Many schools have their art programs removed in an effort to improve test scores and money.However, some researchers believe that this is not correct. Students can master some basic skills in art class that they cannot find in a normal classroom.

What is more,it is noted that the company's bosses are actively looking for employees who can think creatively. Creative thinking is one of the most important skills that students can learn in art courses.
Finally, students who are trained in art class have interesting mental habits. They low to work on a task for a long time and how to continue to work even if they are discouraged. They are better for creating a link between the classroom and the outside world. In addition,children who do art work are able to look back on their work and make judgments about themselves.

You know what a hotel is, of course. And perhaps, you also know what a condo is-a residential( 居住的 )building divided into separate units that are owned by different people.What you may not know is that in some U.S. cities, the two have come together into some thing called a
“condo hotel”.
Some condo hotels can now be found in beach and mountain towns and a few small cities,However, none is more famous than the great 105-year-old Plaza Hotel in New York,on Fifth Avenue across from Central Park. The Plaza closed for repair in 2005. When it reopened two years later,more than half of it had been changed into one of these modern condo hotels.
Here's how it works:You buy what equals to an apartment(公寓).If it's at' The Plaza,it will cost you between $1.5million and $9 million. So you own a part of the building. But there's some inconvinience. You may stay there no more than 120 days a year. The rest of the time,
the hotel's workers can book guests into your place, just as they would in the regular hotel's rooms. So
if you're lucky and rich,you can now live in really special quarters up to almost one third of the year. While others pay off your mortgage( 房贷)the rest of the year.
So far,a great many of the nation's condo hotel units have been purchased not by rich people but richer companies,including foreign ones. They want a nice place for their bosses to stay when they are in town or working late at the office.
47. A condo is a place where people________.
A. live B. work C. eat D. Study
48. How long can you stay in your own condo hotel unit a most each year?
A. 120 days B. One month   C. Half a year D. Three months.
49. What does purchased in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Closed.     B. Bought.    C. Damaged.     D. Repaired.
50. What do we know about a condo hotel?
A. It is designed by rich companies.
B. It is built for foreign travellers.
C. It is usually sold at a low price.
D.It is owned by different people.
