编辑点评： 很多参加GRE的考生在做GRE写作的时候都没有写提纲的习惯，这是非常不好的。提纲在GRE写作当中起到了至关重要的作用。从今天起，我们将对GRE issue进行分析，弄清写作思路，这样才能让GRE issue得高分。 When it comes to government subsides, such questions arise: Do the Arts actually need government funding? Does the national endowment for the arts really threaten the integrity of the arts? The debate on the merits of government funding of the arts is a hot issue. As far as I concerned, Government funding is hazardous to artistic health and integrity. Before discussion, we must define the integrity of the arts. I think it has two-fold meanings: First, it refers to the diversity of the arts. Second, it means that artists should have the independence and free creativity. Government support for the arts is inherently problematic. It breeds passivity,undermines the independent creative spirit. It makes artists shift the focus from creativity towards pleasing funding bodies. The importance of individual passion and creativity are undercut by the funding regime. And much more! It raises the question of official art, whether that art be the standard of the public, government officials, or a largely self-chosen art establishment. In the Netherlands, for example, the government guaranteed a market for the works of professional artists. If no one else would buy their work, the government paid them for it. This was commonly referred to as the Dutch treat . They had a huge warehouse full of art that wouldn t sell. This assured the survival of artists, but it also assured the creation of a lot of bad art. |
