for ordinary, everyday "folks" who, with increasing prosperity and leisure, created a market for art of all kinds, and especially for portraits Citizens of prosperous, essentially middle-class republics - whether ancient Romans, seventeenth-century Dutch burghers, or nineteenth-century Americans - have always shown a marked taste for portraiture Starting in the late eighteenth century, the United States contained increasing numbers of such people, and of the artists who could meet their demands The earliest American folk art portraits come, not surprisingly, from New England - especially Connecticut and Massachusetts - for this was a wealthy and populous region and the center of a strong craft tradition Within a few decades after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the population was pushing westward, and portrait painters could be found at work in western 323 New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri Midway through its first century as a nation, the United States' population had increased roughly five times, and eleven new states had been added to the original thirteen During these years the demand for portraits grew and grew, eventually to be satisfied by the camera In 1839 the daguerreotype was introduced to America, ushering in the age of photography, and within a generation the new invention put an end to the popularity of painted portraits Once again an original portrait became a luxury, commissioned by the wealthy and executed by the professional But in the heyday of portrait painting - from the late eighteenth century until the 1850's -anyone with a modicum of artistic ability could become a limner, as such a portraitist was called Local craftspeople - sign, coach, and house painters - began to paint portraits as a profitable sideline; sometimes a talented man or woman who began by sketching family members gained a local reputation and was besieged with requests for portraits; artists found it worth their while to pack their paints, canvases, and brushes and to travel the countryside, often combining house decorating with portrait painting Question 36 In lines 3- the author mentions

than those on the road today Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or 326 electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no
