out copyrighting works of art.

M: Well, a copyright is a proof of authorship. (22)It protects artists against someone else using their work without their permission.

W: So, all artists' works will be protected by copyright law?

M: It's important to remember that United States Copyright Law protects artistic expressions such as paintings, (23)but does not protect any ideas, concepts, procedures or techniques.

W: How can artists obtain copyright protection?

M: The law has changed in 1978 and again in 1989. (24)For artists the current law means everything they create is automatically and immediately copyrighted. They don't have to file any documents and under the protection of the Copyright Law, any recreations of their original work such as prints are also covered by the artist's copyright.

Further more, any changes artists made to their original works are covered. The Law also makes it dear that when someone buys the work of art, they are not allowed to destroy or change that work of art.

W: What if the work was sold to a new owner?

M: (25)Artists keep the copyright even after selling the work of art. The purchaser may buy the physical work, but the right to make prints or copies is still the artists' and the buyer does not automatically have any right to make and sell prints or copies of work.

W: Do you have any suggestions to our artists in this area?

M: Although works are automatically copyrighted, artists are encouraged to register their work with United States Copyright Office. Registering art provides additional legal protection and also gives the people around the world the ability to approach the honors about licensing and purchasing right.

听力原文：W: Hello, Professor Kristiva. My name is Albert Humphries, and I live in London.

M: Miss Humphries. What is your question?

W: I've been studying Italian for some years. (19)But I find it very difficult to speak, and when I went to Milan this summer, I couldn't understand the Italian people at all. I got really disheartened.

M: How long have you been studying Italian?

W: About four years. I've been going to an evening class and I've watched BBC.

M: Did you buy the BBC hook?

W: No, we use a different book in the class.

M: Yes, I see, Miss Humphries, (20)I always think that learning a language is rather like learning to drive. Now, you couldn't learn to drive a car by sitting in a classroom or watching television. I think what you need is a lot of practice in using the language.

W: That's all very well if you live in Italy.

M: Yes, I understand the problem. You might arrange with another student or students to have regular conversation practice.

W: But the other students make the same mistakes as I do.

M: I think you're confusing learning with practicing. Learning to speak means being able to put together the right groups of words and to say them in a reasonably accurate way.

W: And what about learning to understand real Italian?

M: Well, again, you need practice in hearing the Italian language spoken by Italian speakers. Get one of them to read Italian newspaper onto a cassette. Then you listen to the recording until you almost know them by heart. You don't need a huge vocabulary. (21) You need a small vocabulary that you can use really efficiently, and to be able to de that you need lots and lots of practice.
