26、sed earnings of six and one-half percent. Smaller farms saw growth in earnings of less than three percent. Part of American farm income came from the federal (联邦的) government. The Department of Agriculture reports that about thirty-nine percent of farmers accepted some kind of aid(援助), or subsidy in

A study of art history might be a good way to
44、learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotio
45、ns, and psychology.57. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors or of people very different from our owncan be provided by art.

46、 in most history books.58. In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed.

47、o Goya was perhaps the first truly “ political” artist. In his well- known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. 59. In the same way, art can reflect a cultures religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was a
48、lmost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible.
