The subject of what separates art and design has been debated for a long time. Artists and designers both create visual works using a/an1knowledge background, but their reasons for doing so are2different. Some designers consider themselves artists, but few artists consider themselves3.
So what exactly is the difference between art and design? Perhaps the most fundamental difference that we can all agree on is their4. Typically, the process of creating a work of art starts with nothing, a blank sheet of paper. A5of art is born from a view or value that the artist holds within himself or herself. They create the art to share that feeling with others, to6
the viewers to relate to it, learn from it or be7by it. The most renowned and successful art today is something that establishes the strongest8connection between the artist and their
9.
By contrast, when a designer sets out to 10a new piece, they almost always have a
11starting point, whether a message, an image, an idea or an action. The designer’s job isn’t to invent something12, but to communicate something that already exists, for a purpose. That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to do something: buy a product, use a
13, visit a location, or learn certain information. The most14designs are those that most effectively15their message and motivate their consumers to carry out a task.

A round of applause, please, for the Indian man who recently sang for 80 hours straight, setting a new Guinness world record. It’s an impressive feat, to be sure, but let’s just hope he still has a voice. According to Indian newspapers, Rajesh Burbure has been told to keep silent for several days so his vocal cords (声带) can heal.

It was reported that Burbure and his family are in a celebratory mood. “It’s a proud moment for all of us,” his wife told DNAIndia.com.

I, on the other hand, am unable to share their enthusiasm. Don’t get me wrong: I hope the 35-year-old Burbure lives forever, sells a million records and becomes an international celebrity. But his record–singing for 80 hours straight–is about as meaningful as most of the other curious but crazy feats listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Granted , I’m not qualified to speak on the subject. I’ve got no world records to my name– and I never expect to have any. Then again, maybe I am qualified to speak for those of us who have better things to do than train for years to sing an 80-hour medley (混合曲) of pop songs.

But let’s not just pick on poor Burbure. He’s not the only person chasing meaningless accolades. The Guinness Book of World Records is full of the names of people who at one time grew the longest hair, or built the biggest bicycle, or baked the largest cheesecake.

To all of these enterprising (有进取心的) souls I ask, simply, “What was it all for?”

Congratulations! For all of your painstaking effort, you became a footnote in a thick book that no one reads, except for you and the person who will eventually surpass you–with one more hour of singing, a few more centimeters of steel or a few more pounds of cheese.

After all, records are made to be broken.

From the text, we can learn that the author         .

      A.has no Guinness records, so he admires Burbures’ feat

       B.feels it is a pity he was not invited to share the happiness with the Burbures

       C.thinks singing for 80 hours straight is completely meaningless

       D.is quite worried about Burbure’s vocal cords

Before someone wins a Guinness record, he or she has to         .

       A.become an international celebrity

       B.know all about Guinness record

       C.practice a great deal

       D.bear great stress for fear of injury

We can infer from the article that        .

       A.after the 80 hours of singing, Burbure could no longer speak

       B.Burbure’ wife didn’t support his attempt to make a Guinness record

       C.many have criticized Burbure for his stupid behavior

       D.challenging a Guinness record may be harmful to the health

The author’s attitude to the Guinness world records mentioned in the passage is         .

       A.positive           B.impressed

       C.negative           D.touched

What is the best title for the passage?

       A.What Was the Point?

       B.Records Are Made to be Broken

       C.A New Indian Guinness Record

       D.The Guinness Book Is Boring

I had no idea that all of my question asking had any    15    on him or the others at all.
