Ten years ago I used to be very fit （健康的）．I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends．I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks．In those days I didn't earn very much．I had a job in an office．It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing．
Then，about eight years ago，I got a much better job．The pay was better，but the hours were a lot longer．I bought a car and drove to work every day．I began to take people out to lunch．And I began to put on weight，too．I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more．
There's a lot of stress （壓力） in my job．Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to．For example，I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home，but then I started filling my glass to the top，and instead of having one glass，I would have several．I started smoking a lot，too．I never used to smoke at all．
Two months ago I had a heart attack．At first I just couldn't believe it．Luckily it wasn't very serious．The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less．He also advised me to work less and get more exercise．But I just haven't any time!My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job．Perhaps I could do something like I used to do．But if I do that，I won't earn as much．I have a family to support．I have to think of them，too．I just don't know what I should do．What do you think？

  • 1．The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago．Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and protest poems on buildings．Modern graffiti seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s，and by the late sixties it had reached New York．The new art form really took off in the 1970s，when people began writing their names，or "tags"，on buildings all over the city．In the mid-seventies it was sometimes hard to see out of a subway car window，because the trains were completely covered in spray paintings known as masterpieces．
    In the early days，the "taggers" were part of street crowds who were concerned with marking their territory （領地）．They worked in groups called "crews" and called what they did "writing"-the term "graffiti" was first used by The New York Times and the novelist Norman Mailer．Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies．But at the same time that it began to be regarded as an art form，John Lindsay，the then mayor of New York，declared the first war on graffiti．By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught，and instead many of the more established graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings．
    The debate over whether graffiti is art or deliberate damage is still going on．Peter Vallone，a New York city councilor，thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art，but if it is on someone else's property it becomes a crime． "I have a message for the graffiti destroyers out there，" he said recently， "and your freedom of expression ends where my property begins．" On the other hand，F(xiàn)elix，a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City，says that artists are reclaiming cities for the public from advertisers，and that graffiti represents freedom and makes cities livelier．
    For decades graffiti has been a springboard to international fame for a few．Jean-Michel Basquiat began spraying on the street in the 1970s before becoming a respected artist in the 80s．The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have achieved international fame by producing complex works with stencils （模板），often making political or humorous points．Works by Banksy have been sold for over ￡ 100，000．Graffiti is now sometimes big business．

    （1）Why was the seventies an important decade in the history of graffiti？

    A．That was when modern graffiti first appeared．
    B．That was when modern graffiti first became really popular．
    C．That was when graffiti first reached New York．
    D．That was when graffiti first appeared on subway car windows
    （2）What does the underlined word "taggers" in the second paragraph mean？

    A．Names of people who graffitied．
    B．Building where paints were sprayed．
    C．People who marked surface with graffiti．
    D．People who were interested in graffiti．
    （3）What can we know from the third paragraph？

    A．New Yorkers think graffiti is art．
    B．Graffiti was accepted by officials completely．
    C．Buildings can be covered with graffiti freely．
    D．There were once advertisements on city surface．
    （4）What is the author's final opinion about graffiti？

    A．Graffiti has now become mainstream and can benefit artists．
    B．Graffiti is not a good way to become a respected artist．
    C．Some popular graffiti artists end up being ignored by the art world．
    D．Some graffiti caused inconvenience to the local environment．
