私人部門對藝術的支持——包括個人捐贈——于2008年達到了6.86億英鎊的峰值水平，但昨日發(fā)布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，商界投資額在去年下降了7%。一家推動藝術贊助的咨詢機構(gòu)——藝術與商業(yè)(Arts&Business)的一項調(diào)查顯示，倫敦70%的藝術機構(gòu)稱，來自商界的資助額有所減少。

然而，倫敦市長在維多利亞和阿爾伯特博物館(VictoriaandAlbertMuseum)向藝術界領袖發(fā)表演講時表示，在經(jīng)濟衰退期間，投資于藝術“比任何時候都更為重要”。他表示：“藝術和文化不是奢侈品，而是這座城市DNA的一部分，是人們愿意來此生活和工作的原因。每10名游客中就有7名表示，這是他們來此游覽的一個原因。離開倫敦的藝術，倫敦就不能稱其為倫敦?！?/p>

倫敦市長的呼吁得到了老維克劇院(OldVic)藝術總監(jiān)凱文斯佩西(KevinSpacey)的支持，他表示：“我在這里住了7年，我真誠地相信，英國在藝術和文化領域的卓越成就，是這個國家最強大的天然資源之一。但許多藝術機構(gòu)正舉步維艱。如果沒有政治意愿，以及企業(yè)和公眾的支持，它們將很難生存下去?！?/p>

倫敦市長敦促藝術界領袖認識到，英國文化機構(gòu)的成功運作對經(jīng)濟有一定的影響力。在英國，公共部門對戲劇產(chǎn)業(yè)的投資額為1.213億英鎊，但該產(chǎn)業(yè)卻為英國創(chuàng)造了26億英鎊的收入。大倫敦地區(qū)政府(GreaterLondonAuthority)估計，商業(yè)創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)業(yè)為倫敦提供了50萬個就業(yè)崗位，創(chuàng)造了200億英鎊的增加值。10.Thebillwaspassedintheparliamentbyamajorityof200votes______30.A.overB.thanC.againstD.above11.Itisasocietyoftheever-wideninggapbetweenpoorandrich,rightandwrong,thediminishingvalueplacedonjusticeandfairness,andtheperplexityofrulesgoverningpowerandaccountabilities.Itisanintricate,bewilderingsocietydemandinghigherwisdom.However,itisessentialtoinstillinourchildren'syoungheartsanundyingfaithinhumanity.Wemustdevelopourowntrust—thatpoliticalleadersareethicallyandmorallyupright,thatcivilizationisbasictoourverysurvival,thattheearthunderourfeetisamplyirrigatedandaheavycrossbravelyborne.Wemustbelievethatbeneaththeclutterandchaosofthistreacherousworldliethingsthatwillneverdecay,despiteconstanterosion—matterssuchasresponsibility,integrity,moralfortitudeandcourage.12.Itisjustoneexampleofthegrowingconcernovertheincreasingpowerconsumptionandenvironmentalimpactofcomputers.Astudyfoundthatthepowerconsumptionofdatacentersdoubledbetween2000and2005,andnowaccountsfor1.2%ofAmericanelectricityconsumption,thoughotherestimatesputthefigureat4%.Companiesnowspendasmuchas10%oftheirtechnologybudgetsonenergy,saysRakeshKumarofGartner,aconsultancy.
