An aesthetic sense, an instinct for beauty, is one of the universal attributes of human beings. …（1）While at its lowest level aesthetic appreciation is merely of anthropological or sociological interest, at its highest level, perhaps, it duplicates artistic creation and exists on the same plane. But certainly that “plane” is multi-dimensional. …Many possible reasons why human beings are responsive to beauty and need art in their lives can and have been adduced.（2）My own theory is that art concentrates and channels emotions and experiences that would otherwise be inchoate and unformed in the psyche; that is to say, it brings into sharp focus and gives form to shadowy promptings, conflicting emotions, and half-glimpsed impressions of universal situations such as love, loss, questions of life's origins and end, and so forth, and it allows us to see and feel these impressions clearly and intently. …Judging from the evidence of the media, however, the emotional nature of aesthetic pleasure is a well-kept secret.（3）Almost every time run across a mention of aesthetics in the large circulation cultural organs and opinion magazines, the discussion centers around the deep appreciation of art as art. It's as if the only aesthetic pleasure there is in poetry or fiction or music is in the recognition oftechnical devices and form. …Everything that makes art a powerful instrument in human life is dependent upon its being a medium for life, not a thing in itself.…（4）When the so-called aesthetic temperament wishes to expel from the holy citadel all that is extraneous to art, it ends up actually reducing art to the dry abstraction of mathematics. No, it cannot be emphasized enough: poetry is not words, music is not notes, painting is not brush strokes. Poetry is feeling: all art is feeling. The quality that makes apiece of art a great work is simply and only the depth of its humanity. While technical devices, form and genre are the flesh and bones ofan art, emotions are its soul. …Ultimately all aesthetic moments, like the art that draws them forth, are individualistic. … the aesthetic moment, then, requires two equal partners.（5）The artist must present an intrinsically moving subject universal in scope, and the appreciator must bring to the work the

As Dr. Samuel Johnson said in a different era about ladies preaching, the surprising thing about computers is not that they think less well than a man, but that they think at all. The early electronic computer did not have much going for it except a marvelous memory and some good math skills. But today the best models can be wired up to learn by experience, follow an argument, ask proper questions and write poetry and music. They can also carry on somewhat puzzling conversations.Computers imitate life. As computers get more complex, the imitation gets better. Finally, the line between the original and the copy becomes unclear. In another 15 years or so, we will see the computer as a new form of life.The opinion seems ridiculous because, for one thing, computers lack the drives and emotions of living creatures. But drives can be programmed into the computer’s brain just as nature programmed them into our human brains as part of the equipment for survival.Computers match people in some roles, and when fast decisions are needed in a crisis, they often surpass them. Having evolved when the pace of life was slower, the human brain has an inherent defect that prevents it from absorbing several streams of information simultaneously and acting on them quickly. Throw too many things at the brain at one time and it freezes up.We are still in control, but the capabilities of computers are increasing at a fantastic rate, while raw human intelligence is changing slowly, if as all. Computer power has increased ten times every eight years since 1946. In the 1990, when the sixth generation appears, the reasoning power of an intelligence built out of silicon will begin to match that of the human brain.That does not mean the evolution of intelligence has ended on the earth. Judging by the past, we can expect that a new species will arise out of man, surpassing his achievements as he has surpassed those of his predecessor. Only a carbon chemistry enthusiast would assume that the new species must be man’s flesh-and-blood descendants. The new kind of intelligent life is more likely to be made of silicon.1.What do you suppose was the attitude of Dr. Samuel Johnson towards ladies preaching?2.Today, computers are still inferior to man in terms of （ ）.3.In terms of making quick decisions, the human brain cannot be compared with thecomputer because（ ） .4.Though he thinks highly of the development of computer science, the author doesn’t mean that（ ） .5.According to the passage, which of the following statements in TRUE?
