According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in some way disturbed or come in contact with the supernatural—perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To counteract this evil contact, the iii person or one of his relatives will employ a medical man called a "singer" to perform. a healing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the "singer" will produce a sandpainting on the floor of the Navaho Hogan. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the "singer" will rub the sick or injured parts of the patient's body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong like it. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is destroyed and disposed of so its power will not harm anyone.
The art of sandpainting is handed down from old "singers" to their students. The materials used are easily found in the areas the Navaho inhabit: brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground by being crushed between 2 stones much as corn is milled into flour. The "singer" holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his thumb and forefingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor. With a steady hand and great patience, he is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system. The traditional Navaho does not allow copying of sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural powers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.
Which of the following might be the best title of the text？
A．Ancient Art
B．The Navaho Indian
C．Sandpaintings
D．Functions of Art

The history of responses to the work of the artist Sandro Botticelli(1444 —1510)suggests that widespread appreciation by critics is a relatively recent phenomenon. Writing in 1550, Vasari expressed an unease with Botticelli' s work, admitting that the artist fitted awkwardly into his evolutionary scheme of the history of art. Over the next two centuries, academic art historians defamed Botticelli in favor of his fellows Florentine, Michelangelo. Even when anti-academic art historians of the early nineteenth century rejected many of the standards of evaluation adopted by their predecessors, Botticelli' s work remained outside of accepted taste, pleasing neither amateur observers nor connoisseurs.(Many of his best paintings, however, remained hidden away in obscure churches and private homes.)
The primary reason for Botticelli' s unpopularity is not difficult to understand: most observers, up until the mid-nineteenth century, did not consider him to be noteworthy, because his work, for the most part, did not seem to these observers to exhibit the traditional characteristics of the fifteenth-century Florentine art. For example, Botticelli rarely employed the technique of strict perspective and, unlike Michelangelo, never used chiaroscuro.
Another reason for Botticelli' s unpopularity may have been that his attitude toward the style. of classical art was very different from that of his contemporaries. Although he was thoroughly exposed to classical art, he showed little interest in borrowing from, the classical style. Indeed, it is paradoxical that a painter of large-scale classical subjects adopted a style. that was. only slightly similar to that of classical art.
In any case, when viewers began to examine more closely the relationship of Botticelli' s work to the tradition of the fifteenth century Horentine art, his reputation began to grow. Analyses and assessments of Botticelli made between 1850 and 1870 by the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, as well as by the writer Pater(although he, unfortunately , based his assessment on an incorrect analysis of Botticelli' s personality), inspired a new appreciation of Botticelli throughout the English-speaking world. Yet Botticelli' s work, especially the Sistine frescoes, did not generate worldwide attention until it was finally subjected to a comprehensive and scrupulous analysis by Home in 1908. Home rightly demonstrated that the frescoes shared important features with paintings by other fifteenth-century Florentines—features such as skillful representation of anatomical proportions, and of the human figure in motion. However, Home argued that. Botticelli did not treat these qualities as ends in themselves—rather, that he emphasized clear depletion of a story, a unique achievement and one that made the traditional Florentine qualities less central.
Because of Home' s emphasis crucial to any study of art, the twentieth century has come to appreciate Botticelli' s a-chievements.

Art is considered by many people to be little more than a decorative means of giving pleasure.This is not always the case, however; at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose.
According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in some way disturbed or come in contact with the supernatural-perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or
the dead. To counteract this evil contact, the ill person or one of his relatives will employ a medical
man called a "singer" to perform. a healing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural be-
ing. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 t0 9 days, the" singer" will produce a sandpainting
on the floor of the Navaho Hogan. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the "singer" will rub the sick or injured parts of the patient' s body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting. In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong like it. After the ceremony, the sandpainting is destroyed and disposed of so its power will not harm anyone.
The art of sandpainting is handed down from old "singers" to their students. The materials used are easily found in the areas the Navaho inhabit: brown, red, yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground by being crushed between 2 stones much as corn is milled into flour.

Searching the Web with Yahoo!
Yahoo!, like the Web itself, is too large to be explored entirely link by link. However, with over half a million sites divided into more than 25, 000 categories, Yahoo! is both browseable and searchable. Use these two features and you will almost always find something to match your interests.
You can browse Yahoo! by simply clicking on the various categories listed on each page.
Search Yahoo! by entering a word (or, a few words) into the search box that appears on every page in the directory. Combine the two strategies and you can "browse and then search" or "search and then browse". Of course, a key question remains: "When should I search Yahoo!？"
You should search Yahoo! when you are looking for a website and you know its rifle.
Example: You're looking for People Magazine online. Instead of browsing through the News and Media category, finding Magazines, and then finding the People Magazine in the alphabetical list, just type "people magazine" into any search box (you don't need to capitalize the words and you don't need quotes).
You should search Yahoo! when you are looking for a specific topic.
Example: You're planning a vacation to Australia. Remember that Yahoo! organizes sites into categories, Those categories are organized by topic. "Does Yahoo! have anything on the topic of Australian Travel？" Search. Type in the words "australia travel" (no quotes, no capitals) and see what happens. One of the first results is the category. Regional: Countries: Australia: Recreation and Sports: Travel. Is that the topic you're after？ Yes. Click on it. And remember: if you don't get results on your first search, modify it and try again: sometimes searching is more of an art than a science.
You should search Yahoo! when you want to see where in Yahoo! a particular website is listed,
Example: You love the computer game Myst You're not really interested in Myst itself, since you've already played it for 150 hours, but you are in the market for a similar product. Type "myst' into any search box. Check the results. Click on the first category. This will take you to the Myst game category, deep within the Yahoo! Hierarchy (等级制度). Now, here's the cool part: Look at the title of the page "Top: Recreation: Games: Computer Games: Genres: Adventure: Titles: Myst". All the words in that title are hyperlinks except for the last one (because you are already on the Myst page). Click on the next to last word, "Titles." Voila! There is a whole list of computer games in the same type as Myst.
So, now you know when to search Yahoo!. How about reading a search results page？ That can be a tricky task for the uninitiated. Once you get the hang of it, however, it's not hard to master.
Inside the Search Machine
Yahoo! search looks for the following main things:
Yahoo! categories, websites listed in Yahoo!
Web pages indexed by Inktomi.
For the first two of these, Yahoo! searches for matches in its database and then ranks the results in order of most relevant to least relevant. Some of the factors that affect relevancy are: The number of search words matched. The more words matched the higher the rank. Exact word matches. These are ranked higher than approximate matches.
Where in an entry the search words were found. A match in the title of a site is ranked higher than a match in the comments or URL.
Getting Results
The first set of results are Yahoo! categories. Since categories are populated with Yahoo! sites, a Yahoo! category can yield hundreds or even thousands of relevant websites. That's why we put them first. Of course, if no categories match your search terms, we send you straight to the Yahoo! sites.
Yahoo! sites are listed with the categor
