There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art; Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.

FIU has opened the first computer art museum in the United States. You dont have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.

Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer artists have no place to show their works.

A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records or floppy discs to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.

Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at university. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak says the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

The sun was shining as Kevin walked to the old bench where he met Mike every afternoon after school. They were good friends and loved to play football. They didnt have enough money to buy a real football, but Mike had made a ball out of old socks covered with a piece of plastic. It wasnt beautiful, but it worked well. The two friends didnt stop kicking and running until very late.

The next afternoon, Mike and Kevin met again at the old bench. Soon the home-made ball was spinning (旋转) across the grass as the boys laughed and shouted happily. The ball was stopped by a boy wearing a nice pair of sneakers (运动鞋). Kevin was upset when he saw it was Steven.

The next morning, Kevins mother gave him an envelope. “Your uncle sent you a birthday present,” she smiled. Kevins eyes grew big when he saw the $100 bill. Later that day, a pair of new sneaker lay next to his chair, and in the corner, a real football.

The next afternoon, Steven invited Kevin to play football on the field next to the library. Steven did not want Mike to join them only because Mikes sneakers were dirty and he was not good at football. When the game was over, Kevin and Steven walked past the old bench where Mike was sitting. Steven picked up a stone and threw it at him. Kevin, holding his new football in his hands, walked on and did not look back.

One afternoon, as Kevin walked past the old bench, he saw something lying under it. He looked closer and saw it was the home-made ball. Kevin was full of sorrow at the sight of his old home-made ball, and he let out a sad sigh (叹气). As his sadness turned to anger, he picked up his new football and kicked it into the air. Kevin kicked it so hard that it flew past the library and over the school gate. Then Kevin walked to the bench and picked up his home-made ball. Holding it in his hands, Kevin sat down and waited.
