TEXT E Democrats following the presidential campaign are divided into two factions these days: people who are frustrated that John Kerry isn’t crushing President Bush in polls, and people who say Kerry is in great shape compared to past challengers. "Gas prices are up, the stock market is down, Iraq is a mess, and John Kerry is saying to himself, ’How am I going to beat this guy’" David Letterman joked Monday night on CBS, summing up the sentiments of the first group. Kerry’s team says it’s amazing that he’s fled with a wartime president after a $60 million ad campaign against him. "They (the Bush campaign) thought they would unleash this and we would be standing before you dead. That is not the case," Kerry’s campaign manager, Mary Beth Cahill, said in an interview Tuesday. Bush has been under siege for weeks over violence against Americans in Iraq and the Iraqi prisoner-abuse scandal. Despite Bush’s difficult stretch, most polls show the presidential race tied. Kerry’s inability to break away, along with perceived missteps by him and his campaign, has fueled so many critiques that online commentator Mickey Kaus of Slate has started a "Dem Panic Watch" — a catalog of columns and stories about everything from Kerry team infighting to advice to lighten up. "I’ve always thought Kerry was a terrible candidate," Kaus, a Democrat, said in an interview. "I think he is proving that ... now. Democrats are definitely panicking." But Paul Begala, an architect of Bill Clinton’s 1992 victory, said Democrats "whining about Kerry have no sense of history, no sense of strategy." Case in point: Clinton was in third place behind President George H.W. Bush and Ross Perot at this point in 1992. Who are the two candidates in American presidential campaign this year

A. George W. Bush & John Kennedy
Bill Clinton & Bill Clinton
C. George W. Bush & Bill Clinton
D. George W. Bush & John Kerry

Photos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business! In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince’s photograph of a photograph, Untitled (Cowboy), was sold for $1,248,000. Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called "found photographs" —a loose term given to everything from discarded (丢弃的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger’s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes "basically everything is worth looking at", has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on. Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper (雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else: "Why’s your car HERE at HER place" The note became the starting point for Rothbard’s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such as a poster discovered in our drawer. The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art And if so, whose art Yet found photographs produced by artists, such as Richard Prince, may raise endless possibilities. What was the cowboy in Prince’s Untitled doing Was he riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone Or how did Prince create this photograph It’s anyone’s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us Why do we al! seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves Will they mean anything to anyone after we’ve gone By asking a series of questions in Paragraph 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that ______.

A. memory of the past is very important to people
B. found photographs allow people to think freely
C. the back-story of found photographs is puzzling
D. the real value of found photographs is questionable
