【答案解析】[解析] 23-25 M: How do you like the new art museum? W: Wonderful! I spent most of my time at the art museum. I especially liked the new wing. I was amazed to hear the guide explain the problems they had while building it. M: Right. I just read an article that went on and on about the cost. 90 million in total I think. W: Yeah. The guide mentioned that. You could see they spared no expense. M: Hm. It looked really unusual, at least from what I saw in the picture. W: It is. The basic design is two triangles. In fact there are triangles all over, the paving stones in the courtyard, the skylights and even a lot of the sculptures. One sculpture is a mobile. It's in the courtyard and it's made of pieces of aluminum that moves slowly in the air. It's really impressive. M: That was in the article, too. It said that the original was steel and it weighed so much that it wasn't safe to handle. W: Right. They did it over in aluminum so it wouldn't come crashing down on someone's head. M: You know the article went into that in detail. There was even an interview with the sculptor. W: I'd like to read that. Would you mind if I borrow the magazine sometime? M: No. I wouldn't mind if I haven't thrown it out yet. 23. How had the man learned about the museum?
