Arthur Dove was an abstract nature painter whose work was radically different and underappreciated in the American art scene
[1] In fact, Dove was the first American artist to paint in an entirely abstract manner [2] He painted a set
of six abstract works around 1910, prior to the European artist Wassily Kandinsky‟s famous abstract compositions [3] Kandinsky‟s abstract work, however, complemented the cultural context in Europe, and was therefore appreciated Dove‟s work had no similar cultural context in America [4]
Overall, Dove's abstract paintings did nothing to change Amercican art His work was not once but twice
orphaned: by the general indifference of the Amercican public, and by his own reclusive nature
Nevertheless, Dove's abstract paintings remain interesting compositions on nature
Trang 4Dove once wrote, “I would like to make something that is real in itself, or to be real without looking like something else, that does not remind anyone of any other thing, and that does not have to be explained, like the letter A for instance.”

IX Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
Television
An American TV network has had an international hit with the drama "24” a thriller known for its suspense and often graphic violence Over the past year, controversy has surrounded the series because of its portrayal of Muslim terrorists and its frequent scenes of torture But the content of “24” is not the only thing
that would have been unthinkable on prime−time television 20 years ago Its form also represents a major change in modem TV: during each episode‟s 44 minutes − a real−time hour, minus 16 minutes for
Trang 5commercials – the show connects the lives of 21 different characters, each with their own personalities and
specific relationships with other characters Nine different story lines (or “threads") arc depicted, each
involving events and information revealed in previous episodes [ I ]
[2] For years many people have assumed that popular culture is in a state of decline rapidly degenerating into
“junk culture" with no worthwhile purpose But an interesting new book challenges that assumption
“Everything Bad is Good for You: How Today‟s Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter," by Steven Johnson, makes a persuasive argument that today‟s complex TV dramas and other pop culture Products gives healthy mental exercise He calls the use or complex, interwoven plot lines involving multiple
characters “multi−threading”, and it is a new and growing phenomenon in TV To keep up with shows like
“24", he points out, you must “pay attention, make inferences, track shifting social relationships", and these cognitive challenges are changịng our mental development for the better [3]
[4] The most obvious change in the last five years of narrative entertainment is the rise of reality TV, Surely, you might be thinking, watching “Survivor" or “The Bachelor” cannot possibly raise anyone's IQ
“Survivor” is now in its tenth season, and “The Bachelor” is in its seventh But as Johnson tells us lately
“even the junk has improved” The new reality shows are like games: they arc series of competitive tests,
each more challenging than the last, and with rules that must be learned as you play On “Survivor" for instance, the participants and the audience know the general objective of the game but each episode brings new challenges that require quick thinking Success in these games calls for the intellectual labor of finding the weak spots in the rules and in your opponents This labor is done not just by the stars of the shows but
the viewers at home as well This is what makes these shows such fun to watch − the human mind enjoys being challenged As Johnson writes, “There‟s real pleasure in solving puzzles, detectingpatterns or
understanding a complex narrative system."
