【答案解析】{{B}}[参考范文]{{/B}} Governments do not have unlimited budgets. They need to prioritize spending and ensure that the money they spend is used wisely and efficiently. At a time when hospitals and schools seem to require more money than ever, many people question whether the government really needs to spend much money on the arts. Personally, I think that the government should concentrate on other issues. People who support government funding of the arts claim that the arts are part of our culture. I am not entirely sure how much of the art that the government funds is part of our culture. Whilst some certainly is, much of the art on display in my country is not from Britain! Other items of art may be considered as such by experts and artists, but often ordinary people do not think they are artistic at all. Like the clothes we can see at top fashion shows, art is often all very nice, but not the kind of thing most people would have, even if they could afford it. If you asked ordinary British people to brainstorm about British culture, you would probably get responses like "The Beatles", sarcastic comedies, football, and fish and chips. I doubt that many people would mention Damien Hirst or Benjamin Britten. To claim that we should fund the arts because they are part of our heritage is a good argument. The government should certainly preserve some of our history for future generations. We need to ensure that a variety of art is preserved, not only traditional arts projects such as paintings in galleries. The government should not fund niche projects that very few people even regard as artistic, such as dead cows in formaldehyde, because the government needs to have the interests of the population at heart. To reiterate, I believe that the government has higher priorities that art, though relatively small amounts of money should be spent on the arts in order to help preserve our culture heritage. I believe that most funding for artistic projects should come from the people who go to see them and perhaps also from lottery money, as in done in Britain.
