选择题

 

Graffiti painting is traditionally a daredevil pursuit. Teenagers dodge security guards to

 

put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared

 

from Britain' s cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by

 

the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer

 

places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls,

 

such as the Stockwell ball courts. In time the practice may die out entirely. The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing.

 

Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments

 

are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into

 

painting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art school

 

and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more

 

attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard. Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men—and almost all

 

are men —are now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But

 

for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses

 

at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon —a slightly healthier

 

alternative to sitting and watching football.

 

1.Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names on

 

trains and buses. [答 F]

 

2.Less tags can be found in public places nowadays. [答 T]

 

3.Because of better policing graffiti decreases. [答 T]

 

4.Some teenagers go to art school in order to learn to paint walls. [答 F]
