    The Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery was preparing the wall text in 2014 to accompany an image of the boxer Mayweather Jr. During the process, the Washington museum decided to note that Mr. Mayweather had been“charged with domestic violence on several occasions,” receiving “punishments ranging from community service to jail time.”

    Such context is common for {#blank#}1{#/blank#} subjects in art, but far less so for artists themselves. Men like Picasso or Schiele were known for mistreating women, but their works hang in {#blank#}2{#/blank#} museums without any asterisks（星号）.

    Now, museums around the world are{#blank#}3{#/blank#} with the implications of a decision, by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} postpone a Chuck Close exhibition because of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of sexual harassment（骚扰）involving potential portrait models that have involved the artist in controversy. Mr. Cloze has called the allegations “lies” and said he is “being severely criticized.”

    The {#blank#}6{#/blank#} has raised difficult questions about what to do with the paintings and photographs of Mr. close—held by museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate in London and the Pompidou in Paris, as well as by high-spending collectors—and whether the work of other artists accused of questionable {#blank#}7{#/blank#} needs to be revisited.

    It is a provocative（引起争论的）moment for the art world, as the public debate about {#blank#}8{#/blank#} creative output from personal behavior moves from popular culture into the realm of major visual artists from different eras and the institutions that have long collected and exhibited their pieces.

“We're very used to having to defend people in the collection, but it's always been for the sitter” rather than the artist, said Kim Sajet, director of the Portrait Gallery, which has a large body of Mr. Close's work. “Now we have to think to ourselves, ‘Do we need to do that about Chuck Close?'”

    “You can't talk about portraiture in America without talking about Chuck Close,” she added. “There are lots of amazing artists who have been less than admirable people.”

    Whatever museums {#blank#}9{#/blank#} decide to do about Mr. Close, some say they can no longer afford to simply present art without {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the issues that surround the artist—that institutions must play a more active role in educating the public about the human beings behind the work.

Touring Cenotes

    My parents and I traveled to Mexico to visit my grandparents last summer, and we visited the cenotes (say-NO-tays), the natural swimming holes located on the Yucatán Peninsula. The term "swimming hole" might make you think that cenotes are just average, but cenotes are truly {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. I had the most exciting experience of my life exploring these wonders of nature.

    Thousands of years old, the cenotes formed and created sinkholes underneath. Though the ancient Mayans (玛雅人) used the cenotes as water {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, people can now swim, dive, take photographs, and admire local trees and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} life, all through water as clear as liquid diamond.

    In Cenote Azul, my parents, my grandparents, and I swam through water that seemed too blue to be real. I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} countless younger kids diving into the water from a small cliff, but I dared not to jump at first. I finally worked up the courage, and my {#blank#}5{#/blank#} try instantly put all my worries to rest.

    A few days later, we went to Cenote Ponderosa. We stayed in the sun-covered pond, where we {#blank#}6{#/blank#} floated while others did diving and took underwater photographs. Being surrounded by a valley of trees made everything else in the world seem to disappear.

    Grutas de Loltún were definitely the most magnificent of all the cenotes, even though there was no swimming involved. Grutas are caves, and the Grutas de Loltún are among the biggest caves on the entire Peninsula. Our guide, Carolina, walked us through several caves, where we saw many drawings thousands of years old on the cave walls! Just one brief look at those drawings made me feel like I had stepped back in time to a(n) {#blank#}7{#/blank#} era of history. Our group thought Carolina was joking when she claimed she could make the stalagmites(石笋) sing for us, but when she {#blank#}8{#/blank#} them, we heard what sounded like the words "Lol" and "Tun"—the name of the caves! I cannot imagine that a(n) {#blank#}9{#/blank#} played at a concert at Carnegie Hall would have been any better.

    Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula is filled with beauty, but the cenotes are a one-of-a-kind opportunity to commune with nature in a way that is impossible anywhere else on Earth, and I would not {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to do it all again.

    Thank you for choosing me as the best{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. In our school, I'm really happy to share with you how passionate I am about sports and what I do to{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. I'm a big{#blank#}3{#/blank#}of many sports, including basketball, football and gymnastics. I love to watch these events on TV at the weekend. I also{#blank#}4{#/blank#}regularly, too. In the morning. I often {#blank#}5{#/blank#}on the running{#blank#}6{#/blank#}for about half an hour. I don't run too fast or for too long so that I have enough{#blank#}7{#/blank#}for the day. In the afternoon, I usually play football or basketball. I'm on the school football team. The training is always {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, but we all do our best, since we all want to{#blank#}9{#/blank#}on the team when playing against other schools. Believe it or not, we also occasionally do yoga in the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}! It helps relax our muscles and focus our minds. If you want to become fit and healthy, my advice is to try different sports and activities to see which one you enjoy the most.

New York and New Tax

According to a Manhattan Institute survey, more than half of high-earning New Yorkers are working entirely from home and 44% are considering leaving the city. Ned Lamont, Connecticut's governor, has said "the old idea of the commuter(通勤者) going into New York City five days a week may be outdated." It does seem {#blank#}1{#/blank#} that the tens of thousands commuting from Mr. Lamont's state will continue to do so. The region's governors have {#blank#}2{#/blank#}well together to deal with the pandemic(流行病), but the friendliness may soon end over taxes.

When people from {#blank#}3{#/blank#}states like New Jersey and Connecticut commute to New York to work for a New York-based employer, they must pay New York tax on the related earned income. Even those who work from home must pay New York taxes unless the employee is working outside New York by {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

Taxpayers and those states are looking closely at this loophole(漏洞). In December, Connecticut and New Jersey applied to the Supreme Court to consider a case which {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a state's authority to tax non-residents' income while they are working remotely. They think this is definitely a(n) {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to the city's finances. "Firms have considered leaving the city before, and employees are gradually accepting the idea. They have been working remotely for almost ten months and they've {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to that idea."

Companies are also watching the progression of the billionaire Mark to Market Tax Act, which would treat capital {#blank#}8{#/blank#}from billionaires' property as taxable income. New York's Democratic governor said he would reject any laws {#blank#}9{#/blank#}heavy taxes on the rich, because it would drive out wealthy, mobile residents. It would not take too many moving trucks for the city to feel the economic loss, says Michael Hendrix. A 5% {#blank#}10{#/blank#}of New Yorkers making about $10,000 would result in an annual loss of $933m—roughly the amount distributed to the city's health department.
