私人部门对艺术的支持——包括个人捐赠——于2008年达到了6.86亿英镑的峰值水平，但昨日发布的数据显示，商界投资额在去年下降了7%。一家推动艺术赞助的咨询机构——艺术与商业(Arts&Business)的一项调查显示，伦敦70%的艺术机构称，来自商界的资助额有所减少。

然而，伦敦市长在维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆(VictoriaandAlbertMuseum)向艺术界领袖发表演讲时表示，在经济衰退期间，投资于艺术“比任何时候都更为重要”。他表示：“艺术和文化不是奢侈品，而是这座城市DNA的一部分，是人们愿意来此生活和工作的原因。每10名游客中就有7名表示，这是他们来此游览的一个原因。离开伦敦的艺术，伦敦就不能称其为伦敦。”

伦敦市长的呼吁得到了老维克剧院(OldVic)艺术总监凯文斯佩西(KevinSpacey)的支持，他表示：“我在这里住了7年，我真诚地相信，英国在艺术和文化领域的卓越成就，是这个国家最强大的天然资源之一。但许多艺术机构正举步维艰。如果没有政治意愿，以及企业和公众的支持，它们将很难生存下去。”

伦敦市长敦促艺术界领袖认识到，英国文化机构的成功运作对经济有一定的影响力。在英国，公共部门对戏剧产业的投资额为1.213亿英镑，但该产业却为英国创造了26亿英镑的收入。大伦敦地区政府(GreaterLondonAuthority)估计，商业创意产业为伦敦提供了50万个就业岗位，创造了200亿英镑的增加值。10.Thebillwaspassedintheparliamentbyamajorityof200votes______30.A.overB.thanC.againstD.above11.Itisasocietyoftheever-wideninggapbetweenpoorandrich,rightandwrong,thediminishingvalueplacedonjusticeandfairness,andtheperplexityofrulesgoverningpowerandaccountabilities.Itisanintricate,bewilderingsocietydemandinghigherwisdom.However,itisessentialtoinstillinourchildren'syoungheartsanundyingfaithinhumanity.Wemustdevelopourowntrust—thatpoliticalleadersareethicallyandmorallyupright,thatcivilizationisbasictoourverysurvival,thattheearthunderourfeetisamplyirrigatedandaheavycrossbravelyborne.Wemustbelievethatbeneaththeclutterandchaosofthistreacherousworldliethingsthatwillneverdecay,despiteconstanterosion—matterssuchasresponsibility,integrity,moralfortitudeandcourage.12.Itisjustoneexampleofthegrowingconcernovertheincreasingpowerconsumptionandenvironmentalimpactofcomputers.Astudyfoundthatthepowerconsumptionofdatacentersdoubledbetween2000and2005,andnowaccountsfor1.2%ofAmericanelectricityconsumption,thoughotherestimatesputthefigureat4%.Companiesnowspendasmuchas10%oftheirtechnologybudgetsonenergy,saysRakeshKumarofGartner,aconsultancy.
