The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note

with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, “Beautiful Inside My Head Forever”, at

资料

Sotheby’s in London on September 15th 2008 (see picture). All but two pieces sold,

fetching more than ￡70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last hurrah.

As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street,

Lehman Brothers, filed for bankruptcy.

The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising

vertiginously since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons

Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, a research firm-double the figure five

years earlier. Since then it may have come down to $50 billion. But the market

generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth,

enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other

industries.

In the weeks and months that followed Mr Hirst’s sale, spending of any sort

became deeply unfashionable, especially in New York, where the bail-out of the banks

coincided with the loss of thousands of jobs and the financial demise of many

art-buying investors. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from

galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the

most overheated sector-for Chinese contemporary art-they were down by nearly 90%

in the year to November 2008. Within weeks the world’s two biggest auction houses,

Sotheby’s and Christie’s, had to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients

who had placed works for sale with them.

The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped

buying Impressionists at the end of 1989, a move that started the most serious

contraction in the market since the second world war. This time experts reckon that

prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more

volatile. But Edward Dolman, Christie’s chief executive, says: “I’m pretty

confident we’re at the bottom.”

What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still

buyers in the market, whereas in the early 1990s, when interest rates were high,

there was no demand even though many collectors wanted to sell. Christie’s revenues

in the first half of 2009 were still higher than in the first half of 2006. Almost

everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem

at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three

Ds-death, debt and divorce-still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who

does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.

I was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living room -- a women's

group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening one man had been

particularly talkative frequently offering ideas and anecdotes while his wife sat

silently beside him on the couch. Toward the end of the evening I commented that

women frequently complain that their husbands don't talk to them. This man quickly

concurred. He gestured toward his wife and said "She's the talker in our family."

The room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. "It's true" he

explained. "When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she didn't keep

the conversation going we'd spend the whole evening in silence."

This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more

than women in public situations they often talk less at home. And this pattern is

wreaking havoc with marriage.

The pattern was observed by political scientist Andrew Hacker in the late '70s.

Sociologist Catherine Kohler Riessman reports in her new book "Divorce Talk" that

most of the women she interviewed -- but only a few of the men -- gave lack of

communication as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of

nearly 50 percent that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year

-- a virtual epidemic of failed conversation.

In my own research complaints from women about their husbands most often focused

not on tangible inequities such as having given up the chance for a career to

accompany a husband to his or doing far more than their share of daily life-support

work like cleaning cooking social arrangements and errands. Instead they focused

on communication: "He doesn't listen to me" "He doesn't talk to me." I found as Hacker

observed years before that most wives want their husbands to be first and foremost

conversational partners but few husbands share this expectation of their wives.

In short the image that best represents the current crisis is the stereotypical

cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in

front of his face while a woman glares at the back of it wanting to talk.

over the past decade, many companies had perfected the art of creating automatic

behaviors - habits - among consumers. These habits have helped companies earn

billions of dollars when customers eat snacks, apply lotions and wipe counters almost

without thinking, often in response to a carefully designed set of daily cues.

“There are fundamental public health problems, like hand washing with soap,

that remain killers only because we can’t figure out how to change people’s habits,”

Dr. Curtis said. “We wanted to learn from private industry how to create new

behaviors that happen automatically.”

The companies that Dr. Curtis turned to - Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive

and Unilever - had invested hundreds of millions of dollars finding the subtle cues

in consumers’ lives that corporations could use to introduce new routines.

If you look hard enough, you’ll find that many of the products we use every

day - chewing gums, skin moisturizers, disinfecting wipes, air fresheners, water

purifiers, health snacks, antiperspirants, colognes, teeth whiteners, fabric

softeners, vitamins - are results of manufactured habits. A century ago, few people

regularly brushed their teeth multiple times a day. Today, because of canny

advertising and public health campaigns, many Americans habitually give their pearly

whites a cavity-preventing scrub twice a day, often with Colgate, Crest or one of

the other brands.

A few decades ago, many people didn’t drink water outside of a meal. Then beverage

companies started bottling the production of far-off springs,and now office workers

unthinkingly sip bottled water all day long. Chewing gum, once bought primarily by

adolescent boys, is now featured in commercials as a breath freshener and teeth

cleanser for use after a meal. Skin moisturizers are advertised as part of morning

beauty rituals,slipped in between hair brushing and putting on makeup.

“Our products succeed when they become part of daily or weekly patterns,” said

Carol Berning, a consumer psychologist who recently retired from Procter & Gamble,

the company that sold $76 billion of Tide, Crest and other products last year.

“Creating positive habits is a huge part of improving our consumers’ lives, and

it’s essential to making new products commercially viable.”

Through experiments and observation, social scientists like Dr. Berning have

learned that there is power in tying certain behaviors to habitual cues through

relentless advertising. As this new science of habit has emerged, controversies have

erupted when the tactics have been used to sell questionable beauty creams or

Many Americans regard the jury system as a concrete expression of crucial

democratic values, including the principles that all citizens who meet minimal

qualifications of age and literacy are equally competent to serve on juries; that

jurors should be selected randomly from a representative cross section of the

community; that no citizen should be denied the right to serve on a jury on account

of race, religion, sex, or national origin; that defendants are entitled to trial

by their peers; and that verdicts should represent the conscience of the community

and not just the letter of the law. The jury is also said to be the best surviving

example of direct rather than representative democracy. In a direct democracy,

citizens take turns governing themselves, rather than electing representatives to

govern for them.

But as recently as in 1986, jury selection procedures conflicted with these

democratic ideals. In some states, for example, jury duty was limited to persons

of supposedly superior intelligence, education, and moral character. Although the

Supreme Court of the United States had prohibited intentional racial discrimination

in jury selection as early as the 1880 case of strauder v. West Virginia,the practice

of selecting so-called elite or blue-ribbon juries provided a convenient way around

this and other antidiscrimination laws.

资料

The system also failed to regularly include women on juries until the mid-20th

century. Although women first served on state juries in Utah in 1898,it was not until

the 1940s that a majority of states made women eligible for jury duty. Even then

several states automatically exempted women from jury duty unless they personlly

asked to have their names included on the jury list. This practice was justified

by the claim that women were needed at home, and it kept juries unrepresentative

of women through the 1960s.

In 1968, the Congress of the United States passed the Jury Selection and Service

Act, ushering in a new era of democratic reforms for the law abolished

special educational requirements for federal jurors and required them to be selected

at random from a cross section of the entire community. In the landmark 1975 decision

Taylor v. Louisiana, the Supreme Court extended the requirement that juries be

representative of all parts of the community to the state level. The Taylor decision

also declared sex discrimination in jury selection to be unconstitutional and

ordered states to use the same procedures for selecting male and female jurors.

[A]both litcrate and illiterate people can serve on juries

新题型Copying Birds May Save Aircraft Fuel

Both Boeing and Airbus have trumpeted the efficiency of their newest aircraft.

The 787 and 350 respectively . Their clever designs and lightweight composites

certainly make a difference . But a group of researchers at Stanford University ,

led by Ilan Kroo , has suggested that airlines could take a more naturalistic approach

to cutting jet-fuel use and it would not require them to buy new aircraft.

The answer, says Dr Kroo , lies with birds . Since 1914, scientists have known

that birds flying in formation-a V-shape-expend less energy. The air flowing over

a bird’s wings curls upwards behind the wingtips . a phenomenon known as upwash.

Other birds flying in the upwash experience reduced drag, and spend less energy

资料

propelling themselves . Peter Lissaman, an aeronautics expert who was formerly at

Caltech and the University of Southern California ,has suggested that a formation

of 25 birds might enjoy a range increase of 71%.

When applied to aircraft, the principles are not substantially different . Dr

Kroo and his team modeled what would happen if three passenger jets departing from

Los Angeles, San Francisco and I as Vegas were to assemble over Utah, assume an

inverted V-formation occasionally change places so all could have a turn in the most

favourable positions , and proceed to London. They found that the aircraft consumed

as much as 15% less fuel (coupled with a reduction in carbon-dioxide output).

Nitrogen-oxide emissions during the cruising portions of the flight fell by around

a quarter.

There are , of course , knots to be worked out . One consideration is safety ,

or at least the perception of it . Would passengers feel comfortable travelling in

companion? Dr Kroo points out that the aircraft could be separated by several

nautical miles , and would not be in the intimate groupings favoured by display teams

like the Red Arrows , A passenger peering out of the window might not even see the

other planes. Whether the separation distances involved would satisfy

air-traffic-control regulations is another matter, although a working group at the

International Civil Aviation Organisation has included the possibility of formation

flying in a blueprint for new operational guidelines.

It remains to be seen how weather conditions affect the air flows that make

formation flight more efficient. In zones of increased turbulence, the planes’ wakes

will decay more quickly and the effect will diminish. Dr Kroo says this is one of

the areas his team will investigate further. It might also be hard for airlines to

co-ordinate the departure times and destinations of passenger aircraft in a way that

would allow them to gain from formation flight. Cargo aircraft, in contrast, might

be easier to reschedule, as might routine military flight.

As it happens, America’s armed forces are on the on case already. Earlier this

year the country’s Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency announced plans to

pay Boeing to investigate formation flight, though the programme has yet to begin .

There are reports that some military aircraft flew in formation when they were low

on fuel during the Second World War ,but Dr Lissaman says they are unsubstantiated.

“My father was an RAF pilot and my cousin the skipper of a Lancaster lost over

Berlin,”he adds. So he should know.

判正误：41. Findings of the Stanford University researchers will promote the

sales of new Boeing and Airbus aircraft.

42. The upwash experience may save propelling energy as well as reducing

resistance.

43. Formation flight is more comfortable because passengers can not see the other

plans.

44. The role that weather plays in formation flight has not yet been clearly

defined.

45. It has been documented that during World War Ⅱ, America’s armed forces

once tried formation flight to save fuel.

“Suatainability” has become apopular word these days, but to Ted Ning, the

concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured apainful period of

unsustainability in his own life made itclear to him that sustainability-oriented

values must be expressed though everyday action and choice.

Ning recalls spending aconfusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. He’

d been though the dot-com boom and burst and,desperate for ajob,signed on with a

Boulder agency.

资料

It didin’t go well. “It was a really had move because that’s not my passion,”

says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales.

“I was miserable, I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the

night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said,

‘Just wait, you’ll trun the corner, give it some time.’”

许多美国人认为陪审团制度是一个具体的表达至关重要的民主价值观,包括所有公民的原则

满足最低资格的年龄和文化也同样主管陪审团服务;陪审员应该选择随机从社区的代表截

面;,不应该剥夺公民权利在担任陪审员的种族、宗教、性别、或国籍,同龄人,被告有权审判;,

判决应该不仅仅代表社会的良心和法律条文。陪审团也被认为是最好的生存直接而不是代议

制民主的例子。在一个直接民主,公民轮流管理自己,而不是为他们选出一名代表来管理。

但早在1986年,陪审团选择程序与这些民主理念冲突。在一些州,例如,陪审员的义务仅限于

人的所谓优越的智力,教育和品德。虽然美国的最高法院禁止种族歧视故意挑选陪审团成员

早在1880 strauder诉西弗吉尼亚州,选择所谓的精英或第一流的陪审团的实践提供了一个方

便的方式解决这个问题和其他反歧视法。

系统也未能经常包括女性陪审团,直到20世纪中叶。尽管女性在1898年第一次在犹他州州

陪审团,直到1940年代,大多数州女性陪审员资格。即使是这样几个州自动免除女性陪审员的

义务,除非他们personlly要求他们的名字列入陪审团列表。这种做法是合理的要求,女性需要

在家里,和它使陪审团不具备代表性的女性通过1960年代。
