The Whitney Museum of American Art，the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art，Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are.They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s.Alumni，whose current ages range from 18 to 36，were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.
Among the alumni surveyed，75 percent of them thought the teen art program experience had the most favorable impact on their own lives，beating the family，school and their neighborhoods.Nearly 55 percent thought that it was one of the most important experiences they'd ever had，regardless of age.And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.
It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about culture even after they reach adulthood：Ninety-six percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years，and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years.Thirty-two percent of alumni work in the arts as adults.
Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums，it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts.A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the Arts found that the childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with people's income and educational attainments（成就）as adults.Other studies have linked arts education to everything from lower dropout rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.

Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.For example，if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain，he might say. "It's a little damp（潮湿的）outside." Or，if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person，someone else might say， "She isn't exactly friendly." Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly.Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street.They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society.They like to make jokes about their accents，the way they dress and the way they behave.What's more，the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society.The comedy series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.
Mr Bean doesn't talk often，and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh.Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do.Mr Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour.Because of this，many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
