名师解析（21）　When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn’t biting hernails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn’t cutting,filling or polishing as many nails as she’d like to, either. Mostof her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtimecustomers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softeningeconomy. “I’m a good economic indicator,” she says. “I provide aservice that people can do without when they’re concerned aboutsaving some dollars.” So Spero is downscaling, shopping atmiddle-brow Dillard’s department store near her suburban Clevelandhome, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don’t know if other clients aregoing to abandon me, too” she says. Even before Alan Greenspan’s admission that America’s red-hoteconomy is cooling, lots of working folks had already seen signs ofthe slowdown themselves. From car dealerships to Gap outlets, saleshave been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. Forretailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenuebetween Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is comingat a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7percent from last year’s pace. But don’t sound any alarms just yet.Consumers seem only mildly concerned, not panicked, and many saythey remain optimistic about the economy’s long-term prospects,even as they do some modest belt-tightening. Consumers say they’re not in despair because, despite thedreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. Homeprices are holding steady in most regions. In Manhattan, “there’s anew gold rush happening in the $4 million to $10 million range,predominantly fed by Wall Street bonuses,” says broker BarbaraCorcoran. In San Francisco, prices are still rising even asfrenzied overbidding quiets. “Instead of 20 to 30 offers, now maybeyou only get two or three,” says john Tealdi, a Bay Areareal-estate broker. And most folks still feel pretty comfortableabout their ability to find and keep a job. Many folks see silver linings to this slowdown. Potential homebuyers would cheer for lower interest rates. Employers wouldn’tmind a little fewer bubbles in the job market. Many consumers seemto have been influenced by stock-market swings, which investors nowview as a necessary ingredient to a sustained boom. Diners mightsee an upside, too. Getting a table at Manhattan’s hot new AlainDucasse restaurant need to be impossible. Not anymore. For that,Greenspan & Co. may still be worth toasting. 31. By “Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet” (Line 1,Paragraph 1), the author means [A] Spero can hardly maintain her business. [B] Spero is too much engaged in her work.

Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might even be outraged. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human”，with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance. But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well。

The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, co-cooperative creatures, and they share their food readily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “good and services” than males。

Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one industry－William Shakespeare－but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches. There is the Royal Shakespeare pany (RSC)， which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who e, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, Shakespeare’s birthplace and the other sights。

The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly dislike the RSC’s actors, them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. It’s all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise -making。

When prehistoric man arrived in new parts of the world, something strange happened to the large animals: they suddenly became extinct. Smaller species survived. The large, slow-growing animals were easy game, and were quickly hunted to extinction. Now something similar could be happening in the oceans.

That the seas are being overfished has been known for years. What researchers such as Ransom Myers and Boris Worm have shown is just how fast things are changing. They have looked at half a century of data from fisheries around the world. Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass (the amount of living biological matter) of fish species in particular parts of the ocean, but rather changes in that biomass over time. According to their latest paper published in Nature, the biomass of large predators (animals that kill and eat other animals) in a new fishery is reduced on average by 80% within 15 years of the start of exploitation. In some long-fished areas, it has halved again since then。

In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century — most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719 —but nobody wanted to do it professionally.The steam powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy (识字) rate in England was under 50%.Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.” Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.

In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim — were held up as moral touchstones.Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged.Removing him from the pantheon (名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.
