38、the conclusion of a leading British criminal behavior expert.Dr. Keith Hayward says antisocial behavior results from a need to experience new sensations（感受）. And, stealing a car to ride around in it offers young people the same thrill as shoppers get from buying goods.That desire is encouraged among

If that need is not met, then they feel that something is missing. Some young people then use “the exciting p
40、ossibilities offered by criminal activities” to fill the expectation gap.Hayward says a consumer society teaches young people that their needs must be met instantly. Apart from shopping, he claimed, crime was an easy way for that desire to be fulfilled.Hayward said young people were repeatedly told
41、that the purpose of their lives was to consume. However, he said, they rarely question what role this “language of seduction(诱惑)”plays in shaping their everyday lives.59.

He emigrated（
45、移民）with his family to the United States in 1913.In the autumn of 1923, Rothko found employment in the garment district and took up residence on the Upper West Side.

46、s was the start of his life as an artist. In 1936, Mark Rothko began writing a book about the similarities in the childrens art and the work of modern painters. The work of modernists, which was influenced by primitive（原始的） art, could, according to him, be compared to that of children in that child
47、art transforms itself into primitivism, which is only the child producing an imitation of himself. In this same work, he said that the fact that one usually begins with drawing is already academic. We start with color.It was not long before his multi-forms developed into the style he is remembered f
48、or. In 1949 Rothko exhibited his new works.
