[单项选择] Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
There are people in Italy who can’t stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey.

In New York City alone, six major institutions have spread up and out into the air space and neighborhoods around them or are preparing to do so.
The reasons for this confluence of activity are complex, but one factor is a consideration everywhere — space. With collections expanding, with the needs and functions of museums changing, empty space has become a very precious commodity.
