1 艺术在社会中的作用

段落大意：艺术在社会生活中具有不可替代的作用，它能够唤醒人们、提升人们，它能够反映社会价值。

Art is usually a criticism of the world as it is and a vision of the world as it might be. A characteristic of good art is that it engages individuals in a very deep and personal way, and in ways that may not be shared by every member of a group. The purpose of art is to find a way to wake people up who are going through their lives sleepwalking and say: “Stop it. You can't walk past this. This is your life.” Artists have to be able to function in society and say there are basic human values that must be, that cannot be shortchanged, or else we won't have a society. Art is an invitation to become part of something that is larger than us. The arts are connected to being a grown-up. In order to be a grown-up, one has to be able to envision other lives as real, other possibilities as real. When we don't have the arts, a very important part of us begins to starve and our humanity begins to dwindle.

2 艺术的重要性以及价值

段落大意：艺术使人感知世界，使人善于创造，赋予人更高形式的交流方式，是人们密不可分的朋友，因此能够有效反映社会价值。

Art is a link to the past. It provides an enjoyable perspective from which to examine history. Art helps people to understand and empathize with the living conditions people have endured at various times and places. Art encourages imagination. It shows people how they might express their own feelings and experiences through painting and drawing. Art provides people an opportunity to create and do, which can be a refreshing break from studying. Art teaches people how to interpret different forms of communication. It teaches them to understand figurative things like symbolism, metaphor, and the meanings of color. Art improves academic achievement. Evidence suggests that people who actively participate in some form of art — whether it be painting, acting, music, etc — perform better in other subjects than others who don't participate in art.

Symphony No. 9 in D minor op. 125 (Choral, completed 1824), perhaps the most famous work of classical music in existence, culminates in a choral finale based on the poem “Ode to Joy” by German writer Friedrich von Schiller. Like his opera Fidelio, op. 72 (1805; revised 1806, 1814) and many other works, the Ninth Symphony depicts an initial struggle with adversity and concludes with an uplifting vision of freedom and social harmony.
