However, participating in music-related activity can consume valuable time and undermine people’s performance in the workplace or at school. Learning musical instruments takes time, and people who are not musically gifted can use time in improving work-related skills. Music can be a distraction for people, who may stream music while working in the office or studying in the classroom. It is not easy to enjoy a hit song without letting this activity interfere with work or studies.

背景：来自其他城市或乡村的游客被城市的艺术特色所吸引，并愿意参观一些文化景点

解释（B-C ):他们在这些网站上的花费，以及他们在当地商店、餐馆和酒店的花费，不仅增加了当地政府

的税收，而且创造了更多的就业机会。

Investment in art can make a city more interesting and attractive, which can attract tourists and develop the local economy. Visitors from other cities or countries are fascinated with cities’artistic features, and willing to visit some cultural attractions, such as art galleries and museums. The money they spend on the access to these sites as well as the amount they spend in local shops, restaurants and hotels, not only increases the tax revenue of the local governments, but also creates more employment opportunities.

解释1 : ( B-C )欣赏艺术品（如雕塑、绘画和壁画等）可以让人心情愉悦，减轻压力。

解释2 : ( B-C )生活在一个艺术产业繁荣的城市，人们更加注重工作和私人生活的平衡。

拓展C :这有利于他们的情感健康。

The investment in art projects can lead to the proliferation of art galleries, which can enrich people’s cultural life.

Living in a city where the art industry flourishes, people pay more attention to the balance between work and private life. This is beneficial to their emotional well-being.

解释A-B :如果一个城市有许多视觉上吸弓|人的艺术品（如雕塑、纪念碑），当地居民就会逐渐对这些艺术 品的构成有一个很好的概念。

解释B-C :他们将学习不同颜色、图案、图像和线条，以提高鉴赏力。这些知识和艺术技能可以让他们 在职场上受益。

举例：如准备报告、设计网站、创建备忘录和设计演示文稿。

The expenditure on public art can also improve the visual literacy of the public, which can be applied

to work. If a city has numerous visually attractive sculptures, monuments and works of art, local residents will gradually develop a good idea of what constitutes artistically beautiful items. They will learn the functions of different colours, patterns, images and lines in improving the visual appeal of a physical object. This kind of knowledge can benefit them in the workplace, when they harness their artistic skills to prepare reports, design a website, create a memo and devise a presentation.

背景：艺术代表着一个国家的文化和历史，投资于保护各种艺术形式，特别是民间艺术，使后人有可能记 住他们国家的艺术成就。如果没有国家的支持，手工艺、纺织产品和饰品的艺术技能在未来可能会消失， 因为这些行业在年轻人中已经不受欢迎。

C拓展：对一个国家来说，失去这些艺术传统可能是一场悲剧，因为这些传统技能与一些人的认同感有关， 而艺术的多样性可以让一个社会保持趣味。

The investment in art can also help preserve rich cultural diversity. Art represents culture and history of a country, and the investment in the preservation of various art forms, especially folk art, makes it possible for future generations to remember the artistic achievements of their country. Without the support from the state, the artistic skills in making handicrafts, textile products and accessories would possibly die out in the future, as these trades have lost popularity among young people. The loss of these artistic traditions may be a tragedy for a country, as these traditional skills are a connection to the sense of identity of some people and the diversity of art can keep a society interesting.

背景：艺术是一种重要的表达形式，是一种人类通用的语言。

解释A-B :在很大程度上，艺术活动可以为不同地区、不同年龄、不同性别、不同种族的人们提供聚在一 起的机会。

举例1 :一些艺术中心有时会举办展览，展示本地艺术爰好者的作品，并吸引社区成员。

举例2 :共同制作艺术品也是一种非常棒的亲子活动。

解释B-C :通过这些聚在一起的机会，增加彼此的了解和交流。

Art activities can bring people together and act as talking points. Art is an important form of expression and a universal human language. In general, art activities can provide opportunities for people of different regions, ages, genders and races to gather together, thus providing people with the opportunity o know each other better. For example, some art centres sometimes organise exhibitions that show artworks of local art lovers and attract members of community. They gather to appreciate the works of art, and exchange views in seminars and meetings. Making artworks together also makes an extraordinary parent-child activity, and parents can gain an insight into the thinking of children by artworks. This can benefit the bonding of members of family.

经济A政府对艺术投资B花费大C影响城市的发展

背景：政府的预算是有限的。

解释（B-C ):在艺术上的花费可以分配给其他行业。在人们难以维持基本生活水平的社区，他们会呼吁政府优先提供公共交通、医疗和教育。如果人们要花很多钱在这些服务上，他们的可 支配收入减少，消费力减少会影响经济的发展。

Although the governments’ investment in art can help better meet people’s spiritual needs, it can be costly and present obstacles to the development of a city. The government budget is limited, and the spending on art can use up the money which can otherwise be allocated to other industries and public services. In communities where people struggle with a basic standard of living, they would call on the state to prioritise the provision of public transport, healthcare and education. They would not support the funding for art, which is regarded as a luxury. The expenditure on education and medicla care can reduce disposable income, and lower consumer spending can undermine economic growth.

背景：历史单调的重复，有很多永恒的规则 举例：2018年的经济危机告诉我们不要舌L花钱

举例2 :当我们不知道经济危机持续多久，历史告诉我们经济危机之后总会复苏和腾飞

Learning history enables us to draw upon the experiences of the past and helps us avoid mistakes. History always repeats itself, and there are some timeless rules we can follow to handle similar problems. For example, when we borrow money from banks to buy luxuries, we need to bear in mind the risk of overspending-one habit linked to the financial crisis in 2018. Likewise, when we are anxious about the lasting impact of an economic slowdown, economists may suggest that in history, every economic downturn is followed by a recovery and a boom. In other words, history can give us guidance when making important decisions and allay our fear.

背景：不同的人对历史事件的描述不同，体现了政见和价值观 解释（A-B ):人们会思考为什么会有这么一些不同 解释（B-C ):最后看信息会比较谨慎，有批判性

Learning history will help individuals improve their critical thinking skills. Historians have different accounts of historic events, showing differences in value systems, political opinions and attitudes. People who read history books and watch documentaries will be curious about sometimes contrasting views about the same historical figure. This is how they gradually realise history books do not invariably reflect facts, and in many cases, these books simply show the views of authors. They will become critical of the information they receive.

解释：历史和文化息息相关。一个国家早期的发展决定了某些传统的进化 举例：某些国家的主食里有海鲜，主要是因为渔业是它们主要的收入来源

The study of history can increase awareness of cultural roots and enhance a sense of cultural identity. A country’s culture is intertwined with its history. The development of a country in early stages determines the evolution of some traditions, such as cuisine, the main livelihoods, ways of dressing and crafts. For example, seafood remains an intergral part of the diet of families in some countries such as Japan, in large part due to the fact that fishing used to a primary source of income for these nations. Young people who have a good understanding of the historical development of their country will make a conscious effort to keep their traditions alive.

解释（背景）：世界不断改变，历史事件学到的知识和规则未必管用

举例：某些不道德的商业做法可以帮助某些人赚钱，但是因为法律和网络科技的发展，公司会在网络上因为不道德或者不合法的行为被批评或者惩罚

Learning history can be a waste of time, since it may not have relevance to modern life. The world is changing constantly, and the rules and empirical knowledge learned from historical events are possibly not applicable in today’s world. For example, in the past, some unethical business practices could help some businesspeople make money, but today, due to strict business laws and the Internet technology, companies can attract criticisms online and face punishment for immoral or illegal behaviour.

解释：教科书有意加入一些历史事件，但是没有说其他的，为了影响读者对过去事件的看法解释：当描述 —个事件的时候，教科书有很多论断，但是没有很多的证据 解释（B-C )亥会有错误的看法

manipulate the public/readers 操控读者

form misconceptions/ have some misconceived ideas 形成错误的观念

read textbooks 阅读教科书show the thoughts of politicians 体现政客的主张

History textbooks may sometimes be used by the government to manipulate the public. Textbooks may deliberately include some historical events but simply ignore others in order to distort readers’ views of what happened in the past. When recollecting a significant event in history, history books make some claims which are not supported by strong evidence. Students who read these books may have some mistaken ideas about history.

解释（A-B ):看文物，古代的艺术品 解释（A-B ):提供各种娱乐，包括游戏等

enrich cultural lives 丰富文化生活 historically important items/objects 具有历史重要性的物件 works of art/creative works 艺术品 improve visual literacy 提高视觉素养

Keeping public museums operating can enrich cultural lives. People take pride in the achievements of ancestors when seeing objects, artworks and antiques in museums. Some museums have also sought to provide different forms of entertainment, such as movies and interactive games, which allow people to learn about history in engaging ways.

解释（A-B ) : 了解历史、文化、重大的历史事件 解释（B-C ):收门票，卖一些纪念品，其他行业发展

tourist attraction 旅游景点 cultural attraction 文化景点 historical attraction 历史景点 Museums are sometimes important tourist attractions that can generate revenue for local communities. They charge admission fees and have gift shops that sell souveniors to make money. Some museums are meanwhile landmarks of a city, which are famous for architectural styles and famous monuments. Without these cultural attractions, some cities would fail to attract visitors.

解释（A-B ):专人去修补和维护易碎的文物

解释（B-C ):让人铭记历史，以自己祖先的成就为豪

preserve cultural heritage 保存文化遗产 repair fragile items/objects 修复易碎物件 a connection to thepast与过去的联系

Investing in museums can help preserve cultural relics and protect heritage. Museums hire professionals to repair and maintain fragile items. With government funding and donations made by

individual visitors, museums can amass collections, which are a vital connection to the past. Without organisations running for this purpose, historically significant items are possibly held by private collectors and cannot be preserved easily.

背景：不喜欢去博物馆，趣味不够，赚不了门票 背景：虚拟博物馆，可以网络上看 解释（A-B):请人去管理

Running a museum costs a large amount of money and some people may argue that this kind of expenditure is unnecessary. Museums sometimes fail to attract visitors, as there are other more interesting attractions, such as amusement parks. In this case, museums cannot break even easily. Additionally, some people prefer to go to virtual museums, which are free and open 24 hours a day. This is particularly the case when VR technology has developed to a point where viewing an exhibit at home is basically the same as looking at it personally in a real museum. Finally, museums need to hire staff for management and professionals to repair and restore fragile works of art.

解释：安保不好，被偷 解释：游客不小心、破坏

The management of the museums is another issue, and objects of cultural interest can be damaged or stolen due to poor management. If the security of museums cannot be guaranteed, some valuable items will be stolen. The exhibition of some ancient objects should be handled with care, as these items can be damaged easily when exposed to strong wind and lighting. It is not easy to reach a balance between displaying these items and protecting them.
