     There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has

the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); 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 what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States.

You don'[t 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 had 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 schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said 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 an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge

audience for the electronic museum.

When my daughter Kelsey was a child, she loved to join me in the garden. To 36 chaos(混乱)in my own garden beds, I provided her with a space of her own, so Kelsey’s Corner was born. There she was 37 to dig and plant as she wished. Over time, that small piece of land grew into a favorite place in the 38.
As she approached high school, Kelsey took her 39 off the garden. I didn’t 40 to accept this change. It seemed acceptable that something as boring as working in the dirt gave way to the mystery of a(n) 41 social life, so I began to take care of the space. Even so, I knew it always would be Kelsey’s Corner.
Now my daughter is eighteen and is in the 42 weeks of her high school career. Our mailbox is filled with college admission materials, 43 me that the world has come for this young lady and that she will soon answer its 44. Kelsey is looking forward to her wonderful college life 45 her mother and I are anxious about the coming life 46 our daughter around.
Kelsey’s Corner seems extremely deserted in this early spring 47 Kelsey’s leaving. One morning, when I 48 past Kelsey’s Corner, I noticed some green seedlings had 49 at the foot of some dead stalks(秆).
It’s 50 that life is a cycle. Kelsey’s leaving is 51 one point on the cycle. Now the life wheel will roll with Kelsey as she 52 into her adult life.
Let her live as she will and let her 53 when she can, and whether she comes alone or in 54, she will be welcome home. I’ll take care of Kelsey’s Corner faithfully. It will also cycle annually, rolling on towards a 55 stage of our lives, one that promises a rich harvest.
