　　[单选题]Some people hate everything that is modern.They cannot imagine how
anyone can really like modern music;they find it hard to accept the new fashions
in clothing;they think that all modern painting is ugly;and they seldom have a
good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the
world.Such people look for perfection in everything,and they take their
standards of perfection from the past.They are usually impatient with anyone who
is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in
materials original ways.It is,of course,true that many artists do not succeed in
their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures.If
the work of art is a painting,the artist's failure concerns himself alone,but if
it is a building,his failure concerns others too,because it may damage the
beauty of the whole place.This does sometimes happen,but it is completely untrue
to say,as some people do,that modern architecture is nothing.

　　We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient
time,even though we admire the ancient buildings.Technologically,the modern
buildings are more advanced.The modern architect knows he should learn from the
ancient works,but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials,he will
never be content to imitate the past.He is too proud to do that.

　　Ait is true to say artists fail in their work

　　Bit is untrue to say artists fail in their work

　　Cit is true to say some artists fail in their work

　　Dit is true to say only painters fail in their work

　　参考答案：C

experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to
build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to get rid of trouble !

can improve their moods. People might become happier.

Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. These famous men were known for their energy.
