The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism, are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.
History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.
In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,” the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.
Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.
33．In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____.
A. history gives art works special appeal to set them apart
B. great works of art can go beyond national boundaries
C. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great arts
D. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures
34．According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_____.
A. they are results of scientific study  
B. they establish some general principles of art
C. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature
D. they are created by the world’s greatest artists
35．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?     B. Are Popular Arts Permanent?
C. Is Human Nature Uniform?       D. Are Artistic Values Universal?

Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences,   36   . Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore, 37   . It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
l  38   having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
l   39   If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
l You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.  40 Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

Dash of Hope
“Dash” is a symbol which represents every day we’ve spent alive on earth. Therefore, how you spend your “dash” is important.
Recently I   41  about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldn’t help but feel it was not by   42 , nor happenstance, that she had been named “Hope”. The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity  43  in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others.   44  I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had. It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special.
Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was   45   a “wish” in early December 2010 by the “Make-A-Wish” Foundation after being   46   that she had a rare type of bone cancer. However, when she found out that more than 150   47  in her area were waiting for their wishes to be granted (实现), she unselfishly used her wish to   48   that those children have their wishes granted. She also asked that it be done   49   January 16, 2011. Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her   50   request could not be granted as the funds (资金) were simply   51  . They calculated that they would need to raise more than one 52  dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish.   53  , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring  54   to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually    55   as well. Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations   56   the story of this caring young girl who had   57 the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged. Committees were formed and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in   58 money to help make Hope’s dream come true.
