Modern sculpture rarely surprises us any more. The idea that modern art can only be seen in museums is mistaken. Even people who take no interest in art cannot have failed to notice examples of modern sculpture on display in public places. Strange forms stand in gardens, and outside buildings and shops. We have got quite used to them. Some so-called 'modern' pieces have been on display for nearly fifty years.
Electric currents in modern art
Modern Art includes artistic works produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s, and denotes the style and philosophy of the art produced during that era. The term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation.

Translation
那种认为公共博物馆会被在线浏览所取代的观点是错误的。因为即使是对艺术不感兴趣的人也会被公共博物馆内展出的文物所震撼。事实上，参观博物馆有助于我们更好地了解历史。
The idea that public museums will be replaced by the Internet browsing is mistaken for the reason that even people who take no interest in art can not have failed to be touched by the historical relics on display in public museums. Actually, visiting museums is beneficial to our understanding of history.
In spite of this, some people--including myself--were surprised by a recent exhibition of modern sculpture. The first thing I saw when I entered the art gallery was a notice which said: 'Do not touch the exhibits. Some of them are dangerous!' The objects on display were pieces of moving sculpture. Oddly shaped forms that are suspended from the ceiling and move in response to a gust of wind are quite familiar to everybody. These objects, however, were different. Lined up against the wall, there were long thin wires attached to metal spheres. The spheres had been magnetized and attracted or repelled each other all the time.
In the centre of the hall, there were a number of tall structures which contained colored lights. These lights flickered continuously like traffic lights which have gone mad. Sparks were emitted from small black boxes and red lamps flashed on and off angrily. It was rather like an exhibition of prehistoric electronic equipment. These Peculiar forms not only seemed designed to shock people emotionally, but to give them electric shocks as well!
(The End)
Oddly shaped forms that are suspended from the ceiling and move in response to a gust of wind are quite familiar to everybody.

Lined up against the wall, there were long thin wires attached to metal spheres.
解析句式结构

成逻辑上的被动关系，表示动作已完成。
2. 有些过去分词已经形成了系表结构，因此它们作
状语时虽与主句的主语之间是逻辑上的主动关系，但
仍用过去分词形式。

apologized to Aleko for having accused him.(L16)
