问题     At present, although science has been developing at a high speed, people still have a high opinion of artists such as musicians, painters and writers. What can the arts tell us about life that science cannot?
选项
答案     In recent decades, science has advanced incredibly, yet many people still hold artists in high regard. In this essay, I will suggest that this is because artists try to tell us things that scientists seem to find it hard to tell us.
    First, artists tend to be good at telling us stories whilst scientists tend to tell us bare facts. Artists who are highly regarded are usually those who can produce a picture, sculpture, song, etc., that tells us a story about life or our belief system. They not only focus on what has actually happened but also on what people feel or felt about what occurred. Scientists tend to be more focused on the facts, which can make them appear detached from everyday life. For example, when painting a picture of a woman, an artist is likely to focus some attention on the qualities that his society feels are valuable in a woman.
    Second, artists are sometimes better able to tell us the ways in which it is possible to lead our lives in this world full of scientific achievements. Scientists are usually able to tell us how to use particular scientific achievements, but when it comes to using all of them together, it is often the artist who can provide suggestions.
    Neither of these points applies exclusively to artists. Indeed, history shows us very clearly that a scientist can also be an artist—Da Vinci being one of the most obvious examples. However, as a general rule, I think that scientists focus more on factual information and artists focus more on feelings.
