Part One – Activity D – Task 2
Good morning everybody. I hope you all enjoyed our trip to the art muum last week。 Today we’re going to talk… uh… more about modern art。 We’ll … uh… take a look at some examples of public art—art you can only find outdoors… uh… in public places. I’ll explain the purpo of public art， and … uh… then I’ll describe some examples of public art that illustrate three common types of modern art： pop art， realism， and surrealism。
But first， public art… The days public art is becoming more and more popular。 Many business 呼叫转移设置方法

and city leaders are putting up art in public places in parks and gardens， near office buildings， and so on. Cities like to put art in public places for a couple of reasons. Um….first of all, art helps to make our cities look more beautiful and interesting. Also, when art is outdoors， many people can look at it and enjoy it every day; they don't have to go to a muum。 So having art in public places let more people enjoy art every day.
Now, I’m going to move on to some examples of public art. Here’s our first example-a silver spoon

It’s painted silver and bright red to look like a spoon with a red cherry on it。 The sculpture is a good example of pop art。 Pop artists like to make art that shows popular things- things people e in their everyday lives. This artist likes to take common objects, like food， and make them into huge sculptures。 So what do you think about it? Anyone？
Student1： I think it’s great！ It’s really unusual. I like it becau it’s simple and easy to understand.
Yes， that’s why many people like pop art。 Any other opinions? Yes… Mark？

Student2: Well, I think it’s OK， but I… I think art that is out in public should be something important， something that’s very beautiful or that means something。 It shouldn't just be just some everyday thing, like … a spoon。 电脑怎么换输入法
Interesting point。 So you can e that one problem with public art is that people interpret the purpo differently- they disagree about what it should look like or mean。 And some people may like or understand a piece of art， while other people may not like it at all.
As I already mentioned, one purpo of public art is to add beauty to public places where everyone can enjoy it。 But another purpo of art is to illustrate ideas or concepts – to show some kind of meaning。 Instead of using words， artists can nd messages through their art to people who e it. Sometimes， artists even u their art to promote their own beliefs。 To give you some examples， here are a couple of sculptures that were made to promote the concept of peace. The first one is a large-about sixteen—foot tall—metal sculpture that shows a young woman on a hor。 Notice how real and lifelike the features of the woman and the hor look. Becau they are so realistic， we call this style of art realism. But the woman in this sculpture is actually a symbol for peace。 So in this example, the art is realistic and symbolizes a concept – the concept of peace。 Any questions so far？ … OK， then。 Let’s take a look at another sculpture tha
t was made to promote the idea of peace。 It’s also made of metal and looks like a gun. It’s a little smaller than the first example. It’s about six feet wide and thirteen feet long-huge for a gun. It looks just like a gun， until you notice that it is tied into a knot at the end. We all know that it is impossible to tie a gun into a knot， right? And so, becau it’s impossible， this sculpture is a great example of surrealism。 Also， as you know， a gun itlf doesn’t symbolize peace. However， becau the gun is tied into a knot and can’t be fired， it illustrates the concept of peace。
And so， in the three examples， we can e how public art can be ud to make our cities more beautiful and interesting, and we can e how public art can communicate ideas or concepts to people。 Let’s take a break now, and when we come back we’ll look at some more examples of modern sculpture…

OK. What do you need to do in order to understand the lecture? And that’s probably the important question for you。 Now there are four things that I’m going to talk about。 The
first thing is that you need to be aware of all of the parts of the language that carry meaning。 Now you all know that words carry meaning. So words are obvious。 You’ve got to be aware of the vocabulary of the language, the words， but there are other features of the language that you need to be aware of. For one thing, you need to be aware of stress. Now the next thing that you might want to listen for is intonation. And finally body language. So when you listen you need to understand all the carriers of meaning in language.
persuasiveOK. The next thing you must do when you listen is when you listen you need to add information that the lecturer expects you to add。 All lecturers assume that they share some information with their audience and that their audience does not need them to spell out every word。 And listeners have an ability to add this information due to two sources of information, their knowledge of a particular subject and their knowledge or experience of the world. OK， so remember， listening is not a matter of just absorbing the speaker’s words—the listener has to do more than that。 The listener is not a tape recorder， absorbing the speaker’s words and putting them into his or her brain。 Rather
listening involves hearing the speaker’s words and reinterpreting them， adding information if necessary. So the meaning is not in the word alone, rather it is in the person who us it or responds to it. So that’s the cond thing that a listener must do-add information that the lecturer assumes that they share.
