Text 2 The contempt of artists for critics is,of course,understandable.To create an artwork is to give the world a kind of gift,and no one likes having a gifi rejected,or even inspected too carefully.In a sense,artists who condemn criticism are relying on the old idea that"it's the thought that counts":Because the intention of the giver is generous and pure,any criticizing about the gift is cruelly small-minded.Yet as anyone who has received an ill-fitting or unsuitable gift knows,the thought is not the only thing that counts.Once a work of art emerges from its creator's study or studio,it becomes the possession of anyone who interacts with it,and therefore it is open to judgment:Do I actually derive pleasure and enlightenment from it?There is no way to evade this question,which is the foundation of all criticism.Every reader or viewer or listener asks it,whether they want to or not.A critic is just a reader or viewer or listener who makes the question explicit and tries to answer it publicly,for the benefit of other potential readers or viewers or listeners.No one gets to be president without wanting to write his or her name in large letters on the American psyche,but most presidents at least gesture in the direction of humility and public service.President Trump,however,has never been anything but straightforward about his egotism.He made his reputation in real estate by splashing his name in gold on almost every structure he built;now he hangs a map of his electoral victory on the White House wall.When the terms of his achievement are so personal,how could criticism fail to strike him as an egoistic injury?There is a danger when we see criticism as nothing but an expression of resentment.For in politics,as in art,the right to criticize is really the right to make an independent judgment of reality.Democracy relies on a citizenry informed and active enough to make such judgments;in a democracy,we are all critics.How to live with criticism is perhaps the hardest lesson that a liberal democracy teaches its citizens.No one really welcomes it,neither the left nor the right."If we are free to loathe Trump,xve are free to loathe his most loyal voters,"wrote Frank Rich in New York magazine in March.But as soon as our critics become our enemies-voices to be silenced and dismissed,rather than listened to-we have left the realm of politics behind 28.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that President Trump

A.does not wish to write his name in large letters.
B.gestures in direction of public services.
C.is nevcr a straightforward person.
D.should be criticized for his egoistic behavior.

Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.
It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.
We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II, at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared． In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered．Theirs was a serious business, and even those reviewers who wore their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. These men believed in journalism as a calling, and were proud to be published in the daily press. "So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism," Newman wrote, "that I am tempted to define 'journalism' as a term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are."
Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England's foremost classical-music critics, a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored． Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.
Is there any chance that Cardus's criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect seems remote.
Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly upholstered Vicwardian prose in which he specialized． Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.
Which of the following would Shaw and Newman most probably agree on?

A.It is writers' duty to fulfill journalistic goals.
B.It is contemptible for writers to be journalists.
C.Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism.
D.Not all writers are capable of journalistic writing.

The author’s purpose in this passage is to( )

A.list those writers who make up the back bone of a great literature curriculum
B.compare the young reader’s experience with literature to that of the mature reader
C.advocate the adoption of the“life experience” approach to teaching
D.plead for the retention of great literature as a fundamental part of the curriculum
