not published any major work. Later that year, he travelled to Hawaii. While on the island, he wrote
about his adventures for newspapers in California. His writings drew public interest. After getting
back, he was invited to give a speech about his experiences in Hawaii. His sudden popularity shocked
him, and he wrote about his first speech in his book Roughing It: “I felt so frightened...I pretended (假

inHawaii.Twain did not read from his writings when hegave a speech. Healways had his audience in

Street art can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and even rubbish bins from Tokyo to
Paris toNewYork City.This special kindofart can take theform of paintings, sculptures, cloth and so
on. Street art has become part of the culture which can be seen around the world. Now, even art

as a rich form of non-traditional culture expression. Street art began in New York City in the 1960s.
Youngadults would use paint in special cans to spray (喷射) their “ tag” on walls and train cars around
the city.This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their art work.This colorful style
of drawing and writing became known as graffiti (涂鸦). Graffiti art showed that young people wanted
tofight against therules.They travelled around cities to make paintings thateveryone could see.
Street artists do their work for some reasons. A number of them choose street art because it is
closer to the everyday life.What they enjoy most is the freedom of expressing themselves which street
art allows. One well-known street artist is Swoon. She cuts out paper images of people and puts them
on walls. Swoon didn't start her career as a street artist. She studied art, but, as time went on, she got
bored with the works she saw in museums.Then she fell in love with graffiti.The people in NewYork
enjoy Swoon's strong and interesting style. Somemuseumshave already bought some ofherworks.

Chinese people started to build gardens more than 2,000 years ago. Chinese gardens are a special
form oftraditional Chinese cultureand art.
At the entrance to a Chinese garden, there is usually a huge stone or wall to catch your eyes.This
is to give you a pressed-in feeling in order to later produce unexpected joy when you turn around the
hall to see the amazing rock formations (假山) and a big lake. The best example is the Summer
Palace.
Rock formations play an important role in the design of a Chinese-style garden. Without them, a
garden could not be considered a Chinese-style garden. They are as important to a Chinese-style
garden as sculptures are to a European-style garden. Ge Garden in Yangzhou is famous for its Four
Seasons Rockeries.
Gardens in the south are mostly small in size. Chinese garden designers have used the method of
“borrowing scenery with a mirror” to create a sense of space. Amirror is hung opposite a window to
take in the outside scenery. A fine example of this is Pian Shi Shan Fang, a rockery in He
Garden,Yangzhou.Abig mirror is built into the wall of its west corridor(走廊).The whole garden will
be seen in the mirror wherever the visitors are.Apool or a lake in a garden also serves this purpose.A
pool runs from south to north through the garden of Pian Shi Shan Fang. East of the rockery, a
man-made moon isreflected(倒映)in thepool.
Whatever methods used, every effort is made to achieve the purpose of giving visitors a sense of
space in thegarden.
